The film is famous for a surreal sequence where Ryu and a villain transform into characters from the Street Fighter II video game, with Jackie Chan appearing as E. Honda and Chun-Li.

The film features an ensemble cast representing some of the biggest names in early 90s Asian cinema: as Ryo Saeba. Joey Wong as Kaori Makimura, Ryo's long-suffering partner. Kumiko Goto as Shizuko Imamura, the runaway heiress. Richard Norton as Colonel MacDonald, the main antagonist. Gary Daniels as Kim, MacDonald's formidable henchman. Leon Lai as "Gundam," a card-slinging gambler.
