    The OG Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter movies are dope. I don’t care what anyone else says.

      M. Bison’s famous “It was Tuesday” line in Street Fighter (1994) is frequently misread by viewers as a statement of apathy. Instead, he is telling Chun Li that the day her father died was so important to him that he can instantly recall what day of the week it happened on.

      The first MK movie was the archetypal “It’s good… for a video game adaptation” movie for a long time. Luckily now we have great adaptations (not necessarily movies though) to point to that stand on their own merits.

      But yeah, there’s always a part of me that will have fond memories of MK and the JCVD Street Fighter movie. Hell, add Double Dragon to that list.

        I gotta watch it…I just remember panicked guys shoving trash into a van to fuel it during a car chase or something. It looked radical lmao.
