This movie needs Gary Busey, Michael bay and a big faking robot.

Jimbo4

You know who should be M. Bison?
Bolo Yeung! He's pretty much the biggest most baddest assed Asian guy ever!
But that would be a much more quieter Bison and much more hardcore fighter Bison. he's still a badass!

DonFubar

@TheChosen: It can ONLY end in tears.

Krytha

This movie looks like is going to suck already. My cast would look like this.

M.Bison - Sergio Lopez- (Pan's Labyrinth)
Guile - John Cena - (WWE)
Chung-LI -Ziyi Zhang- (crouching tiger)
Ryu - Andy On - ( The Kumite)
Ken - Paul walker- (fast and the furious)
zangief- the big show- (WWE)
Vega - Taboo - (black eyed Peas)
Balrog -clark Duncan - (green mile)
Fei-Long -Vaness Wu -(the kumite)
Cammy - Holly Vance- (dead or alive)
Deejay -Elijah Burke-(WWE)
E.Honda - Akebono -(sumo wrestler great)
dalshin-rodrigo Santoro-(300 persian emperator Xerxes)
T.hawk - the great Khali-(wwe)
Blanka -Lateef Crowder-(The protector)capoeira expert!

I'll post the rest of the cast later. check this people on youtube trust me you will be satisfied.

WHY GOD WHY

Vileyaser

You had me at Kristen Kreuk.

phalanges

Ok, here you go. If you haven't seen sither of these movies you should watch them. No matter how bad this new Street Fighter is gonna be in pales in comparison to the both of these.

+ Watch video

+ Watch video

Both of these are funny but the Korean one is just plain horrible. The Chinese on (Future Cops) is half way decent given the time it was made.

Tactiks

@misc.insanity:

Norris was a joke, lol. as far as Guile goes what about that guy who played in Casino Royal? The rest I could see but what about good old Blanka. I guess all you really need is some guy in green make up and there you go, haha.

Tactiks

@Tactiks:
My picks:
Ken- Chuck Norris, seriously? He's way too old. I'd go with... Owen Wilson, maybe (he has starred alongside Jackie Chan, after all)
Zangief- John Rhys-Davies
Dhalsim- Ben Kingsley?
Guile- Anthony Michael Hall

I guess Jet Li could work as Gouki, but he'd need a lot of CG/makeup to be Akuma.

misc.insanity

@OstegoAmigo1: Dragonball is actually shaping up to be, from all that's been released to the public, surprisingly good.

It's being directed by a decent director, production is being overseen by the guy who directed Shaolin Soccer and Kung-Fu Hustle, and it's being based on the earlier arcs of the manga which are more about adventure and comedy, and have more down-to-earth fighting. The stunt team coordinator is the same that worked on 300 and The Matrix, and the special effects are done by the same people that worked on 300, Sin City, and Sky Captain and the World of Tommorow, to name a few.

To top it all off, they've got a decent cast, and even managed to get ahold of Chow Yun Fat, which is pretty crazy.

Suzaku

You know what will be bad? Wanting to know which will suck more. This movie or the Dragonball movie.

OstegoAmigo1

@Kcet:

Just looked it up..... 136 movies, Damn son! I've got a lot to catch up on.

Tactiks

@Kcet:

House of Flying Daggers is the only one I can think of right now. I know there has been one or two more. I was in Vegas and I seen a box set for Jackie, Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat and Andy Lau. I wanted the mso bad but Andy had a shit load of movies I have not seen yet. I will have to look on IMDB and see what movies he's done that I have not seen.

Tactiks

@goddessakasha: Yeah, uh how did we go from suave, charming Spanish Bullfighter to ugly-ass backup pop singer?

Why the hell do they keep shifting the focus away from Ryu and Ken. They ARE pretty much the story of Street Fighter. And thank you Hollywood for once again casting some white girl as an Asian protagonist. It's F&F: Tokyo Drift all over again.

And Chris Klein? Has he ever made a good movie?

Thumbs down.

Leftoverz

Y'know, it might not be bad. I just think everyone here is jumping the gun. I'll judge the movie when it comes out.

lv1shinobi

I don't see it. I can't picture him as Bison.

KM91

Zhang Ziyi could work as Chun-Li, but they're gonna have to CGI her "onion!"

seriously, Zhang Ziyi, eat a box of Cinnabons... right effin' now!

rainofwalrus [XBL]

@Kcet: haha yeah, best horrible dialogue in the history of cinema.

I can't believe the Zangief getting paid line hasn't been thrown out here yet:

Zangief: General Bison is a bad guy? If you know then why do you work for him?

