Who would be cast in the Punch Out! movie?

Here's a photo gallery of some possibilities for casting the hypothetical Mike Tyson's Punch Out! movie. Some pretty good choices. I personally like the Bald Bull and Don Flamenco choices.

As long as Michael Clark Duncan is Mr. Sandman its all good.

That was funny.

My only complaint was Soda being played by a cartoon when everyone else was a real person.

According to the outtakes video, some footage of Soda was recorded, but it was ultimately cut out of the final trailer:

If this ever happens, someone needs to resurrect the career of Billy Blanks and put him in it.

That video is the most awsome thing I saw in a while.

Was that a Nintendo Power bill that Mac crumbles up in the out of work, out of money montage? That's awesome.

Meryl Streep for Bald Bull. The movie would win so many Oscars.
