Saw an ad for this in the latest issue of "Play" as well. It's about time they gave the movie a re-release. This is, like, the first time an uncut version with the Japanese voice track has been released on this side of the coast. I think that in itself deems DVD worthy of purchase.

Oh and regarding the comic (supposedly, prequel to the movie itself), it looks like it's going to be penned by UDON (who's been doing the SF comic series). So that should be a quality comic.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That and the Japanese dub track. Which came with a catchy theme song (Ryoko Shinohara's, with T.Komuro "Itoshisato Setsunasato Kokoro Tsuyosato").

Speaking of that song, does anyone know if they actually kept the intrumental version in the Alpha Anthology. I remember reading in the Eternal Challenge book that in Alpha/Zero for the dramatic fight against Bison with Ryu and Ken, an instrumental version of the movie's theme song is played.

How ya doing, buddy?

Picked this up on Tuesday as well. Haven't exactly given it a full viewing, but parts of it on the Japanese voice track. The subtitles are pretty good from the small bits I watched, with translations of the J-pop songs used in various scenes in the movie (pretty cool). Heh, and yes the full Chun-Li shower scene is intact. But if I remembered correctly, it was slighting edited in the english dub, I think the shot of rear was cut.

Kinda wish they made it 2 seperate discs instead of dual sided disc, as it'll be hard to keep both sides clean.

For bonuses, there's nothing special. The overhyped comic that came with the movie wasn't really anything special, just a little intro to Chun-Li encountering Bison's Cyborgs. But it's a nice little addition for fans of the comic series by Udon. Though, it ended up being a lot smaller than I expected.

BTW, has anyone actually seen the supposed sequel to the movie? Got the info from another forum, supposedly it's 30 minutes long. Anyway here's the item I'm talking, it's a boxset that comes with the "sequel" and an 8 issue manga/comic from 10 years ago. Title is "Street Fighter II RYU vs Yomigaeru Fujiwara-Kyo" (ストリートファイターII－RYU VS. よみがえる藤原京), which I think transalted Ryu vs revived Fujiwara capital.

Found this on another message board:

And for Sunday's viewing:

I was thrilled to discover that the Street Fighter II Ryu manga & DVD boxed set includes a 23 minute long Street Fighter II anime episode called "Street Fighter II Yomigaeru Fujiwara-kyo." It was neat to see, but kind of disapointing because in it Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and E. Honda get teleported back in time to ancient China, then teleported back to modern day, and that's it. No fighting or action of any kind.

Though I'd still want to watch, for being a completist, it apparently doesn't follow the movie at all.

Ah, thanks for the info and clearing it up. Thought it was weird that a sequel existed and I didn't hear of it till now. Heh, and yea I'm actually interested in seeing this as well. Even if it doesn't have any fighting/action, as I'm sure there'll be some comedy elements to it.
