Neal McDonough is like the definition of a CHUD favorite character actor. He appears in one or two projects of indisputable greatness (like Band of Brothers) but never quite gets the major career bump from them. He works a bunch, though, and is often the best thing in a pretty terrible movie (hey, The Hitcher!), or on a TV show that’s beneath him – where he is, again, the best thing. Now he’s going to be the best thing in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, a movie that is taking the GI Joe approach of seriously bizarre casting. Joining McDonough are Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk, Michael Clark Duncan, Chris Klein, Taboo from Black Eyed Peas and, according to the grossly unreliable IMDB, part-time porn star Edison Chen.*
McDonough will be playing villainous M Bison, the role originally essayed by Raul Julia in the barely watchable 1994 film. The new film is being shot right now in Thailand, and is directed by the talented cinematographer and miserable director Andrzej Bartkowiak from a script by Justin Marks, the guy making his living adapting all the 80s properties that mildly autistic 30 year old fanboys slobber over.
*As someone pointed out below, I got Edison and Edmund Chen mixed up. In my defense all I can say is www.alllooksame.com

Yes, Devin. But will there be any fruity emo dudes?
Fucking Ignored
One of these days, Kristin Kreuk is going to be in something I'd actually watch. One of these days….
Hitcher is awesome. I don't care what anyone says, that movie is a fucking delight from start to finish. I like to watch it back to back with Cage's Wicker Man and just laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh….
Can we have some Ravenous love here? Anyone?
Hey, internet-You care about STREET FIGHTER, G.I. Joe, or TRANSFORMERS? Congratulations, you're a pathetic man-child. Get some taste, film iliterates! (Sorry, Duke Fleed!)
When do we get the Pvt. Reich spin-off prequel we all so desperately want?
Vinz, you ever check out EuroTrip? Kreuk totally sells a sex-addicted bitch slut in that movie. Not sure if she's acting, but I sure bought her portrayal. And, by the way, that's totally where Silverman stole the "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" joke from. Maybe… 🙂
when I saw the headline I was praying that it was a misspelling of (H.I.) M(cDunnough)
Then I would have been interested
I second the Ravenous mention. Good little flick with an entire cast of actors that are great and that never get the type of roles that they should. You are not included in this David Arquette, and sadly you never will.
Did you just call me a mildly autistic slobbering fanboy? Take this, jerk: Sonic BOOM!!!
"mildly autistic 30 year old fanboys slobber over."
