With the out pour of love from fans and critics for Super Street Fighter IV, it’s no wonder a few devoted fans have turned themselves into filmmakers, creating short films of the franchise’s most notorious characters in battle. What is surprising however, is the quality far surpasses anything we’ve seen on the silver screen.
The latest video to show off a live action version of Capcom’s fighting sensation is titled “Street Fighter: Beginning Ends.” Aside from that pretty atrocious Ken wig, which comes equipped with a questionable pony tail, the fight sequences are brilliantly captured. Even the editing effects are very well executed.
Just a few short days ago, a video circulated showing a teaser trailer for a new Street Fighter mini-movie, created by actor and series fan Joey Ansah (Bourne Ultimatum). His vision, called Street Fighter: Legacy, will be seen when the film releases online this Thursday. In fact, Capcom has even given their seal of approval, and is promoting Ansah’s film. Check out the trailer after the break.
Pretty great to see fans stepping up to create their own works of art. It’s great to live in a time where if the film industry disappoints us, we can show them how it’s done.
