This is it. I think I saw Anthony Hopkins say something like this. That he had a long career that he is very proud of and now he just does things that his grandkids will enjoy and makes whatever more he can to give to them.

I refer to that as the Bison rule. Same thing Raul Julia did for street fighter. He knew the movie was going to be rear end but his kids were really happy about it, so regardless of being sick, he hopped on and single handedly saved the movie from the garbage pit.

No matter how big of a trashfire of a production that movie was, god bless everyone involved and also their cocaine supplier for giving Raul Julia the space to have that kind of fun.

Those poor bastards. Trying to make a movie with 4 Street Fighter characters and then Capcom calls you and says 'We want at least 15 characters.' And the movie's like 90 minutes long.

The archmage of unexpected stinks.

I always wondered if they filmed any Fei Long stuff because otherwise he was the only super street fighter 2 character missing, right? I mean if you toss in a turbo there's also Akuma.

Also it was reusing a script for a GI Joe movie. To be fair, you barely need to change anything.

They were already struggling with the amount of characters they had to put in the movie, I would not be surprised if Fei Long had to be replaced to make up for the addition of an actor that the game dev studio wanted.

(It's also harder to insert a character whose entire identity is basically a tribute to Bruce Lee.)

While Mann waited, Capcom decided that — separate from the film's casting team — the Japanese actor Kenya Sawada would play the role of Ryu. Sawada had already played a Ryu-like character in Japanese commercials.

According to de Souza, Sawada was a safe, familiar choice for Capcom. But de Souza wanted the role of Ryu to have a sense of humor, someone with comic timing, someone with better English skills. The first time director only had one bargaining chip: to add another role.

No Street Fighter characters remained who fit what Capcom wanted, essentially another Ryu. So the game publisher and the beaten-down screenwriter created a new character from whole cloth: Captain Sawada. Because of the actor's poor English-speaking skills, Sawada's would be the only role dubbed in the U.S. release.

i remember reading somewhere that Bruce Willis charges something like a million a day, so those crap movies pay him for a day, shoot all his scenes, then do the rest of the movie. I mean for a big name, it works, even if you know the movie is gonna be crap, people will buy it.

What are you looking at?
Bruce Willis was likely unaware of what was going on in those films over the last few years. His dementia and aphasia was bad enough that he was wearing an earpiece and being fed his lines, and would only work maybe a day or two for ten minutes of screen time so they could put him on the poster.

I remember they were calling that genre of movies 'geezer teasers' starring ageing stars for five minutes and probably only boomers are credulous enough to believe they're genuinely playing a major role.

Wilhelm scream, animal roars coming from animals that do not loving roar, people chewing food with almost orgasmic sounds, I can handle all of that. I want to vomit like some 6 year old decrying how icky the other gender is almost every loving time people kiss in movies because it's so goddamn loud.

It's never one kiss, it's always several and they just remind me of someone yanking a suction cup off something wet.

The kookaburra bothers me a lot because they could use like an oropendola or a tinamou or something. They sound weird as poo poo and actually live in the jungle!

The biggest difference honestly is that Star Wars has style and a sense of place. Rebel Moon is the most generic poo poo ever

Same and it's worse because the actors rarely kiss, just touch lips together. Maybe the audio is over the top to distract from that.

There's no coherent design aesthetic, the "worlds" all feel like single rooms in a warehouse, the characters barely interact with each other, nothing feels alive or like it has any existence beyond when the camera is pointed at it. Its utterly baffling that this was a movie made by people who have previously made huge blockbuster hits and are nominally professional filmmakers. Its crazy.

Right, but the movie he made doesn't actually look or feel like a star wars movie. Which might be why Disney turned it down

There's something about the styling in its promotion. I haven't seen it and the only reason I know it exists (outside this thread) is that I saw a mass of posters in a major train station in Melbourne while there on a day trip. I looked at them in passing, went "ugh, more Star Wars poo poo" in my head and walked on.

I was very surprised to learn that it's not Star Wars.
