The new M. Bison is...

First by Mattyboy122	Mar 20th, 2008 02:23:44 AM
Why are they making another one of these?
First! by Nefariouss	Mar 20th, 2008 02:23:47 AM

1994 movie is genius by HEADGEEK	Mar 20th, 2008 02:24:36 AM
as was Raul Julia's brilliant performance! And it was partly written by the great Paul Dini... it is a camp classic!
Nefariouss by Mattyboy122	Mar 20th, 2008 02:25:38 AM
Sorry man. Haha. I almost didn't post at all, since I have little/no interest in another Street Fighter movie, but I saw the opportunity to be first in a talkback (something I've never been before), so I just went for it. Anyway, this guy's a good actor (Ravenous rules), but I doubt this film will break the mold of video game movies sucking big time.
can't be first by master bitchfist	Mar 20th, 2008 02:28:22 AM
in a talkback if you write that long of a message pal, go for a FIRST....well first, then type your actual message ;)
It's cool EXCEPT!!!!! by Nefariouss	Mar 20th, 2008 02:28:54 AM
ravenous rules???? seriously??? that must be one of THE worst movies I have ever seen (and I even seen lot's of shitty international movies) As for this movie, I like this guy, but it all rests on the shoulders of Ryu and Ken really, then need to find the right actors....with the right story (it can actually be good, at least in MY mind).
I actually sat through the original in a cinema. by foreverguardian	Mar 20th, 2008 02:32:49 AM
...and I've regretted it ever since, apart from whenever Ming na Wen was on screen ;) Is Guile going to 'kick that bastard Bison's ass' in a Belgian accent this time?
If only... by uVa	Mar 20th, 2008 02:50:41 AM
...Jean-Claude Van Damme reprised his role as Guile. Because that casting made sense, ya know?
I like this dude but weird casting by messi	Mar 20th, 2008 02:51:41 AM
Can't wait to see who they cast as E.Honda.
Daniel Day-Lewis is.......... Blanka by messi	Mar 20th, 2008 02:54:05 AM

