Street Fighter is Raul Julia's greatest movie

No, really.  Think about it. We all know he's a great actor that he gave his soul for every performance, but Street Fighter is still his best movie. Some people will mention  Onassis, Romero, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Addams Family as much better movies and they would be correct that those are better movies than Street Fighter. but Julia's performance in Street Fighter surpasses all of them.

Think about it. Who's the most memorable character in that movie?

He was campy and scenery chewing when it was needed and could add gravitas to the role when it was required...


Not only all of this, but performing and doing action scenes while being fatally ill, THAT is dedication to the craft. (I know that Down came a blackbird was his final final performance, but it was a drama and we know of his LEGENDARY dramatic chops, and he had a great cast.)

Think about it: Street Fighter  is a really bad movie. Raul Julia literally carried the entire movie on his back, WHILE BEING FATALLY ILL. That is why I think that Street Fighter is his greatest movie...  because without Raul Julia you have nothing. Well maybe a generic Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. In all of his other movies he had great cast members that could carry the movie with him but not Street Fighter.
