Thank you again. Thanks. It's real inconvenient. 00:00:30.649 --> 00:00:33.590 Yeah, I know. I know. Well, inconveniencing you 00:00:33.590 --> 00:00:37.670 is primarily what gets me out of bed. I'm going 00:00:37.670 --> 00:00:42.130 to get yelled at for this. Yeah, thank you. Well, 00:00:42.369 --> 00:00:44.789 everything I can do to help. And then joining 00:00:44.789 --> 00:00:47.649 us today is also Nick. Nice to meet you, Nick. 00:00:47.810 --> 00:00:50.369 I'm here. Hey, shake hands. I haven't shaken 00:00:50.369 --> 00:00:53.270 your hand yet. That's nice. Yes. A round of handshakes 00:00:53.270 --> 00:00:55.390 all around. Shake you, shake you, shake, shake. 00:00:55.509 --> 00:00:58.649 Oh, just one shake? Yeah, just one. Okay, that's 00:00:58.649 --> 00:01:05.250 weird. Just a firm up -down. Just quick. So, 00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:10.329 okay, we know Nick, but Nick, what brings us, 00:01:10.489 --> 00:01:15.030 what brings you into this fold? That's a good 00:01:15.030 --> 00:01:18.930 question. I feel like, what was it, about two 00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:21.909 months ago, one month ago? It's like a text, 00:01:21.950 --> 00:01:24.629 like, hey, your name is Nick. We're doing an 00:01:24.629 --> 00:01:28.930 April Fool's episode to review Street Fighter. 00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:33.659 The movie from 1994, which just brought me down 00:01:33.659 --> 00:01:35.900 memory lane. I was like, oh, man, I remember 00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:39.840 that movie. I have a Street Fighter 2 cabinet 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.799 arcade game. Awesome. Non -functional in my basement. 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.200 Non -functional. You know, it's fine to look 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.719 at. Yeah, it is. You know, I dream. I've had 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.900 some girlfriends who were like that, too. Completely 00:01:52.900 --> 00:01:57.420 non -functional, but nice to look at. So, yeah, 00:01:57.500 --> 00:01:59.980 I think I missed out like twice being able to 00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:02.280 do it. And then I think we all missed out twice. 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.980 So here we are in mid -May. Mid -May recording 00:02:05.980 --> 00:02:08.900 that April Fool's Day. Hey, joke's on you guys. 00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.139 We always follow through. Oh, that's awesome. 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.659 So you're not even surprised that the movie is 00:02:18.659 --> 00:02:21.620 based off of Street Fighter 2, not Street Fighter 00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:24.889 1 then. No, I totally, I knew what I was getting 00:02:24.889 --> 00:02:28.289 into. Even as a, I don't know how old I was when 00:02:28.289 --> 00:02:33.550 I first watched it. Probably 12 maybe, I think. 00:02:34.490 --> 00:02:36.650 Might have been the last time I've seen it, but 00:02:36.650 --> 00:02:40.469 yeah. Oh man, I wish that was, I've definitely 00:02:40.469 --> 00:02:45.030 seen it a lot recently, but it's been a thing. 00:02:45.150 --> 00:02:49.129 I think every two years I probably get back into 00:02:49.129 --> 00:02:53.569 it. I must say, like, I expected to totally hate 00:02:53.569 --> 00:02:59.050 it. I was so into it. Oh, my God. So into it, 00:02:59.069 --> 00:03:01.770 you watched it weeks before. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:03:01.789 --> 00:03:04.650 In preparation for a podcast that had nothing 00:03:04.650 --> 00:03:08.530 to do with. That's okay, though. You know, and 00:03:08.530 --> 00:03:15.000 I'm glad I did. It was worth my time. as good 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.840 as I'll say about this. It was worth your time. 00:03:17.979 --> 00:03:19.599 You know, that's pretty high praise for this 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.180 movie. It was worth the time I put into it. I 00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:28.319 like that. Okay, well, hey, I think we're all 00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.240 introduced. We've got Nick, recurring Nick. We've 00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:37.580 got new Nick. We've got me. It's old Nick. This 00:03:37.580 --> 00:03:40.699 is so cool. There's going to be zero further 00:03:40.699 --> 00:03:47.060 preambles. It's just Nick. um so nick how is 00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:50.879 it like being well what do i think about being 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:59.680 nick um i think it's 80 sex and 30 dog and i 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:04.960 like that a lot about it well with that i think 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.159 it's really about time that i say hey everybody 00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.919 welcome to cage match a roundabout way of meeting 00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.110 nicholas cage on this podcast we only talk about 00:04:13.110 --> 00:04:16.410 nicholas cage movies except for today when we're 00:04:16.410 --> 00:04:20.129 doing oops all nicks and we're only talking about 00:04:20.129 --> 00:04:25.389 1994 street fighter cult classic no nicholas 00:04:25.389 --> 00:04:29.810 cage lots of john claude van damme that's who 00:04:29.810 --> 00:04:34.550 that guy was yeah oh dude i you know there's 00:04:34.550 --> 00:04:36.790 credits where they show the names yeah skip over 00:04:36.790 --> 00:04:42.259 that I'm not interested in history. This isn't 00:04:42.259 --> 00:04:47.459 a history lesson. Okay. Okay, so I didn't realize 00:04:47.459 --> 00:04:49.279 that was him. Okay, well, let's work through 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.860 the cast. So we got Jean -Claude Van Damme as 00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:56.000 Guile. Traditionally tall, haired, blonde, cool, 00:04:56.220 --> 00:04:59.819 muscular, American soldier. American, yeah. Yeah, 00:04:59.819 --> 00:05:02.600 American. Let's go. Then who do we got? We got, 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:07.110 obviously, Raul Julia as M. Bison. Bad ass. Like, 00:05:07.110 --> 00:05:10.209 oh my god, I loved his performance. He really 00:05:10.209 --> 00:05:13.509 fucking killed it. It was his last movie, right? 00:05:13.509 --> 00:05:18.370 It was, yeah. What? He filmed this while terminally 00:05:18.370 --> 00:05:20.829 ill with cancer. And he didn't tell anybody. 00:05:21.149 --> 00:05:23.870 He just filmed it, and then before it even came 00:05:23.870 --> 00:05:26.689 out, he passed away. I remember one thing from 00:05:26.689 --> 00:05:28.829 when it came out. It was like, this is his last 00:05:28.829 --> 00:05:33.889 movie, and my god, is it trash. From the reviews. 00:05:34.009 --> 00:05:36.980 I do not. Agree with that sentiment. Yeah, it's 00:05:36.980 --> 00:05:40.439 got critically panned. I think it sits at about 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.279 like 10 % or something on Rotten Tomatoes. So 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:48.399 pretty terrible, but beloved by nostalgia. It 00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:50.980 was not beloved in its time, I'm sure. It did 00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:54.300 well. It grossed well. There was a lot to love, 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.220 honestly. Like, you know, being totally unaware 00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:01.579 of like the, you know, its release and all that. 00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:05.259 I guess it's not surprising, but honestly, it 00:06:05.259 --> 00:06:09.100 was just a badass action movie that had everything 00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:11.980 I would ever want in a badass action movie. Yeah. 00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:18.040 It had Mulan. Ming -Na Wen. She was Chun -Li. 00:06:18.300 --> 00:06:21.579 Oh, damn. Yeah. All right. I'm not going to lie 00:06:21.579 --> 00:06:23.579 to you, Nick. I'm going to tell it to you straight. 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.600 That is rad, actually. Yeah? Yeah. And then, 00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:29.439 I think after that, it's a bunch of people that 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:31.600 nobody cares about. Oh, yeah. Kylie Minogue. 00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:36.019 Kylie Minogue is in this, weirdly. I think this 00:06:36.019 --> 00:06:37.740 must have been right when she was kind of getting 00:06:37.740 --> 00:06:40.560 sort of popular and getting a little bit of an 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.579 American presence. She was only 19, I think, 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:47.279 when she filmed this. Wow. Yeah, that's weird. 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:53.040 Yeah. Also weird that JCVD slept with her during 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.240 production. Wait, what? Oh, yeah, no, like, so 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.800 when this movie was going into production, he... 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.420 He got a divorce from his third wife, and then 00:07:05.420 --> 00:07:08.439 before the ink was dry, he was getting married 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.120 to his fourth wife, who turned out to be pregnant, 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:13.360 and then during production, he had an affair 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.100 with Kylie Minogue. God damn. Classic guy. What 00:07:17.100 --> 00:07:23.399 a life. Yeah. Well, I mean, allegedly, he was 00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.079 budgeting about $10 ,000 a week for cocaine. 