What happens

Future Cops (Chinese: 超級學校霸王; literal title: Super-School Tyrant) is a 1993 Hong Kong action-comedy film loosely based on Capcom's fighting game Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (1991), starring an ensemble cast of Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Chingmy Yau, Dicky Cheung and Simon Yam. It was the second live-action film to feature characters inspired by the Street Fighter series, the first being City Hunter starring Jackie Chan, which was also directed by Wong Jing, but released six months earlier. The following year the official adaptation Street Fighter: The Ultimate Battle was released. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
