His last big-screen role was in the ''Film/StreetFighter'' movie, where he played BigBad M. Bison with all the [[LargeHam hammy aplomb]] one would expect for a role like that one ([[HamAndCheese in a]] ''[[HamAndCheese movie]]'' [[HamAndCheese like that one]]!). While the movie itself isn't considered quality cinema by any means, many would agree that Juliá's performance alone is enough to make the movie SoBadItsGood instead of merely bad and his performance was praised enough that he received a posthumous nomination for Best Supporting Actor in Film during the 1994 {{UsefulNotes/Saturn Award}}s for it. His children were huge fans of the video games, so he selected that role in order to [[SoMyKidsCanWatch give them a film they could enjoy]], knowing that it would likely be the last feature he would ever do, as he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer three years prior. Sadly, he was right, dying of a stroke two months before the film premiered. His actual last appearance was in the TV movie ''Down Came a Blackbird'', which was filmed two weeks before his death, and while on his deathbed (not that he knew it at the time), he was reading through the script for ''Film/{{Desperado}}'', '''literally''' working almost until the last minute.

Raúl Rafael Juliá y Arcelay (March 9, 1940 – October 24, 1994) was a Puerto Rican actor who gained fame through his stage performances on- and off-Broadway. Indie film lovers will probably know him as Valentine from ''Literature/KissOfTheSpiderWoman'', while mainstream audiences will most likely recognize him from his role as Gomez Addams in the [[Film/TheAddamsFamily two film adaptations]] of ''Series/TheAddamsFamily''. He was also the lead in the Creator/{{PBS}} movie ''Film/OverdrawnAtTheMemoryBank'', but don't hold that against him; he only accepted the role because he wanted to support public broadcasting.
