N Centinto is…He-Ken, since he was up for He Man!

I’m so grateful that we finally live in a world where video game movie adaptation announcements are met with genuine intrigue and excitement!

I hope this won't be any worser then the the 1994 live-action film (although it was fun in it's own right). Speaking of the 1994 film, is there a way we can have Jean Claude Van Damme (Guile in the 94' film), and Ming-Na Wen (Chun-Li in the 94' film) to make a cameo or a small appearance in this particular adaptation. I mean the live-action Mulan was able to have Ming-Na make a cameo in there, if there's a way we can have her to make a cameo (maybe as Chun-Li's mother) in this adaptation. Is there a way we can get Kylie Minogue (who played Cammy in the 94' film) to cameo/small appearance in here too like maybe as Cammy's mother?

If you're going to do another live-action adaptation of Street Fighter, do a throwback nod cameo to the 94 film. I would love to have Jean-Claude, Ming-Na, and Kylie to have a cameo in this film.

For you, the day a live-action Street Fighter movie was announced was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

Never mind the fact this is for property that’s been adapted into a live action film 2 times already.

Well, it sounds like the core will be the Gouki/Gouken lineage plot and the first tournament.

Andrew Koji is a talent that has not gotten scripts that worked for him, save Warrior, but Roman Reigns? There's a joke here about how his late cousin ALSO portrayed a Japanese man despite being Samoan but he has the visuals for it at least.

The worst part of Street Fighter 94 was poor Casting of Ryu and Ken! Also, I hope there is as good a Chun Li and Cammy as in SF 94! Their Casting was Perfect!

I'd put

Momoa as Zangief
Roman Reigns - Blanka

and Centineo either as Ken or if they want to keep open a possibility of a FF movie, cast Centineo as Cody

It shouldn´t be that hard to make a 7/10 SF but that´s also the ceiling of the IP. Just stay away from the Shadaloo nonsense as much as possible. Nearly all fighting games don´t offer much for an adaptation outside of flashy visuals.

Kitao Sakurai (The Eric Andre Show, Bad Trip)


This is the biggest surprise to me, honestly. I wonder what else he worked on considering these are both comedy related.
Side note: Bad Trip was hilarious.

That was the worse part?

Not everyone’s background being altered for no reason?

Like Zangief being a member of Shadaloo and Balrog being a good guy?

Or how the tournament was nonexistent even the first Mortal Kombat movie had the tournament.

And only because he was such a monumental dumbass he didn't realize Shadaloo was evil.

Well Bison did mention one of Shadaloo’s goals was to create the perfect genetic soldier not for power, not for evil, but for good. With such ambitions how could Shadaloo be seen as obviously evil.
