Fun fact: Ed Boon liked it so much, the way the actor portrayed Kano, and so he added that persona of Kano in the latest games. And tell ya, this Kano dude is badass
Thank goodness, cause who knows where the game would have went with Kano if Goddard didn't play Kano. Over the years Kano has become one of my favorite MK Kharacters. They developed him very well in the game.
The fact that Trevor Goddard died back in 2003 and people are still praising his performance is testimony to how well he portrayed Kano. Ed Boon himself, from what I remember, wanted all Kano appearances in the games to be based on Trevors portrayal.
@@beardedbloke2521 Well, the original actor, Richard Divizio, wasn't exactly Asian. Then again, neither were the actors for Raiden, Sub Zero and Scorpion.
The cast of this Mortal Kombat was absolute perfection. Along with the movie, Mortal Kombat II and III were out at that time. The absolute peak of this franchise where the game was everywhere in the arcades. Just isn't the same anymore.
That's true, but Trevor Goddard is the immovable object to Cary's irresistible force when it comes to this movie. Both of them just absolutely kill it. As a matter of fact the same could be said for Christopher Lambert and Linden Ashby too. Man this movie rocks. Definitely the greatest video game-based film ever. Easily.
Kano only have eye laser in mk3, and only canonically have eye laser in deadly alliance, because in the old fatalities, every character can do anything
@@jazzoj5 Sandra Hess did a horrible job as Sonya. Getting kicked the face by Noob-Ermac until Jaxy came to her rescue. Bridget Wilson did all of her own stunts & did a great job at saying faithful to the character in the game.

@@dominiqueodom3099 I just suspended my disbelief for the WHOLE movie and I did it in accepting that she would even be able to fight and take down some big guy who probably weighs more than 200 pounds,in the first place,so the the ''warm up''or whatever that was supposed to be,didn't bother me.
I wonder what did people call action before 2000 ,puting their hands on their shoulders and waving their legs like something is in their pants,puting their hands up and spinning instead of punching, but Sonia's spin kicks are on a new level
Whether you like the movie or not (I like it, it's my guilty pleasure), casting was perfect. Bridgette Wilson was perfection as Sonya. Imagine if she had time to train for fight scenes. Shang Tsung was so cool and Kano was just so badass, they made the game version as Goddard after this movie!
Bridgette's fight scenes were awful because she didn't have time to train. Cameron Diaz was originally going to play Sonya & trained for months but she got injured. Bridgette was cast at the last minute
Kano fights like a drunk abusive husband trying to hit his wife, except the wife actually knows how to fight back. That’s what this scene was like to me lol he was staggering about half the time probably was seeing double of Sonya
actually kano could've killed sonya, but shang tsung told him not to kill her. he coudl've killed her when she got stunned by his kick. alas he gave her some time to recover by spitting and saying give up.
That's because earlier in the film, Shang Tsung told Kano. "Remember. She's not to be harmed only humiliated. I have plans for my sweet Sonya" Shang wanted her alive. Kano was promised money by Shang not to harm Sonya. Also, Kano in film said that he believed in a fare fight "One on one, hand to hand, man to man" Him bringing a knife into this fight was not in his character. Notice how he never tried to pick up the knife at any point in this fight.

And was obviously very intelligent because he understood body language. @ 1:30 that little innocent gesture with his opposing hand as the other goes for a slit gets me every time!

@@Lunareste Yeah, you could see and feel her satisfaction with every hit she got on Kano, and feel her pain when she got backhanded across the face and kicked in the stomach while she was down. Her fighting technique is bad, but this was never going to be a technical fight of any kind. This was a street fight through and through, doing whatever you need to do to win. I'm a bit surprised they didn't have anybody throw sand in the eyes of their opponent.