Dee Jay: Because he paid me a freakin fortune, man! If you know what's good for you you'll save your own ass!

Zangief: ...you got paid?

lol

@dcman007:
Street Fighter: Kristen Kreuk Edition. "If you pause right here, you can see her panties!"

willyolio

Vega has always been my favorite streetfighter character... i threw up in my mouth reading "taboo" will be playing him in the upcoming "movie". How the hell can anyone see this dude play vega? no, really? Why not just put carrot top in the movie? he can be dhalsim.

CancerMan

This will be the single greatest movie in cinematic history and will be studied at A-level. Or it might just be shite like the first one!

dcman007

@Pezdispenser: @Madeira: lol the movie might not have been to great, but damnit if it didn't have such memorable horrible lines XD
@Garo: probably letting film makers make crappy vg movies and tons of people watching them, only to support their idea that they went about making the movie the right way.
@Tactiks: id say thats a pretty good list so far. Never thought about Andy Lau as bison, but he seriously owns the shit out of acting. One of my favorite actors, and clearly plays a good bad guy/bad ass. I cant think of any movies where he was a bad guy at this time but as far as bad-assery goes, my case in point is fulltime killer XD

and now to continue with the slow stream of sf the movie quotes XD: "I guess you didn't see that did you?" (covers eye with hand)

Kcet

it´s the end of times...

Dragon Ball and SF in the same year!! hauhauhauhauuahuahuahauhuah

lucasreis

"I'm going to kick Bison's ass so harrrrd. That the next Bison wannabe is going to feel it." Hey, Mr. McDonough, good luck getting your ass kicked, in the new movie and at the box office.

reywing

I seocnd combining it with the Dragonball movie. Street Fighter: The Legend of Dragonball. But preferably the first SF movie.

Guile and Picollo team up to save America from Frieza and Bison. What could go wrong? What the HELL could go wrong?

SuperMaxZero

@Channing: Have you seen Kristin Kreuk? She's way better-looking (IMO) and closer to Chun-Li's look than Lucy Liu. So maybe she's only half-Chinese, but to be fair, Chun-Li (in-game) hardly looks Chinese.

P.S. Kristin Kreuk, the ONLY TV/Film star I've ever been obsessed with. So, perhaps I have a bit of bias.

JohnnytheFuture

Can they just make street fighter the letr years into a movie (i think thats the name of that series lol). Those are much better then what this movie will be . lol

majortom1981

People! How can we forget this brilliant casting?

mydogisdexter

@PaulMorel: Walking Tall was fun. Course, people will hate on anything The Rock stars in. But I think he can deliver some roles, like that. So yea the movie was definitely worth watching. Entertainment, solely. :)

Candlejack

Am I the only one who loves this guy?

OK, I only know him from two productions, but I love them both.

Band of Brothers = possibly the best WWII movie/miniseries ever

Walking Tall = best action movie since ... possibly forever

Don't get me wrong, it's impossible to confuse Walking Tall with The Godfather, but the movie is still 90 minutes of action movie awesomeness.

Anyway, I'm sure that the new Street Fighter movie will suck, but I can vouch for this actor.

PaulMorel

Neal McDonough was great in walking tall! he was all like, look at me I'm evil!!

excel_excel

Hasn't history taught us a lesson?

Remember the first *vomit* Street Fighter movie?

Solidsky

I like that guy. Don't know why. But any movie or series I saw him in, I liked him.

Candlejack

@Benjo: you're comment made me think of the comic book guy on the Simpson's. lol

NexusSIX

Worst casting ever.

Benjo

I think Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog is good, he is a good actor in my opinion.

Taboo as Vega, lol but the guy playing bison is a decent actor, this could turn out to be just ok.

WolfGod

[Plugs ears] LA-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-!

Ummm... I thought Vega was supposed to be really good looking?

@crescentfresh:

"ohhh look at me I'm in a big time movie". LMAO J/K on you girl. This will probably ruin her career.

Tactiks

@cactaur:
Yeah I thought it looked real good and I loved the Alpha series but this anime didn't do it for me, not like the first movie did. I still enjoyed seeing the characters in action and the special effects.

I did like the series Street Fighter V. I watch it every once in a while when I need my SF fix.

Tactiks

The scariest thing to me is that Kristin Kreuk thinks this is a step up from Smallville.

crescentfresh

@NexusSIX:

That's cool >_<
I wonder what other countries called it?!

Tactiks

the first movie was bad enough to kill Raul Julia, let's hope it's not an indication of things to come...

daklog

@Tactiks: Stupid robot kid brother aside, I thought the art and action for SF Alpha was pretty decent.

cactaur

@Tactiks: Yeah that's what everyone called it in Toronto area, when SFII first came out. I don't think the machine had instructions to play, so everyone called it moon kick.

