The live-action Street Fighter movie’s filming locations, explained

Production planted its flag in Australia. According to the film ’s IMDb page, Street Fighter shot across a handful of Sydney standouts, mixing studio work with real-world backdrops fans will recognize once the punches start flying.

• Disney Studios Australia — soundstages for the tournament- scale builds
• Luna Park — the harborside amusement park
• Maroubra Beach — coastal stretches tailor‑made for wind‑swept showdowns
• Carriageworks — the industrial arts complex

Filming ran August 18 through November 12, 2025, in and around Sydney, Australia.

Story-wise, the movie brings estranged sparring partners Ryu and Ken Masters back together when Chun‑Li recruits them for the World Warrior Tournament—only to uncover a hidden conspiracy that pits them against enemies and each other.

Early trailers lean hard into game-accurate techniques, flashing staples like the Shoryuken, Dhalsim’s aerial Yoga Mummy, Chun‑Li’s Hundred Lightning Kicks, Balrog’s Buffalo Headbutt, the Dragonlash Kick, and E. Honda’s Hundred Hand Slaps.
