Originally launched in 1987, Street Fighter became a global sensation with its intense one-on-one martial arts battles led by the villainous M. Bison under the guise of a worldwide fighting tournament. Since its inception, the franchise has sold over 55 million units worldwide.
The first film adaptation released in 1994 starred Jean-Claude Van Damme as Guile and Raúl Juliá—his final film appearance—as M. Bison. While critics panned the film, it achieved moderate box office success, earning $99 million.
