Strange phrasing

I removed this bit which was the last line of the lede.

An intended reboot, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, was released in 2009 to critical and commercial failure.

While factually true, I'm not sure whether Legend of Chun Li's critical and commercial failure is really relevant to the informational content of this article (as it's mentioned in the lede of said movie's own article). Also, any movie released 15 years apart yet somehow part of the same franchise is practically guaranteed to be a reboot, even though I know there have been exceptions to the rule. It's rather the word "intended" which puzzles me. When is a reboot "unintentional"? I changed the wording in the article accordingly. --CaptainNtheGameMaster (talk) 06:44, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2018 Retrospective

Twenty-four years later The Guardian has a detailed retrospective:

Keith Stuart (16 July 2018). "'I punched him so hard he cried': inside the Street Fighter movie". The Guardian. Archived from the original on 2018-06-16. Retrieved 2018-07-16. {{cite news}}: |archive-date= / |archive-url= timestamp mismatch; 2018-07-16 suggested (help)

There is a lot of information that could be used to improve this Wikipedia article. The retrospective includes interview comments from the Director, crew, and cast. It gives an overview of the tight schedule, the casting difficulties, location difficulties, Van Damme difficulties, MPAA difficulties, etc. etc. The article notes (despite or irrespective of all difficulties) the film was a commercial success, and gives a critical reappraisal: "‘With hindsight, Street Fighter: The Movie is a charmingly camp and self-consciously silly action flick", and the direct gets the last word: "How can you see that movie and think it’s funny by accident?"

I'd make changes myself only the article is locked for reasons unclear. -- 37.110.218.43 (talk) 09:49, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Still locked, still not being improved. -- 109.79.168.130 (talk) 02:12, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 26 September 2020

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

"De Souza agreed, however plans were switched once it was learned the Raúl Juliá was suffering from cancer.[8] Initially plans were to shoot Juliá's less intensive scenes first while the rest of the cast would train with Picerni, however upon seeing Juliá, de Souza realized that they could not show him in his current weakened state and was forced to switch the filming around."

"learned the" is a typo for "learned that".

Personally I would change both ", however " to "; however, ". 2001:8B0:BB7B:4008:21F:F3FF:FEBF:5041 (talk) 18:03, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