00:07:26.649 --> 00:07:31.990 so this movie oh my god i think it makes a lot 00:07:31.990 --> 00:07:35.509 more sense now like yeah yeah i forgot about 00:07:35.509 --> 00:07:37.949 how much coke people were doing back then no 00:07:37.949 --> 00:07:40.389 yeah i was in the shower today just trying to 00:07:40.389 --> 00:07:43.490 like do some math thinking about like how much 00:07:43.490 --> 00:07:47.970 like today world cocaine is that and uh it's 00:07:47.970 --> 00:07:50.730 still a lot 100 grams a week i think is what 00:07:50.730 --> 00:07:53.209 i came up with that's a lot of cocaine i would 00:07:53.209 --> 00:07:55.899 imagine not a kilo that was just mathematically 00:07:55.899 --> 00:08:00.240 well i'm sure he's shared it i mean generally 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:03.740 people with cocaine of that amount are pretty 00:08:03.740 --> 00:08:06.399 like insistent that everybody else does it too 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:10.680 i got too much cocaine so that's your main cast 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:15.079 and then there's people who play sagat vega e 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:19.910 -honda balrog Well, obviously, Blanca's in there. 00:08:20.569 --> 00:08:26.069 They jammed them all in there, everyone. I say 00:08:26.069 --> 00:08:34.370 some words about 49 % evil Blanca. Oh my god, 00:08:34.409 --> 00:08:35.370 that was one of the coolest things ever. Right 00:08:35.370 --> 00:08:38.269 at the end, they toned it down. Gave them its 00:08:38.269 --> 00:08:42.690 humanity back. I love the bags of... Oh, yeah, 00:08:42.750 --> 00:08:46.210 mutagen and, like, the orange anabolic plasma. 00:08:46.330 --> 00:08:50.370 And the green. Lots of it. Yeah, the anabolic 00:08:50.370 --> 00:08:53.769 plasma for his hair. Because it's orange. And 00:08:53.769 --> 00:08:56.629 green for his skin. And as a Dhalsim fan from 00:08:56.629 --> 00:09:01.549 the game, I could not have been more. I think 00:09:01.549 --> 00:09:05.690 just about every character did a pretty good 00:09:05.690 --> 00:09:10.090 job of disappointing anybody who was ever a fan 00:09:10.090 --> 00:09:12.049 of the franchise. And that's pretty cool. Yeah, 00:09:12.090 --> 00:09:14.629 it's pretty cool to like really get out there 00:09:14.629 --> 00:09:17.049 and just be like, fuck y 'all. I think, Nick, 00:09:17.149 --> 00:09:19.509 why don't you go ahead and give us a quick summary 00:09:19.509 --> 00:09:22.409 of the movie? All right. Let me see if I can 00:09:22.409 --> 00:09:26.210 try for all the uneducated out there. M. Bison. 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.740 Has taken over a South Asian country called... 00:09:30.740 --> 00:09:33.100 Do you guys remember what it was called? Oh, 00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:37.259 Shadaloo. Shadaloo. So that's actually in Street 00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:42.240 Fighter lore. We're going to do lore. The criminal 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:46.440 organization that M. Bison runs. Hold on, is 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.840 there actually lore to Street Fighter? Yeah, 00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:52.559 a weirdly absurd amount. Oh my god. If you go 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:57.049 back and look at lore... the the character biographies 00:09:57.049 --> 00:10:00.610 sometimes it's like oh this person was a failed 00:10:00.610 --> 00:10:03.590 boxer and then the next one is like this person 00:10:03.590 --> 00:10:07.110 was a ninja whose second father was killed in 00:10:07.110 --> 00:10:11.409 the mountains of this and then this person is 00:10:11.409 --> 00:10:15.669 a cool cleaner it's like wow yeah very inconsistent 00:10:15.669 --> 00:10:19.110 i guess i realized as someone who played the 00:10:19.110 --> 00:10:22.309 game a lot as a kid That as characters came out 00:10:22.309 --> 00:10:25.309 as being, like, evil or good, I was just genuinely 00:10:25.309 --> 00:10:29.990 surprised. Like, I was like, oh, Vega, bad. E. 00:10:30.090 --> 00:10:33.809 Honda, good. Blanca kind of in the middle. I 00:10:33.809 --> 00:10:36.570 was like... Yeah, the original, like, bads were, 00:10:36.730 --> 00:10:43.110 what, Bison, Sagat, Vega, and... Dhalsim wasn't 00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:46.730 bad, but... God, there was somebody else. I can't 00:10:46.730 --> 00:10:50.710 remember now, though. And Ryu and Ken, not. douchebags 00:10:50.710 --> 00:11:00.090 as they kind of were. No. In written canon, Ryu 00:11:00.090 --> 00:11:04.210 and Ken were not hustlers who were trying to 00:11:04.210 --> 00:11:11.889 scam major terrorist cabals with tennis ball 00:11:11.889 --> 00:11:15.009 guns. Did they find meaning in the end, though, 00:11:15.029 --> 00:11:20.129 or whatever? I doubt it. I bet they went on to 00:11:20.129 --> 00:11:23.509 do shittier scams. They probably just scammed 00:11:23.509 --> 00:11:25.570 the U .S. government, which is the safest way 00:11:25.570 --> 00:11:29.730 to get money. Okay, so one thing I have been 00:11:29.730 --> 00:11:31.750 wondering about this movie, and if you know the 00:11:31.750 --> 00:11:36.490 cast, I'm curious about the voiceover lady for 00:11:36.490 --> 00:11:43.720 the computer. like in the game no in this movie 00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:47.120 it's one of my favorite parts it's like you know 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.759 when she's all like you know danger you know 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.059 increasing blah blah blah and you know it's all 00:11:52.059 --> 00:11:54.620 just standard warning things it's like it seems 00:11:54.620 --> 00:11:57.000 like a normal job and then one of her lines is 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:03.259 all like hostage pit opening where am i working 00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:06.919 again somebody's in the voiceover booth just 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.639 recording these and they're like Yeah, and there's 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:13.559 a whole self -destruct sequence one, and it's 00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.419 all like, I guess, as long as I'm being paid. 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:19.960 Yeah, this was way before you had a TikTok AI 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.840 voice to cover these things for you. Yeah, and 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.159 so I just kind of wonder, who was that person? 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.919 I don't know. Let's see if it is uncovered in 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.919 Nick's summary. It's not. Definitely not. Yeah, 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:42.440 so... I forgot. Shadaloo? Shadaloo. Shadaloo 00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:49.320 is being opposed by a kind of quasi -UN led by 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:54.100 Colonel Guile, really hopped up on cocaine just 00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:57.340 right from the get -go. Comes in, shows his muscle 00:12:57.340 --> 00:13:00.480 with his really stellar American flag tattoo 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:07.169 and tells Bison to shove it. Are you ready for 00:13:07.169 --> 00:13:09.789 another interruption? Yes. So there were days 00:13:09.789 --> 00:13:14.129 that Jean -Claude wouldn't just go on set and 00:13:14.129 --> 00:13:19.470 his excuse was he was pumping his muscles. Like, 00:13:19.549 --> 00:13:22.970 not coming out right now. I'm pumping my muscles. 00:13:24.450 --> 00:13:30.190 What? Cocaine! This guy is freaking nuts. Oh 00:13:30.190 --> 00:13:35.929 my god. All right. So we got Guile's muscles. 00:13:36.250 --> 00:13:39.090 Guile's muscles. Hella pumped. We've got, like, 00:13:39.129 --> 00:13:43.730 a spunky, dedicated reporter for International 00:13:43.730 --> 00:13:48.850 News Corp, Chun -Li, you know, getting the story. 00:13:49.110 --> 00:13:50.750 And apparently, I don't know if we're jumping 00:13:50.750 --> 00:13:52.870 ahead, but apparently they had instant chemistry 00:13:52.870 --> 00:13:56.210 that I only became, like, aware of at the very 00:13:56.210 --> 00:13:59.809 end of the movie when, you know, Guile and Chun 00:13:59.809 --> 00:14:02.529 -Li, like... I don't think they had... anything 00:14:02.529 --> 00:14:04.970 between them it caught me completely off guard 00:14:04.970 --> 00:14:07.389 and all of a sudden at the end they like yeah 00:14:07.389 --> 00:14:10.330 I like I really like that because like throughout 00:14:10.330 --> 00:14:13.590 the whole movie Cammy's just like throwing herself 00:14:13.590 --> 00:14:16.110 yeah and then Cammy's just like oh you know she 00:14:16.110 --> 00:14:19.070 weeps at the end and he's like no I'm sorry Chun 00:14:19.070 --> 00:14:21.009 -Li I'm in love with you he's like there was 00:14:21.009 --> 00:14:27.029 tear gas on the escape yeah no I'm just dropping 00:14:27.029 --> 00:14:30.049 it in Chun -Li so it's Chun -Li and her crack 00:14:30.539 --> 00:14:33.940 oh yeah her crew like her whole news team of 00:14:33.940 --> 00:14:38.279 balrog balrog and ihonda hawaiian ihonda i mean 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:42.440 it's what a great crew why the hawaiian choice 00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.980 i like whenever you could mismatch the like because 00:14:45.980 --> 00:14:47.639 another big part of street fighters like you 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:50.519 take a plane it goes to a different part of the 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:53.539 world and you're like oh i'm in japan ihonda 00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:55.899 is a sumo wrestler and they're like no let's 00:14:55.899 --> 00:15:00.340 let's go Let's go Hawaii for this guy. And I 00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:01.899 can't even remember, what was their backstory? 00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:05.480 They were all individually wronged by Bison. 00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:10.100 I think that's as deep as it gets. I think Chun 00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:12.240 -Li's the only one who gave it more than a sentence. 