| 9 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/JeanClaudeVanDamme |
| 10 | Col. William F. Guile is the film's protagonist and the leader of the Allied Nation forces battling General Bison in the country of Shadaloo. After Bison kidnapped 63 hostages including a group of A.N. soldier, one of whom being his friend, Charlie, Guile decided that he was going to take the fight to Bison himself. Guile would defeat Bison in one-one-one combat and[[note]]according to his ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]]spearhead efforts to rebuild Shadaloo City. He would become a world renowned hero and lead similar missions in other international hotspots. |
| 11 | ---- |
| 12 | * AdaptationalJobChange: Guile is an Allied Nations Colonel instead of a Major in the United States Air Force. |
| 13 | * AntiHero: Guile goes against his superior direct orders on an direct assault on Bison's fortress. |
| 14 | * AmazonChaser: When Chun-Li manages to get away after finding out Guile faked his death, he says "what a woman" in response to her being called crazy. |
| 15 | * AscendedGlitch: Guile had a glitch back in ''Street Fighter II'' referred to by fans as the "Handcuff Glitch", which caused an opponent thrown by Guile to be stuck in front of him, tethered to him as if they were handcuffed. In the arcade version of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterTheMovie'' "Handcuffs" are an actual move. |
| 16 | * BicepPolishingGesture: Guile does this to taunt Bison while being interviewed at the beginning of the movie. Given that it's Jean-Claude Van Damme doing it, it's probably the ''[[FlippingTheBird bras d'honneur]]''. |
| 17 | * ChestOfMedals: It isn't surprising to see that he is awarded with Silver Star (US third-highest military decoration for valor in combat) and Legoin of Merit (given for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance). |
| 18 | * ColonelBadass: Guile, though he's almost beaten by Bison's flying tackles and kicks. |
| 19 | * CoolBoat: The experimental AN stealth ship that Guile, Cammy and Hawk use to spearhead the raid on Bison's base at the climax turns invisible, is armored and has a deployable gatling gun. Unfortunately for said boat, Bison's got mines and anti-stealth countermeasures. |
| 20 | * DynamicEntry: Guile uses a tank to crash through the wall, interrupting Ryu and Vega's cage fight. |
| 21 | * FakingTheDead: Guile's death was staged so that Ken and Ryu could [[ShootYourMate gain acceptance]] with Sagat's gang and [[TheMole infiltrate Shadaloo]]. |
| 22 | * GuileHero: Puns aside, a large portion of Guile's plan at the beginning of the movie is to trick Sagat into leading him to Bison by faking his own death and infiltrating spies into his gang. |
| 23 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Guile in the games is American. Guile in the movie is a Belgian-American immigrant? Classic Van Damme at work.[[note]]The closest thing to an American accent Guile could claim could be Cajun, but even that's a stretch.[[/note]] |
| 24 | * RaceLift: Guile changes ethnicity to Belgian-American, largely due to [[Creator/JeanClaudeVanDamme who's playing him]]. |
| 25 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: On the one hand, Guile did take out Bison in the end, but on the other hand, he disobeyed a direct order from his superiors and would very likely be court-martialed for military insurrection. |
| 26 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: In the movie, Guile disobeying his superiors would get him court-martialed in real life. The console game’s bad ending has him arrested and stripped of his rank if he fails to find Bison in time. |
| 27 | * UnexplainedAccent: In the live-action movie, despite supposedly being as red-blooded American as apple pie, he still has Creator/JeanClaudeVanDamme's incredibly thick Belgian accent. |

| 32 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Music/KylieMinogue |
| 33 | Lt. Cammy[[note]]according her Upper Deck trading card and her ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM'' [[/note]]served as a member of the British Secret Service before joining the Allied Nations. Serving as Guile's second in command and intelligence officer. After the defeat of Bison, Cammy returned to the British Secret Service but is lent to the A.N. for some of Guile's international assignments.[[note]]according her ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]] |
| 34 | ---- |
| 35 | * AdaptationalJobChange: Cammy is an Allied Nations Lieutenant instead of an [=MI6=] operative. |
| 36 | * AdaptationalModesty: Cammy doesn't wear the [[LeotardOfPower thong leotard]] her game incarnation does in the film itself. It does return however in both versions of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterTheMovie''. |
| 37 | * AscendedGlitch: Her Choke Whip from the arcade game is a reference to a past glitch in ''' SSFII’’’. |
| 38 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Cammy is not bruised or bleeding at the end of the movie. |
| 39 | * CallingYourAttacks: Cammy calls her Thrust Kick attack when battling some mooks. |
| 40 | * ChestOfMedals: Cammy has a modest strip of ribbons, indicating that she was awarded for campaign service, is a Gulf War veteran and served with UN (AN?) in Cambodia. |
| 41 | * KnowsTheRopes: The Choke Whip arcade special move where she captures the opponent with a short-to-mid-ranged garrotte wire, which she uses to pull them over to her and strangle them. |
| 42 | * NumberTwo: Cammy is Guile's trusted right-hand and military strategist. |
| 43 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: In the arcade version, Cammy can use grenades. |
| 44 | * WrestlerInAllOfUs: Cammy performs ''a victory roll'' on a mook to knock him out. |

