Hard Times

Visible crew/equipment: In the fight with Street, Chaney gets knocked down by a double axhandle to the back. When he gets up in close-up to tackle Street, a shadow cast on the wall (probably camera equipment) moves independently of him and does not appear in the other shots. (01:25:25)

Character mistake: In the first fight, there's a reaction shot where Speed shouts jubilant "Yes, yes!" when his own fighter misses with his attack and doubles over hit by a painful kick in the gut. That's a mighty weird thing to cheer on. (00:07:00)

Speed: Well, you know Chick, like old momma said, next best thing to playing and winning is playing and losing.

Trivia: By open admission of one of the original artwork designer Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, the movie (known in Japan as "The Street Fighter") inspired at least 2 of the most iconic backgrounds of the game Street Fighter 2: it is really obvious when you watch the fight between Jim Henry and "the kid", on the docks with a boat in the background much like in Ken 's stage. The cage fight against Henry inspired also Zangief's stage. (00:19:30 - 00:47:50)