00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.940 Everybody else was like, ooh, I got beef. It's 00:15:15.940 --> 00:15:22.259 a line. Street beef. So yeah. And what does Bison 00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:29.129 want? Twenty... billion dollars the astounding 00:15:29.129 --> 00:15:33.830 oh my god amount of 20 billion dollars totally 00:15:33.830 --> 00:15:39.409 i love that he wants 20 billion dollars but then 00:15:39.409 --> 00:15:45.110 like he's explaining to dj in like a scene shortly 00:15:45.110 --> 00:15:48.879 later where it's like I'm going to pay you in 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.139 bison bucks because each bison buck is going 00:15:52.139 --> 00:15:55.340 to be worth more than five pounds once I've kidnapped 00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:58.279 their queen and forced them to. So it's like, 00:15:58.299 --> 00:16:00.779 what's the 20 billion dollars going to be worth? 00:16:01.289 --> 00:16:05.070 I was thinking about that, but as you're operating 00:16:05.070 --> 00:16:08.190 your own government, you do need various foreign 00:16:08.190 --> 00:16:11.889 currencies so that you can maintain a valuable 00:16:11.889 --> 00:16:15.570 exchange. And I know as a future dictator wannabe, 00:16:15.669 --> 00:16:19.029 you have looked into this. Yeah, so it does actually 00:16:19.029 --> 00:16:22.610 make sense that he does need various world currencies 00:16:22.610 --> 00:16:27.029 in order to establish his reign of terror. Post 00:16:27.029 --> 00:16:31.840 -gold standard. nation state of bisonopolis i 00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:35.860 would live there though it looked cool man and 00:16:35.860 --> 00:16:40.120 honestly i had a sweet like sinister skull with 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.279 wings kind of building like it seems like as 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.480 long as you don't cross him he's not a bad boss 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.399 either yeah i mean he's got that smoking jacket 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.399 and the the nighttime like velour dictator hat 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:54.720 that goes with it oh that's pretty sweet yeah 00:16:54.720 --> 00:17:01.889 the casual dictator All right, so we've got the 00:17:01.889 --> 00:17:05.390 reporting team. We know who they are. What do 00:17:05.390 --> 00:17:08.609 we got else? I feel like next we transition to, 00:17:08.650 --> 00:17:12.210 like, the underground fighting slash gambling 00:17:12.210 --> 00:17:16.690 circuit where it's like a cage fight. Might have 00:17:16.690 --> 00:17:20.730 been electrified. Vega is the hero. Yeah, I think 00:17:20.730 --> 00:17:23.329 the cage was electrified, yeah. I think, and 00:17:23.329 --> 00:17:26.430 to me, as a kid... I was most disappointed by 00:17:26.430 --> 00:17:28.750 the characters who, like, appear next being Ryu 00:17:28.750 --> 00:17:32.210 and Ken. I was just like, they were the coolest. 00:17:32.269 --> 00:17:35.069 And they kind of, you know. They got really weak. 00:17:35.430 --> 00:17:38.910 Bop in and, you know, they're selling some guns 00:17:38.910 --> 00:17:43.349 to Sagat. Yeah. They thought they were tricking 00:17:43.349 --> 00:17:46.170 him in some way. You know, they had the guns 00:17:46.170 --> 00:17:48.009 hidden and they were going to walkie -talkie 00:17:48.009 --> 00:17:50.619 and tell him the location. he already knew it 00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:53.500 he already found the nerf guns and yeah you know 00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:56.720 he shows them uh by shooting them in the face 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:01.480 what about ken's outfit the denim shirt with 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.819 the tie and like the brown i don't know is that 00:18:04.819 --> 00:18:08.259 like a suede vest that he's wearing it's just 00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:10.779 joey from full house it's the whole it's all 00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:14.960 i thought the whole time i'm like oh no oh yeah 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:17.559 yeah those guys come in looking like supreme 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.319 dorks and like with everybody in this film like 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:24.519 they're kind of like juiced up and big and like 00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:29.039 those two just look like guys yeah yeah i didn't 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.700 even realize they were main characters like theoretically 00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:36.099 i don't know i always felt like they were kind 00:18:36.099 --> 00:18:38.799 of the main street fighter characters you know 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:40.799 no i really thought like this was a story about 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.019 guile and bison and Chun -Li for some reason. 00:18:45.259 --> 00:18:47.900 Well, the movie certainly. The movie, yeah. The 00:18:47.900 --> 00:18:53.759 games, Ryu is like the primary protagonist. Yeah, 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.119 I should say, I played Street Fighter a few times, 00:18:56.180 --> 00:19:00.339 but not often. I wasn't allowed to, you know, 00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:03.339 growing up. Kind of develop bad habits. it. You'd 00:19:03.339 --> 00:19:05.259 be out there, like, throwing fireballs at people. 00:19:06.220 --> 00:19:09.779 Wish. Oh, man. That was my safe one. Like, my 00:19:09.779 --> 00:19:10.920 parents were like, oh, well, Street Fighter, 00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:12.880 that's okay. It's animated. It's that Mortal 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:16.799 Kombat with just that intense gore that would 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:18.759 warp your mind. That is true. That's the one 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:20.680 I had to sneak. Yeah, Mortal Kombat is definitely 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:23.420 full of Satan. Did you know that they made a 00:19:23.420 --> 00:19:27.900 video game based on the movie? So it was Street 00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:30.240 Fighter, the movie, the video game. I did know 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.359 that. And they used Mortal Kombat technology 00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:37.779 to film the actors doing all this stuff. So it's 00:19:37.779 --> 00:19:39.839 just like... This is amazing. Jean -Claude Van 00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:43.259 Damme, yeah. It looked even... I kind of need 00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:46.839 to know. The video game has a higher rating on 00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:51.119 IMDb than the movie does by like 0 .2%. It's 00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:55.039 like 4 .2 to 4 .3 or something. Oh, that's so 00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:58.920 sad. Yeah. I felt like I did... I felt throughout 00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:00.779 this movie, there were two movies that I couldn't 00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:03.279 help just like think of. Like as I was going 00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.339 through first was the super Mario brothers movie. 00:20:06.420 --> 00:20:08.579 Oh yeah. Just like, cause it was from that era 00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:12.660 where like movies knew they wanted to make like 00:20:12.660 --> 00:20:15.980 video game adaptations, but they did not know 00:20:15.980 --> 00:20:19.960 like how to execute on that. To just like lean 00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.710 into like. And they were just kind of, yeah, 00:20:22.769 --> 00:20:24.369 they wouldn't lean in. And whereas Mortal Kombat, 00:20:24.569 --> 00:20:26.369 which is the other movie I thought about, just 00:20:26.369 --> 00:20:28.509 I felt like totally leaned in. And they're like, 00:20:28.650 --> 00:20:31.549 we need to show everyone's signature move. We 00:20:31.549 --> 00:20:33.509 need to make sure that we deliver on like everything. 00:20:33.690 --> 00:20:36.670 And still really, you know, cheesy and bad. Oh, 00:20:36.690 --> 00:20:39.789 that one was so bad. This one is just like, let's 00:20:39.789 --> 00:20:41.549 just, we'll get every character in, but we're 00:20:41.549 --> 00:20:45.109 just going to go fucking anywhere. When the newer 00:20:45.109 --> 00:20:48.390 Mortal Kombat movie came out, like during COVID. 00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:50.980 I went back and I tried re -watching the old 00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:55.319 ones. Holy shit. Those are so hard to look at. 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.440 They're like, I don't think the graphics are 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:01.480 like in any way better than the video game. It's 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:04.980 rough. It's like real aggressively bad. That 00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:07.119 is a saving grace of Street Fighter. I feel like 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.500 they did not have CGI. Early 90s CGI. At the 00:21:11.500 --> 00:21:14.140 end of the movie, Ryan was supposed to have a 00:21:14.140 --> 00:21:18.099 Hadouken. And you see a white flash on the screen. 00:21:18.140 --> 00:21:19.980 It's like, yeah, we had no post -production credit. 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:24.400 They were like, maybe if we have a little money 00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.960 left over, we'll throw a little Hadouken in there. 00:21:27.099 --> 00:21:29.539 We'll just throw one white cell in there. And 00:21:29.539 --> 00:21:33.019 it's like, okay, great. One frame. I was wondering 00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:35.559 where that was supposed to come in. It was like 00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.099 the one thing that I was looking for. He does 00:21:38.099 --> 00:21:42.859 the move and it goes nowhere. That's all the 00:21:42.859 --> 00:21:47.920 flashiness. Not a sonic boom. Not a... No single 00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.180 move. No yoga flame. Oh, well, you did have M. 