Hadouken! Blending top notch martial arts with an authentic adaptation of the iconic Street Fighter franchise, Assassin’s Fist is the killer combo that gamers and action fans alike have been craving. Produced in association with Capcom USA, the British-made live action series has proved a huge hit online and this feature-length DVD and Blu-ray edition is even more kickass, sporting an additional 14 minutes of exclusive footage plus an extra 36 minutes of bonus features.

Helmed by director, actor, fight choreographer and martial artist Joey Ansah (The Bourne Ultimatum), Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist stars Mike Moh as Ryu and Christian Howard as Ken. Meanwhile, Akira Koieyama (Rush, 47 Ronin) plays their martial arts teacher, Gouken.

Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist tells the origin story of Street Fighter's most famous duo, Ryu and Ken. Learning the way of the warrior at the secluded dojo of martial arts master Gouken, the pair are the last practitioners of an ancient fighting style known as Ansatsuken - 'The Assassin's Fist'. But the Ansatsuken style hides a dark and tragic secret; a legacy that is about to catch up with Ryu and Ken.

Fists fly and kicks rain down in this thrilling and faithful evocation of the Street Fighter universe, created by true devotees of Capcom's classic fighting game series. Action movie fans will love the scintillating fight scenes, jaw-dropping martial arts and compelling storyline; lifelong Street Fighter players will also adore how true Assassin's Fist stays to the videogame's lore.

When it comes to live action videogame adaptations, Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist delivers a knockout blow to the competition. British director Joey Ansah pulls off the tricky feat of making Assassin’s Fist both authentic and accessible, while the cast's martial arts never fail to dazzle.