Not all Video Games Movies Suck.. by CeejayNightwing	Mar 20th, 2008 02:57:17 AM
But this one is bound to BIG-TIME! Why, Why, Why would you cast Kristin Kreuk in anything except maybe a Smallville movie? She is a walking stick-insect, she has no body or curves to suggest one; and they pick her to play Chun Li, a character who has all the curves and the thunder thighs to emphasize them! That alone tells you where this film is going.. to box office hell.
McDonough is too good for this shit by Mullah Omar	Mar 20th, 2008 03:01:09 AM
So was Raul Julia. I hope they both got paid shitloads because there is no way this can be satisfying on any other level.
As a Street Fighter fan... by Satyrgreen	Mar 20th, 2008 03:01:14 AM
This thing seems like it's just taking the same road as the first film. I know many of you aren't really "into" the Street Fighter storyline but it is a really cool good vs. evil martial arts saga(as cool as that can be anyway). My understanding is that this film is going to be based on Chun Li and all the other characters will take a back seat. Now I know I'm going to sound like a crazy man but that is like making a Star Wars movie and centering the whole thing on Leia, and then leaving Luke and Han out completly. The Street Fighter story is about Ryu and Ken, but hey lets cash in on the "hot chick kicking ass" as our lead thing. Anyway after posting this mammothly nerdy comment I'll probably never get laid again... P.S. Check out the Udon Comics Street Fighter series ad see why this is a pretty good occult martial arts story.
CHRIS KLEIN!?!?!!!! by second cousin of phartegod	Mar 20th, 2008 03:07:39 AM
See, that's just seppuku right there. Hiring Chris Klein on any movie, no matter what size role, is like shooting yourself in the head with a shotgun. There's no chance of this movie being successful. Ever. Unless Van Damme and Chuckie boy "I Eat Babies" Norris have anything to do about it.
WHAT THE FUCK by bottombrick	Mar 20th, 2008 03:08:09 AM
1994 movie was genius? I can't believe my eyes. I'm not at all picky when it comes to crappy action fare, I loved Mortal Kombat, and really dug that street fighter anime with the 90s rock soundtrack, but the fucking 94 live action street fighter, are you serious? that shit KILLED Raul Julia (HORRIBLE casting by the way, M.Bison is diabolical, but he's also a semi-roided out psychotic street-FIGHTER, not an eloquent mouth piece with some gadgets), not to mention killed my main man Jean Claude's career. Ryu is supposed to be the protaganist anyway (and that ryu was a pussy) not some american douche bag - whether or not he can make tricks with bricks. This is probably the only movie in the history of movies that would have been better if that cracker who directed Mortal Kombat hacked it out.
NO SIMON PEGG?!! by skywalkerfamily	Mar 20th, 2008 03:11:05 AM
I guess he was busy.
How they gonna do this without making it look cosplayish? by Orionsangels	Mar 20th, 2008 03:11:56 AM
or worse like the 94 turd!
And Raul Julia did the movie by bottombrick	Mar 20th, 2008 03:12:04 AM
because his kids liked the game, so that was what satisfaction he took from the role, till it killed his ass. satyrgreen = knows what hes talking about.
Jean Claude Van Damages everything he stars in.. by CeejayNightwing	Mar 20th, 2008 03:14:22 AM
You'd have to be insane to want to cast him again as Guile, he's not Blonde and STILL can't speak English properly! How is he convincing playing any part as an American? He's about as convincing as Arnold Schwarznegger playing Mr Freeze! I'm with Krack - Thomas Jane would have made a great Guile.
Satyrgreen is actually right... by CeejayNightwing	Mar 20th, 2008 03:28:42 AM
This film being titled Streetfighter: The legend of Chun Li.. Seems to be going off on the wrong path just like that 1994 bollocks with Jean Claude Van Act-less and Kylie Mini-woman. Streetfighter is predominantly a story about Ken and Ryu, the other characters are basically formed around them. This film is doomed again because it's trying to redefine something already time-honoured and definitive. Besides, is this game still even popular enough for anyone to care about another shit movie? I'd be far more interested in a Tekken or Sould Blade/Calibur flick.
Heading way off tangent, again... by Crawing	Mar 20th, 2008 03:33:55 AM
Still don't understand why they didn't just do it in the style of Bloodsport. Why wrap the whole thing up in some military mission bollocks? Just set it in a fighting arena and keep it simple. Cool OTT fights with OTT characters.
Best M.Bison I can come up with by bottombrick	Mar 20th, 2008 03:34:04 AM
is Sergi Lopez (Captain Vidal from Pan's Labyrnth). That fascist cunt could be dark as fuck, and still bring the right sort of physicality to it, if he's limber.
You are so right about the bloodsport angle by bottombrick	Mar 20th, 2008 03:38:13 AM
Thats who Ryu is, except actually japanese and a little less humble, but totally dedicated to his training/fighting. Guile is a heavy, trying to deal with his issues and get revenge but doesn't have pure fighting spirit.
Harry, your definition of 'genius'... by BiggusDickus	Mar 20th, 2008 03:43:55 AM
...appears to equate with my own of 'crap'. How strange is that?
Ravenous is fan-fucking-tastic by Gwai Lo	Mar 20th, 2008 03:50:42 AM
Anyone who disagrees is out of their gourd
RAVENOUS is a solid film by acorvey25	Mar 20th, 2008 03:54:05 AM
It suffers from its low-budget but has some effective and memorable sequences (not to mention a supremely kick-ass score).
Robert Z'Dar is the best actor for Bison... by Monkey_King	Mar 20th, 2008 04:07:10 AM
Debra Ling for Chun Li. What's this Kruek nonsense? She's only half Chinese and skinny as a rail.
Just because the '94 flick was a bad adaptation... by Shermdawg	Mar 20th, 2008 04:12:10 AM

...doesn't mean it was a bad film. by Shermdawg	Mar 20th, 2008 04:12:36 AM
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Fr6 xjbGc2XY That scene right there, is stuff of legend.
Only good thing by Varakor	Mar 20th, 2008 04:13:27 AM
about the first street fighter flick was Raul Julia's performance as Bison. Other than that I try to wash my mind of the first flick. I have high hopes about the second. I mean Kristen Kruek, plus can it get any worse? Can it!!?

