Anyone even remotely interested in this weekend’s Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is likely too busy mashing buttons playing the new Street Fighter 4 to actually spend time revisiting the videogame-turned-film saga’s first American installment. Nonetheless, for those who prefer their Street Fighter in cinematic form and/or adore big-screen fiascos, there are few entries in the Jean-Claude Van Damme canon that are funnier than 1994’s Street Fighter, in which the Muscles From Brussels attempts to breathe life into that icon of 2-D crew-cutted U.S. military might, Colonel Guile. Van Damme’s turn is typically cartoonish and one-note, which makes perfect sense given that he’s embodying an arcade game character with virtually no personality traits. Even by the actor’s low standards, though, there’s still something startlingly wooden about his attempts to approximate the flip-kicking Guile's trademark combat maneuvers. To be fair to the once-popular action star, though, the film’s level of unintentional hilarity wouldn’t be quite as high as it is were it not also for the participation of the late Raul Julia as last-level villain General Bison, a performance at once riotous for its over-the-top lameness (“For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday”) and depressing for its status as the ignominious end to Julia’s respected career.
