Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie - Caravan Of Garbage
Summary
Hosts Mason and Ben review the 1994 animated film Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, contrasting it with the live-action G.I. Joe-style original. They discuss its surprisingly high production quality, aided by K-1 choreography and rotoscoping, and highlight the infamous Chun-Li versus Vega fight. The episode also covers behind-the-scenes trivia, including Bryan Cranston’s uncredited voice work and the film’s $29 million box office success, before teasing next week’s look at Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.
