Hey folks, turns out that serial minor role actor Neil McDonough is going to get his first taste of headlining a film as he’s just landed the role of legendary game boss M. Bison in the Street-Fighter Movie!

You may recognise McDoughnut, sorry, Neil, from his roles in the “Band Of Brothers” TV series, as the bad guy in under-rated The Rock movie “Walking Tall” or a bit-part in “Star Trek: First Contact”.

I think it’s an interesting choice to get McDononogonough, ahh, whatever, because how he’ll play this role will be a mystery. Is he going to try and stay true to the original video-game and just be weird/psychotic, is he going to camp it up a la Raul Julia (RIP) or will he come up with something completely different? McD usually plays his roles seriously with a natural charisma behind him so to me, he *may* be out of his element here.

At least he’s got an eerie resemblance to the dude in this picture:

I swear that’s him under there…

What does the M in M.Bison stand for? Interesting story actually…

It originally stood for “Mike”, because in Japan the boxer character (who we all know as Balrog) is actually called “Mike Bison”, being based on Mike Tyson. When it came to the Western release, it was changed to avoid lawsuits.

Which makes you wonder… What does the M stand for now?

Is this Street Fighter actually gonna be worth seeing? A film is only as good as its script and considering writer Justin Marks is a relative unknown, it’s a 50-50 whether this film does the business or not… But I will say this, the following has probably swayed me to buy a ticket -

Kristin Kreuk wearing this:

and doing THIS!

That was the most PG-13 picture I could find on the net while still getting my point across (and there were a LOT worse, believe me)! It’s the same reason why I went to see DOA in the screens too (as the weak-link within a triple bill of Talladega Nights and Little Miss Sunshine).

There seems to be a huge fascination with the size of Chun-Li’s thighs on the Internet so expect a lot of the above to come.

That aside, EVERYONE, and I mean, E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E, should pray the film doesn’t end up like this pile of monkey mess…