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.119 Bison, like, doing his, like... Oh, that's true. 00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:55.519 Oh, God, I love that. He did have something like... 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.619 He's, like, his lightning jetpack. Ember Palpatine 00:21:58.619 --> 00:22:01.299 situation going on. I love this jetpack move 00:22:01.299 --> 00:22:04.940 where he's just, like... upward fisting sideways. 00:22:05.059 --> 00:22:08.039 I love upward fisting. That's such a good move. 00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:11.200 One time I was watching this adult documentary 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.440 and this chick was like just squatting next to 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:17.180 a pool and then in slow motion a fist just came 00:22:17.180 --> 00:22:23.039 out. Bam. I was like, sure you can see a little 00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:28.799 dictator hat from off screen. You know, that's 00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:32.859 just to connect with what you were saying. He's 00:22:32.859 --> 00:22:35.319 all like, I'm going to levitate now. And then 00:22:35.319 --> 00:22:41.359 he's all like, I'll show you powers of superconductors. 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.440 Yeah, he really leans into the power of superconductors. 00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.140 With no, no explanation. For no reason. Like 00:22:49.140 --> 00:22:51.880 there's no, that came out of nowhere. All of 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:54.380 a sudden he's all like, check it out. I'm really 00:22:54.380 --> 00:22:57.319 into superconductors. I love that when he gets 00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:00.380 into that position, like when Guile puts him 00:23:00.380 --> 00:23:04.059 down. Spoiler for everybody. We haven't gotten 00:23:04.059 --> 00:23:06.160 to this yet. When Kyle puts him down in that 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:08.640 last fight and then he's like checking in on 00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:11.240 the radio. And then in the background, there's 00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:14.740 just the M. Bison life support computer. And 00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:19.119 it's like, oh, applying CPR. His fucking chest 00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:24.019 starts going up and down. Electric shock. Adrenaline. 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:30.869 It's pretty perfect. Oh, yeah, we had the street 00:23:30.869 --> 00:23:35.390 fights. Selling guns to Sagat. Jean -Claude Guile 00:23:35.390 --> 00:23:39.250 drives a tank with two giant missiles through 00:23:39.250 --> 00:23:43.430 the side of the illegal fighting rink and arrests 00:23:43.430 --> 00:23:47.670 everyone. What? Really badass. What kind of tank 00:23:47.670 --> 00:23:50.950 has just, like, fucking Sidewinder missiles or, 00:23:50.950 --> 00:23:53.329 like, ICBMs on the side of it? Like, those things 00:23:53.329 --> 00:23:56.970 were huge. They were the full length of the tank. 00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:00.559 I was impressed. They were bigger than the main 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.579 cannon. Yeah, that was huge in the 80s, 90s. 00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:07.799 So many things were like even just getting TV 00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:10.920 shows because they could sell toys like He -Man. 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.640 Totally tracks, but I didn't even just think 00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:17.200 of how the aesthetic of it was. Street Sharks 00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:19.400 was a great one. I'd buy so many Street Shark 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.559 toys if I found them right now. Biker Mice from 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:25.900 Mars. So many good shows out there. Dino Riders. 00:24:26.099 --> 00:24:28.789 Dino Riders, yep. Then they're all arrested. 00:24:29.049 --> 00:24:32.329 Uh -huh. And they all go to prison, you know. 00:24:32.789 --> 00:24:37.829 By all of them, I mean Ryu can bust in and, like, 00:24:37.829 --> 00:24:41.069 come out. He's just like, you are all under arrest. 00:24:41.430 --> 00:24:43.730 It's just the dumbest. Oh, my God. The fucking 00:24:43.730 --> 00:24:47.849 line readings in this. I love it when you have 00:24:47.849 --> 00:24:51.309 a cast of people whose, like, primary language 00:24:51.309 --> 00:24:54.349 isn't necessarily English, but they have to communicate. 00:24:55.180 --> 00:24:58.740 like on a chop as if like english is their native 00:24:58.740 --> 00:25:03.240 language and abandon all uh fucking accents uh 00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:08.019 the the scene in the main like planning room 00:25:08.019 --> 00:25:11.900 where it's guile talking to sawada i think was 00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:14.500 the character's name uh and it's just two guys 00:25:14.500 --> 00:25:18.539 definitely not like native english people giving 00:25:18.539 --> 00:25:24.019 lines and talking like this but what if When 00:25:24.019 --> 00:25:29.400 it happens, it sounds like this. It's just incredible. 00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:34.819 Zero pacing. Yeah. The lack of pacing. Yeah. 00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:37.980 I mean, I gotta say, though, I mean, I enjoyed 00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:42.299 this movie so much. I know. It's so fun. It was 00:25:42.299 --> 00:25:45.480 great. I thought I was going to hate it. I put 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:50.730 the hostage pit. Nick loves a hostage pit. It's 00:25:50.730 --> 00:25:53.369 actually a really good strategy. Now, after seeing 00:25:53.369 --> 00:25:55.869 their hostage pit, did you actually make any 00:25:55.869 --> 00:25:58.569 modifications to your own hostage pit? I don't 00:25:58.569 --> 00:26:02.710 own property. I can't afford that. I mean, you 00:26:02.710 --> 00:26:07.930 don't have to own to install. I don't ask my 00:26:07.930 --> 00:26:11.670 landlord for fucking shit. Yeah. But I modify 00:26:11.670 --> 00:26:14.150 the fuck out of his place. I think I would need 00:26:14.150 --> 00:26:17.670 to be on a ground floor apartment so that I could. 00:26:18.009 --> 00:26:20.869 It does make pits better. Yeah. Unless you can, 00:26:20.910 --> 00:26:24.170 like, block off your downstairs neighbor's place 00:26:24.170 --> 00:26:26.930 and then they become a hostage. First hostage 00:26:26.930 --> 00:26:31.309 in the pit. It's not even that illegal, actually. 00:26:32.450 --> 00:26:36.170 Yeah, I'm sure it's not. Okay, so once you've 00:26:36.170 --> 00:26:39.150 got your first hostage in the pit, though, at 00:26:39.150 --> 00:26:40.690 this moment, I'm assuming it's your downstairs 00:26:40.690 --> 00:26:43.470 neighbor. Yeah. Who's second hostage? Like, who's 00:26:43.470 --> 00:26:46.390 your first, like, they're a hostage hostage? 00:26:47.890 --> 00:26:50.089 The first person that knocks on the downstairs 00:26:50.089 --> 00:26:52.529 neighbor's store. Oh, yeah. Do you have, like, 00:26:52.569 --> 00:26:54.569 some kind of cool vacuum machine that, like, 00:26:54.569 --> 00:26:57.589 pulls them in? No. Do you have one of those, 00:26:57.670 --> 00:27:00.970 like, funhouse, like, tunnels where it fills 00:27:00.970 --> 00:27:02.910 up and it's, like, you have to push through a 00:27:02.910 --> 00:27:05.950 vagina and then, like, you can't go backwards 00:27:05.950 --> 00:27:08.289 because there's probably thorns? Oh, yeah. One 00:27:08.289 --> 00:27:11.430 of the... Oh, you do have that. Okay, cool. That's 00:27:11.430 --> 00:27:15.599 a starting point. Really quick. But yeah, so 00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.579 you start getting hostages. I think at some point 00:27:18.579 --> 00:27:20.660 you need to get the word out that you have the 00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:23.859 hostages, though. So that's what M. Bison was 00:27:23.859 --> 00:27:28.000 doing. Yeah, for $20 billion. Yeah, I guess you 00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:30.759 need soldiers at that point to defend. It helps. 00:27:31.619 --> 00:27:36.359 What was up with the forced narrative that Bison 00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:41.759 is like a drug kingpin? They're like terrorists 00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:46.940 and drug... Overlord, M. Bison. It's like, why 00:27:46.940 --> 00:27:48.839 is he talking about drugs? I know it's cool to 00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:51.339 hate on drugs. That might have been how he got 00:27:51.339 --> 00:27:54.220 the start of this empire, I would think. I don't 00:27:54.220 --> 00:27:56.140 know. It just feels like it was unnecessary to 00:27:56.140 --> 00:27:59.160 shoehorn drugs into this movie. I mean, Van Damme 00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:03.359 did enough of that. I mean, he had to get to 00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:05.740 power somehow, and it might have been like an 00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:08.460 established drug empire. I don't remember that 00:28:08.460 --> 00:28:11.500 on my Super Nintendo. I just remember in the 00:28:11.500 --> 00:28:14.890 arcade, always. don't do drugs before Street 00:28:14.890 --> 00:28:17.869 Fighter even started. Maybe that was a Capcom 00:28:17.869 --> 00:28:22.990 request. Was Bison a good character in Street 00:28:22.990 --> 00:28:26.289 Fighter? Was he playable? Yeah. Oh, he was great 00:28:26.289 --> 00:28:29.349 to play. He was the cheapest character, I think. 00:28:29.470 --> 00:28:36.589 Yeah. Easiest to win. Unless, except in Street 00:28:36.589 --> 00:28:41.759 Fighter 2, is it Turbo? Where you get the secret 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:44.339 character, what's his name, Akumi? Oh, yeah. 00:28:44.339 --> 00:28:47.680 He's, like, the alternate, like, end boss and 00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:50.359 is, like, hands down the most powerful character 00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:54.640 in the game. Even the dumbed -down player version 00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:57.880 of him is, like, he's, like, banned in tournaments. 