Movies like Street Fighter

Fans of high-octane fighting video game adaptations like Street Fighter will likely get a swift kick out of Mortal Kombat. With otherworldly warriors and a high stakes tournament, it's as close as fans can get to a cinematic version of a video game brawl.

Although not directly based on a video game, Bloodsport is a martial arts classic that inspired the Street Fighter series. Viewers will appreciate the intense combat sequences and the underground tournament vibe that's very much in line with Street Fighter's essence.

Another martial arts staple, Kickboxer, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme—who also starred in Street Fighter as Guile—offers a tale of vengeance and brutal fighting that will draw in audiences who enjoy the combative nature of Street Fighter.

While less favorably received than its predecessor, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is a direct spin-off from the Street Fighter universe, focusing on one of its most iconic characters. Fans looking to dive deeper into the lore behind the games will find interest in this character-centric narrative.

Another film based on a popular arcade game, Double Dragon offers a mixture of martial arts and a dystopian future. Viewers who appreciate the duel aspect of good vs. evil in Street Fighter will enjoy the Lee brothers taking on the villainous Koga Shuko.
