10 Best Short Films Based On Video Games

10. Street Fighter: Legacy (2010)

The shortest film on this list at only 3 minutes and 11 seconds, Street Fighter: Legacy is a stunningly choreographed short that hits all of the highs of a bout in the fighting game franchise. Featuring franchise stars Ryu and Ken (with a small cameo from Akuma at the beginning), the film is simple but thoroughly entertaining throughout.

Though light in actual plot, Legacy innovates by rivalling modern martial arts films like Ip Man, whilst still making references to the 2d game camera of the original series - sort of like the Doom movie tried to do with its FPS sequences, but far better. All this, and surprisingly impressive CGI for a 2010 YouTube fan film - I mean just look at the Shoryuken that Ken pulls off - makes for an extremely worthwhile watch, and one that won't take up much of your time.

There's just one thing that it's missing: Raul Julia truly hamming it up as M. Bison.