00:28:58.099 --> 00:29:01.380 A sad non -inclusion in the movie. I mean, they'd 00:29:01.380 --> 00:29:05.559 already, like, Nighthawk or Nighthawk. T -Hawk. 00:29:05.819 --> 00:29:08.799 Yeah, T -Hawk, T -Hawk, yeah. Who are some of 00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:10.519 the other weird ones? I don't know. They had 00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:14.019 a bunch of the nobodies. I like DJ's expanded 00:29:14.019 --> 00:29:21.680 role. DJ, the Jamaican musician. Evil tech. Yeah. 00:29:22.019 --> 00:29:25.759 Who has a line about, you know, I'm going to 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:28.099 try to go back and work at Microsoft after this 00:29:28.099 --> 00:29:30.420 or something like that, which I was wondering 00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:34.059 was the earliest Microsoft reference. That is 00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:37.049 probably the best. I wouldn't work at Microsoft 00:29:37.049 --> 00:29:40.150 if I could work with folk like that. He seems 00:29:40.150 --> 00:29:47.329 rad, actually. The old days. Okay, so we've arrested 00:29:47.329 --> 00:29:51.750 everybody. I'm going to try to... I know I'm 00:29:51.750 --> 00:29:54.410 going to interrupt, so I'll just jump in. So 00:29:54.410 --> 00:29:58.609 everybody gets arrested. They're thrown into 00:29:58.609 --> 00:30:03.700 cells. At this point, what, like... Chun -Li 00:30:03.700 --> 00:30:07.099 breaks in to figure out where this other homing 00:30:07.099 --> 00:30:11.579 beacon is coming from. And oh my god, it's Guile 00:30:11.579 --> 00:30:13.240 in the morgue. Oh wait, no, I jumped some stuff. 00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:21.140 So they hire Ken and Ryu to get themselves shoehorned 00:30:21.140 --> 00:30:24.900 or forced into Sagat's crew. And to do it, they're 00:30:24.900 --> 00:30:28.599 like, oh, we'll orchestrate this escape. They 00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:32.029 don't tell you any of this. You'll shoot. Guile, 00:30:32.029 --> 00:30:35.289 and they'll be so overwhelmed with joy that you're 00:30:35.289 --> 00:30:38.269 in, and then you'll help give us the bad guys. 00:30:38.930 --> 00:30:42.670 So all that happens. Guile's in a morgue. Chun 00:30:42.670 --> 00:30:44.509 -Li shows up, and it's like, oh, you're still 00:30:44.509 --> 00:30:46.630 alive. And he's like, I wouldn't give you an 00:30:46.630 --> 00:30:48.809 interview when I was alive. Why would I do it 00:30:48.809 --> 00:30:53.890 when I'm dead? Pan to the camera. Such a stupid 00:30:53.890 --> 00:30:56.470 scene. God, I hated that one. Well, you've got 00:30:56.470 --> 00:30:58.690 to develop that chemistry, you know, scene by 00:30:58.690 --> 00:31:01.660 scene. And then Guile's like, get her out of 00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:04.740 here, and some soldiers take her away. From there, 00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:13.579 we start... Oh, we go to the Sagat bison world. 00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:17.660 So I really liked this area, because bison... 00:31:18.170 --> 00:31:21.190 chooses to celebrate everything that's going 00:31:21.190 --> 00:31:24.369 on by having some kind of weird terrorist carnival 00:31:24.369 --> 00:31:27.349 where it's just people like selling guns and 00:31:27.349 --> 00:31:29.990 shit out front and then you've got like a Cirque 00:31:29.990 --> 00:31:32.730 du Soleil thing happening inside. It seemed like 00:31:32.730 --> 00:31:35.650 a cool party, honestly. Yeah. Oh my God. All 00:31:35.650 --> 00:31:39.490 the fucking gun runners get together and watch 00:31:39.490 --> 00:31:43.750 an aerialist. Cool. That's a lot of fun. I would 00:31:43.750 --> 00:31:46.900 hang out with. you know bison he he would have 00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:50.180 won me over on that shit i mean he won you over 00:31:50.180 --> 00:31:56.059 well before so lo and behold the the aerialist 00:31:56.059 --> 00:31:58.180 turns out to be chung lee and like her whole 00:31:58.180 --> 00:32:01.400 crew is there and they're trying to do some shit 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:05.539 to stop bison and uh they they get in there and 00:32:05.539 --> 00:32:07.960 it's like oh we're gonna blow up all your weapons 00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:12.700 and so they set that all up and In the lead up 00:32:12.700 --> 00:32:15.000 to that, when she's on TV being like, Bison, 00:32:15.220 --> 00:32:19.680 I'm going to fuck you over. Ken and Ryu are like 00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:24.119 getting found out for like being like, oh, there's 00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:25.779 traitors or whatever. And they're like, oh, we're 00:32:25.779 --> 00:32:28.140 going to take you guys. And they're like, oh, 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.680 well, we're not the traitors. They're over there 00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:34.700 and like sell out Chun -Li and all of them. So 00:32:34.700 --> 00:32:38.039 that just makes them even more Bison troopers. 00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:41.059 Which gets us more of my favorite character in 00:32:41.059 --> 00:32:43.420 this, and that's Zangief. We haven't talked about 00:32:43.420 --> 00:32:45.460 Zangief the whole time. Oh, Zangief was the other 00:32:45.460 --> 00:32:48.559 bad guy that we forgot to mention earlier. He 00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:51.180 is awesome. I love everything about this guy, 00:32:51.180 --> 00:32:54.380 from his eyes that are too close together to 00:32:54.380 --> 00:32:58.700 the stupid sideways thumb thing, because he doesn't 00:32:58.700 --> 00:33:01.779 understand thumbs up or thumbs down. Doesn't 00:33:01.779 --> 00:33:05.609 understand that he's a bad guy. That's the biggest 00:33:05.609 --> 00:33:11.349 twist, I feel. He's just so stupid. He's my favorite. 00:33:11.670 --> 00:33:15.269 I just was constantly confused as to what... 00:33:15.269 --> 00:33:18.190 I know this sounds ridiculous. What the motives 00:33:18.190 --> 00:33:22.130 of Ryu and Ken were. They seemed to just kind 00:33:22.130 --> 00:33:25.190 of change sides. And I couldn't tell if they 00:33:25.190 --> 00:33:27.509 were, like, being sneaky, like, oh, like, let's 00:33:27.509 --> 00:33:29.190 just, like, get in their good graces more by 00:33:29.190 --> 00:33:31.910 selling out Chun -Li and E -Honda and whatever. 00:33:31.910 --> 00:33:33.869 They mentioned selling about, like, losing their 00:33:33.869 --> 00:33:35.910 passports or something. I'm trying to remember. 00:33:36.509 --> 00:33:38.450 Oh, yeah, they keep... Oh, yeah. Guile keeps, 00:33:38.470 --> 00:33:41.430 like, withholding their passports. Which, I mean, 00:33:41.470 --> 00:33:45.730 like, whatever. Yeah. No, I think they were definitely 00:33:45.730 --> 00:33:51.549 trying to keep from getting killed. So they were 00:33:51.549 --> 00:33:55.640 just doing whatever they could. to not get found 00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:59.319 out yeah and then also like repeatedly going 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:01.559 back and be like hey guys we're still cool right 00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:05.160 like they go into after this try to break out 00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:09.500 e -honda and uh balrog and oh then they get choked 00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:12.539 out and there's funny miscommunication with choking 00:34:12.539 --> 00:34:16.280 and remember at this point my um like i watched 00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:20.659 this two nights ago my daughter margo nine -year 00:34:20.659 --> 00:34:24.000 -old like She likes to run downstairs, you know, 00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:25.679 if she knows we're watching a movie, especially 00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:27.820 one that she considered to be violent. And she 00:34:27.820 --> 00:34:30.079 got to see a lot of shooting. She's very excited 00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:31.699 about it. But then she's kind of sitting there 00:34:31.699 --> 00:34:35.059 bored. And like Chun -Li strikes M. Bison in 00:34:35.059 --> 00:34:37.760 some way that's like somewhat hurtful to him 00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.059 by like blowing something up. And she was like, 00:34:40.139 --> 00:34:43.039 oh, my God, I've been waiting so long for them 00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:46.559 to blow up a car. And they finally did it. Yeah, 00:34:46.619 --> 00:34:49.210 that must be when they blew up all those. But 00:34:49.210 --> 00:34:52.630 I still can't remember what strike did Chun -Li, 00:34:52.670 --> 00:34:55.809 like, you know, inflict upon M. Bice. Just blew 00:34:55.809 --> 00:34:59.070 up some bombs or something like that. Yeah, they 00:34:59.070 --> 00:35:01.429 put a bomb in their, like, circus truck and, 00:35:01.449 --> 00:35:03.230 like, rolled it down and, like, blew up all of 00:35:03.230 --> 00:35:05.530 the weapons he was trying to sell. Oh, yeah. 00:35:05.989 --> 00:35:08.150 It's like, oh, we're going to blow up your weapons. 00:35:08.510 --> 00:35:12.690 But my favorite line in this whole movie. And 00:35:12.690 --> 00:35:15.010 the one that I remember, but like I thought it 00:35:15.010 --> 00:35:17.670 was from like a history book or something like 00:35:17.670 --> 00:35:21.150 that or like some like it's to me, it's like 00:35:21.150 --> 00:35:24.130 such a good line when like Chun -Li has been 00:35:24.130 --> 00:35:28.369 captured by M. Bison and she explains how M. 00:35:28.389 --> 00:35:31.369 Bison came to her village and, you know, her 00:35:31.369 --> 00:35:34.389 dad rallied the farmers and M. Bison, you know, 00:35:34.409 --> 00:35:37.250 had him hung and destroyed. And, you know, it's 00:35:37.250 --> 00:35:39.630 her reason for, you know, hating him. And he's 00:35:39.630 --> 00:35:43.969 like, do you? When M. Bison visited your village, 00:35:44.210 --> 00:35:47.070 that was the most important day in your life. 00:35:47.449 --> 00:35:52.909 To me, it was just Tuesday. Such a baller line. 00:35:53.550 --> 00:35:58.630 It's by a magnitude of 10, the best line in the 00:35:58.630 --> 00:36:02.349 whole. I think that line, along with the majority 00:36:02.349 --> 00:36:05.530 of his performance, but really that line is what 00:36:05.530 --> 00:36:08.829 just kills it for most people with this film 00:36:08.829 --> 00:36:11.030 and with Raul Julia's character and performance. 00:36:11.949 --> 00:36:15.110 is like the fucking just straightforward way 00:36:15.110 --> 00:36:18.309 he's like no i swore that was like a well i like 00:36:18.309 --> 00:36:20.849 well -known line i talked to my partner megan 00:36:20.849 --> 00:36:22.849 i was like hey you know this line right you know 00:36:22.849 --> 00:36:25.130 to me it was just tuesday she's like no i've 00:36:25.130 --> 00:36:27.309 never heard that line before i'm like i swear 00:36:27.309 --> 00:36:32.230 that's the famous cinematic like you know i feel 00:36:32.230 --> 00:36:35.610 like i know it in my bones yeah it was definitely 00:36:35.610 --> 00:36:38.440 like this movie this movie has this line in it. 00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:42.760 No, it's a, there's gotta be nothing more culturally 00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:47.199 important.