they gotta have that scene in there.
To me....it was Tuesday by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Mar 20th, 2008 04:39:30 AM
One of my favorite lines ever in perhaps the worst video game adaption ever. Harry mate, Super Mario Brothers is a camp classic. Streetfighter is so bad its plain fuckin awful. I actually had a friend who had seen it at the movies talk me into going with him for his second viewing. I have never forgiven him and still use it against him to blow his film opinions out of the water.
I tell ya what though, if they did this shot for shot... by Shermdawg	Mar 20th, 2008 04:39:46 AM
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZAN QrCqht84 The film would probably get an automatic free pass from a hell of a lot of Street Fighter fanboys, including this one.
Well, Kruek is beautiful. by TattooedBillionaire	Mar 20th, 2008 04:52:19 AM
Nothing else to see here. I saw the first film in theaters - one of the worst movie experiences ever.
oh and Ravenous is great fun by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Mar 20th, 2008 05:18:11 AM
The soundtrack is fantastic, great performances from an amazing cast and a deadly hilarious script "You know, if you die first, I am definetely gonna eat you". Hahahahahah..
Kylie Minogue by tonagan	Mar 20th, 2008 05:45:08 AM
I enjoy her in so many ways.
yeah Minogue is one fine piece of ass. by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Mar 20th, 2008 05:48:09 AM

Could have been a good Bison, but I am glad he isn't going to be attached. We all know how this movie is going to turn out.

this movie is going to suck by Gungan Slayer	Mar 20th, 2008 06:44:03 AM
sad too, because I really do believe you can make an awesome Street Fighter movie. whatever, Street Fighter IV is coming out soon, and I can't wait.
he can pull off the look very well by couP	Mar 20th, 2008 06:44:35 AM
no hopes for the movie being anything but crap though
I by ur-vile	Mar 20th, 2008 06:45:12 AM
Definately a camp classic. I'd love to see a musicial adaptation too! Street Fighter: The Movie: The Musicial: The Movie. I tell ya, it'd be fucking brilliant.

Ravenous sucked by Series7	Mar 20th, 2008 07:15:30 AM
Street Fighter G.I.Joes ruled. This guy makes a decent cast, he is in the up coming 88 minutes. Would've rather had Jürgen Prochnow from like 10-15 years ago. I have a foundness for the original though, mainly because its one of the few movies I saw in theaters with just my dad. But if Andrew Bryniarski is still in shape they should seriously bring him back to play Zangief. He was probably the only part of the first movie that worked. I mean Zangief was a joke in the game anyway.
Has anyone played just by Series7	Mar 20th, 2008 07:17:39 AM
Street Fighter? Not Street Fighter II, but the original Street Fighter in the arcade? Where all you could be was Ryu or Ken? I remember staying at some randome hotel and they had it in there arcade, that I was like WTF is this? Because I had just assumed that Street Fighter II was always the first one for some reason.
How come the "Filmmakers" did not cast some MARTIAL ARTS dudes.. by travis-dane	Mar 20th, 2008 07:19:23 AM
Like Donnie Yen or Jet Li?Nobody of the actual cast can do MA.SHIT!
Also Street Fighter Soundtrack by Series7	Mar 20th, 2008 07:19:38 AM
Who remembers the M.C. Hammer song for the film? Or the awesome video with J.C.V.D. in it? I remember once seeing the movie packaged with the soundtrack, having not bought it is probably one of the biggest regeats I've ever had to live with.

Thats a whole 26 cents less then what I paid for MC Hammer's last album Active Duty. Forgot about the duet with Neon Dion Sanders on the SF soundtrack. POP Yo Collar, MAN. I SAY POP YO COLLAR. POP! POP! YO COLLAR! Hopefully they let him do the song for this new Street Fighter.

