The movie’s plot is far too convoluted for its own good. De Souza stated at the time that he didn’t want to make a generic martial arts movie, but in hindsight, that would have been far better than what we ended up with.
The story of the Street Fighter movie is that Colonel Guile ( Jean-Claude Van Damme) of the Allied Nations is fighting to stop evil warlord M. Bison (Raul Julia) from conquering the world.
Within that framework, we have several subplots, including Ryu and Ken as wise-cracking weapons dealers, Guile’s friend Charlie being turned into a big green monster, investigative reporter Chun Li covering Guile’s war against Bison, and more.
Reportedly, a lot of this was at Capcom’s insistence. According to De Suza, the company would frequently ask him to include more and more characters until there was barely any room for a story.