NexusSIX

Eyem going to kick (pause) that SONFABEESH Bison's ass SO HORD (long pause) that the next Bison WHANNABE (even longer pause) isgonnafeelit

Madeira

I wonder if Guile is going to get that son of beeeeaaach.

DasKonstruct

@NexusSIX:

LMAO, "Moon Kick" I have never heard that one before. I like it ;)

Tactiks

@NexusSIX:

LMAO, I have never heard that one before. I like it ;)

Tactiks

@cactaur:
They tried that with Alpha and it was not very good.

Tactiks

@Agies: Yeah, when I first saw that headline I was wondering why they hadn't hired a black guy to play the part, then I remembered Bison is the last boss to most people. I shouldn't have imported the Japanese versions of SF2 for the Super Famicom... :)

photoboy

I've pretty much lost touch with the whole Streetfighter series, but will most likely get the new Streetfighers. But from what I remember, is that Ryu was always the center of the story. Everyone else just had their own reason for hating M.Bison. So if you played as Guile all the time, of course he is going to seem like the hero of the game. *painful flashbacks of sonic boom/moon kick cheese* *not that fireball fireball fireball uppercut wasn't just as cheesy*

NexusSIX

So they cast a guy who looks like Geese Howard to play M. Bison.

The Capcom/SNK incest continues.

Steel_Pelican

They tried that with Alpha and it was not very good.

Tactiks

Taboo is playing Vega, excuse me while I have a laugh people. xD

Gas Powered Goose

And also Two Faced DA from Boomtown. As it is I don't feel SF can make the transition to live action. I'd settle for another animated movie.

cactaur

Dude Buck Compton from Band of Brothers. Fuck yes.

CaptainMurphy

BIIISSSOOONNNN!!!

cebukid

@LoopyChew: Wow, best description ever.

Donutt007

I like the guy a bunch too. He was pretty awesome in Ravenous, and of course in Band of Brothers. I even particularly enjoyed his performance in Minority Report. So basically, everything I've seen him in - he's done an awesome job.

amazinglarry

My God, it's as if Uwe Boll and Matt Damon had a Satanic love child.

LoopyChew

I really don't like this man in anything he has ever done.

@loempiavreter:

That's what is so good about the series is that it appealed to everyone, everyone is a hero and has some sort of revenge or reason for being there. You could make a dozen or so movies on every character if you wanted to. I am soooooo sad they are making this the wrong way. They needed to get fan input and creator input before throwing something this epic out. They are screwing with something they don't know about and the sad part is they will make a lot of money because everyone will either see it in the theater of buy the DVD. So sad :(

Tactiks

actors.@evslin:

Hells yeah, great movie. He's one of my favorite actors ;)

Tactiks

@Tactiks: Andy Lau was great in Infernal Affairs. Loved that movie.

evslin

Nothing like a skinny, blond haired, blue eyed guy to play a muscle bound Thai (or whatever not arayanish decent M. Bison is).

Still, he looks better than emo Goku. But that's saying almost nothing...

VicViper

Wah wah wah, why are they ruining my childhood?? My memories are so fragile that anything new will simply kill me! Wah! As a fan, I feel I am entitled to better! How could they cast that guy -- he does not look like M. Bison, wahh!!!

animagnum

Isn't she like half hawaiian and half alaskan, some crazy mix.

RET_Ghost

@Channing: Ah, Kreuk is of Chinese decent.

Hauler

He is a good actor. Got first noticed in Band of Brothers which was fantastic on all fronts. I have liked his performances in pretty much everything I have seen him in.

Tactiks

From the thumbnail at first I thought it was Matt Damon with blonde hair. I don't know much about his movie career though, but from the Wiki it seems like he's already been in a few movies that I seen. I don't remember him so for me it doesn't say much for him or his acting.

Trowble (XBL/PSN)

The anime had a strong Guile/Chun Li story but it also had Ryu as a strong story as well. Really, Ryu as a central story isn't all that exciting unless you concentrate on the Ryu/Ken aspect. Other than that he is just walking the earth which isn't the best story. I think the mix of the two worked well in the anime.

penetraitor

I know! Why are the Japanese or Chinese not doing these movies. If the American movie studios were smart they would hire a good Chinese director to make the movie and let them do all the casting and directing and sit back and cash in on the world wide release of a hit movie.

Tactiks

@Tactiks:

Exactly that's the main story for the Street Fighter series, however he isn't the "Hero" of SFII. It was always unclear who was, for certain Ryu never made it into the finals thanks to Ken.

