Many many video game movies have gone source material completely wrong. Super Mario Bros. and Street Fighter: The Movie did quite a poor job on this. Luigi is NOT Mario's son nor is he Latino. Blanka is NOT Charlie. Charlie was Guile's combat buddy and was presumedly killed by M.Bison. Blanka's real name is Jimmy.

By source material, do you mean SegaSonic canon? Also, maybe the writing teams for those movies deviated from some of the source material on purpose? Possibly in order to make them stand out? That would certainly be a reasonable assumption, IMO. On a related note, I thought Zangief in the live-action movie was hilarious -- one of the movie's redeeming qualities.
