Wow! Thanks, guys!
Typical of Hollywood to throw in too many cooks and completely supercede the very demographic at which the original script aimed before all the many revisions and "personal favors" made it nearly unrecognizable to the fans.
Cheqm8 has the Blanka/Charlie Nash story exactly right. In fact, once you've seen the stoic resolve and spiritual strength of Dhalsim in "Street Fighter II V", it's almost impossible to go back to the first feature film and accept the weak spirited and co-opted "Dr. Dhalsim".
Zangief worked as a personal bodyguard for M. Bison, yes, and that's believable (he also worked for him in both the American and the Japanese TV series). He was opposed to Shadowlaw and all it stood for but he was simply too, well, simple to figure out that his boss was head of that very organization. But Dhalsim working for Bison? Kinda hard to swallow.
And don't get me started on Jean Claude Van Damme as the dyed-in-the-wool All-American Colonel Guile, LOL!
To Vega Fabio Lacerda, plans for a DVD release were being made even before we began shooting the very first episode so I'm betting that's still on the table.
