Before going into production, they need to watch a few movies...
Super Mario Bros.
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (I thought the first one was decent...)
Street Fighter
While watching, they should take notes on what NOT TO DO, even though Street Fighter wasn't a really serious movie...still had a couple of the best quotes ever :3
and
Chun-Li: It was twenty years ago. You hadn't promoted yourself to general yet. You were just a petty drug lord. You and your gang of murderers gathered your small ounce of courage to raid across the border for food, weapons, slave labor...my father was the village magistrate. A simple man with a simple code: justice. He gathered the few people that he could to stand against you. You and your bullies were driven back by farmers with pitchforks! My father saved his village at the cost of his own life. You had him shot as you ran away! A hero... at a thousand paces.
M. Bison: I'm sorry... I don't remember any of it.
Chun-Li: You don't remember?!
M. Bison: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday.
