The more I look at these pictures, the better idea it seems casting a Blacked Eyed Pea as Vega in the Street Fighter movie. He just looks like such a natural. He calls himself “Taboo.” Because he’s dangerous, you see. And his love is forbidden.
Oh, and might I add… HAIRDOUKEN!

I know how eagerly we’ve all been awaiting a Street Fighter movie, especially since they hired the director of Cradle 2 the Grave and Doom, plus a dancer from the Black Eye Peas to play Vega. Wire fighting? Chris Klein? I couldn’t not see this! Anyway, here’s the newly released Japanese trailer for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. You can tell it’s serious because of the opera-singing in the background. Opera is pretty much the rap-rock of classical music genres. OOOH WHA AA AA-AA!
A new batch of pictures from Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li has hit the web. It’s probably going to suck a lot because there’s a guy from the Black Eyed Peas in it.
In this picture, I believe Michael Clarke Duncan (as Balrog) is saying, "Motherf*cker, what part of ‘mine-o, not yours-o’ don’t you understand?" or possibly, "Don’t you ever touch a black man’s Quizno’s flatbread Sammie!"

Here’s Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas assuring us that when he plays Vega in the upcoming Street Fighter movie, he ain’t gonna be some kinda homo like in the videogame. He is after all a rapper-slash-dancer. Real, consider yourself kept.
Capcom released the cast list for the Street Fighter movie, telling us basically what we already knew:
Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog
Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li
Taboo from Black Eyed Peas/The Scream as Vega
Rick Yune as Gen
Chris Klein as Nash
Little known fact: Taboo got his nickname as a result of his face being illegal in twelve states. The only new news today is that Neal McDonough will play M. Bison - the role that killed Raúl Julia back in ’94.
Today I thought I’d say something nice about this movie, and… well, it’s probably better than having tumors in your face.