It's just like, it's just like 00:38:08.219 --> 00:38:11.539 the most stupidly edited together, like orange 00:38:11.539 --> 00:38:14.820 flames and like, like maybe face melting scream 00:38:14.820 --> 00:38:17.099 guy and then a burning building and this and 00:38:17.099 --> 00:38:19.099 that is like, this is going to teach him to be 00:38:19.099 --> 00:38:22.340 like super aggressive and angry. And later when 00:38:22.340 --> 00:38:26.019 Dhalsim gets his, his chance to try to reverse 00:38:26.019 --> 00:38:29.599 it. He's just showing him like weddings and puppies 00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:31.260 and shit. And it's like, this is going to fix 00:38:31.260 --> 00:38:33.780 him. But at that point, he's already like the 00:38:33.780 --> 00:38:36.960 biggest foreheaded green guy with his stupid 00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:40.800 orange, like a fucking Sideshow Bob hair or whatever. 00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:46.400 It's... And, like, every three minutes his muscle 00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:49.579 mass would go up by 1%. Oh, yeah. Muscle mass. 00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:56.519 50%. Meanwhile, he's, like, screaming in agony, 00:38:56.719 --> 00:39:01.000 which I just freaking love. Yeah. I assume it's 00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:05.019 very painful to be watching weddings all the 00:39:05.019 --> 00:39:08.860 time. But it's also part of, like, a theatric, 00:39:08.860 --> 00:39:12.309 like, plot. to kind of dramatically murder the 00:39:12.309 --> 00:39:16.050 hostages by not just kind of like machine gunning 00:39:16.050 --> 00:39:18.590 them but like oh you strip away their humanity 00:39:18.590 --> 00:39:22.710 blanca up to like go go isn't that the plan at 00:39:22.710 --> 00:39:25.030 the end i feel like he's like he's supposed to 00:39:25.030 --> 00:39:28.010 be like a super soldier yeah oh yeah yeah they 00:39:28.010 --> 00:39:30.610 were gonna kill the hostages by releasing blanca 00:39:30.610 --> 00:39:33.989 in there and then they lift it up and like guile 00:39:33.989 --> 00:39:38.309 comes like Doing that cool flying kick. Flying 00:39:38.309 --> 00:39:41.929 kick. Then takes out his gun and fails to shoot. 00:39:42.409 --> 00:39:48.590 Oh, man. Yeah, he looked so coked out, too, in 00:39:48.590 --> 00:39:51.929 that shot. This, like, knowledge about his cocaine 00:39:51.929 --> 00:39:54.150 use, which I didn't have previous to this, just 00:39:54.150 --> 00:39:56.889 explains. And it's funny because, like, the one 00:39:56.889 --> 00:40:01.789 piece of, like, Jean -Claude, like, media that 00:40:01.789 --> 00:40:03.590 I turned to, I was like, you know what I really 00:40:03.590 --> 00:40:06.179 want to see? I was like, I want to see that Volvo 00:40:06.179 --> 00:40:10.239 commercial of him doing the splits. Oh, yeah, 00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:12.539 between the two trucks. With Enya playing. I 00:40:12.539 --> 00:40:15.400 was like, oh, man. He's in such a better place 00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:18.960 now. Yeah, he did clean up after this. So that's 00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:21.739 probably for the best. Eventually, yeah. I think 00:40:21.739 --> 00:40:23.760 everybody gets one Street Fighter and then you 00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:26.719 have to clean up. Oh, shouldn't have done that. 00:40:27.380 --> 00:40:29.679 I can't wait for my Street Fighter. I hope this 00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:33.980 podcast isn't my Street Fighter. Oh, shit. That 00:40:33.980 --> 00:40:38.559 silence says a lot. So, we've got Blanca. He's 00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:41.239 gonna be the bad, like, killer of the hostages. 00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:43.880 Everything is like, we're in a full -on, like, 00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:46.380 battle. We've got a stealth boat that came up 00:40:46.380 --> 00:40:50.260 and brought... Okay. It wasn't that stealth, 00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:53.260 right? Who sends a supersonic, like, stealth 00:40:53.260 --> 00:40:57.420 boat with a giant wake behind it? Stealth boat. 00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:01.809 Activate stealth mode. Take out... machine gun 00:41:01.809 --> 00:41:06.070 turrets and just mow down the radar uh sensors 00:41:06.070 --> 00:41:11.230 not in any way like discreet no it's like why 00:41:11.230 --> 00:41:13.530 do you need to take out all the radar if you're 00:41:13.530 --> 00:41:16.769 stealthed that should be doing it for you i'm 00:41:16.769 --> 00:41:19.210 sorry can we back up a little bit because like 00:41:19.210 --> 00:41:22.969 i there's i want to say this happens after my 00:41:22.969 --> 00:41:26.289 favorite scene of this entire thing and it's 00:41:26.289 --> 00:41:30.400 where like You got like the A .N. representative, 00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:34.179 the political guy. The dork. The dork. And he's 00:41:34.179 --> 00:41:38.360 all like, you got to tell your men we struck 00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:42.860 a deal. And, you know, the war is off. And then 00:41:42.860 --> 00:41:47.320 and then Guile is all like, you know. Fuck you, 00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:52.079 man. I'm going rogue. I'm taking my band of soldiers 00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.860 and we're going to disregard all the chain of 00:41:55.860 --> 00:41:59.519 command shit. He just got fired, so there's no 00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:01.739 chain of command for him. We're going to do our 00:42:01.739 --> 00:42:05.440 own thing. And I just absolutely love the idea 00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:09.059 of just bands of soldiers going rogue and doing 00:42:09.059 --> 00:42:11.309 whatever they want. I mean, that's really... 00:42:11.309 --> 00:42:13.349 And they try to promote this as a good thing. 00:42:13.550 --> 00:42:17.030 Like, we're fighting for justice. Yeah. Meanwhile, 00:42:17.889 --> 00:42:22.329 full anarchy. I love that later when the dork's 00:42:22.329 --> 00:42:26.210 on the phone with his boss and he's like, are 00:42:26.210 --> 00:42:28.690 there any soldiers left? And he's like, some. 00:42:28.829 --> 00:42:33.150 And it's just a cook sitting there. Boiling shoes 00:42:33.150 --> 00:42:35.429 or whatever. That's where I'd rather be, frankly. 00:42:35.610 --> 00:42:39.719 I'm not going into war. No way. Not even if you 00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:44.059 could ride in a stealth boat. So, you know, they 00:42:44.059 --> 00:42:48.099 had the stealth boat added in later on because 00:42:48.099 --> 00:42:52.840 Thailand refused to let them have airspace. So 00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:55.960 they weren't allowed to fly planes for an aerial 00:42:55.960 --> 00:42:58.820 assault. So they're like, I don't know, fucking 00:42:58.820 --> 00:43:02.920 stealth boat? Okay, stealth boat. Did you guys 00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:06.409 pick up on the arcade? machine that M. Bison 00:43:06.409 --> 00:43:13.329 used to slowly release water mines to blow up 00:43:13.329 --> 00:43:16.130 the sailboat. That was so awesome. That was a 00:43:16.130 --> 00:43:18.550 nice touch. Yeah, it was a nice nod. I liked 00:43:18.550 --> 00:43:24.230 that a lot. So we get full -on assault. We get 00:43:24.230 --> 00:43:29.849 Chun -Li fighting Bison at some point, I think. 00:43:29.949 --> 00:43:33.420 But it's mostly Guile. This is really the Guile 00:43:33.420 --> 00:43:39.159 -Bison showdown. It happens on platforms. I really 00:43:39.159 --> 00:43:41.480 like when Guile's up on that platform and all 00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:43.639 those soldiers, those Bison soldiers show up 00:43:43.639 --> 00:43:45.900 and he just pulls out his knife and they all 00:43:45.900 --> 00:43:47.699 back away and he's like, yeah, I'm real fucking 00:43:47.699 --> 00:43:50.019 tough. And it's like, no, he's got a bunch of 00:43:50.019 --> 00:43:54.059 soldiers behind him. He's like, you really thought 00:43:54.059 --> 00:43:56.079 they were afraid of you with a single knife, 00:43:56.219 --> 00:44:01.019 a fixed blade knife? Awesome. Cocaine. that was 00:44:01.019 --> 00:44:03.420 such a stupid scene though because like like 00:44:03.420 --> 00:44:05.900 up until that moment like everything he did was 00:44:05.900 --> 00:44:11.039 totally badass yeah yeah i mean yeah badass but 00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:13.739 goofy as fuck yeah like i think everything has 00:44:13.739 --> 00:44:17.860 a little little shine of goofiness on it in this 00:44:17.860 --> 00:44:20.619 movie and that i mean yeah that's the charm of 00:44:20.619 --> 00:44:23.840 it all it's like it's a bad movie but it's done 00:44:23.840 --> 00:44:26.519 knowing that it's not great i think So then he 00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:29.519 starts going on about superconductors for no 00:44:29.519 --> 00:44:31.539 reason. So we have a fight, and then it gets 00:44:31.539 --> 00:44:37.420 scientific, and in the end, everything explodes. 