* AdaptationalVillainy: In the games, Zangief, while HotBlooded, is nonetheless a GentleGiant, a FriendToAllChildren, and even TheBigGuy for the World Warriors by the time of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV''. Here, he's nothing more than a mindless brute who ruthlessly [[WouldHurtAChild beats the life out of Shun a small boy]], something his game counterpart would never do.

The story starts when Ryu is thinking of Gouken's death, then intervenes in a shoot-out to help Chun-Li. Afterwards, he and Ken are contacted by a boy named Shun -- who claims to be Ryu's younger brother! Neither is really convinced by Shun's claim, but they decide that there's no harm on letting the boy tag along with them. Things start getting hairy, however, when the three decide to enter the Street Fighter tournament: not only Ryu is starting to show more and more sympthoms of the Satsui no Hado awakening within him, but Shun's background and the people behind it start to unfurl...

* DarkerAndEdgier: This is one of the darkest and most violent entries in the overall franchise. There's lots of blood, nightmarish imagery, implied AttemptedRape, ColdbloodedTorture, and a child getting brutalized and even [[spoiler:dying at the end.]] Overall, the movie has a depressing tone compared to the more upbeat, while still intense, series in general.

* EarlyBirdCameo: During Ryu's final battle with Sadler, Ryu's Dark Hadou-fueled form briefly cancels out with the Hadouken he was charging up changing from dark to white. This, given what happens in Street Fighter IV and V, could be the earliest appearance of the Power of Nothingness.

* TheWorfEffect: Despite Ken often being considered Ryu's equal, he gets viciously thrashed by Rosanov alongside Chun-li and Birdie (no slouches themselves) to show that only Ryu is a match for him. Even Ryu himself spends both of his fights with Rosanov taking a beating and only by giving into the Dark Hado can he truly put him down.