IMDB and Wikipedia. There were some scenes in the script that were supposed to be in the movie that were never shown. 1. Johnny Cage finally escaping Scorpion's lair to face a nub waiting for him before Liu Kang's fight with Kitana. He naturally wins that fight. 2. Reptile originally had no involvement in the first movie and was omitted. Possibly, Anderson was trying to save him for the 2nd movie. 3. Shang Tsung giving the Earth Warriors time to mourn Art Lean and give him a funeral in the Garden of Statues. Kitana secretly attends it and she shows sympathy for them because it is similar to how she lost her parents in Outworld during Shao Kahn's invasion. Art is buried under the statue of the Great Kung Lao(Liu's ancestor). It's from there, he, Cage and Sonya finally understands what's at stake for Earth. 4. After Art Lean's funeral, Sonya is confronted by a kimono clad Jade(whom is one of Shang Tsung's bodyguards) and their fight begins. Unlike her fight with Kano, it proved to be much harder for her. Despite being dressed in a kimono, Jade's fighting skills are superior due to her early training in Outworld. Sonya is wrecked and almost loses that fight until she is reminded by Raiden's words. This helps her rally and beat Jade. 5. Liu Kang was originally going to fight Sub Zero(still under Shang Tsung's influence) in Outworld after he narrowly escapes his death. It was switched after the negative reaction from the test audiences. Sub Zero was given an early death and Reptile fights Liu Kang in Outworld.

@@swastikausa yeah, that's really sad. I'm not familiar with his other acting work but this performance did at least take a character who I never would have paid attention to in the original games and made him one of the most fun and engaging characters in the entire series, even if everyone thought his cockney accent sounded Australian
@@casanovafunkenstein5090 he was from croydon south London. there was simply more demand for Australian characters at that time. in JAG he played an Aussie sailor who was also a lawyer. he left behind two kids after he died.
I saw this movie in the theater and when Kano kicked Sonya in the abdomen, someone shouted, “Damn! He kicked the shit out that bitch!” and the theater erupted in laughter. Good times. 🤣
When my brother and I were growing up, he told me that Shang Tsung always pointed with 2 fingers because his fingers were glued together and it still makes me laugh to this day 🤣
Fun Fact: In the original arcade games, Kano was suppose to be Japanese. But the movie had an Austalian styled Kano. The movie so popular that the games soon followed now we have every Kano as like the movie.
@@dieterrosswag933 well, I mean Mortal Kombat as a franchise is based on a mash up of Big Trouble in Little China, JCVD movies, Enter the Dragon and Sword and Sorcery/Frank Frazetta artwork, so it's definitely always been far more based on Western media than any authentic representation of Asian culture. I think Kano is more interesting and charismatic as a cockney/Australian than he was in his original design but a big part of that is probably down to the limitations of videogames compared to film; as you could barely make out the original actor's face in any detail, especially with the mask.
@@dieterrosswag933 even given that the actual story isn't great and the characters are inconsistent I think MK is one of the most distinctive fantasy settings out there. There's not really anything like it that has been nearly as well developed (admittedly we're comparing it to Way of the Warrior and Tattoo Assassins). It's a bit like the Warhammer 40K of fighting games in that it's just a bunch of random stuff smashed together but it's so ridiculous that it ends up being fairly compelling as a setting (the main difference being that Games Workshop commissions novels from people who specialise in writing stories to order and MK is very much the product of a fairly limited number of people who also have other priorities to address.).
@@dieterrosswag933 I'm pretty sure Sonya Blade was modelled after Cynthia Rothrock, which is partially why she's wearing the gym outfit despite supposedly being part of the military, as Cynthia posed for a number of magazines in similar outfits
@@dieterrosswag933 Bro you're really talking like videogames are not based in Fantasy lmao , Not Lara Croft or Mario Bros are realistic at all, not their enemies, their suits, guns, worlds etc.
@@MrArthurCurry if only he knew the impact he had with so little scenes here. He would 100% still be used as kanos voice actor in the newer games. Dude literally changed a half Chinese bald guy into a sadistic Australian perv great villain ya love to hate
That shot of Kano soccer kicking Sonya is brutal. This whole scene would be much worse if Sonya was just effortlessly beating Kano while looking supercool and composed. The drama of Sonya struggling but still overcoming is fantastic
You know as much as I love this movie and especially the character Kano. I really wish this fight lasted a little but longer and made BOTH characters have a moment to shine. I pictured the fight being more in Kano's favor...being cocky and taunting her most of the match while pretty much dodging and countering most of Sonya's moves. He would get the upper hand and pretty much body/manhandle her only for him to get overconfident and Sonya would finally turn the tide in her favor and eventually get the win.
Hands down this actor should have played Shan Tsung in the new movie. He would have been like a connection between all realms. 🍷 They even use his likeness in the games.
So true. New Shan Sung is incredible bad (even worse than new Raiden) but at least the new Sonya doesn't look like a porn model that hasn't thrown a punch in her life.
@@alexf9381 Honestly..the fights between scorp and sub at the beginning and end of the movie are the only highlights lol. As a whole? way more gore, much bigger budget but its not any more or less cornier. The pacing sucks too.
Agreed. However, I like Josh Lawson's Kano over this Kano. Mortal Kombat 2021 live action Kano is the best Kano yet. Why? Because that Kano was more charismatic and cursed more but was just as evil. If Josh Lawson's Kano had the metal face though, he would even be more improved.
@@123ucr the new sucks WTF are you talking about 🤦♀️🤣 the new Kano was dirty , skinny , Corny , and for some reason can only shoot a laser from 1 eyes lmao
@@SagittariusRising86 the fight cheography is bad but the reason why is cos bridgette wasn't the original choice to play sonya. Cameron diaz was but she pulled out due to an injury and bridgette replaced her and because she had no experience in screen combat thats why its so bad
This was so good. When I saw this at the theatre when I was a kid, this and the fight scene with scorpion in the woods were what really stood out for me as bringing the game to life cinematically.
After seeing the new movie, I understand why Kano doesn't use his laser eye in combat. The VFX artists couldn't animate an amazing laser (with the exception of the Death Star).
Actually he wasn't yet known to have an eye laser. None of his moves or fatalities used it until Mortal Kombat 3, right after this movie came out, so we thought it was just a fancy bionic eye.
This is exactly the type of character I was picturing in my mind about Kano. Crude, selfish, ruthless, sly and cunning. The actor very much does justice in this movie.
2:18 Ouuuuch I think that was the most painful kick I've ever seen. Sonya howled in pain so loudly and got kicked so hard it lifted her off the ground. Kano got off easy. He died but he barely felt pain during the fight. Sonya lived, but because of that brutal kick, she felt the most pain in the movie and received the most painful blow in the movie

