Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind (2009)

 

Some of the best fighters in the world have gone missing. Guile and Chun-Li, Interpol officers, have taken up the case, believing Bison and his shadow organization, Shadowloo, are the culprits. Along with Cammy and the British Special Forces, they discover that Ryu is the centerpiece of a plan to create a new biological weapon using humans as explosive devices and set out to reach him before the bad guys. 

Seth, evil corporate mastermind, has been kidnapping and experimenting on fighters because they are masters of Ki, yet Ryu is his Holy Grail as he believes his experiment/weapon cannot be complete without the dark power he keeps inside.

  Mmmm, sweet delicious evil...

All roads leads to Ryu, who has been wandering the globe, fighting off the Dark Ki and searching for his life's purpose. He eventually comes across C.Viper, who has been assigned to track him down and she baits him into using the Dark Ki by kicking the shit out of Cammy. She quickly splits when she realizes she's about to die, leaving Ken and Sakura to clean up the mess. The final battle takes place aboard a yacht, with Ryu taking on Seth while attempting to keep his Dark Ki in check. 

Hulking out

Street Fighter IV is a quick and dirty, action filled movie. It had been a while since the last street fighter film and while I don't love it, I did enjoy it. My only real gripe is that for a movie with the characters from SSF IV, the only new character was C.Viper. That was kinda weak. But it really was a quick film, no cliffhangers or bullshit.

Violence? Yes
Explosions? No
Nudity? No
