SFII Casting: Bosses

Michael Jai White as Balrog
If the movie makers could get Tyson to cooperate, he'd be perfect because this character was based after him. For those who don't know, "Balrog" was originally named "Mike Bison (aka M.Bison)." They had to shuffle the names for the US release due to legal concerns. Since it's unrealistic to have Tyson play himself, Michael Jai White is my choice. He's more known for his fancy kicks, but he also did a great job playing a boxer in Undisputed II.

David Belle as Vega
Vega climbs, flips, jumps off walls and rolls. David Belle doing all of those things is equivalent to a normal person walking.

Yao Ming as Sagat
How many 7'6" Asians are there anyway? After that, how many have muscles and can move quickly? Yao would be great for this part. They just have to shave his head, put him out in the sun for a bit, give him and eye patch and make him look meaner! I know... I know... he's a basketball player, but I know enough about Yao to say that he won't need a lot of direction when doing the fight scenes.

Billy Chow as Bison
Bison is a tough one to cast, but if you've seen Billy Chow in Fist of Legend, you've already seen Bison! Just change it to a red uniform. That last scene was basically Ryu vs. Bison. It had Jet Li, Billy Chow, non-stop action, crazy combos and breaking of background objects.
