Street Fighter: Legacy (2010 Video) User Reviews

Solid little Street Fighter film

[Horst_In_Translation · 6/10 · 6 October 2016]

"Street Fighter: Legacy" is a 3-minute live action short film that features Ryu and Ken, two of the most known characters from the Street Fighter video game franchise. Writer and director is actor Tony Ansah and this is not his only project on Street Fighter. Christian Howard, the actor who plays Ken, returned for "Assassin's Fist", but Jon Foo (Ryu) was replaced by another actor in that project. But back to this one here. The first 60 seconds are a bit of an introduction while everything afterward is fight sequences and they feature some of the trademark moves of the characters, like Ryu's blue ball made out of energy or Ken's flame fist attack. It's a solid watch for Street Fighter fans, but it's nothing that will get you interested in the franchise/games if you did not care before already. I still give it a thumbs-up. At this runtime, you probably won't be disappointed. It's really decent for a film under 200 seconds, even if it obviously lacks in the story department and character development.

A short film that does what the past full lengths couldn't......

... and that's capture the spirit and style of STREET FIGHTER. The fighting stances, special moves, attention to detail on the costumes: Ryu's is weather beaten because he lives in that. They even had the signature bushy eyebrows illustrated by the game/animation artists. the synopsis shows us the rivalry respect that Ken and Ryu have for one another, which is a staple in the SF storyline. It even includes a cameo of Akuma(Gouki in Japan) via nightmare by Ryu. Only complaint that it's not feature length. If director Joey Ansah can get on ball with Capcom, we may finally have a SF movie done justice. If he ever film another SF, I hope it exceeds the quality of Legacy

Directors of this genre should watch & learn how to make MOVIE!

Started with a flashy nightmare of Akuma. Then Ryu starts the journey. Meets Ken & had a fight. That's all! But...what a RUSH!!! Real action! Real fighting styles! (even the standing styles/positions are the same). The powers/moves looks so real (like games) & it's not animated looking. Totally for the die-hard fans. Jaw dropping, eye catching, flawless, heart pounding, goosebumps, breath-stopping...maybe sounds funny...but THIS IS REALLY WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING TO SEE!!! Please make this movie full length. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER THAN SOME RECENT 'C' GRADE MOVIES...like:

Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li The King Of Fighters Dragon Ball Z Mortal Kombat 1+2 (not the Mortal Kombat:Rebirth...that's another u shud see) Tekken

Hope to see this movie comes to big screen...WB/Lionsgate kindda big distributors will contact the writer/director/producers soon...

Take care bLoOD