| 47 | [[folder: Sawada]] |
| 48 | [[quoteright:196:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sfmsawada.jpg]] |
| 49 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Kenya Sawada |
| 50 | Cpt. Sawada is a member of Guile's Allied Nation military forces. While Guile, Cammy, and T. Hawk covertly headed to Bison's fortress in Guile's stealth boat, Sawada was one of the A.N. leader during a direct assault. After Bison's defeat, Sawada was seen as a symbol of Japan’s Self-Defense force and the toughest soldier Guile has ever served with.[[note]]according to his ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]] |
| 51 | ---- |
| 52 | * AllInTheManual: Sawada's first name, Kenzo, comes from his Upper Deck Trading Card. |
| 53 | * BloodyMurder: His Gokusatsu Jibakujin, a move where he stabs himself and forms an arc of blood to protect him from attack while simultaneously damaging opponents if they get too close. The move gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in his ''SFV'' profile as it [[DontTryThisAtHome tells the readers that they "must not imitate it"]]. |
| 54 | * CanonForeigner: Captain Sawada, who substitutes [[BruceLeeClone Fei Long]] from the games. He only appeared as a playable character in the two games based on the movies. |
| 55 | * CanonImmigrant: Sawada became a canonical character in the franchise, even having his own profiles on the Capcom Fighters Network. |
| 56 | * FingerPokeOfDoom: His Super Combo in the console version, Kamikaze Banzai. He puts his hands in the air and sliding into his opponent. It looks stupid but it's quite damaging; he's invulnerable to projectiles while performing it. |
| 57 | * TheGoodCaptain: His rank in both the first ''Street Fighter'' film and official canon, where his ''SFV'' profile calls him Captain Sawada. |
| 58 | * KatanasAreJustBetter: He actually doesn't use it often, the "sword" people thought he used for the Ki Raisen and Ku Raisen in the arcade version of ''Street Fighter: The Movie'' was just a motion blur. In the console games, he only uses it to initiate the Gokusatsu Jibakujin. In the ''Street Fighter'' cartoon, however, he practically goes nuts with it in his second appearance. |
| 59 | * LethalJokeCharacter: While his special moves in the arcade version were practical and effective, in the home version new moves were created out of the old ones or created from scratch but had a more...unique take on them. The Hyakuretu Izungiri looked cool but had Gadoken level priority, see BloodyMurder for the Gokusatsu Jibakujin, Sawada Special '95 was an amazing combo kick attack that's been instantly dated by the year the console game came out, Ninpo Kamikakushi uses a stance that may poke fun at the "win taunt" Sawada used in the ending movie, and the Kamikaze Banzai, while a powerful 5-Hit combo super move that can snuff out projectiles, also has him do a standing slide into his opponents while his arms are raised above his head. |
| 60 | * OutOfFocus: Captain Sawada has comparatively little screen time to the rest of the cast. |
| 61 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: Sawada’s Upper Deck trading card for the movie gives him the first name Kenzo. |
| 62 | * RapidFirefisticuffs: His Hyakuretsu Izungiri, which is a ki-based rapid chop attack that surrounds his hand with blue and red energy with a similar appearance to the Sonic Boom. |
| 63 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Captain Sawada serves as a substitute for Fei Long, who is the only character from the series at the time who doesn't appear in the film. Capcom actually wanted Kenya Sawada to play Ryu, but his English skills weren't strong enough for the role, so the Captain Sawada character was created as a compromise. |
| 64 | * TeleportSpam: Ninpo Kamikakushi, which works the same way as Dhalsim's Yoga Teleport. |

| 71 | ---- |
| 72 | * AdaptationalJobChange: T. Hawk is an Allied Nations Sergeant and prison warden. |
| 73 | * AdaptationalNationality: If T. Hawk's shoulder patch is to be believed, he's changed from Mexican to American. It's been stated that his tribal affiliation in the film is Cherokee (actor Gregg Rainwater's real-life ethnicity), whereas in the games he's a member of the fictional Thunderfoot tribe near Monte Albán. |

| 80 | Chun-Li Zang is a field reporter Global Network Television. Expertly trained in martial arts and espionage, she sought revenge on General Bison for killing her father. Once the mad dictator was killed, Chun-Li stayed on with GNT as an international correspondent and became one of the most trusted reporters in the world.[[note]]according her ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]] |
| 81 | ---- |
| 82 | * AdaptationalJobChange: Chun-Li was changed from Interpol agent to news reporter (although it's likely the reporter job is a front, given the spy skills she demonstrates). |
| 83 | * AdaptationalWimp: Subverted, [[FauxActionGirl she wanted Bison to think this]]. |
| 84 | * BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Chun-Li is not be bruised or bleeding at the end of the movie. |
| 85 | * CreateYourOwnHero: Chun-Li's father led an uprising against Bison, who had him killed, and it drove her to avenge him. |
| 86 | * HandyCuffs: Chun-Li has her hands bound in front of her. It takes her about two seconds to snap the leather, leaving her with [[MythologyGag spiked wrist guards]] and Bison's ass to kick. |
| 87 | * ImprovisedWeapon: The arcade game is the only time where Chun-Li throws her spiked bracelets. |
| 88 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: Chun-Li gets the surname, Zang, in this movie. |
| 89 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: A variant with Chun-Li. She never goes anywhere without her two burly bodyguards, Balrog and E. Honda, leaving Bison to think that she's defenseless without them: |
| 90 | -->'''Chun-Li:''' That's exactly... what I ''wanted you to think.'' |
| 91 | * YouKilledMyFather: Like in the games, Bison killed Chun-Li’s father. Here, Bison has him shot after he failed to raid Chun-Li’s village. [[ButForMeItWasTuesday Bison doesn’t remember any of it]]. |

