A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."
An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

The classic video game franchise Street Fighter is back in theaters, with a new live-action adaptation that's already grossed $57.3 million USD. It's not the first time the franchise has made it into the realm of live-action; it first hit the big screen in 1994, with a much-derided adaptation that's become something of a cult classic. And while the new movie may not want to emulate its predecessor too closely, it almost had a cameo from one of that movie's stars.
The movie does feature an homage to the 1994 film; while battling Chun-Li (Callina Liang), the villainous M. Bison (David Dastmalchian) paraphrases one of his 1994 counterpart's most iconic lines, as originally delivered by Raul Julia in one of his last performances: "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was a Tuesday." There are, however, no winking cameos from the original cast members, as is often seen in franchise films; for instance, Dolph Lundgren dropped into Masters of the Universe earlier this summer, 39 years after becoming the big screen's first He-Man.
One cast member almost did make it in: Kylie Minogue. The Australian pop star played Cammy in the original film, and the producers of the new film were interested in having her cameo. They were having difficulty contacting her, but masked singer Orville Peck, who plays Vega in the new film, is a friend of Minogue's. As revealed in a recent interview with Queerty, Peck told them, "Guys, I can text her." Unfortunately, Minogue didn't end up pulling her red beret out of the closet; while she was willing, she couldn't make it work with her schedule. She did tell him that making the original movie "was one of the most fun experiences of her life," and he's still trying to get co-star Mel Jarnson into a meeting of the Cammies.

Cue The Track Your Anthem Is…
Four songs, four completely different theories about how a life is supposed to go. Here is the one that has been playing under yours, what it says about you, and where you have heard it doing the same job on screen.
Don't Stop Believin'
Your life sounds like the most stubbornly hopeful song ever written. It is about ordinary people on an ordinary night who have not given up on the thing they are quietly working towards, which is a description of most people and almost nobody admits it.
- You are playing a long game, and you would rather get there slowly than make a scene about it.
- The song famously cut to black on the last scene of The Sopranos, which is the single most argued about needle drop in television history.
- Glee then made it a phenomenon all over again, and a 1981 album track became one of the most streamed songs of the last century.
- The reason it works on you is the same reason it works on everybody, which is that it never once promises the thing will actually happen.
Eye of the Tiger
Your life sounds like a training montage, and you are completely fine with that. This is the song for people who need a bit of friction to function, and who get noticeably better the moment somebody suggests they cannot do it.
- You are driven by the comeback rather than the win, which is why the second attempt at anything is always your best one.
- Sylvester Stallone commissioned it for Rocky III after he could not get the rights to another track, and it went on to define the whole genre.
- That guitar intro has been doing the work of an entire pep talk for more than forty years.
- The risk in this one is real, since a person who needs an opponent will eventually go looking for one.
Dancing Queen
Your life sounds like the happiest song ever recorded, and the clever thing about it is that it is quietly a bit sad underneath. You are the person who makes an evening happen, and the room is measurably worse when you are not in it.
- You treat joy as something you build rather than something you wait for, which is a genuine skill and an exhausting one.
- Mamma Mia turned ABBA into a second career for a whole new audience, and this is the song everybody waits for.
- There is a melancholy buried in it about a night that will not last, and that is precisely why it lands harder every year.
- Your friends would describe you as the reason they still go out, which is a bigger compliment than it sounds.
Born to Run
Your life sounds like a song about getting out. Springsteen wrote the definitive account of being young somewhere small and knowing, absolutely, that the real thing is happening somewhere else.
- You are restless in a way that is not unhappiness, and you have never fully unpacked anywhere.
- This is the most cinematic song on the list, which is why it has soundtracked roughly every film about leaving a town behind.
- The record nearly did not happen at all, since Springsteen spent six months on the title track alone and almost scrapped it.
- What saves it from being simple escapism is that he is not running alone, and neither, if you are honest, are you.

What Is 1994's 'Street Fighter' About?
While the new film has the same fighting tournament structure of the video games, the 1994 Street Fighter, which was written and directed by Die Hard scribe Steven E. de Souza, takes a more conventional action film structure. Drug lord M. Bison (Julia), ruler of the breakaway nation Shadaloo, has taken several Allied Nations relief workers hostage and is demanding a massive ransom. An AN task force led by Colonel William Guile (Jean-Claude Van Damme) swoops in to intervene, with the help of martial arts con men Ken (Damian Chapa) and Ryu (Byron Mann). Meanwhile, reporter Chun-Li (Ming-Na Wen) is trying to get her own vengeance on Bison.
Street Fighter is now in theaters. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
Release Date December 23, 1994
Runtime 102 minutes
Director Steven E. de Souza
