That movie wasn't bad at all, that was the best movie based on a fighting game ever
As much as I want to lean toward bias, I have to be honest. Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie is the best one by far, and this is coming from a nice guy who isn't necessarily a fan of the franchise. It stays true to the source material without compromise, and is good enough to be generally accepted as canon.
DOA tries to be entertaining, but the only good I really got out of it in the long run was that Kevin Nash wasn't a terrible Bass Armstrong, Leon played a significantly better role here besides proving to a dead woman he's the strongest man in the world, Christie and Tina had the same first name variants, and Holly Valance can do something other than sing. But there was so much wrong with this movie I don't even know where to start:
1) Hayabusa was womanized. Hayabusa. Was Friggin'. Womanized.
2) The Mugen Tenshin were generally toothless when Kasumi decided to leave the village. Only Ayane seemed to show any kind of resistance.
3) Bayman went the way of Bane in the movie "Batman and Robin". God help you if you still remember how that turned out...
4) Lei Fang, Gen Fu, Hitomi, and Eliot, Brad Wong, and Jann Lee were virtually non-existent pushovers. Interestingly, Kokoro doesn't exist at all.
5) Dennis Rodman did not play Zack.
6) Max.
7) Weatherby.
8) Eric Roberts as Victor Donovan... Really? Really?!?
9) Team Ninja was not closely involved with the project... at all.
10) When the actual fuck did Tina and Helena learn to use swords?
And that's just off the top of my head. I hate to be brutally honest here, but... I want better for my movie adaptations. For a drinking game movie though, it ain't half-bad.