Aligning himself with Chun-Li to get revenge, as the Tong is aligned with Bison, he works as her news technician and van driver. Once Bison and the Shadaloo was defeated, Honda returned to the world of Sumo and finally became Yokozuna. He also entered a series of practice bouts with the reformed Zangief.[[note]]according to his ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]] |
| 98 | ---- |
| 99 | * AdaptationalJobChange: Subverted, he used to be a sumo wrestler in the games until his career was ruined by Bison, and now works as a technical editor/van driver with Chun-Li on the news. |
| 100 | * AdaptationalNationality: E. Honda is changed from Japanese to American Samoan. |
| 101 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: In their console version endings, E. Honda and Zangief are stated to have become friends and sparring partners after fighting each other over the course of the game, and when [[HeelFaceTurn Zangief changes sides.]] |
| 102 | * RaceLift: E. Honda went from Japanese to Native Hawaiian. |
| 103 | * NoSell: Bison's dungeon master tries caning Honda only for him to sit there with a placid expression on his face. The dungeon master gives up and leaves after his cane breaks. The trope is then averted. After his torturer leaves, Honda slumps over in pain, explaining to Balrog that his sumo training allows him to block out pain, at least temporarily. |
| 104 | * ShockwaveStomp: E. Honda's Super Shiko special move, which involves him raising one leg and performing a powerful sumo stomp that causes a small tremor -- knocking the opponent over if they're close enough to him. |
| 105 | * TruerToTheText: Several endings put the characters more in line with their game versions as E. Honda is also back to being Japanese, while he was Hawaiian in the movie. |

| 111 | G. Balrog was a heavyweight boxer who refused to take a dive. This decision caused him to be forced out of sport with the Shadaloo Tong being responsible.[[note]]according to his Upper Deck trading card[[/note]] Aligning himself with Chun-Li to get revenge, as the Tong is aligned with Bison, he works as her cameraman. After the heroes' victory, Balrog returned to the US as a boxer. He was the only World Champion in the Heavyweight and Openweight Divisions. As he started to experience a lack of challengers, he became Chun-Li’s cameraman once again.[[note]]according to his ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]] |
| 112 | ---- |
| 113 | * AdaptationalHeroism: The first [[Film/StreetFighter live-action film]] turns his character upside down, portraying him as not only a good guy, but a close friend/associate of Chun-Li and E. Honda. |

| 128 | * HeadSwap: For once, notably averted for Ryu, Ken, and Akuma since they used digitized images of the actors, rather than hand drawn sprites. The attires are still quite similar, but Akuma is differentiated more than usual by having [[SpikesOfVillainy spiked armguards]] and [[WalkingShirtlessScene wearing his gi open to expose his chest]]. |

| 194 | * AffablyEvil: Zangief genuinely believes that Bison is a wise leader and that he's fighting for the good guys. He sees their organization as some inspiring movement and expresses love for their "team spirit" while instructing Ken and Ryu. |
| 195 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: In their console version endings, E. Honda and Zangief are stated to have become friends and sparring partners after fighting each other over the course of the game, and when [[HeelFaceTurn Zangief changes sides.]] |
| 196 | * TheDitz: They see on a live video feed that a large vehicle filled with dynamite rigged to blow is about to crash into the very building they are in. Zangief's solution is "Quick! Change the channel!". |
| 197 | * DumbMuscle: Zangief, to the point where he ''actually thought'' that Bison's group were the good guys, fighting against the evil, oppressive AN despite the fact that he knew Bison had taken hostages and was in the middle of ransoming them. And, of course, the scene with the TV, where he thinks changing the channel will make the exploding truck coming at them on live TV go away. |
| 198 | * EvilIsHammy: Vary rarely does Zangief speak in a calm manor. |
| 199 | * HeelRealization: Zangief thought he was fighting for the ''good guys''. As soon as he gets the alignments straightened out, [[HeelFaceTurn he proceeds to help the AN troops]]: |
| 200 | --> '''Zangief:''' You got... ''Paid?'' |
| 201 | * JerkassRealization: Zangief is stupid enough to not realize that he's working for a colossal asshole until much, much later. |
| 202 | * LoadBearingHero: When a door that leads out of Bison's doomed fortress threatens to close right in front of our heroes, Zangief, having just had his HeelRealization, steps in to keep it open. |
| 203 | * MinionManipulatedIntoVillainy: Zangief, as evidenced in similar entries. |
| 204 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil: Zangief isn't actually evil, he just happens to be fighting for the wrong people. Fortunately, he realizes this at the end. |
| 205 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[ObliviouslyEvil Zangief]] has this reaction to the crimes he committed in Bison's name in his arcade version ending. Although he makes up for it by realizing that Bison had been lying to him and defeating him, he's still tormented by what he did-- [[DownerEnding leading to him leaving the country and never being heard from again.]] |
| 206 | * NominalVillain: Zangief only serves Bison because he foolishly buys into Bison's propaganda about him being the hero and the Allied Nations being the villains. Once he realizes the truth, he turns on Bison and helps the real heroes. |
| 207 | * TheOnlyBeliever: Zangief appears to be the only one of Bison's followers who buys Bison's line of propaganda and thinks that he's a good guy. Everyone else is there to get paid. |
| 208 | * PluckyComicRelief: In the live-action movie. Helped by the fact that casting [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Bryniarski Andrew Bryniarski]] as him is PERFECT CASTING. |
| 209 | * SpectacularSpinning: More so than usual for Zangief in the arcade version, as he gains two new moves that revolve around it -- the ''Airplane Spin'', a command grab in which he picks his opponent up on his shoulders and spins them round multiple times to dizzy them (but do no damage), and the ''Flying Brain Crusher'', a Super Combo in which he does the same thing whilst leaping high into the air and slamming them into the ground afterward. |

