Sagat/Pop Culture

This is a page listing Sagat ' s references in general pop culture since his debut in the original Street Fighter.

Capcom games

 * Sagat bears a heavy resemblance to fellow Capcom villain Sigma of the Mega Man X series, especially his facial features.


 * A part of Sagat's theme can be heard in Asura's Wrath in Lost Episode 1, when Ryu appears.


 * In the Capcom vs. SNK series when Sagat defeats an enemy, he sometimes makes a reference to the original Street Fighter by saying; "Try again, kid." This is also one of Sagat's winning quotes in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix

Movies

 * Tong Po, the main villain from the 1989 film Kickboxer, bears some similarities to Sagat. Like Sagat, Tong Po's height towers over most of his opponents (although in Sagat's case, this is extreme), he is bald and he is also the Muay Thai champion of Thailand.
 * It should also be noted that this film also stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, who portrayed William F. Guile in the 1994 Street Fighter film.

Internet

 * One of Sagat's lines in the cartoon series ("You like... some cornflakes?") is the subject of an internet meme.