00:44:38.280 --> 00:44:41.019 So what is this? Self -destruct? Yeah, there's 00:44:41.019 --> 00:44:44.420 a self -destruct. So Bison self -destructs everything? 00:44:44.579 --> 00:44:47.820 I kind of forget. No, it's in the fight. Somebody 00:44:47.820 --> 00:44:49.800 gets knocked over onto the controller, I think, 00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:52.760 and it just... Really? Yeah, remember there was 00:44:52.760 --> 00:44:54.599 the plunger that brought them up to, like, yellow 00:44:54.599 --> 00:44:57.139 alert. And then somebody gets, like, punched 00:44:57.139 --> 00:44:59.280 into it, and when they fall on it, I think that's 00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.579 what switches it to self -destruct. If they don't 00:45:01.579 --> 00:45:03.920 turn on the actual self -destruct, someone's 00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:05.159 punched into it. There's absolutely no way that 00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:07.940 there's no safeguards for, like, the fortress 00:45:07.940 --> 00:45:11.619 self -destructing. You know how, like, you got, 00:45:11.659 --> 00:45:14.059 like, the two keys on either side of the console 00:45:14.059 --> 00:45:17.739 that are too far apart? Not necessary. This comes 00:45:17.739 --> 00:45:21.219 after you've had $20 billion to invest in a second 00:45:21.219 --> 00:45:28.289 keyhole. God freaking dang it. That's a really 00:45:28.289 --> 00:45:33.610 fast self -destruct thing. I mean, it did give 00:45:33.610 --> 00:45:37.489 them a lot of time. I think we also skipped over 00:45:37.489 --> 00:45:42.570 maybe the darkest scene in the movie, which is 00:45:42.570 --> 00:45:48.510 while he's in his stealth boat, Guile looks at 00:45:48.510 --> 00:45:51.369 a little video of him and Lieutenant Blanco. 00:45:52.030 --> 00:45:55.469 Like having a barbecue with their wives, you 00:45:55.469 --> 00:45:58.409 know, back in, you know, Texas or wherever. And 00:45:58.409 --> 00:46:01.190 then kind of, you know, looks wistfully and then 00:46:01.190 --> 00:46:05.429 gets there, finds, you know, Blanca, the monster. 00:46:06.150 --> 00:46:09.429 It's like, what did they do to you, man? It's 00:46:09.429 --> 00:46:11.789 like, help me. He's like, I will. And he just 00:46:11.789 --> 00:46:15.150 like puts a gun to his head. He's like, waits 00:46:15.150 --> 00:46:17.769 for a really long time, but he's planning to 00:46:17.769 --> 00:46:20.599 just kill his friend. There's nothing to try 00:46:20.599 --> 00:46:23.800 here. I've tried everything. So I'm exhausted 00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:29.280 all options. No, wait. I gave him 51 % good. 00:46:30.940 --> 00:46:34.650 I gave him the puppies for like. A solid hour. 00:46:35.349 --> 00:46:38.929 One second longer than the murder shit. He's 00:46:38.929 --> 00:46:40.530 like, all right, all right. Okay, cool. I won't 00:46:40.530 --> 00:46:42.289 kill my best friend. That's a good point. Thank 00:46:42.289 --> 00:46:44.530 you. But you have to take him. Yeah. I can't 00:46:44.530 --> 00:46:46.969 deal with him. He's fucking ugly now. Really. 00:46:47.110 --> 00:46:49.250 I honestly thought his future was just going 00:46:49.250 --> 00:46:52.030 to be a puppy murderer. Oh, yeah. He has capacity 00:46:52.030 --> 00:46:57.110 for good and evil. Like, okay. If we ever get 00:46:57.110 --> 00:47:01.690 Street Fighter the movie to... Same cast. Yeah, 00:47:01.710 --> 00:47:05.719 same cast. But based on Street Fighter 3. Well, 00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:08.199 because this one was based on Street Fighter 00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:10.619 2. Street Fighter the movie based on Street Fighter 00:47:10.619 --> 00:47:13.980 2 the game. So Street Fighter 2 the movie has 00:47:13.980 --> 00:47:18.079 to be based on like 3? 4? What's different in 00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:22.460 3? I don't remember. I mean 2 is the best one. 00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:27.079 It's the only one I know. Because it also had 00:47:27.079 --> 00:47:32.000 like 7 different releases. Everyone's just sprinkling 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:34.260 in a new character here and there, but nothing 00:47:34.260 --> 00:47:36.260 else really changed. Maybe a couple graphics 00:47:36.260 --> 00:47:41.300 updates, but yeah. So he attempts to just fucking 00:47:41.300 --> 00:47:46.199 murk Blanka and gets shut down by Dhalsim. Did 00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:48.219 we even ever see... Yeah, Dhalsim does stretch 00:47:48.219 --> 00:47:52.179 at one point. Does he? No. He did not have a 00:47:52.179 --> 00:47:54.300 single stretch? I thought he had a stretch. I 00:47:54.300 --> 00:47:56.219 thought there was some... I didn't even know 00:47:56.219 --> 00:47:59.030 he was an actual... I guess if we couldn't have 00:47:59.030 --> 00:48:01.369 a Hadouken, we probably can't have a Stretch 00:48:01.369 --> 00:48:05.289 Armstrong. There was an E. Honda slap scene at 00:48:05.289 --> 00:48:08.630 some point, I feel like. I mean, because as a 00:48:08.630 --> 00:48:11.429 kid, that's what you're just like, give me their 00:48:11.429 --> 00:48:14.530 moves. I just want a sequence of scenes leading 00:48:14.530 --> 00:48:16.610 to people doing the moves. Yeah, that's what 00:48:16.610 --> 00:48:19.630 I wanted this week. Yeah, honestly, I was a little 00:48:19.630 --> 00:48:22.179 disappointed. But it did make up for it in a 00:48:22.179 --> 00:48:25.320 lot of ways, yeah. So Fortress starts self -destructing 00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:30.340 because somebody just knocked over an elbow and 00:48:30.340 --> 00:48:35.119 hit the self -destruct button. So Fortress self 00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:38.820 -destructs. DJ and Sagat run off with their chest 00:48:38.820 --> 00:48:42.179 full of money, which once they're on a boat turns 00:48:42.179 --> 00:48:44.980 out to be bison bucks, so kind of screwed there. 00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:48.900 Five British pounds each. For probably the lot 00:48:48.900 --> 00:48:53.690 of it. all the allied nation soldiers get together 00:48:53.690 --> 00:48:56.889 and they're all like oh guile didn't make it 00:48:56.889 --> 00:48:59.869 but then he comes out after an explosion like 00:48:59.869 --> 00:49:03.710 classic uh cammy was crying because she's horny 00:49:03.710 --> 00:49:07.989 and nobody else cared i think they hugged and 00:49:07.989 --> 00:49:13.789 then they all like posed oh my gosh they really 00:49:13.789 --> 00:49:15.789 did hit that pose at the end they really did 00:49:15.789 --> 00:49:21.670 did you see the after credits scene uh at some 00:49:21.670 --> 00:49:24.750 point, probably, but I haven't cared. Amazon 00:49:24.750 --> 00:49:27.650 switched me off immediately and started playing 00:49:27.650 --> 00:49:32.110 Major Pain. You got Major Pain? That's what it 00:49:32.110 --> 00:49:35.150 suggested would be the best follow -up. This 00:49:35.150 --> 00:49:38.789 one was so friggin' stupid, and I absolutely 00:49:38.789 --> 00:49:41.769 love it. So, like, okay, credits roll, and then 00:49:41.769 --> 00:49:48.030 you meet, like, some, like, underground ruins, 00:49:48.130 --> 00:49:52.769 basically, just absolute rubble. And then, you 00:49:52.769 --> 00:49:56.110 know, it's like basically a very slow powering 00:49:56.110 --> 00:49:59.730 on of Bison's systems. It's all like, and then 00:49:59.730 --> 00:50:02.349 it starts, you know, rejuvenating him, doing 00:50:02.349 --> 00:50:05.030 the whole, you know, thing. And then he's all 00:50:05.030 --> 00:50:08.250 like, I'm back online. What do I do now? And 00:50:08.250 --> 00:50:12.849 then it's like, it shows his options on the computer 00:50:12.849 --> 00:50:18.130 screen. And it's like. file open save undo world 00:50:18.130 --> 00:50:27.150 domination oh my god i freaking love that i yeah 00:50:27.150 --> 00:50:32.010 that is that is it is a crime there was no sequel 00:50:32.010 --> 00:50:36.730 yeah i mean boy that's rough like even if there 00:50:36.730 --> 00:50:39.610 was enough hype about this movie to get a sequel 00:50:40.250 --> 00:50:43.369 Just like knowing, well, you just teased that 00:50:43.369 --> 00:50:46.409 there could be more bison, but there can be no 00:50:46.409 --> 00:50:52.210 bison. Yeah. He was amazing in that. No, he was 00:50:52.210 --> 00:50:55.269 great. Yeah. Terrific actor. There's so many 00:50:55.269 --> 00:50:57.650 different things that happen in the movie and 00:50:57.650 --> 00:51:00.989 they're so kind of just disconnected. They just 00:51:00.989 --> 00:51:04.300 kind of happen in sequence. I was like trying 00:51:04.300 --> 00:51:06.739 to follow it for a while and then kind of realized 00:51:06.739 --> 00:51:11.079 actually just shut up. It's mostly a let it go. 00:51:11.219 --> 00:51:13.519 There's some weird things that are in this film 00:51:13.519 --> 00:51:16.760 that like I noticed and like would have to like 00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:21.420 kind of look up like in the Bison Chung Lee cocktail 00:51:21.420 --> 00:51:24.719 scene when it pans across this room and there's 00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:29.039 that clown dictator painting. It's like a direct. 00:51:29.659 --> 00:51:32.920 like, homage to Gacy's Pogo the Clown, the way 00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:37.320 it's painted, but in M. Bison clothing. Oh, damn. 00:51:37.820 --> 00:51:41.699 Just, uh, that's weird. Weird reference. Yeah. 00:51:42.619 --> 00:51:47.380 I enjoy that, uh, Bison is an ableist and makes 00:51:47.380 --> 00:51:50.139 fun of Sagat's missing eye. I really... Yeah, 00:51:50.139 --> 00:51:52.059 he went hard. Yeah, he's like a real dickhead. 