| 213 | [[quoteright:189:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sfmdeejay.jpg]] |
| 214 | -> '''Portrayed by:''' Creator/MiguelANunezJr |
| 215 | Dee Jay is a Shadaloo hacker tech expert known for his superior knowledge of electronics. Formally working for Microsoft, Gen. Bison lured him to his cause with the promise of paying him a fortune. As Bison's empire crumbled, Dee Jay escaped arrest by the Allied Nations but was discovered by Sagat. Dee Jay was forced to work with Sagat, but left the country with his money. He stayed active in the underworld but would stay moving on to the next job where he can make the next big payday.[[note]]according to his ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]] |
| 216 | ---- |
| 217 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Oddly enough, Dee Jay was made into a servant of Bison in the movie, and he doesn't even have the same ObliviouslyEvil excuse as Zangief. |
| 218 | * AdaptationalWimp: Dee Jay goes from being a kickboxer to a computer technician in the employ of Bison. He does fight in the console version of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterTheMovie'' at least. |
| 219 | * DeadpanSnarker: Dee Jay tends to get the snarkiest lines, as he's not on-board with Bison's brand of madness but is too smart to say it to his face. |
| 220 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Subverted. Dee Jay is clearly dismissive of Bison's more insane plans like taking hostages and conquering the world with super-soldiers, but happily ignores Bison's megalomania because of [[OnlyInItForTheMoney the money he's getting paid]]. |
| 221 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Dee Jay worked for Bison largely because he’s OnlyInItForTheMoney. [[spoiler:The worthless Bison dollars are all he and Sagat get for their work]]. |
| 222 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney[=/=]SignedUpForTheDental: Dee Jay only works for Bison [[PunchClockVillain because he promised him a fortune]], and was fully aware that Bison was a power-mad dictator unlike the DumbMuscle Zangief. |
| 223 | * OnlySaneMan: Dee Jay serves this role for Bison's group. When your organization consists of [[AGodAmI a deranged megalomaniac]], a [[DumbMuscle hulking idiot]], and a bunch of mooks who graduated with flying colours from the ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy, it's not hard to qualify as this |
| 224 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Dee Jay hilariously drops out during Bison's LastStand speech during the AN's attack. |
| 225 | --> '''Dee Jay:''' Oh, man. I shoulda stayed at Microsoft! |
| 226 | * SmarterThanYouLook: Dee Jay is revealed to be this in his console version ending. Although he initially ends up penniless and forced to work for Sagat after the collapse of Bison's empire, he escapes with a sizeable portion of his former employer's money, and keeps on the move and wealthy by utilizing his skills as a hacker and engineer. |

| 232 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Jay Tavare |
| 233 | Vega is a bullfighter turned cage fighting champion for the Shadaloo Tong as Sagat's right-hand man. As the A.N. Stormed Bison's fortress, Vega battled Ryu in a re-match from the interrupted bout in the cage. He was defeated Ryu and, in the movie itself, looked like he was unable to escape the collapse of Bison's temple. Vega did indeed escape resumed his career as Sagat’s merciless cage fighting champion. |
| 234 | ---- |
| 235 | * AdaptationalDyeJob: Downplayed. Vega has black hair instead of blonde/brunette and wears a metallic mask as opposed to a white one, but he's otherwise one of the film's most accurate depictions of his game counterpart. |
| 236 | * BerserkButton: It’s subtle, but he’s [[TranquilFury ticked off]] when [[TheFightingNarcissist Ryu damages his face]]. |
| 237 | * BigNo: Vega yells this whenever he's [=KOed=] in the Arcade version. He also does a brief one in the comic book adaptation, right when he realizes Ryu is about to skewer him on his own claw. |
| 238 | * DeathByAdaptation: Vega, who's still alive in the games, was meant to die in the movie by being impaled on his claw. While the scene showing this was cut from the film, [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/Pk01DU0us5qrGsyup6ud0mYxGYYgOMlTEJs6rMeIYybOXJrPUmoYKX9TwZkRIaPXZ7acakUfxOoaiuA3VV-ynzqoO7NR5AEnaRoIRD6P3sPe3M1Ml4Iaa3G8mVZ08IMCZhZvNQ=s1600 it can be seen in the comic book adaptation.]] |
| 239 | * DragonAscendant: In his Arcade version ending, Vega becomes the new leader of the Shadaloo Tong and all its black market operations after defeating both Bison and his former leader Sagat -- where although he has to keep a lower profile due to his newfound notoriety -- he still competes in and continues to win his usual underground cage matches. This is averted in his console ending, however; Vega stays loyal to Sagat after they escape from Bison's collapsing empire, and instead secures his reputation as Sagat's right-hand-man and top prize fighter in the Shadaloo Tong. |
| 240 | * EstrogenBrigade: Invoked with Vega's female fans at the prize fight. One of them has a sign asking him to marry her, which she quickly discards after she sees [[ShirtlessScene Ryu]]. |
| 241 | * FacialHorror: In the movie, Vega gets his face burned against a hot oven in his fight with Ryu. |
| 242 | * FairPlayVillain: In the cage match, Ryu is given a sword to match Vega's claw. After briefly showing off, Ryu refuses to use it. Vega is about to take up his claw, but when hearing the chanting of the crowd "no weapons" similarly decides to not use his weapon. |
| 243 | * {{Greed}}: According to his Upper Deck trading card, Vega would do anything for Sagat for money, [[NotInTheFace except having his face damaged]], as [[TheFightingNarcissist you'd expect]]. |
| 244 | * ImprovisedWeapon: Not only can Vega detach and throw his claw at his opponents in the arcade fighting game, but he can also throw his mask. |
| 245 | * TheQuietOne: Vega only has four lines throughout the entire movie, and only speaks them when he's off-screen or wearing his mask. [[RealLifeWritesThePlot This is because Jay Tavare was still learning English at the time]]. |
| 246 | * TheRival: To Ryu, who had their first fight interrupted by Guile. They face off again near the end of the movie and Ryu defeats him. |
| 247 | * UncertainDoom: In the movie itself, he's last seen knocked unconscious by Ryu, and he's never confirmed dead nor shown escaping. Vega was originally meant to die through impalement on his own claw, but the death scene -- shown in the comic book adaptation -- ended up being cut [[RealLifeWritesThePlot in case a sequel happened]]. |
| 248 | * UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem: Vega dies this way in the comic book adaptation. Ryu blocks a stab from his claw with his dropped mask, pulls the claw off his arm in the following struggle, and then [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice throws Vega onto the upward-pointing blades to impale him]]. |

