Subject: [streetfighter] Recommended Viewing

Does anyone have a list of recommended movies in (or near) the street 
fighter genere?

My list is fairly limited so far

Recommended Viewing
-------------------
Anime:
Street Fighter the Animated Movie (duh!)
Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf
Fatal Fury 2
Fatal Fury the Motion Picture
Battle Arena Toshinden (sp?)
The Art of Fighting

Non-anime:
Street Fighter (ok...not HIGHLY recommended :p)
Almost anything in the Kung Fu Action Theatre Genere
Exampl of KFATG: Super Dragons (bad dubbing, worse music...but fairly good 
fighting. Example of a move I got from that movie below ;)

Can anyone add to the list actual movie titles?



"That maneuver I mentioned"
Shining Fist
Prerequisites: Punch 5, Athletics 2, Rekka Ken, Hundred Hand Slap/Strike
Power Points: Kung Fu 5, etc...
   The Shining Fist takes its roots from a rare denomination of Kung Fu that 
was believed to have died out centuries ago. The Shining Fist is all that 
remains.
   The Shining Fist is named for the blurring effect that the fighter's fist 
makes in the airas he delivers the deadly and complicated, repeating oval 
style strike with his right hand. Mean while the righter's left hand makes a 
similar, smaller oval pass in a bycicle petal routine to help keep a rythem.
   The fighter then advances on his opponent at a steady pace and gradually 
builds additional momentium in his fists while at the same time repeatedly 
pounding his opponent with his right fist.
   System: The fighter starts with the modifers below, and deals one damage 
test per round of combat. If a damage test deals at least one point of 
damage the opponent is considered to have been 'staggered,' and although he 
may still attack if he has not yet done so he is considered to have had his 
next 'move' reduced to zero. A 'staggered' opponent is also knocked back a 
hex.
   The speed and damage modifers of the Shining Fist increase by one for 
every round the shining fist is used with no upper limit. The modifers drop 
to their default values if the shining fist ever ends, or if the opponent is 
changed (even if the new opponent is in the same hex as the old target.)
   The speeds and repitition of the Shining Fist make it a hard maneuver to 
stop. If a damage test ever fails, the fighter loses 2 points of temp glory 
because of how stupid he looks whindmilling his arms in front of him for a 
few seconds after his opponent has side stepped, been missed, etc...
   The willpower cost of the Shining Fist is only paid once at the beginning 
of the maneuver.
                 Cost: 2 Willpower
                 Speed: +0
                 Damage: -1
                 Move: One

I would also add the "Black Mask" with Jet Li. The martial arts are truly

* The Last Dragon
 I like this movie, because they glow in the end. I know, I know, it seems
like a strange reason, but sometimes (most of the time?) I'm not entirely
rational. Strangest thing is, Our Hero in this movie _is_ a martial
artist. A Judoka. And he kicks with the best of them :)

This might be something similar to Koppojutsu - or "The Art of Breaking
Bones". The -ken suffix usually means something to do with swords, so it
might be something like "Sword That Breaks Bones", or something. My best
bet, at least.

Their agents must have goofed.  Raul did the Addams family movie, so obviously HE doesn't have very high standards.  And Van Damme's career has been going steadily downhill since it began... Maybe Ming read the script and said, "Wow, a chance to play a strong independent woman."  As for Kylie Minogue... maybe nobody else auditioned!!!

Angelfire for your free web-based e-mail. http://www.angelfire.com

"Yikes... tooth-imprints on my ass!  Okay, I don't even own the book that Breakfall's in..."

no wonder there's such confusion, then.  Breakfall's printed description doesn't say it only works against throws...  it says it works against any maneuver that causes you damage when you hit the ground.  That's why I've been so adamant about my interpretation.

"I read the rest of your arguments, and for the most part I agree.  Your VF2 example left me scratching my head (who's Judoka?) "

It's a Japanese term that describes a practitioner of Judo

"Really?... there don't appear to be any Honor/Glory penalties for being invulnerable... "

people attend a Street Fight to see action.  If a fighter manages to win his battle simply by Blocking and Dodging the entire fight, people would leave saying, "Man that sucked, he didn't even attack."  Glory is all about perception.

"(PS: groundfighting) "

I'll have to agree here. 
Julia was good in Addam's Familiy (even though the movie sucked) but I
don't think anyone did a great job in the Street Fighter movie. Video Game
movies in general haven't had a great past. 

Double Dragon, Super Mario Bros, Wing Commander -- all cheese. 

I hope the Final Fantasy Movie is different. 

P.S. Yes, after a six month absence, I'm back in the list. Being finally
in possesion of all the SF:STG sourcebooks, and a few interested players
I'm back in the game. :)

Cheers.

While the former two I'm pretty ambivilant toward (not the bottom of today's
movie barrel, but not far from it), Wing Commander sucked to those that
played the game for a reason.

The game was as much 'interactive movie' as it was a space flight sim.

Mark Hamill starred as 'Maverick' Blair, Malcolm McDowell was Tolwyn, as
well as a half dozen other big-name actors (who actually played the parts
well, many of whom reprised their roles for the cartoon that was shown on
USA Network for a while).

The games' FMV (which was movie length including alternate paths) looked
more like a real movie than the movie did.

(Which basically means that fans of the game got spoiled on the 3rd and 4th
installments, and hence why that movie was a let-down.)