00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:56.500 He's like, oh, you didn't see that? But it's 00:51:56.500 --> 00:51:59.059 so mean. It's like, you didn't see it. It's like, 00:51:59.999 --> 00:52:03.219 really driving it home. Yeah. And, uh, I mean, 00:52:03.239 --> 00:52:07.059 like, I could justify this, but, like, in Washington, 00:52:07.139 --> 00:52:09.340 it's like, why the fuck is there a giant bell 00:52:09.340 --> 00:52:12.519 inside of Bison's command center? Like, twice 00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:14.380 they throw somebody into it, so you get the, 00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:16.659 like, head gonging sound. It's like, okay, sure, 00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:19.260 it was a temple once upon a time, but, like, 00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:21.500 that's fucking weird. Yeah. Like, if I was setting 00:52:21.500 --> 00:52:24.579 up a, like, command center, that's a lot of real 00:52:24.579 --> 00:52:27.340 estate. I'd get that out of here. question though 00:52:27.340 --> 00:52:31.219 what was the floating platform for i mean it 00:52:31.219 --> 00:52:33.239 seemed like they spent a lot of money on that 00:52:33.239 --> 00:52:36.159 floating platform i don't know if it had a reason 00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:38.519 other than to kind of i think it was just really 00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:41.920 into superconductors yeah floating doctors it 00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:44.400 is really cool i think it's like he was getting 00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:46.679 a little sidetracked from his world domination 00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:48.940 thing and it's like you know what i bet i could 00:52:48.940 --> 00:52:52.380 do i bet i could make superconductors work and 00:52:52.380 --> 00:52:55.989 make them make me fly I don't know. I figure 00:52:55.989 --> 00:53:00.630 if you're going to be a top -tier dictator and 00:53:00.630 --> 00:53:04.449 world dominator, you need something to set you 00:53:04.449 --> 00:53:08.090 apart early on. What's better than floating above 00:53:08.090 --> 00:53:12.190 your troops and yelling down at them with your 00:53:12.190 --> 00:53:15.630 joystick commands and everything? I mean, look 00:53:15.630 --> 00:53:18.809 at everybody else who's ever had it. Eggman or 00:53:18.809 --> 00:53:21.920 Professor whatever from Sonic. He had a floating 00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:25.000 platform. He did. He had a floating platform. 00:53:25.380 --> 00:53:29.179 Koopa had a floating platform. Emperor Palpatine 00:53:29.179 --> 00:53:31.860 floating platform. Everybody in the Senate did. 00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:36.280 I do like to lord over people. I see the appeal. 00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:40.739 Exactly. Float over a hostage pit. It feels good. 00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:44.719 You want some food down there? Just drop it on 00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:48.679 them. Sprinkles like they're pigeons. Pigeons 00:53:48.679 --> 00:53:52.769 who've had their... White feathers clipped. You 00:53:52.769 --> 00:53:56.510 guys, you know how much it made? I don't know 00:53:56.510 --> 00:53:58.409 shit about any of this. They fucking made this 00:53:58.409 --> 00:54:01.789 movie for $35 million. What? Seems like a lot. 00:54:01.889 --> 00:54:05.989 That's so much money. $35 million, 1994 dollars. 00:54:06.630 --> 00:54:09.610 That's a poor choice on your part. It did gross, 00:54:09.710 --> 00:54:14.309 like globally, 99 .4. So, it pulled in a lot 00:54:14.309 --> 00:54:17.429 of money. Nobody liked it, but it made a lot 00:54:17.429 --> 00:54:20.320 of money. uh would you kind of like uh i guess 00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:23.179 made everybody believe that yeah we can make 00:54:23.179 --> 00:54:27.960 movies about comic books and uh video games and 00:54:27.960 --> 00:54:30.599 all these other little franchises there's a there's 00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:33.300 a market out there when did the mortal kombat 00:54:33.300 --> 00:54:36.440 movie come out in really like was this same year 00:54:36.440 --> 00:54:40.199 or like one year later so this was the uh the 00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:44.480 impetus the inciting incident that's pretty cool 00:54:44.969 --> 00:54:47.369 Is this actually like the first video game movie 00:54:47.369 --> 00:54:50.909 or something? Probably not like the first, but 00:54:50.909 --> 00:54:54.590 it was the first like big one that I can remember. 00:54:55.110 --> 00:54:58.550 Or Mario, like when did Mario? Oh, Mario came 00:54:58.550 --> 00:55:03.309 out later. Okay. Yeah, you know, I think we've 00:55:03.309 --> 00:55:07.030 got it. The only thing I really noted otherwise, 00:55:07.110 --> 00:55:11.570 aside from, I guess, once the actors found out 00:55:11.570 --> 00:55:16.039 about like the... massage parlors in the area. 00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:18.840 A lot of actors were taking off multiple times 00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:21.619 a day to go get work done. Oh my god. So that 00:55:21.619 --> 00:55:23.219 became a problem. There were a lot of production 00:55:23.219 --> 00:55:25.260 problems between cocaine and... This is amazing. 00:55:25.760 --> 00:55:28.920 Like, hand jobs. I need a new career. And adultery, 00:55:28.940 --> 00:55:32.760 and... What have I been doing with my life? Yeah. 00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:35.539 He was just pumping his muscles. I don't know 00:55:35.539 --> 00:55:37.199 what he was doing. Probably just cocaine. Pumping 00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:41.079 his muscles, yeah. Yeah. Cocaine. Whacking off. 00:55:41.380 --> 00:55:44.739 Kylie Minogue. I mean, take your pick. His fucking 00:55:44.739 --> 00:55:48.599 fourth wife, the one he just married and was 00:55:48.599 --> 00:55:52.039 having a kid with, is also in the movie. She's 00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:54.860 in a scene. Whoa. Like, I can't remember if it's 00:55:54.860 --> 00:55:58.280 the little, like, movie that they pop in. Like, 00:55:58.300 --> 00:56:01.340 why the fuck is there a cassette player inside 00:56:01.340 --> 00:56:03.500 of the... Oh, in the... It's not a cassette player, 00:56:03.519 --> 00:56:05.760 but like a... In the stealth boat, yeah, yeah. 00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:08.019 In the boat, and that's the perfect time to just 00:56:08.019 --> 00:56:10.219 toss it. It's like, I don't have a lot to do 00:56:10.219 --> 00:56:13.280 right now. But his wife's in like a cafe scene 00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:15.519 or something, like seated there with some other 00:56:15.519 --> 00:56:17.900 characters. And it's like, ugh. How many wives 00:56:17.900 --> 00:56:20.239 has Jean -Claude Van Damme had in his romantic? 00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:23.280 I mean, if the over -under was four and a half, 00:56:23.380 --> 00:56:26.179 I'd say over. I would definitely say over. I 00:56:26.179 --> 00:56:28.820 would definitely say fourth was not. Wow, what 00:56:28.820 --> 00:56:30.800 a life. Last, yeah. Yeah, I don't think that 00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:33.360 one made it too far. Fourth wife, third kid. 00:56:33.920 --> 00:56:37.239 I looked up Jean -Claude Van Damme. Never played 00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:41.360 a character named Nick. Raul Julia played somebody 00:56:41.360 --> 00:56:44.780 named Nick in Street Kill. Ming -Na Wen, never 00:56:44.780 --> 00:56:49.440 played in Nick. Damien Chapa, Ken, played in 00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:52.719 Nick in Enemy Within and Love, Hate, and Security. 00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:58.000 Ryu, never in Nick. Kami, she was in a music 00:56:58.000 --> 00:57:01.179 video with Nick Cave. That's pretty Nick adjacent. 00:57:01.199 --> 00:57:07.260 That's close. Sorry, in the cave. Yeah. Cigar, 00:57:07.340 --> 00:57:10.079 basically. He played a Nick in an episode of 00:57:10.079 --> 00:57:11.880 something called Launchpad and something called 00:57:11.880 --> 00:57:16.199 The Roof, which was a short. DJ was a Nick in 00:57:16.199 --> 00:57:21.860 a movie called Clue. C -L -E -W. Wow. Yeah, I 00:57:21.860 --> 00:57:26.519 don't know what that's about. Oh, Balrog. Do 00:57:26.519 --> 00:57:28.599 you know what his, like, the actor's name is? 00:57:29.239 --> 00:57:35.579 His name is Grand L. Bush. What? Yes. That is 00:57:35.579 --> 00:57:38.340 amazing. Oh, man. He played a Nick once in something 00:57:38.340 --> 00:57:42.099 called Hagen. And Blanca was a Nick in Satisfaction. 00:57:42.099 --> 00:57:43.940 So we've got quite a few extra Nicks in here, 00:57:44.039 --> 00:57:46.739 too. And I just thought it was important to look 00:57:46.739 --> 00:57:49.719 that up. Or oops, I'll mix. Just that they had 00:57:49.719 --> 00:57:54.659 so many other roles besides this. The fact that 00:57:54.659 --> 00:58:01.480 they got it. That additional work. I'd make a 00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:04.139 movie like this if they would let me. I would 00:58:04.139 --> 00:58:07.260 let you. I don't have $35 million, but I might 00:58:07.260 --> 00:58:12.460 have $35. It's a start. Awesome. Let's just do 00:58:12.460 --> 00:58:17.750 the... If you can add in the cocaine and massage 00:58:17.750 --> 00:58:21.230 parlors, I can swing that. Well, they're getting 00:58:21.230 --> 00:58:23.550 pretty hard on the massage parlors here in Seattle 00:58:23.550 --> 00:58:25.610 right now. They've been busting a lot of them, 00:58:25.670 --> 00:58:33.170 but... Busting. But I don't know, maybe like 00:58:33.170 --> 00:58:35.550 $35 worth of cocaine, that's not going to get 00:58:35.550 --> 00:58:39.389 us too far either. Maybe I can get you a bump 00:58:39.389 --> 00:58:43.619 and a handy, but... Good enough. All right, let's 00:58:43.619 --> 00:58:48.119 film it. So this has been my dream of talking 00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:49.920 about Street Fighter with a bunch of Knicks. 00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:52.019 I really enjoyed having all these Knicks with 00:58:52.019 --> 00:58:55.380 me.
