Future Cops (1993)

The second live-action parody of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (after City Hunter) features characters such as Lung (Ryu), Broomhead (Guile), Thai King (Sagat) and Chun-may (Chun-Li).

There are no counterparts for Zangief or Balrog, and because it was released a few months before The New Challengers, forget about Cammy, Fei Long, Dee Jay and T. Hawk.

This may have been inspired by the special ending in the 1992 SNES port.


Despite a few enforced changes, the final shot of Street Fighter (1994) gave shit an admirable stab.
