If you consider the comments concerning Street Fighter: Legacy made on my last article, one thing is clear: Making a low-budget feature film isn't easy. But if you compound the inherent difficulty with high expectations, alarmist Internet viewers, and meek revenue prospects, you have a challenge that few filmmakers can surmount.

After completing and releasing a feature-length, pro bono Mega Man film, Eddie LeBron has proven his mettle as a filmmaker. Clocking in at 93 minutes, "Mega Man" tells the renowned story of Dr. Thomas Light, Dr. Albert Wily (pictured below), and the androids they create.
