Official Rating M ClearAge 13+

Why our age differs

Official is M. We say 13+ because the fights and gun battles are constant but cartoony, with little blood and no strong language

Our take

Street Fighter turns its game characters into a loud, cartoonish action film. Gunfights, explosions and martial arts brawls keep coming, though there is little blood. A hostage plot and a captive turned into a monster may trouble younger kids. We would start around 13.

Uplifting themes

Teamwork and standing up to a bully run through the plot. A band of fighters sets aside their differences to rescue people who cannot protect themselves Guile and the fighters risk themselves to protect others. They swagger and bicker, but they stand together when it counts and pick the right side

Story (may spoil tone)

Colonel Guile and various other martial arts heroes fight against the tyranny of dictator M. Bison and his cohorts.

Gun battles, martial-arts brawls, and explosions fill the film. Soldiers and fighters are knocked around, and a hostage plot keeps the stakes up. The comic-book camp keeps pain from lingering

A few insults such as the b-word and cruder jabs are shouted by soldiers and the villain, along with hell and crap. Nothing stronger comes through

A short romantic scene and some flirting between a few characters. Nothing sexual is shown, and the romance is quick and old-fashioned compared with the fighting

A scary villain, a captive turned into a monster, and loud explosions bring some tension. Younger kids may find the experiments creepy, though the camp tone keeps it light

Some blood on faces and a few fallen soldiers. Guns and explosions cause a lot of harm but with little detail, so injuries are brief and cartoonish

Martial-arts kicks, stunt moves, and weapon play may tempt kids to try them out on friends. The fights are not realistic but still invite imitation in the yard

Talk after watching

  • The film is based on a video game. What changes when the fights happen in real life instead of on a game screen?
  • Bison is an over-the-top villain. How can you tell when a villain is meant to be silly and when one is meant to be scary?