Guile is a very good conteder for the "Hero" after all he wants revenge for Nash's death. Though we all know how Bison ended at the hands of Gouki.

loempiavreter

I still find it hard to accept that his movie is being made but not much more than the Dragon Ball movie.

okenny :)

Raul Julia, was a good Bison but he's not around anymore :(

Tactiks

No! The main story is about Ryu trying to find the ultimate fight. The American abolishment that was Street Fighter the movie made it all about Guile so Van Dam could get Paid along with the Producers, Sell outs!

Tactiks

Nooooooooooooooo! Do Not Want!

Salen

@NexusSIX:

Wasn't Guile the main character in the SFII story? He or Chun Li.

It wasn't about Ryu for sure.

loempiavreter

Raul Julia would not be amused... Neal McDonough will surely have a huge work filling in his footsteps. Tabooo is right at home with is part, tough.

Shiryu

Here's my cast for this movie to be any good.

Director, Yuen Woo Ping
Ryu, Donnie Yen
Ken, Chuck Norris, lol
Guile, Keanu Reeves?
Chun Li, Zhang Ziyi
Balrog (M. Bison), I think Michael Clarke Duncan will do good.
Vega (Balrog), Taboo looks to fill that look.
M. Bison (Vega), Andy Lau
Zangief, Arnold would be great if you could get him, lol.
Chun Li's Trainer(Jen), Jackie Chan
E. Honda, ?
Blanka, ?
and
Akuma (Gouki), Jet Li.

Fell free to input your ideas cause I am missing a few here. This cast would make for a good movie. You have a mix of American and Asian actors so it can reach both Cultures.

Tactiks

@Nex Antonius:

I was really expecing that to end in "overlords."

Channing

I, for one, welcome our new M. Bison

Nex Antonius

she'll need to hit the thighmaster hard. The only good Street fighter movie has been the anime. And not the rap rock soundtrack english dubbed crapfest, the hot chun li shower scene original language version. That was a good movie. Thank you for a beautiful time.

penetraitor

Oh boy, what have we done to be punished this way?

Garo

Could they seriously not get Lucy Liu to play Chun Li? I mean, they are both, you know, CHINESE!
I would pay the 40 dollars or whatever it costs for a theatre showing these days if I got to see my Chun-li Lucy Liu.

Channing

Kristin Kreuk as Chung Li, that in itself is an epic failure.

She is hot but her small body just doesnt have what it takes to pull of a chung li.

Why do they not even bother to try in these movies?

Viet0ne

movie will be terrible. This actor looks the part though.

I'm so waiting for this epic movie...

No, that was not an open invitation for "over 9000".

Aw, shit.

Epic fail? I think so.

Twyst

This movie makes me lose faith that their will ever be a decent video game to movie adaption.

@NexusSIX: Guile being star was a total "AMERICA.....FARK YEAAAHH!!!!!!" moment

It bombed before it even dropped (sigh)

king0v10GU

To quote the other Street Fighter Movie, "Quick! Change the Channel!"

Pezdispenser

'The Legend of Chun-Li'... great. Yeah, let's go with that. Perfect.

I'm sure it was a toss up between that and 'The Chun-Li Chronicles'.

Madeira

@axiom: Oh, it's agreed it will suck. It's also agreed that it generate hundreds of millions of dollars. Rock beats scissors, paper beats rock, revenue beats integrity.

TitillatedOcelot

It might not be the worst thing ever if they don't go way over the top with it. Like not dressing M. Bison in that ridiculous outfit. Even after they do things like that it will probably raise the bar to just being bad.

RET_Ghost

@Samuraidino: Actually, Raul Julia was horrible, in fact the whole movie was horrible, what a way to end the legacy of Raul Julia. Guile being the star of the movie *shakes head*.

NexusSIX

I seriously can NOT wait for this move. This and the DBZ movie.
I wonder how many memes will be spun out of those two movies?
No, that was not an open invitation for "over 9000".

Channing

@sgboy: Ah I forgot to mention that I read about his role in a local newspaper. Can't find any links on the internet to back up my claim :(

sgboy

Bring back Raul Julia....somehow.Sure itd be hard work bringing him back from the dead...but he was the best damn thing in the first one,

Tom Clancy's Samuraidino

They should just combine this movie with the dragonball movie and get the suckiest shit ever award now.

kyosuke9999

I've seen him acting a couple of times, and I must say they could have done a lot worse...
Does anyone else think this guy should have been Agent 47 in the Hitman flick? You cannot see it on this pic, but his face and that of 47 look quite the same.

That's not a bad casting. Just put some contacts on him and he can rock some evil pretty well.
