Capcom's legendary fighting game has spawned live-action films and animated features pitting Ryu, Chun-Li, and Guile against M. Bison. Here's how to watch the major Street Fighter movies in order.
Street Fighter is one of the most influential video game franchises ever, and its jump to the screen produced a campy live-action classic, an acclaimed anime feature, and a modern origin story. For fans of the World Warriors, here's how the theatrical adaptations stack up.
π Release Order
Release order tracks the major Street Fighter films from the '90s live-action and anime era to the modern reboot.
- Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994)
- Street Fighter (1994)
- Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)
Each of these films is a separate adaptation with its own continuity, so story order is more about which version you prefer than a connected timeline.
π Story Chronology
The Legend of Chun-Li works as an origin story for its heroine, while the 1994 films are standalone takes on the tournament and Bison's schemes. There's no shared universe linking them.
- Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) β Chun-Li's origin
- Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) β the anime tournament tale
- Street Fighter (1994) β the live-action ensemble film
Which Order Should You Choose?
For the best experience, start with Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, widely considered the finest adaptation. The 1994 live-action film is a beloved so-bad-it's-good watch, while The Legend of Chun-Li is a more grounded origin. Since none of them connect, watch whichever appeals most β but the anime is the highlight.
