It really is so good.
My copy should arrive in the mail today. Can't wait to give it a rewatch.

The Fatal Fury Movie Blu-ray is in the works based on the clean HD remaster that DVD was made from. Stay tuned for more on that one, but the plan is it'll have all the special features the DVD has.
it actually doesnt.

Not only will I buy this day negative 10, this might drive me to get a blu-ray drive for my Pc for the best possible image quality. FF the Motion Picture is one of my favorite movies of all time and my favorite anime movie of all time.
This may have been mentioned but I can't spot it, is the new blu-ray release region free?
Edit: Damnit, there it was on the last page.

Do you like watching movies exactly as the director intended, or are you a 90s kid who remembers bands like Alice in Chains and wants to see Bryan Cranston in the role of Fei Long?
There's no right answer with this one. They're very different movies in terms of tone, but most of us baka gaijin grew up with the dubbed version, and that's the one that's attained cult status in the West.
BRYAN CRANSTON AS FEI LONG.
"Wooo! Wooo! WOOOOO!"
There absolutely is a correct answer to this one!
Amazing. Glad we agree on something. It's a shame we can't get this blu-ray release in the UK otherwise I would have picked it up.
Funny enough, my old DVD copy is the UK version, because it was the most "uncut" version that existed for awhile, and my Xbox 360 had no problems playing it.
I felt the exact same way the first (and only) time I saw it. Normally I prefer Japanese dubs.
I don't know if this has been brought up before, but she was initially supposed to throw a Kikoken at Vega instead in this scene (There's still early footage using this idea) but it was taken out because they wanted to make most of the fights fair, so no characters using fireballs against characters that can't do them etc.

is that true? cuz at this point of the games, bison had no fireball and he gets double-teamed by 2 plamsa chuckers, lol

I guess that doesn't count because he's the final boss, etc.
Chun-Li's Street Fighter 2 Movie Kikoken
Edit: Didn't see the above post
Plus Bison has no problems dodging Guile's boom and one shotting Ken by reflecting his fireball right back at him.
Ordered. GET HYPE!!!
...do Fatal Fury The Motion Picture next please
I'm actually working on that as we speak.
There won't be as much extras for it though, but a couple cool things.
The couch toss was more badass and iconic in retrospect.
That was so awesome.

For years I would randomly get this stuck in my head and wonder what it was from, I got a big smile on my face when i was watching my brand new blu-ray and heard it., it's a great release and I'm thrilled I purchased the movie. I have my 13-15 year old cousins staying over this weekend, they are just getting into fighting games so i figure I'll bust this out. Not sure how much Chun-Li butt I should allow.

I wish the couch toss was in a video game. It wouldn't have been out of place in the Alpha series.

Would be more acceptable than Gem Fighter (Pocket Fighter) or Marvel/Tasunoko, IMO. Alpha had that anime style but it was pretty serious when it came to Chun-Li. Chun even points a gun at M. Bison in one of the intros.
All the butt. Remember being 13? I do. Life was tough, and butts made me happy. Totally with you on this piece of music, too. I miss the incidental soundtrack so much more than the various alt rock songs on the OST when watching the Japanese version.

If anyone's asking what version they should watch first, you absolutely can't go wrong with the US Unrated English dub.
It's kinda dated, but that's what makes it so amazing.
This movie made me like E. Honda
Dude, are you just fishing for a tag or what? lol

Umm it shows the release date as Oct. 25th hence why I see it as the new release. Mind you Amazon may not have updated the cover on their site >_>;

That Akuma wasn't in the final cut is the only thing I didn't like about the film. But when I really think about it, I'm not sure how much of a role he could've played if they weren't planning on making a sequel or something.
:O !!!!
It's confusing as hell, I kept almost buying the UK import one before this finally released. But that's the right one - you can tell because it says Eastern Star in the details. The new release is Eastern Star/Discotek.
And for anyone still in doubt, here's the movie on Discotek's website complete with the Amazon link.
Technically, he is in the final cut! I thought having him as an Easter Egg in the background was one of the smartest choices in the movie. Very clever way to include a secret character.
Hold it!
While I agree that the Street Fighter II animated movie does indeed have a quite awesome transition from game to movie, it is not the only Capcom game to be considered. Another game received a quite faithful, and live action to boot, adaptation. And no, I'm not thinking about Resident Evil.
It is, of course, Gyakuten Saiban, or as we know it... Ace Attorney!
This movie should not work as well as it does, and while it skips over a few of the cases, it is a surprisingly faithful adaptation of the first Ace Attorney game. Complete with posing, throwing evidence at each other, yelling, and cross-examining parrots. Yes, the parrot scene is in. Turning the Court Record into holograms that the lawyers can throw at each other was a fairly clever way of making the "taking damage from an argument" thing work in a movie. Also look at those outfits. And hairstyles.
This movie is just fun.

Yeah, that's probably one the best sequences in a animated game adaption. That movie in-general is pretty damn cool, I really like it. But my personal favorite seen would be this sequence from the Sonic OVA.
Seeing Sonic and Tails run through that shit was just wild to me as kid. Was basically a fucking Zone straight out of the games.

Right here: Street Fighter II the Animated Movie [Blu-ray] [Import]
That's the new release from Eastern Star/Discotek, imported from the US. You might want to double-check the price on Amazon.com, too. I ended up getting it cheaper from there (including shipping and import fees) before Amazon.ca got the movie in stock. I imagine they'll shake out to be the same price now, but worth a look.
Cool, Thanks man

Apologies for the bump. Just wanted to say I imported the blu ray and got it to work on my pc with a freeware piece of software called DVDfab, lets you play from any region. Playback is choppy with MPC but it's fine in VLC. I went ahead and got it since it's unlikely you'll see a re-relase for this in Euro land.
