Live action VF movie (what if?)

    I'm sure this has been done before, but I recently saw Kill Bill and it got me thinking about it again. Who would you cast as the VF characters in a live action movie? Here's my starter wish list:

    Lau: Chow Yun Fat
    Pai: Lucy Liu
    Jacky: Keanu Reeves (bleach his hair)
    Sarah: Uma Thurman
    Shun: Jackie Chan (of course)
    Lion: Seth Green
    Lei Fei: Jet Li (of course)
    Vanessa: Halle Berrey
    Brad: Ben Affleck
    Goh: Jean Reno
    El Blaze: John Leguizamo
    Jeff: Ving Rhames

    Unfortunately I can't think of anyone specific for Akira, Kage, Wolf, Eileen, Aoi, or Taka-Arashi. Akira and Kage should have Japanese actors IMO, but I'm certain Ray Park (aka Darth Maul) would make a good Kage... He has the skills. I'm just not into pro wrestling anymore, but I bet there's a candidate or 2 there for Wolf.

    Anyone else have better suggestions?

    This is what happens when I can't sleep...

    Jeffery: Michael Clark Duncan
    El Blaze: Ray Mysterio
    Lion: Mcauley Caulkin HAHAHAHAHHA! =D

    I agree on Lau, Pai, even jacky, Sarah too... also Shun and Lei Fei....but that's it /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

    Seth Green for Lion would be good, yet he would have to receive some good training... I don't even mind some Chinese guy playing Lion. I just want to see a good performance of Mantis style, not a faked kickboxing shit, that the producers would probably make some whiny blond actor "perform".

    Anyways.... Vanessa played by Halle Berry!? I mean...yeah, she looks good, we know that she can look good with white hair (X-men) but is she such a good actress that she can fight well?
    hmm.... she won an Oscar, didn't she? Okay then.

    Okay, Halle Berry is good, but Jean Reno as Goh !? Is this a joke? You've GOT to be kidding me....... you are, aren't ya?
    Ben Affleck as Brad!? Another joke, right? He sucked as DD, so it's only natural for him to suck even more where he has to use Muay Thai.... I want Tony Jaa with pale skin /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

    John Leguizamo for El Blaze? Well.... if they don't find anyone else....NO! Only one guy can play this char and you all know who... but I'll leave it as Mystery /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

    Jeff? Michael Clarke Duncan with a small beard and mustache would be the best choice I think...you've got to agree on this one. This guy's huuuuuge /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
    There was this movie with Van Damme, The Quest I think was the title, and there was a sumo wrestler there, they could use him as Taka.
    Maybe Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat, or Jackie Chan could play Akira if they know baji:)

    Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa could be used as either Kage, or lau if needed.

    Steven Seagal for Aoi, Winnona Ryder for Eileen, and The Rock for wolf..... but honestly, I have no idea about those three...

    Brad=Mark Dacascos, Chow as lau is a very good choice. Halle berry I don't know... Where would Tony Ja fit in the list???

    The rest of this I'll have to think about and post/edit later, but my choice for Aoi, hands down?

    Ayako Miyake

    She's decent looking, Japanese and she's clearly athletic enough to do anything fancy that might be needed since she's won the Kunoichi obstacle course 3 times in a row.

    vanessa/serena williams as vanessa!
    it would lean more toward vf4 vanessa rather than vf5 though..but i think thats a good choice

    i'd have to go for triple H as wolf

    Ken Watanabe (Kage) and Ayako Miyake (Aoi) are good choices. I've seen Miyake on Ninja Warrior, too. She could definately pull it off with her athletic and performance background. She's a professional dancer, right? But we need someone for Akira. He would be a key role.

    I am serious about Jean Reno. I think he would do Goh justice.
    I can live without Leguizamo... that was sort of a joke. Tom Cruise for El Blaze was my first thought /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif midgets rule!

    Serena Williams as Van would work too. Is she interested in acting someday? Oh wait, I remember seeing that she did a cameo role on some TV show a few years back...

    I originally chose Ben Affleck for Brad because I know he could pull off Brad's attitude and personality... not that he could do his fighting style justice. Hmm... maybe Hugh Jackman?

    Akira is key...

    lol this is a pretty funny thread. I almost wish they would make something with those actors as I can see it being one of the worst movies of all time. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

    I think the bad selection of actors, bad idea for a movie, and a completely retarded script would cancel each other out to make a classic movie that our great grand children will look upon with awe and refer to us as the "greatest generation."

    Yeah, fuck Brokaw, he was off by many decades!

    Suck, yeah from a critical point of view, but it'd be funny as heck. Main problem is mixing actors with fighters. I'd probably go for a cast of stuntmen/women and say to blazes with the acting.

    Still:
    The Rock as Wolf might not be a spot on match, but hey, what are you going to do? Maybe Stellan Skarsgard? (check him with wild red hair in Beowulf & Grendel) I think the rock could work.

    Chow Yun Fat for Lau!
    Have Sammo Hung be a renewed version of Taka who can do back-flips ^_^

    I think Venus Williams (definately not Serena) as Vane is an intruiging idea. At first I thought it was utter rubbish, but a few minutes on its starting to grow on me. Still a tad weird thought though.

    Hello, casting agencies?!

    Hey, I watch Mortal Kombat every time its on...
    Absolutely fantastic stuff. Having Christopher Lambert helps of course. MK2 was a disaster, true.

    If they due a movie based on Virtua Fighter Characters it should be called J6, and not something retarded like Virtua Fighter the Movie. It would trick out movie goers and fans of the game would know exactly what the movie would be!!!
