Action-Adventure Legendary/Paramount/Capcoms’ Street Fighter film

sonny chiba would've been a perfect akuma if this was made 30+ years ago. haha
 
I don’t like Reigns casting, but he is a Pacific Islander. Iunno how the AAPI community feels about casting him as a Japanese character though.

My bad. Thanks for the correction. :up:

Still should be Japanese like you said. I’m guessing they thought that since he is a demon, they thought they could cast anyone.

A joke of a comedian playing a joke character added to what will end up being a of a joke movie smh.

Bruh, this casting choice aside (because :mad: ), why get him to be Dan who is Japanese? Why not let him be Sodom who actually is an American who is a Japanese culture vulture?

These people are making some CHOICES. LMAO.

The weird thing is that Kitao Sakurai was born in Japan, so you’d think he’d strive for authenticity.

Hmmm. Do not like this.

Okay, the first few announcements I could maybe have written off as coincidence, but with this announcement, it feels like a pattern that a good portion of the cast are either MAGA or have supported Trump.

It’s like they just saw the named Dan and thought, “That’s a white name, right? Let’s get this American guy.” And they found the whitest, blandest white bread white person they could find.

F**king hell.
And now I’m sure that Sagat will not be played by someone from Thailand!

These people don’t give a #### about the characters nationality for the most part.
Watch it be Dwayne Johnson or Jason Statham. Because, they’re both in the Fast and Furious franchise, they’re bald, Dwayne is a former wrestler and both actors can fight. :o

Because that seems to be the extent of the director’s surface-level understanding of the franchise based on who he cast.

Probably a self-hating Japanese man who idolizes white American dudebro culture. All of this casting screams early 2000s young teenage boy fan-casting of all the celebrities he knows of in what their version of a live-action anime would be without any consideration for cultural sensitivity or whether they’re good actors.

I’m almost half expecting stuff to come out about him being a Trump-supporting anti-woke, anti-LGBTQIA+ anti-DEI, racist and misogynistic MAGA incel who is deep in the manosphere, likes Joe Rogan and Elon Musk and opposes cancel culture.

All I can say is to Andrew Koji and Callina Liang if I could

DON’T DO THIS MOVIE!!!

I feel sorry for them! And it really bums me out as I loved Koji on Warrior!

Assassin’s Fist is the best live action SF, and forever will be!!!
 
Was Assassin’s Fist good? All this time I still never caught it yet.

Trust me, it’s worth the watch. Draws from the games, Alpha Generations in terms of Gouki and Gouken’s backstory. You do feel the love for the games and anime!

They were going to do a World Warrior series but that got canned.
 
Looking forward to SF fans ranking the films once this comes out.

Will this end up below or above that Chun-Li movie starring Kristin Kreuk?
 

During a conversation with Screen Rant about the project, Schulz opened up about his history with the franchise and his thoughts on the film.

[I was] obsessed with Street Fighter growing up. In middle school, I would take all my parents spare change and go to a deli during lunch and play Marvel vs. Capcom... I'm playing Dan Hibiki. There's some cool lore about his character. They created him in a later Street Fighter game as an insult to a competitive game trying to rip off Street Fighter. [The script] is really good. We still got to make the movie. But the script is great. Not sure what I can share. But they're doing it right.

More like they doing it WRONG!

Would be nice if he and Reigns would just walk away from the film, but I don’t see that happening. Same with 50 Cent.

Nothing will ever be worse than Legend of Chun-Li! That movie is just way too dull. Whatever issues people have with the 1994 Street Fighter film, at least that one is entertaining and has memorable moments. Legend of Chun-Li is a bore. And to think that movie actually got Robin Shou in it, too.