| 253 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Wes Studi |
| 254 | Viktor Sagat is the leader of the Shadaloo Tong in Shadaloo City. Rising through the ranks of cage fighting under the nickname "Iron Fist", Sagat runs black market operations throughout the country of Shadaloo including the tentative alliance with Gen. Bison. After the Allied Nations stowed Bison's fortress and he is beaten in battle by Ken, Sagat retreats. After Bison’s defeat, Sagat went underground as the A.N. forces restored order to Shadaloo City. Once the A.N. troops eventually left, Sagat regained control of the city’s underworld with his focus on making money and not controlling the country.[[note]]according to his ending in the [=PS1=] and Saturn versions of ''SFTM’’[[/note]] |
| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * AdaptationalJobChange: Subverted with Sagat who's a retired fighter turned mob boss, while still working as a bodyguard for M. Bison like in the games. |
| 257 | * AdaptationalNationality: Sagat is changed from Thai in the games to a native of Shadaloo. |
| 258 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the games tradition, Sagat nursed a grudge on Ryu for the latter defeating him in a fight. In this movie, the rivalry was completely overhauled where Sagat barely even interacted with Ryu - It is instead a Ryu vs Vega rivalry while Sagat himself had a grudge on Ken instead. |
| 259 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Sagat is supposed to be Thai. He's portrayed by a full-blooded American Indian Cherokee actor, Wes Studi, who plays the Muay Thai master with his thick Oklahoma accent. |
| 260 | * EvilCounterpart: Sagat to Ken, as by the end Ken sees Sagat as what he could have become if he had given to his selfishness and greed. And possibly by association Vega to Ryu. |
| 261 | * EyeBeams: Sagat has a variation of this as his Evil Eye special move in the arcade version. By holding down all three punch buttons and then releasing, Sagat lifts his eyepatch to project a short-range, wave-shaped beam from underneath it that stuns his opponent in place if they touch it. For a long time. And at no cost to his Super meter. |
| 262 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Sagat only worked for Bison largely because he’s OnlyInItForTheMoney. [[spoiler:The worthless Bison dollars is all he and Dee Jay get for their work]]. |
| 263 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: Sagat is given the first name Vikto in this adaption. |
| 264 | * OnlySaneMan: Sagat initially refuses to deal with Bison once he realizes how insane he is, and overall is a pragmatic, logical villain. |
| 265 | * RetiredBadass: Before starting his criminal empire, he was a cage fighting champion nicknamed the Iron Fist. He considers Vega the greatest cage fighter since himself. |

