Street Fighter — PG-13 (A-lll)
The martial arts fantasy film Street Fighter, directed by Kitao Sakurai and T.J. Fixman, contains elements of violence, nudity, and sexual humor that may require parental discretion.
Set in 1993, the story follows estranged friends Ryu, played by Andrew Koji, and Ken, played by Noah Centineo. Ryu lives in seclusion selling Japanese food, while Ken has become a minor celebrity. A dictator named Bison, played by David Dastmalchian, organizes a tournament to steal Ryu's energy, forcing both men to compete. Chun-Li, played by Callina Liang, organizes the event while working toward her own hidden agenda.
The Catholic Spirit reports that the film features frequent nonlethal but gory violence, instances of torture, and fleeting nudity. The movie also includes sexual double entendres, occasional sexually themed humor, and various levels of profanity and swearing. While the film includes brief warnings about the evils of envy and egotism, the review describes the majority of the content as frenetic and macho.
