The live-action Street Fighter film is rated PG-13 for violence/action, bloody images, strong language, sexual references, partial nudity and brief smoking. This pre-release guide covers the official details; a full breakdown follows after the October 16 opening.

What parents need to know

  • This is a pre-release guide: the film opens October 16, 2026, and a full scene-level breakdown will be added after release.
  • The MPA rated it PG-13 for violence/action, bloody images, strong language, sexual references, partial nudity and brief smoking.
  • The story is a martial-arts tournament with a deadly conspiracy, so expect extended fight scenes. The rating's mention of 'bloody images' signals that the fights are not bloodless.
  • 'Strong language' and 'sexual references' are both listed, which makes this stronger than a typical family-friendly PG-13 adventure.
  • Brief partial nudity is cited by the MPA; the context has not been described yet.
  • The video games it adapts are rated Teen by the ESRB, so younger fans may ask to see it. PG-13 means parents are strongly cautioned for children under 13.
  • The film runs roughly two hours and is a Paramount release produced by Legendary Pictures and Capcom.

What's the story?

Set in 1993, Street Fighter follows estranged fighters Ryu and Ken Masters, who are pulled back into combat when Chun-Li recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament. A deadly conspiracy behind the tournament forces the two to face each other and the demons of their pasts. The cast also brings in other characters from Capcom's long-running game series, including Guile, Blanka, Balrog, Akuma and the villain M. Bison.

Is it any good?

This is a pre-release guide. Street Fighter opens in U.S. theaters on October 16, 2026, so it relies on official information: the MPA rating, the studio synopsis, the game franchise it adapts and the filmmakers. A full content breakdown will follow after release, and we will not guess at scenes before then. The film is a Paramount Pictures release produced by Legendary Pictures and Capcom, directed by Kitao Sakurai. Andrew Koji plays Ryu, Noah Centineo plays Ken, Callina Liang plays Chun-Li, and the cast includes Jason Momoa as Blanka, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson as Balrog, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison and Roman Reigns as Akuma. It is the third live-action Street Fighter feature after the 1994 and 2009 films, both of which were also rated PG-13. The MPA rated it PG-13 for violence/action, bloody images, strong language, sexual references, partial nudity and brief smoking. That is a busier list than a typical teen action movie. 'Bloody images' suggests the fights will leave visible blood, 'strong language' (rather than brief or mild) suggests more than a stray curse, and partial nudity and sexual references are both named. We do not yet have scene-level detail, so we cannot say how long or graphic any of it is. The Street Fighter 6 video game is rated Teen by the ESRB, which gives a rough sense of the franchise's tone, but a movie rating is a separate decision. Our provisional call is Yellow: not for elementary-age kids, and a likely fit for teens 13 and up who already handle PG-13 action, with borderline cases best decided after the full breakdown is posted. Younger fans of the games may ask to go, and PG-13 means parents are strongly cautioned for children under 13. The film runs about two hours.

Conversation starters for after watching together.

  • Fighting games and martial-arts movies can make combat look cool. How is on-screen fighting different from real violence?
  • The two lead fighters are estranged at the start. What makes it hard to repair a broken friendship?
  • Video-game movies often change the games they adapt. What would you want to stay the same, and what would you change?
  • When a movie is PG-13 for several different reasons (violence, language, partial nudity), how do you decide whether it is right for you?