McDonough is Better Than This Material by cowboyone	Mar 20th, 2008 07:58:28 AM

I thought that was Matt Damon... by Anna Valerious	Mar 20th, 2008 08:17:52 AM
Although, they should keep that M. Bison as John Wayne Gacy portrait from the first one. XD
Shit, I always pegged Neal McDonough for playing Duke by Stalkeye	Mar 20th, 2008 08:19:13 AM
in a live action GIJoe movie since he closely resembles the iconic Top kick or First shirt. Javier Bardem would be more convincing as M.Bison IMO. Alas, the casting powers are not within my hands.
raul julia clearly made the last flick by RockLobster800	Mar 20th, 2008 08:20:35 AM

Thomas Jane would have made a great Guile, by Stalkeye	Mar 20th, 2008 08:23:40 AM
but he's in a bit of trouble after being arrested for a DUI recently. I guess hw's still upset over the career dive that was The Punisher.The Mist did'nt help that much either.

Street Fighter the Movie..ahh memories. by Stalkeye	Mar 20th, 2008 08:30:58 AM
..of two of my best friends choking me from both sides in the threater while the credits rolled.(Due to my suggestion that we check this turd of a film out.) Bad acting, worse script,followed by such non canon source material and you have a very shitty film.Mortal Kombat was better, but not by that much thanks to Paul WS Anderson rating it PG-13 so that the kiddies can see it. (WTF?) To call SF genius is to call Uwe Boll's Bloodrayne,Alone in the dark or House of the dead (you take your pick)extrodinary. Nuff fuckin' said.
Yeah he's also in trouble for... by Series7	Mar 20th, 2008 08:31:50 AM

The 94 movie was like a parody of video game movies by SilentP	Mar 20th, 2008 08:43:09 AM
Before video game movies were even being made. Seriously, it's so weird. It genuinely seems like they were trying to parody the movies that would come out later. I suppose it's also possible they were trying to parody the game? Either way, I've never been able to figure out what exactly they were thinking when they made that thing, but it is indeed a brilliant, hilarious movie.
i credit the SF II animated movie... by vaudeville villain	Mar 20th, 2008 08:46:07 AM
with introducing me to the world of anime as i know it today (not the horrible, dubbed Americanized garbage, mind you, but the original Japanese classic). a friend of mine and i went to a comic convention many years ago, and they had the scene where Ryu and Fei Long were fighting one another on continous loop... totally geeked me out. that's also where i first saw ninja scroll, but i digress...
94 Street Fighter was TOASTERBOLTS by ArcadianDS	Mar 20th, 2008 08:49:14 AM

On the Fence... by Jase2005	Mar 20th, 2008 08:50:31 AM
I'm not going to make a prediction about this one until I see a trailer or screen shots. Kristin (Kreuk) can probably pull off Chun Li, but.. the rest of the cast will seriously have to impress me. I think directors are trying to "batman begins" the comic book movies now. Not make them cartoonish, but cast quality actors in the roles and make them more real, more believable.
Are they gonna make Ryu and Ken goofballs again? by GibsonUSA	Mar 20th, 2008 08:54:35 AM

Huh. by SilentP	Mar 20th, 2008 09:03:28 AM
Well, then I suppose it could have been a parody of those, but I mean, that would still be strange, because normally you only do parodies of like, popular, successful movies, rofl.

This is going to be horrid by Nabster	Mar 20th, 2008 09:38:50 AM
The only way this movie could work is if it was a ballsout hardcore kung fu flick. But, this second-rate non action cast proves this is an impossibility, it proves we will be treated to a bland and generic franchise ripp off. I thought Van Dammes Knock Off was a camp classic, the exploding shoes were hilarious. And the explosions were punctuated with some weird green dust, and ofcourse there was the never ending treat of watching Van Damme act.

I have to agree, Ravenous was a fabulously enjoyable movie. I'm curious about this now. Would rather see it done by Stephen Chow (Perfect for this), but this could be interesting...

"...But for me, it was Tuesday." Possibly my favorite villain line from any movie or at least pretty close to Hans's "Mr. Takagi won't be joining us fooorrr the-rest-of-his-life". Aside from Julia's under-appreciated comic genius, it was a pretty horrendous movie. Van Damme as the uber-American?

