11 memorable lines from forgettable movies


Street Fighter (1994) – But for me, it was Tuesday.

After a long speech by Ming-Na Wen’s Chun-Li, Raúl Juliá reminds everyone why his performance as General M. Bison is the only thing worth remembering about the 1994 Street Fighter adaptation. Bison killed Chun-Li’s father after a failed raid of their village, and, as we find out, doesn’t remember it at all. Failure or not, this event just wasn’t special enough to deserve a place in Bison’s memory. Just another day being the Big Bad of a fighting game universe. This was Juliá’s final film (he died two months after the film’s release), and the lauded actor of stage and screen gives his all to this ambivalent villain. Street Fighter isn’t the worst live-action video game adaptation ever made. Far from it, in fact. But it’s completely forgettable, with its half-hearted acting and sub-DTV action. That Bison’s response lives on beyond the film, beyond even the speech it’s dismissing, is a testament to sneaking some quippy writing into your schlock and giving it to a stone-cold pro.