| 270 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/RaulJulia ([[Film/StreetFighter The Film]]), Darko Tuscan ([[VideoGame/StreetFighterTheMovie The Arcade and Console Games]]) |
| 271 | Gen. Bison is a military dictator with grand designs to unite the world under his own unhinged machinations. By amassing a massive army, aligning himself with the Shadaloo Tong, and forcing Dr. Dhalsim fo make his mutated soldiers, Bison sought $20 Billion for the 63 relief workers he abducted to bankroll his ambitions. He is defeated twice in one-on-one battle by Col. Guile and was thought to have been killed. In TheStinger of the film however, he is revealed to have survived with his plans on, [[MemeticMutation of course]], [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]]. |
| 272 | ---- |
| 273 | * AdaptationalComicRelief: Gets this treatment in the live-action movie. He's still an aspiring tyrant with a rampant case of megalomania, but is far more {{camp}} than his truly sinister original incarnation. |
| 274 | * AdaptationalNationality: Bison is from an unspecified country, but is portrayed by the great Puerto Rican actor, Raúl Juliá, with no mention at all of the character's origins. |
| 275 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: While still the villain, Bison isn't as evil as he is in the games. In the games, he willingly made himself as evil as possible in order to harness his powers more efficiently. Here, he's your run-of-the-mill crazy dictator who want to TakeOverTheWorld and [[WellIntentionedExtremist may]], or [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist may not]] be sincere about wanting to turn it into a better place, as screwed up as he is. |
| 276 | * AdaptationalWimp: The original Bison was a Psycho Power controlling powerhouse. This Bison is a middle-aged man with no super powers who instead relies on his suit's built-in gadgets. Though given the casting, it's justified, as there's a limit to how much of this a terminally ill 54 years old actor with no martial arts training can do. |
| 277 | * AntagonistInMourning: Bison really wishes that Guile was alive... [[SubvertedTrope so he can snap his spine]]. Ah, the road not taken. |
| 278 | * TheBadGuyWins: Although this normally happens to its fullest extent (the defeat of Guile and the Allied Nations, and Bison conquering the world) when beating the game as General Bison on either version, it can also happen in the console-exclusive Movie Battle mode if time runs out. |
| 279 | * BareFistedMonk: Bison carries no weapons and has disdain for anything other than unarmed combat. Upon meeting, Guile is happy to oblige. Later, [[SupernaturalMartialArts things get weird]]. |
| 280 | * BerserkButton: Openly [[YoureInsane questioning Bison's sanity]] is definitely ''not'' recommended for anyone keen on staying alive and healthy. He plans to sic Blanka on the kidnapped AN workers simply because they called him "mad". |
| 281 | * BigBad: Bison is the main villain and causes the entire plot. |
| 282 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: A line so awesome it named a trope. After Chun-Li explains how Bison's forces attacked her village and [[YouKilledMyFather killed her father]], Bison responds with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVzAMmpMra8 this.]] |
| 283 | * CharacterTics: Bison's hand gestures as he speechifies, which Julia got from watching newsreel footage of Benito Mussolini. |
| 284 | * ChewingTheScenery: |
| 285 | --> '''Bison:''' You still refuse to ACCEPT...my [[AGodAmI godhood]]? KEEP your own {{God}}! In fact, this might be a good time to PRAY to Him! [[Literature/TheBible For I beheld Satan as he]] '''''[[Literature/TheBible FELL FROM HEAVEN!...LIKE LIIIIIIGHTNIIIIIING!!!]]''''' |
| 286 | * ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Bison does not possess the Psycho Power of his video game counterpart, and instead relies on a high-tech battle suit that allows him to fly and fire off bursts of electricity from his hands. |
| 287 | * CrazyPrepared: Bison has a life support system (CPR, defibrillator, adrenaline injection) built into his uniform, which kicks in after Guile defeats him the first time. [[spoiler:As TheStinger shows, it also runs on solar batteries, which brings him back to life a second time.]] |
| 288 | ** Bison's quarters have a [[spoiler:panic room, from which he can trigger knockout gas to subdue intruders]]. This is how he foils [[spoiler:Chun-Li]]'s assassination attempt. |
| 289 | * CreateYourOwnHero: Chun-Li's father led an uprising against Bison, who had him killed, and it drove her to avenge him. |
| 290 | * CurbStompBattle: Bison demonstrates his power in the movie's opening by effortlessly killing two fighters. |
| 291 | * ElaborateUndergroundBase: Bison's base is a reformatted Thai temple, with evidence of recent construction littered throughout. |
| 292 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: Bison recruits minions and henchmen from all over the world. The end of the movie even has a joke segment using national stereotypes to make fun of his international regiments. |
| 293 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Bison can't seem to grasp why people call him horrific and evil. This is coming from the man who never remembers people he's murdered due to his enormous ego considering them so far beneath him, is holding people hostage, and ''has a chandelier made of human bones''. |
| 294 | ** A scene that sums this up is when he is shown some of the images of horrible violence and cruelty that are being beamed directly into Blanka's brain. Bison is genuinely ''confused'' by this, and it has to be explained to him that this is something most people consider bad and would react negatively to. |
| 295 | * EvilIsHammy: Bison is grandiose and charismatic when he’s conveying his version of a new peace under his rule. |
| 296 | * EvilLaugh: Bison delivers one after gassing most of the heroes. |
| 297 | * EvilVersusEvil: Bison and Sagat have a face-off briefly, and Sagat makes it clear he thinks Bison is not worth dealing with on account of insanity. |
| 298 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: Bison is willing to do this and expects Dee Jay to do the same, but Dee Jay isn't so enthusiastic about it. |
| 299 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Bison is respectful and polite (unless you push his BerserkButton, that is) while making no secret of the fact that he's also a murderous dictator. Bison voices his regret at Guile's apparent demise, for he wanted the two of them to [[WorthyOpponent meet each other in combat as noble warriors]]... right before he would personally snap his spine. He also makes a rather emotional speech that he wants to help mankind by enslaving the world with an army of super soldiers and is very cordial when explaining to Chun-Li why he can't remember killing her father. |
