Continuity mistake: In the scene where Dhalsim changes the programming, all the computer shots of Blanka show him with normal skin, despite that it's turned green.
Street Fighter (1994)
Directed by: Steven E. de Souza
Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Raul Julia, Ming-Na Wen, Damian Chapa, Kylie Minogue
Continuity mistake: When Vega ambushes Ryu in the locker rooms, he just puts his mask in front of his face. Ryu kicks him right afterwards, and the mask rests solidly on Vega's head.
Character mistake: When Guile promises to rescue the hostages while on camera with Bison, he makes it a point to mention Charlie by name to reassure him that he wasn't forgotten. Anyone in charge of a major hostage recovery operation would avoid naming a specific hostage unknown to the enemy due to the special focus that the enemy may put on that hostage for further abuse. This was promptly proven when Bison specifically chose Charlie to transform into a beast due to Guile identifying him as a personal friend.
Trivia: Here's a brief list of the moves from the game that made it into the film: Ryu threw a fireball at Vega. Ryu does a hurricane kick against Vega. Vega did his rolling attack against Ryu. Ken does the standing uppercut against Sagat. E. Honda does the hand slaps against Zangief. Balrog does the wind-up punch against a Bison Trooper. Guile did two Flash Kicks against Bison. Cammy did a thrust kick against a Bison Trooper. Chun Li does the spinning bird kick against Bison.
Trivia: Raul Julia agreed to make the film because his kids were fans of the arcade game.
Trivia: The paintings in Bison's room are references to Napoleon Bonaparte and the serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
Bison: Dee Jay, has the AN deposited the twenty million in my Swiss bank?
[Dee Jay checks and finds the account empty.]
Dee Jay: Hell no, General.
Honda: I'm sumo, brother. My body could be in one place, my mind another.
Balrog: Next time your mind leaves, tell it to bring back a pizza.
Question: In the credits, T. Hawk is listed, I didn't see him anywhere, who is he?
Question: How come Doctor Dhalism turns bald at the end?
Answer: In his fight with the guard, Dhalsim gets knocked into some chemicals. This presumably changed him. This is also likely the explanation if he had to do any signature moves from the games, which thankfully, he doesn't.
Question: Is Fei-Long in this movie? He is the only character from the game I have not been able to ID in the movie. And if so, where is he? He's my favorite character from the game and I was disappointed to not see him.
Chosen answer: Fei Long was originally intended to be in the film, but was replaced by the character Captain Sawada.

Answer: When Guile storms Shadaloo headquarters with the stealth boat, he is accompanied by Cammy and a hugely modified (in terms of character) T-Hawk. At one point Guile asks about T-Hawk's headband. Being an aid to Guile, T-Hawk is in other scenes, but these are the most obvious.
