Somehow never saw/heard about this before, but it's some old Korean live-action Street Fighter II...thing. Some of the actors are a hit (Zangief!), some a miss (Balrog?), while others, like Blanka, are simply FANTASTIC. Oh, and no. You can not have that eight minutes back.

Argh what's with the sound at the beginning...
It's still there in the background now, a bit less excessive...my poor ears!
i never saw that when i grew up in korea. i think they realized how embarrassing it was so they pulled it off the market. haha
this. is. absobloodylutely. fantastic!
:D
Still looks leaps and bounds better then the Van Dame movie.
Zangief..wow.Truly amazing
I actually watched the old JC Van Damme film a few days ago,the Zangief from it was actually pretty cool
sorry, doesn't beat jackie chan as chun li!

Nurse, we need a new episode of The Later Years STAT!
I prefer this Street Fighter video: [www.youtube.com]
Still managest to be better than Van Damme's version.
Balrog looks like an Asian Uwe Boll.
@fdisk: beat me to it. It's still actually better.
@IronsUK: Wow that's awesome. Thanks
Well....
Bison = Binson
Dhalsim= Daliasim
Ryu= Liu
Guile= Gyurri
Sagat= Ssangat
Gave me lots of laugh
Anyone get the impression that the over-long titles are to establish who the characters are supposed to be?
Wow. Just... wow.
I think what a lot of you nay-sayers fail to realize is that once you achieve a sincere mastery of martial arts, there is little else to strive for in life beyond hanging out in a desolate mountain range and practising "win pose" for hours on end. In your cosplay outfit.
Where is Santo? This needs Santo!
Haha, this is great! Check out the live-action Korean version of "Fist of the North Star" for more of this kind of stuff.

That Balrog looks an awful lot like Mister Boll in his early career.
Hard to tell which career would have suited him better
Oh god, thats the second time Ive seen this vid...
*curls up into a fetal position*
When you said Zangief was a hit, I thought you mean he looked spot on.
Imagine my surprise when I see a man in a red speedo cut, not like a statue on steroids, but like Jello. Really didn't need to see that. Steroid Speedo Statue would have been bad enough, but Pudgy Speedo Jello?
I can't stop laughing :D
and is it me or does the face paint on the guy that plays Ehonda remind some of the shibito from Siren.
@bodger1:
You made my morning a little brighter. Thankyou :)
Oh man, whats with that opening theme music? SO horribile!
Zangief sucked hard too.
Balrog looks like an old balding shop owner who decided to do some boxing.
Chun Li was hawt though.
bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha... ... ...
Thank you Kotaku. Thank you for this precious gem of comedy gold. I can die a happy man.
Didn't Kotaku post this already months ago?!?! Call me crazy but I'm sure you did :)
Yeah, if I'm not mistaken this was posted a long time ago. Not that I have a problem watching it again (for some odd reason). However, it has made me late for work.
I'm always suprised by Ryu's tripple backflip.
Dude, Ryu totally did a triple-backflip completely suspended in the same place in air.
If that's not badass, I don't know what is.
Someone beat the casting director.

Seriously... That was... Wow.
I've seen this before and I could swear it was on Kotaku.
The intro is hilarious ^o^
