Fair enough. He’ll always be Puerto Rican to me.

You fight him in Thailand, but I’m pretty sure his nationality is unknown.

I’m a gamer and can’t say I recognize any more of them than Kevin does.

Zangief’s probably in there because he was a villain in the Street Fighter movie and because Russian accents are funnier than Thai accents. (Bison’s Thai, right? Or do you just fight him in Thailand?)

Wow, comprehensive, thanks! So many games I don’t know…

Going clockwise from Ralph, I think it’s:
Diablo from the series of the same name, possibly
I have no idea
Bowser/King Koopa from the Mario games
Zangief from the Street Fighter series (what’s he doing at Bad-Anon?)
Dr. Robotnik from the Sonic series
M. Bison from the Street Fighter series
Clyde from Pac-Man (or possibly Sue from Ms. Pac-Man, but she tends to be purple in games where both Clyde and Sue appear)
I have no idea, but I’m sure I should know this one…
Either a Blood Elf or a Night Elf from World of Warcraft; no idea if she’s a specific character or generic, since I don’t play the game
No idea on the next two beyond that the green thing looks like a Beholder
Possibly Nemesis from the Resident Evil series
And what might be a House of the Dead zombie.

Not sure… though looks a bit like the one in my “Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing” game (a few levels using as a race track the set/zombies from some game called “House of the Dead”).

Since I wasn’t clear earlier, Dr. Robotnik = the heavy-set guy with the red suit, goggles, and bushy mustache. (No, I refuse to call him “Dr. Eggman” as modern Sonic stuff apparently does… :-p ).

Koopa! That’s it! Thank you. I figure the zombie guy has to be someone recognizable, too — wasn’t there some game where you fought them in an abandoned house?

I recognized the Pac-Man ghost monster, Koopa (the “dragon-y guy” from Super Mario Bros.), the Russian guy (from “Street Fighter”), and Dr. Robotnik (from Sonic the Hedgehog).

Looks like a fun film…