I'm actually hoping they can step up saved-by-the-bell style horridness of the first but it'll never be the worst video game movie of all time. That is a title reserved for Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

And yes those eyes look just the same off camera. So I'll have no trouble believing he psycho-whatever powers. This has to be better than "I know who killed me right?"
Jesus Christ Why by Rat Fink	Mar 20th, 2008 11:55:16 AM
I can't believe they are are actually doing this shit. Why the fuck do we need another SF movie? The first sucked and so will this. I mean seriously, is Hollywoodr this fuckin desperate?
You disappoint me immensely, Quint. by Uncle_Les	Mar 20th, 2008 11:59:19 AM
If you actually think a "good" movie can come from a goddamn fighting game, that's one thing. But to actually expect something better than, as Harry put it, the '94 camp classic is just living in your own geeky universe.

The casting on this sounds so bizzare that it just may rival the original in mind blistering stupidity.

Used to work for Upper Deck, who produced cards for the movie, and we got a screening. Talk about disappointing. Only way to be more disappointed is if I had actually paid. But really, why would anybody expect a movie about the UN to be any good?
That's right, shouldnt Bison and Sagat be Thai? by GibsonUSA	Mar 20th, 2008 12:42:14 PM

The A.N.! Allied Nations! The baby blue helmets and blue camouflage is merely a coincidence, as is the funny-talking Belgian that seems to be heading it up.
Forget the casting of the "new" M. Bison, who asked for this rem by finky089	Mar 20th, 2008 01:14:05 PM
I mean, who really cares who plays who in this movie. Oh well, I guess the same could be said of much the films Hollywood is making right now.

A new Street Fighter movie...what year is this? by Reel American Hero	Mar 20th, 2008 01:40:06 PM
I've never asked this about a movie before, but why? The day of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are gone just like the age of video arcades. Street Fighter does still have it's hardcore fans yes, but even still this makes about as much sense as funding a film adaptation of Pac-Man.
I agree about CAPTAIN AMERICA by Calico Pete	Mar 20th, 2008 02:05:41 PM
Ever since Boomtown I was hoping McDonough would play Cap. He's SO blond, he's almost good and light incarnate. Bulk him up and put him in the star and stripes.
NOW WHO WANTS TO GO HOME...OR WHO WANTS TO COME WITH ME?!? by BIG BOSS	Mar 20th, 2008 02:07:40 PM
I was 11 when the 1st one came out, and I actually saw it in theatres (can't believe my folks were that cool back then. lol) I even went as far as buying thr live-action video game adaptation for my Sega Saturn, so obviously I'm not gonna bash the 1st movie...but I hope they do get it right for this new one. If they are going to center the story around Chun-Li's revenge, they should do it along the lines of "Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie". AND ADD SOME REAL GODDAMN FIREBALLS THIS TIME!!!
"Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat are gone" by GibsonUSA	Mar 20th, 2008 03:00:00 PM
Tell that to the new SF coming out and the last two MK games being the highest selling fighting games of their respective years.
I watched it in a theatre, too. by goodwolf82	Mar 20th, 2008 03:10:38 PM

It couldn't be as bad, you've got that part right. by TheRealRatigan	Mar 20th, 2008 03:13:16 PM
The first STREET FIGHTER movie should have starred Michael Dudikoff as Guile, not least because the character in the game was modelled on Dudikoff in the Cannon movie AMERICAN NINJA. They should have left out the second string characters that didn't belong in the same story together (I'm looking at Dhalsim, Balrog and E.Honda from WORLD WARRIORS, DeeJay and Thunderhawk from SUPER SF II). Dolph Lundgren was born to play Sagat. M. Bison should have been Ralph Moeller (BEST OF THE BEST 2, GLADIATOR, BEERFEST). Lose the foreign coup and liberation by the 'Allied Nations', led by 'General Guile', and most of all the global live news device. But, I guess that would have it another movie totally. Which would have been fine.

He's like half-albino or something. I'm not knocking him, I just find him creepy. Something's a little off.
I guess it can't be any worse than the 1994 movie, right? by Freefinger	Mar 20th, 2008 04:50:04 PM
Hollywood could unsurprise us by making this one worse... Althought I hope it doesn't screw up the acting career of Duncan Clarke, he was such on a roll then he stopped for some reason... Hope he gets himself a new Agent if this one goes under...

