  • inactive, on 08/25/2008, -2/+57Would love to see Tom Cruise get punched out and not be the hero.
  • inactive, on 08/25/2008, -1/+42I'm thinking for Little Mac it should be Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller's day off)
  • cycledesign, on 08/26/2008, -0/+35Would love to see Tom Cruise get punched out and it not be a movie.
  • dtraneighty8, on 10/07/2008, -1/+27Did I just watch an episode of Conan?
  • Moonkeeper, on 08/25/2008, -1/+27George the Animal Steele?

    I'd say if anyone the Great Hippo should be played by King Kong Bundy or Butterbean.
  • SuperMoses, on 08/26/2008, -0/+24No way would the Karate Kid play Piston Honda. It would be Chong Li of Bloodsport

    And King Hippo would be played by Don Rickles.

  • inactive, on 08/25/2008, -5/+26These are dead. on.
  • aladin, on 08/26/2008, -0/+18http://i33.tinypic.com/eb1m5x.gif

    I've been waiting a while to post that bad boy.
  • LaLetra, on 08/25/2008, -2/+19Come on...Doc Louis should obviously be played by Stanley from The Office.
  • polalion, on 08/26/2008, -0/+16I love Wheel Fairel!
  • nofate2029, on 08/26/2008, -1/+15CARL WINSLOW!
  • ADIDAS247, on 08/25/2008, -4/+18Normally I hate slideshows, but the pics are worth it this time.
    Here's the 14 slide run down anyway
    Glass Joe / Owen Wilson
    Von Kaiser / Daniel Day-Lewis
    Little Mac / Tom Cruise
    Doc Louis / Reginald Veljohnson (The fat cop from Die Hard and that show with Erkle)
    Piston Honda / Ralph Macchio
    Don Flamenco / Adam Sandler
    Great Tiger / Sir Ben Kingsley
    King Hippo / George 'The Animal' Steele
    Soda Popinski / Bowler Hat Guy
    Bald Bull / Charles Barkley
    Mr. Sandman / Tracy Morgan
    Super Macho Man / Joey Buttafuoco
    Mr. Dream / Dolph Lundgren
    Mike Tyson / Mike Tyson

  • ninjarabbits, on 08/26/2008, -0/+12Yeah, Will Feral would be an awesome addition.
  • drbonemonkey, on 08/25/2008, -2/+14Was NOT pleased with soda popinski, aside from that this thing was awesome
  • inactive, on 08/25/2008, -4/+16Some of those choices are kinda WTF. Ex, Tiger. Although Don Flamenco and Mac's corner guy (whose name is eluding me right now) are bang on.
  • insomniac8400, on 08/26/2008, -0/+9Just terrible. How could ralph machiao play a big asian guy? And anything with tom cruise as the lead is doomed from the start.
  • Innagadadavida, on 08/26/2008, -1/+10What's this I hear about Waffles Furret?
  • inactive, on 08/25/2008, -3/+12Somehow we have to fit Will Farrell in this or it will never get released
  • znavy264, on 08/26/2008, -0/+8not dead on.....It would be common sense to enlist Eric Esch aka "Butterbean" as King Hippo...
  • Samsauce, on 08/26/2008, -0/+8Piston Honda / Ralph Macchio is a miscast. It should be bad guy from Blood Sport.

    Tell me that's not Piston Honda

    **EDIT** Sucks, just saw SuperMoses post. Don't digg me down bro.
  • palehorse864, on 08/26/2008, -0/+8Better Von Kaiser
    http://www.freewebs.com/monksite/Stottlemeyer.bmp
  • ast16, on 08/25/2008, -1/+8It's just 'Doc,' isn't it?
  • DocHolliday, on 08/25/2008, -1/+8"Hey! Mr. Referee Mario. I like your hair!"
  • T440, on 08/26/2008, -0/+7IDK, I think Carl Winslow is a perfect choice there.
  • bgrundman55, on 08/25/2008, -1/+7I would lose on purpose just to see Tom Cruise get his ass kicked!
  • braditude101, on 08/26/2008, -0/+5Buried as inaccurate, Mr Dream and Mike Tyson cannot exist in the same movie.
  • KittySpark1es, on 08/26/2008, -1/+6Whoever thought Ralph Macchio would make a good Piston Honda is retarded. Everything else was pretty dead on though.
  • inactive, on 08/26/2008, -0/+5Barkley is a perfect match
  • bugsy187, on 08/26/2008, -0/+5Dead on? Some of these are great, like Sandler cast as Don Flamenco, but what about the cartoon character cast as Soda Popinski? What about Ralph Macchio as a Japanese guy? Should they paint Ralph in yellow face? :P
  • DrZocktahedron, on 08/25/2008, -1/+5Mike Tyson.
  • inactive, on 08/25/2008, -0/+4Will Farrell would make the perfect ref.
  • inactive, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4What are you doing? Show the original!

  • dsmx, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4I think we'd all pay to see tom cruise beaten to a bloody pulp.
  • gberkshire, on 08/25/2008, -2/+6But who should direct? I'd vote Scorsese, in a triumphant return to the ring.
  • BScott013, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4Butterbean would be an awesome choice!!
  • theragu40, on 08/26/2008, -1/+5You can't be serious.
  • kazimir34, on 08/26/2008, -0/+3That's the best part! No one cares!
    Plus it's really funny to see people whining about a story published 4 months ago.
  • inactive, on 08/25/2008, -2/+5Tom Cruise coul ride his Tropic Thunder wave back to being a successful movie star if they made this pic.
  • ownwonnow, on 08/26/2008, -0/+3It was more because the licensing ran out on Tyson's likeness, and Nintendo didn't feel like paying to keep it.
  • bixby1, on 08/26/2008, -0/+3I would pay money out of my wallet to see that as well. Down with the Tom.
  • Innisskillin, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2I know I will probably get dugg down for asking but who is Mr. Dream?
  • Aurabolt, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2they should have a gold-colored pixel in Tyson's sprite's mouth for the virtual console
  • outchy, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2Dugg for Bloodsport. OK USA!
  • inactive, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2That's so much of a better choice, I was trying to think who would be better than Tom Cruise, and that hit the nail on the head.
  • PilotHead, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2if it only happend like this....

  • viper001, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1763216

    If a punchout movie were anything like this, I'd watch it
  • thrikulam, on 08/26/2008, -1/+3Doc Lewis.

    Yeah... a little too much YTMND :)
  • mrbecker, on 08/25/2008, -4/+6Good f'ing work gents.
  • abrasion, on 08/26/2008, -1/+3http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.asylum.com/media ...
    There is no way that isn't a bulked version of Steve Guttenburg, of Police Academy.
  • iSeven, on 08/26/2008, -0/+2why didn't i see that coming?
