Why Can’t A Street Fighter Movie Look Like This?

We went fifteen years between Street Fighter movies, and what do we have at the end of it? Two awful flicks, one so awful it’s great, one so awful it’s just awful. Why can’t we get one that’s just great? Great like these pics from Australian artist Kode Abdo, which show what must surely be…
