Balrog

And they really moved along the fighting.

Like, you would see in the background, you would see, oh, Balrog just knocked that guy out.

They moved it.

There was a

So there's that.

The other character that shows up for two minutes is Balrog.

which was good fine he's not like he doesn't 50 cent does a decent enough job and i think he in general does he in cap he captures balrog's personality well enough even though you barely see him you know if that makes sense

yeah we're not i'm not sitting here being like balrog is a compelling character but like for an entertaining action movie mini boss he works

yeah

like i think he's got presence i think there's the bar fight he does the dirty buffalo or the dirty bull or whatever like he steps on your foot and then hits you like he does a lot of balrog thing he does a slide punch you know he he the shots with him like actually and this is more cinematic than like his portrayal But they do portray Balrog as a mildly competent, if not intimidating force in the Street Fighter world.

They're like, oh, this is an above average boxer.

Yeah.

What is this place? Oh, they're called Metro...

lao city right instead of metro city they just changed it like what's what difference why right they all arrive there and then they there's the directors come up with a big convoluted reason to see everyone fight because bear in mind no you never see the fucking tournament so yes zhangief arrives gail arrives dalcim arrives then you're like But you aren't going to see them fight at any point in the film because the tournament is in the background, right? So the point is that you couldn't have Dhalsim and Balrog and all of this be on the screen without fighting at least once during the film.

So what does the director do? There's a bar fight where they just start beating each other up and the reasons for doing it become unbelievably unclear very quickly or very stupid.

But then people will switch sides within the fight and I couldn't keep track of who was fighting who and who was on whose side.

Did you find the same thing? Yeah, I did, yeah.

Because there's a point where the Dalsim just starts fighting somebody.

Is it Balrog? Vega.

He starts fighting Vega.

But all the ancillary characters...

I thought were amazing like the casting was great Balrog Balrog and like even at 50 Cent as Balrog was great I mean he was good Is there still

one with Lei Mu Bai and all the other ones like the characters What? I don't know what you're talking about.

What is the characters in Street Fighter? Chun-Li and Ken.

I mean, I don't think there's that many other huge twists, like who's good and who's bad.

Like 50 Cent plays, I think his name is Balrog.

He's the boxer guy who's in this as a good guy, but like he's kind of neutral.

So it's kind of like when Stan Lee was asked who would win in a fight, so-and-so, like Superman or the Hulk.

Cody Rhodes as Guile, very funny.

50 Cent as Balrog.

They make 50 Cent say some gay shit, and then...

In the script, 50 Cent says something gay, and the DJ literally hits a pause.
