Street Fighter movie is 'made by fans for fans' - but can it KO the critics?
Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji play Ken Masters and Ryu in Street Fighter
Video game fans have been treated to a two-hit combo of big screen adaptations recently.
First came Resident Evil, director Zach Cregger's movie version of the long-running horror game series.
The next contender is Street Fighter, the arcade classic fighting game that's been separating fans from their loose change since 1987.
Both have been turned into disappointing live-action films before.
But Cregger's attempt at Resident Evil, which impressed both critics and fans, seemed to break the curse.
BBC Newsbeat spoke to Street Fighter cast members Noah Centineo, Callina Liang and Andrew Koji to find out why they think the action movie can do the same.
The film, directed by Kitao Sakurai, follows Ken Masters, played by Centineo, and Ryu, played by Koji.
The two characters - long-standing icons of the games - are martial artists who trained under the same teacher before their relationship went sour.
Chun-Li, played by Liang, recruits the pair to compete with other elite fighters in the World Warrior tournament, organised by crime boss M. Bison.
