This week in Your Parents Basement, in honor of the Oscars
we’re watching one of the hammiest video game acting related performances of
all-time! From 1994, it’s Street Fighter:
The Movie, one of the last roles for Raul Julia. (And unfortunately, not
one of the last films Van Damme did.) We also play a tiny bit of Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game, a
truly awful attempt by a Capcom subsidiary to mimic the Mortal Kombat usage of motion capturing.

SHOW NOTES
- According to Price
Charting, the Saturn and Playstation versions of Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game go for a surprising amount of
money! We’re talking $10 to $17.50 for the disc only, around $30 for the box
and manual, and up to $200 for “new” condition copies. This is likely because
it ultimately didn’t sell well.
- Copies of the actual movie, whether on Blu-ray or DVD, go
for around $4. It’s also available for streaming for about $3, per Can I Stream It?
- The movie, although it made about $100 million, was a
famously troubled production because of Raul Julia’s health. For the 20th
anniversary of the film, Polygon’s Chris Plante had
a great longread on it.
- Kylie Minogue is an incredibly famous Australian pop music
artist. Also, thanks to Michel Gondry, she has one of the most awesome music
videos of all-time, “Come
Into My World.” (Pretty much all of Gondry’s music videos are really
interesting.)
