50 God-Tier Acting Moments Buried in Bad Movies

Sadly, Raul Julia died of cancer in 1994 and his last role was in... Street Fighter, the awful adaptation of the video game series of the same name, in which he played the role of General M. Bison, the movie's main antagonist. On paper, this sounds like a terrible end for this talented actor when, in fact, it was ultimately a triumphant final bow.

Julia was dying, but took the role at the behest of his children, who loved the source material, and he really went all-out to give a delightfully campy villainous turn. As such, he's endured as the only well-regarded element of an otherwise critically savaged movie, and most notably of all, he gave us one of the all-time great video game movie moments. 

In this scene, female lead Chun-Li Zang (Ming-Na Wen) confronts Bison for attacking her village and murdering her father, only for it to turn out that Bison doesn't even really remember what she speaks of. He simply replies, in the most brutal of ways, "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday." So damn savage. 

However deservedly panned Street Fighter was, it did at least provide the world with a stirring reminder of Raul Julia's talent one final time before he passed away.
