Gaming's biggest movie rip-offs

Perpetrator: Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers | Arcade

Oh come on, just look at Fei Long for more than a second and tell us that's not who he really is. He's lithe, he makes cat noises while kicking arses, and when he wins he even does that nunchuk thing for God's sake. And his ending all but tells us he's a Bruce wannabe.
