Balrog: Behind the Glory Premier at EVO 2011!

by inkblot on May 31st, 2011 at 8:18 am

Need another reason to attend Evo 2011 this summer?

It is my pleasure to introduce Balrog: Behind the Glory – an independent short film presented by an awesome, creative, dedicated group of Street Fighter fans! It will premiere on July 31st at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, on the Evo Championship Series grand stage.

Please visit the Chubby Boy Films website for an exclusive sneak peek at the full-size movie poster, and follow @ChubbyBoyFilms on twitter for updates and extras.

Balrog: Behind the Glory explores the meteoric rise and fall of one of the world’s most iconic boxing legends. In documentary format, it follows Mike Bison’s transformation from heavyweight champion to international crime syndicate underboss. To this day, M.Bison’s true story remains shrouded in mystery and his whereabouts unknown.

The screenplay was written by Brett D. Bayonne, produced by Greg Gertmenian, and directed by Vahe Gabuchian – with cinematography by Tigran Tovmasyan, costume design by Hunter Wells, and makeup by Sarah Dorsey. (Check out Chicken on a Pizza for a look at the last comedy project Vahe, Brett, and Greg shot together.)

After the Epic World championship bout with Dudley, he began his downward spiral into bike addiction..

  Maybe it’s a Rocky-like story with Dudley as his rival.

Awesome! I’m confused though. The movie is called Balrog but the character’s name is M. Bison?
- mr. tibbs
  
  Yeah, I had the same thought. Maybe they’re sticking to the original Japanese name for his actual name in the film, but using the Western release name Balrog as an epithet or professional nickname. Mike “Balrog” Bison. That’s kinda cool, actually.
  - Mikeomak
    
    Or maybe they didn’t want to be sued XD
- SodaPOP
  
  Movie is probably called “Balrog” while the character is referred to as “Bison” in the film. I think if he was Mike “Balrog” Bison they would have put that in the summary.

Y is he taking a nap in an alley.

Awesome.

LOL Chicken on a Pizza, I remember that! This might actually be worth taking a look, now.

What a piece of crap movie! Why do people create such garbage!? really, was balrog fat!? People like the creators of this movies should be sent to an island with wild animals so they get eaten alive! Really, who is going to this crapmentary!? Why is it posted on Shoryuken’s? This is trash and people that like this are trash too!
- Hotdogmarchant
  
  Are you joking?
  Seriously though, are you? Because if you’re not, this is pathetic. You’ve seen one promotional poster, and already you think it’s crap? Just because Balrog looks a bit bulky? Give it a chance dude, jesus.
  (Apologies if you really were joking )

  Were should we send you?

  I am shallow and misguided.
  I fear things that challenge me.
  I don’t have much of worth to say, but I am loud and brash all the same.
  I am underdeveloped and limited in my capabilities.
  I am also completely unaware of the above.
  
  Who am I?
  
  I am your intellect,jcgonzmo.
- Z.A.P
  
  I hate you!

What we do know is that he was born in the slums (new york? metro city?) and had a very tough childhood. He did anything to get by, and originally couldnt take boxing lessons because his family didnt have any money (his father wasnt around either) Eventually Balrog got a boxing trainer, but at one time there was a dispute over money and Balrog actually put him in the hospital for 6 months with just one blow. His fighting style became too dangerous to stay in the boxing ring….. the guy was incredibly powerful. he killed one of Dhalsim’s elephants with one punch too. I hope this is a good film. I like balrog as a character.

if the star actor has got the Balrog cackle down, I’M IN.
DanDan

He lost his family.
He lost his job.
Now, he has lost what matters to him the most:

HIS FIGHT MONEY!
*Cue explosions and badass guitar riff!*
- King9999
  
  LOL!
  
  I can’t wait to see this film!
ShinkuGadoken

This is something I think I can look forward to. Independant films tend to be pretty good in this day and age.
Albert

starring IFC Yipes as Boxer?
To Salty

A movie about Boxer and not Dudley? How undignified.
M3GA

Lol, I’m intrigued.
SodaPOP

Looks like it could be insanely entertaining. Would love to see this.
ianthegamer

My question is this, are these films free to view at EVO? I will be attending EVO but will not compete therefore do not see the need to pay a 70 fee that is intended for those who are competing. anyone know?
- Maj
  
  Don’t worry, there’s no charge for spectators at Evo. Most likely this film will be shown on Sunday inbetween two Finals blocks.
stanz3000

I like the part when he bit a boxer’s ear and got a tattoo on his face…um, hey wait a minute!!!…
Buujie

I really hope that Capcom signs off on this as an actual backstory to Boxer! I can’t wait for this!

In 1991, defending World Heavyweight Champion, Michael Bison, was disqualified from the title bout and banned from the sport forever when his opponent, Joe Sullivan, suffered fatal injuries due to less than professional conduct from Bison. Then a household name, international celebrity, and ubiquitous and brash voice in sports and pop culture, Bison’s actions obliterated what had promised to be an imperishable boxing empire. Facing likely criminal trial and an onslaught of media scrutiny, Bison vanished from the public sphere. While federal agents have hinted in more recent reports that the “Raging Buffalo” may have been heavily involved in an unnamed international crime syndicate, Bison’s true story remains shrouded in mystery and his whereabouts unknown.“Balrog: Behind the Glory,” is a documentary that addresses, for the fist time, over twenty years of smoldering curiosity about who the champ really was and where he’s been since that fateful night in boxing.

This has the potential to be cool, not holding my breath though