| 300 | * GameOver: The one in the arcade version cleverly references an event in the film by playing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYtYYdu3eHQ a digitized clip]] from it of Bison yelling [[LargeHam "GAAAAAME! OOOOVEEEEEEEERRRR!"]] -- which originates from the scene of him using remote-controlled mines to blow up Guile's Stealth Boat when he initially attacks. |
| 301 | * GlobalCurrency: This is what Bison intends for his Bison Dollars to be. As he says, each one will be worth exactly five British pounds, "for that is the price they will set when I kidnap their Queen!" Of course, until that time they're about as valuable as TabletopGame/{{Monopoly}} dollars, which Sagat points out when Bison tries to use them in their arms deal. |
| 302 | * AGodAmI: Bison's megalomania grows so large that he claims to be a god in the final showdown with Guile: |
| 303 | -->'''Bison:''' Something wrong, Colonel? You come here prepared to fight a madman, and instead you found a god? [...] You still refuse to accept my godhood? Keep your own God! In fact, this might be a good time to pray to Him! |
| 304 | ** Julia himself considered Bison a Mega-Villain who he saw as a super human Greek personage of ancient times. |
| 305 | * GlovedFistOfDoom: Bison makes a fist when declaring "Pax Bisonica!" |
| 306 | * LargeHam: Juliá's version of Bison is even more fondly remembered than Creator/NorioWakamoto's portrayals. |
| 307 | * LoadBearingBoss: During the final battle, Bison's reactors and computers are destabilized, resulting in the entire castle blowing up by the end. |
| 308 | * MotiveRant: Bison explains to Zangief and Dee Jay that his SuperSoldier-fueled army is intended to unite the world under one rule (his). [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Sound familiar]]? |
| 309 | * ANaziByAnyOtherName: Besides Bison's general appearance and behavior, which was inspired by real-life footage of Hitler and Mussolini, his hallways are filled with propaganda posters modeled on real-life World War I and II posters. |
| 310 | * NewEraSpeech: Bison gives a pretty epic one to his henchmen, who have somewhat different interpretations of it. |
| 311 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Bison chooses to sic Blanka on the hostages instead of killing them via firing squad. This allows them to survive long enough for Guile to get them out of harm's way right before the final confrontation. |
| 312 | * NightmareFace: Bison's eyes are disturbingly huge at times. Especially when he says ''"Anyone who opposes me shall be destroyed."'' |
| 313 | * NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler:After the credits, Bison punches his way out of the wall of monitors.]] |
| 314 | * OnlyMostlyDead: Bison after the first part of the fight with Guile. His computer quickly revives him. |
| 315 | * OneWingedAngel: Guile kills Bison, then calls Cammy to give an update. Meanwhile, the computer revives Bison, pumps him full of adrenaline, then gives him the power to fly and shoot electricity. This is quite funny when you realize this pretty much accurately portrays how FinalBoss AI tends to work in {{fighting game}}s. [[LetsGetDangerous You kick their ass in the first round, and then in the next, they suddenly get way tougher]]. [[SNKBoss And sometimes even use moves they didn't before]], although Bison could only use electricity in the arcade version of the game of the movie of the game. |
| 316 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Bison, especially with his "[[TemptingFate I know women and you are harmless]]" remark towards [[ActionGirl Chun-Li]]. He also makes fun of the one-eyed Sagat with an "I guess you didn't SEE that, did you?"... while covering one eye with his hand. |
| 317 | * PsychoElectro: Bison was already apeshit insane, but he gets even more loopy when his revival causes him to have electric powers. |
| 318 | * RaisedHandOfSurvival: At the end, Bison's hand smashes out of the debris while a computer voiceover informs us that his batteries are still working. We then see him opening a computer file labeled "[[TakeOverTheWorld World Domination]]" and hitting the replay button. |
| 319 | * SeenItAll: In [[Film/StreetFighter the movie]]. |
| 320 | * ShockAndAwe: Bison uses this against Guile in their final battle -- as well as in the arcade game -- when he's revived by his life-support suit, generating massive bolts of lightning from his gloves: |
| 321 | -->'''Guile:''' (''reeling from being electrocuted'') Bison... [[OhCrap what happened to the purity of unarmed combat...?!]] |
| 322 | -->'''Bison:''' This is merely Superconductor Electromagnetism. Surely, you've heard of it? It levitates bullet trains from Tokyo to Osaka. It levitates my desk, from which I ride the saddle of the world. And it levitates... '''me!''' |
| 323 | * SwissBankAccount: Bison has one, which he wants the $20,000,000,000 ransom wired to. |
| 324 | * TakeOverTheWorld: Bison's final objective, though he doesn't even come close. His whole scheme is the hostage thing, at least in the short term. On the other hand, he is flipping ''insane'' and did take over Shadaloo at least. |
| 325 | * TrueFinalBoss: Super Bison in the Tag Team Mode in the arcade version. |
| 326 | * UnknownRival: Bison does not even ''remember'' what he did to make Chun-Li swear vengeance upon him. |
| 327 | * VisionaryVillain: Bison wants to create a race of genetically-engineered SuperSoldiers to wipe out all traces of race, nation and creed so that [[WellIntentionedExtremist the whole world can live in peace under his rule]]. |
| 328 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Bison is a megalomaniacal madman, but he genuinely seems to think that his EvilPlan is for the good of mankind. As he explains in a [[VisionaryVillain visionary speech]], he wants to create an army of genetic {{Super Soldier}}s swearing absolute obedience to him. Then by conquering the world he can do away with conflicts based on race, nation, or creed, and everyone can live peacefully under his dominion. |
| 329 | * YoureInsane: When Bison inspects his SuperSoldier project, his lead scientist Dr. Dhalsim calls him "psychotic" for allowing these torturous experiments. Bison grabs him by the neck and almost kills him for the insult, but ultimately relents since he still requires Dhalsim's talents. |

