10 Terrible Movies With One Redeeming Feature

9. Raul Julia - Street Fighter

Star Wars Duel Of The Fates
Universal Pictures

Hollywood still keeps making feature adaptations of video games despite the fact that there has never, ever been one even halfway approaching greatness, despite the fact that the industry has been trying for almost a quarter of a century. What's the definition of insanity again?

Pretty much awful from start to finish, Street Fighter has been frequently named as one of the worst video game movies ever made, an impressive (if unwanted) feat for a movie that was released all the way back in 1994. However, it does have one major positive; the scenery-chewing campness of Raul Julia's Bison.

In what turned out to be his final big-screen appearance before his death in 1994, Julia is the only memorable part of Street Fighter as he decides to play the villain as a wild caricature. Seemingly realizing that he was part of something terrible, the actor dials his performance up to way past eleven and steals the entire movie as a result.

Julia's wild overacting while performing poorly-written monologues is nothing short of brilliant, with the highlight being the now-iconic 'For me, it was Tuesday' line.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
