10 Movie Villains Impossible To Take Seriously

3. M. Bison (Street Fighter)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLSnGe06kAI Poor Raul Julia. The guy knew he was dying from terminal cancer and so let his children decide what his final role would be (you know, rather than spending time with them and stuff). In one of the all-time great examples of child-parent trolling, they suggested he play M. Bison in the execrable movie adaptation of the video game Street Fighter. To be fair, in the video games, M. Bison was a fearful foe; he could kick your ass in five seconds flat with his lightning-quick moves and ability to ignite himself. In the movie? Not so much. It's not Julia's fault at all, really. His character doesn't get to fight properly, and so he's quickly beaten to a pulp by Jean-Claude Van Damme's Guile. If Bison's hideous, tight leather get-up wasn't bad enough, Julia's attempts to make the best of his predicament by way of hammy delivery - who can forget "Of course!" - rendered the once-feared character completely risible. In return for Julia realising he was in a crap film and thoroughly taking the piss with his performance, the filmmakers got revenge by dedicating the film to him posthumously.