Street Fighter is my all time worst film by theyreflockingthisway	Mar 20th, 2008 09:45:47 PM
but Street Fighter 2 is possibly my all time favourite video game. I've seen some crap in my time but that movie tops them all because of my love of the game series and how it is nothing like it. All I'm thinking of this movie so far is that there's no way it can be worse. Oh, and this time, can we at least PLEASE have an hadouken in it!!

Headgeek, Street Fighter 1994 movie is... by BadWaldo s Revenge	Mar 20th, 2008 11:27:18 PM
...my favorite guilty pleasure movie. Sure, it's terrible, but the movie doesn't take itself seriously and it's one big parody movie. Raul Julia trying to blast the good guys up in the water using the modified Capcom JAMMA arcade controller. Zagrief asking idiotic question to himself in one embarrassing scene, as though it's scripted to humiliate the burly actor. Guile magically floating beeline from the elevator to air-kick M Bison. The transformation scene with Blanka and his behaving moronic. Yes, I'd like to believe the movie revels in self-parody, acknowledging it's made for a quick BO cash-in like TMNT the movie in 1990. At least Street Fighter is better than the awful Double Dragon the movie. Harry, I suggest finding Double Dragon comic book series published by Marvel circa 1991 (#1-6) -- believe it or not, it's an entertaining comic that is a dozen times better than enduring the atrocity of Double Dragon movie bomb.
re: director of doom by Larry Sellers	Mar 21st, 2008 12:04:29 AM
I doubt you'd get a reputable director to come anywhere near this. And no one would dare take it very seriously. If the guy managed to make at least that ONE cool little FPS sequence in Doom there's no doubt he can make at least one decent fight scene in this, a movie based on an arcade fighting game. I do like this casting. This guy's played some real asshole characters.

M. Bison isn't Thai fool by bottombrick	Mar 21st, 2008 12:11:48 PM
Sagat is Thai, M. Bison is nationality unknown. You fight him in Thailand because thats were he has a headquarters for shadowloo and where you just fought his main henchman. Bison could be from Nazi Germany or Maoist China, or anywhere.
I Know there aren't enough fans by bottombrick	Mar 21st, 2008 12:20:17 PM
for this to be anything more than a fucking parody, but look at Mortal Kombat for a second. Its a joke. CHRISTOPHER LAMBERT. but its still has action out the ass. They still fucking FIGHT. and the action set pieces get big builds. and they didn't make Johnny Cage the main character because Liu Kang is asian. So fuck you

there was SF animated movie a while back by cloudrider`	Mar 22nd, 2008 09:16:54 AM
no storyline there either, but the fight scenes beat anything in the live-action abomination. especially the end fight - ken vs ryu vs m.bison. of course, then there's that naked chun-li vs vega scene. japanese animator with pencils(no cgi back then) has more imagination in one brain cell than hollywood fight choreographers have in their entire collective heads. thank god woo ping has crossed over. the '94 movie is "genius"??? watched enough kungfu movies growing up here in asia, i'm glad i can at least see when a fighting movie is on opposite end of genius.
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li by cloudrider`	Mar 22nd, 2008 09:39:06 AM
just found that's the movie title. i have only but one response: what the hell is wrong u, hollywood!!!! 14 years after the first abomination, and still they're going for another shit. ryu IS and has always been the main star. i can understand them choosing guile to be the star back then, but in the age when jet li and jackie chan have crossed over to the american mainstream, in the age of crouching tiger, can't they now believe that a movie with an japanese/asian as the lead be marketable? apparently not. and then there's this from wikipedia: "Jean-Claude Van Damme, who played Guile in the 1994 live-action Street Fighter movie, confirmed that he was approached and offered a part in this movie but he turned it down because according to him, he is now being careful in picking parts." i dont know what's scarier, that last sentence, or the fact that they even thought of approaching van damme in the first place. like we need a reminder of the old movie . "genius" is defintely the minds behind this new movie.