| 364 | [[quoteright:169:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sfmakuma.jpg]] |
| 365 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Ernie Reyes Sr. |
| 366 | The brother of Ryu and Ken's master, Akuma's sought to make the ancient powers of their martial art his and his alone. In the arcade ending of ''Street Fighter: The Movie'', Akuma accomplishes this goal as he planned to rid the world of any trace of his brother's existence and influence. |
| 367 | ---- |
| 368 | * HeadSwap: For once, notably averted for Ryu, Ken, and Akuma since they used digitized images of the actors, rather than hand drawn sprites. The attires are still quite similar, but Akuma is differentiated more than usual by having [[SpikesOfVillainy spiked armguards]] and [[WalkingShirtlessScene wearing his gi open to expose his chest]]. |

| 371 | [[folder: Blade]] |
| 372 | [[quoteright:160:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sfmblade.jpg]] |
| 373 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Alan Noon |
| 374 | Blade is one of the specialized Bison Shock Troopers that has received rigorous training and cybernetic implants to serve Gen. Bison. He is an expert at knife fighting with many hidden in compartments in his suit. He also wields a stun rod and bazooka. In reality Blade is Gunloc, Guile's brother and a professional wrestler working with Guile as a deep cover operative inside Shadaloo. After years of infiltration, Blade[=/=]Gunloc returned to the ring after Bison's defeat. |
| 375 | ---- |
| 376 | * AscendedMeme: The character of Gunloc from ''VideoGame/SaturdayNightSlamMasters'' is hinted to be Guile's brother in the U.S. version of that game (this relation was never even alluded in the Japanese version though, being a creation of the game's localization). In the arcade version of ''Street Fighter: The Movie'', this relation is made explicit by having Blade being revealed to be Gunloc undercover in his ending. The Shadaloo Combat Research Institute profile on the ''Street Fighter V Character Encyclopedia'' website has a profile for Blade as a Shadaloo agent, but does not give further details. |
| 377 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: To the ninjas and cyborgs in ‘’Mortal Kombat’’. |
| 378 | * {{Canon Immigrant}}s: Originally from the first Film/StreetFighter film and VideoGame/StreetFighterTheMovie, he is now canon thanks to the ''Street Fighter V'' Character Reference. |
| 379 | * PaletteSwap: Blade is the red Bison Shock Trooper. |

| 382 | [[folder: F7, Arkane, and Khyber]] |
| 383 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bison_troopers.jpg]] |
| 384 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Alan Noon |
| 385 | F7, Arkane, and Khyber are three special Bison Shock Troopers that have received rigorous training and cybernetic implants to serve Gen. Bison. Arkane can summon electricity, mechanically elongate his limbs and teleport. Khyber has a device in his helmet that allows him to breathe fire. F7 has the abilities of Blade, Arkane and Khyber combined. |
| 386 | ---- |
| 387 | * AllYourPowersCombined: F7 has all the other Troopers' attacks. |
| 388 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Take a good look at them and the game they're originally from, and then recall the various ninja characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile from the Franchise/MortalKombat series, as well as the robots Sektor and Cyrax. In fact, Arcane's name is spelled as Ar'''k'''ane in the original game. [[XtremeKoolLetterz Switching hard C's with K's is Mortal Kombat's gimmick.]] |
| 389 | * {{Canon Immigrant}}s: Originally from the first Film/StreetFighter film and VideoGame/StreetFighterTheMovie, they are now canon thanks to the ''Street Fighter V'' Character Reference. |
| 390 | * FlatCharacter: Up until the ''Street Fighter V'' profiles, these three had no story whatsoever. |
| 391 | * ShockAndAwe: The ''Electric Arc'' Special Move, which is shared by Bison, Arkane and F7, takes the form of this -- being a short-ranged burst of lightning that can temporarily stun an opponent in place. |
| 392 | * CanonImmigrant: The Bison Troopers in ''Street Fighter V'', as they received profiles and artwork. |
| 393 | * PaletteSwap: Arcane wears a blue uniform, F7 wears black and Khyber wears yellow. |
| 394 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: hyber plays this role straight in the arcade version, who is basically Dhalsim's replacement with his fire-breathing techniques, albeit from a flamethrower hidden in his mask. Arkane has a few similarities with Blanka as well due to his electrocution attacks, which he shares with Bison and F7. |

| 398 | [[quoteright:215:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sfmfeilong.jpg]] |
| 399 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Kenya Sawada |
| 400 | Fei Long is a movie star and fighter based on Bruce Lee. He makes a background cameo as a prisoner in the Dungeon stage of Street Fighter arcade game based on the film. |
| 401 | ---- |
| 402 | * BruceLeeClone: Despite doing very little, Fei Long still retains the appearance akin to Bruce Lee. |
| 403 | * TheCameo: He only appears as Bison's prisoner in the arcade fighting game. |
| 404 | * DemotedToExtra: The only other character from ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' (aside from Akuma) to not be in the movie and only character to not be playable in the movie-based games. |
| 405 | * DistressedDude: Like Chun-Li, Cammy, and Honda, Fei Long can been seen imprisoned in the background of the Dungeon stage. Unlike Chun-Li, Cammy, and Honda, Fei Long isn't a playable character. |

| 410 | ->'''Portrayed by:''' Benny Urquidez |
| 411 | Raven is a member of the Shadaloo Tong working under Sagat. He was meant to be a playable character in the arcade fighting game but the team ran out of time. |
| 412 | ---- |
| 413 | * AscendedExtra: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig Zagged]] Benny Urquidez played a nameless thug working for Sagat that, had the character not been scraped for time, would had been a fully-realized, playable character. |
| 414 | * StanceSystem: Was supposed to have several different fighting styles to choose from but the character was not finalized for the arcade game. |

| 419 | Kee Han the owner of the Shadaloo Tavern and is the top Black Marketer in Shadaloo City. He most likely was cut out of the film, but appeared in the comic book adaption of the film. |
