Why Street Fighter Movie Goes For “Gonzo” Vibes Instead of Gritty And Grounded
Street Fighter movie director Kitao Sakurai explained his choice to embrace a "gonzo" style of over-the-top action and silliness rather than a gritty, grounded approach. He cited influences from "The Eric Andre Show" and the importance of maintaining an interesting energy throughout the film, even if narrative logic is sometimes sacrificed. The film also features cameo appearances from the original movie directors, the Philippou brothers, as a gesture of goodwill.
