Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist, known in Japan as Street Fighter: Ansatsuken (Japanese: ストリートファイター 暗殺拳 Hepburn: Sutorīto Faitā Ansatsuken?) is a British live-action web series, TV series and feature film in the martial arts film genre developed by director, fight choreographer, writer, actor and martial artist Joey Ansah and actor, writer and martial artist Christian Howard. Based on the popular video game series by Capcom, Street Fighter, the story focuses on Ryu and Ken as they uncover the past of their master, Gouken, and learn the secrets of their Dark Art, Ansatsuken.
The web series format was released on Machinima's YouTube channel on May 23, 2014 while the subsequent formats (TV & DVD/Blu-ray) were released later the same year, and IFC Films released the film on January 7, 2015.
The short film Street Fighter: Legacy, a passion project for Joey Ansah and Christian Howard, was released on YouTube in 2010 as a proof-of-concept. During San Diego Comic-Con International 2012 Capcom announced it had granted rights to the creators to go ahead with the project. The budget of this movie was a record setting $100 as the producer was homeless and the actors were his friends. He got the cameras and the production team from the money his ex employer gave him as a donation.
