** And just to top it all off, the new 4K release from 2023 includes the edited PG-13 versions as bonus features. Save for one rumored-but-never-verified cut that Discotek couldn't find, if a version exists, it's on this disc.

** Even better: According to [[WordOfGod Discotek themselves]] they reached out to the original ADR directors, Les and Mary Claypool to help with the mixes. This was also Les' final work in ADR before retirement.

*** Extra bonus points for the Japanese soundtrack for the final fight: it was later included in Street Fighter Alpha's hidden Dramatic Battle mode which recreates the sequence from the film. This in turn was later used in Project X Zone 2 right down to Ryu and Ken using the same actions against Bison as in the film while the same music plays.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IGBVXLfmm8 Ryu's match with Fei Long]] is short, and Fei gets the worst of it, but damn if it isn't a good scrap.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEFxOSEdxjE Chun-Li's big fight scene]] is possibly one of the best animated fighting scenes ''ever''. Chun-Li is unarmed, [[FanService nearly naked]], and alone in her apartment. She doesn't realize that she's being stalked by Vega, who Bison has dispatched to kill her. Despite Vega's obvious advantages in size, ambush, and his claw, she defeats the psychopath not with any kind of luck, but because ''she's better than him.'' Even after sustaining multiple serious injuries and starting to weaken due to blood loss, [[PluckyGirl she refuses to give in to the pain and keeps fighting]]. [[EvilGloating After he pauses to taunt her]], she lifts her couch over her head, tosses the damn thing at Vega, and nails the bastard right in the face, [[TheFightingNarcissist pissing him off]].

scrap. Particularly notable for making Ryu's iconic but normally completely implausible [[HurricaneKick Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku]] look ''amazing'' (and more importantly, ''convincing'') as the finishing move.

** It should be noted how brutal the fight is. You do get the impression that either one could die at any moment. She ends up with bloody scars on her torso and face. As for him, she didn't just hit him in the face, she stepped on him, then did a pirouette with her foot twisting on his exposed cheek. And seeing her lightning kick batter his head around with every hit shows how dangerous the move could be.

You can see the wall cracking and crumbling behind Vega from the force of her kicks smashing him back against it before she leaps up to put him ''right through it'' with one final double-foot blow.

** Vega gets his own when Chun-Li delivers a sweeping kick, which he dodges effortlessly simply by bending backwards, before lurching right back up directly into her face.

* Props go to Discotek with the 2016 Blu-Ray release of the film. Not only did it include both English and Japanese soundtracks, but all three English tracks, the ability to watch the film in English with the Japanese soundtrack, no voices altogether, and remastered visuals, with not even a single frame cut. A bonus feature on the disc documents the process that went into remastering the film.

** The film has a perfect opportunity for a BigDamnHeroes moment in this fight with Guile busting in and saving Chun-Li from Vega at the last moment. Instead, Chun-Li defeats Vega all by herself with her "[[DeathByAThousandCuts Hundred Rending Legs]]", finishing him off by kicking him ''[[DestinationDefenestration through the wall of her apartment]]. Guile only arrives after she wins so he can rush her to the hospital. Even so, it's pretty awesome to watch him rushing to get there because ''he doesn't know she'll win''.
