Street Fighter Legacy

Street Fighter is one of the most popular, enduring action video game series the world has ever known. Whether it played the centrepiece of entertainment on the Sega Megadrive in the early 1990s or recently recaptured the imagination of fans on the Xbox360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, almost everyone of a certain generation battled their friends on Street Fighter. Pushing aside earlier live action adaptations that never lived up to expectation, it begs the question why a well-crafted Street Fighter movie was never produced.

That question has only recently been answered and, after many years of playing the game and becoming increasingly tired by the lack of care and authenticity reflected in live-action projects, the challenge was taken up by British action star and martial artist, Joey Ansah ( www.joeyansah.com/street-fighter-legacy ). With credits that includes Batman Begins, 12(Twelve) and most famously, The Bourne Ultimatum, combined with his lifelong love of the Street Fighter franchise, Joey was more than qualified to take on the project, also marking his directorial debut. The result is Street Fighter Legacy, a short pilot which stunned the online community with the force of a Hadouken energy ball. Already building a huge fanbase with well over 2 million views and growing, the world has finally seen what's possible when filmmakers remain faithful to the source. Remember, you can still search 'Street Fighter Legacy' on YouTube to catch the action for yourself. See you in the Arena!
