Street Fighter (Pop Screen 175) Kylie Minogue - Is it time to reassess the '90s Street Fighter movie?

Is it time to reassess the '90s Street Fighter movie?

That's right, Pop Screen is entering the arena of public opinion and fighting for the death this week as we attempt to persuade you that Steven S. DeSouza's 1994 Street Fighter adaptation is both an intentional comedy and a good one at that. That doesn't mean everyone is in on the joke - but some of the people who aren't are the ones that justify us doing an episode on this in the first place, so thanks Kylie!

Join Graham and Simon as they discuss the film's justly legendary Raul Julia performance, DeSouza's place in the '80s action screenwriter hierarchy, and the singers and rappers who star in the upcoming remake. We also accuse a major contemporary artist of plagiarising this very movie - tune in to find out who we slander! - and talk about our video game nostalgia. Press X to continue.