I'm not familiar with his other acting work but this performance did at least take a character who I never would have paid attention to in the original games and made him one of the most fun and engaging characters in the entire series, even if everyone thought his cockney accent sounded Australian
@@casanovafunkenstein5090 he was from croydon south London. there was simply more demand for Australian characters at that time. in JAG he played an Aussie sailor who was also a lawyer. he left behind two kids after he died.
I can relate. The guy was hot af even with that mask on his face
I saw this movie in the theater and when Kano kicked Sonya in the abdomen, someone shouted, “Damn! He kicked the shit out that bitch!” and the theater erupted in laughter. Good times. 🤣
Who is here after knowing that MKXI will have this Shang Tsung?
Cheers!
I'm HERE for kano
Only mkx is roman numeral so you can go back to regular numbers
Imagine D'vorah in this film...lol
TyrStark mk11 I'm. Here lol
1:01 Vince McMahon walk
When my brother and I were growing up, he told me that Shang Tsung always pointed with 2 fingers because his fingers were glued together and it still makes me laugh to this day 🤣
Love how Shang Tsung is smiling the hole time, knowing Kano would get crushed.
Fun Fact: In the original arcade games, Kano was suppose to be Japanese.
But the movie had an Austalian styled Kano.
The movie so popular that the games soon followed now we have every Kano as like the movie.
@@dieterrosswag933 well, I mean Mortal Kombat as a franchise is based on a mash up of Big Trouble in Little China, JCVD movies, Enter the Dragon and Sword and Sorcery/Frank Frazetta artwork, so it's definitely always been far more based on Western media than any authentic representation of Asian culture.
I think Kano is more interesting and charismatic as a cockney/Australian than he was in his original design but a big part of that is probably down to the limitations of videogames compared to film; as you could barely make out the original actor's face in any detail, especially with the mask.
@@dieterrosswag933 even given that the actual story isn't great and the characters are inconsistent I think MK is one of the most distinctive fantasy settings out there.
There's not really anything like it that has been nearly as well developed (admittedly we're comparing it to Way of the Warrior and Tattoo Assassins).
It's a bit like the Warhammer 40K of fighting games in that it's just a bunch of random stuff smashed together but it's so ridiculous that it ends up being fairly compelling as a setting (the main difference being that Games Workshop commissions novels from people who specialise in writing stories to order and MK is very much the product of a fairly limited number of people who also have other priorities to address.).
@@dieterrosswag933 yeah Johnny is definitely a mash up of Kurt Russell in BTilC and JCVD in Bloodsport.
@@dieterrosswag933 I'm pretty sure Sonya Blade was modelled after Cynthia Rothrock, which is partially why she's wearing the gym outfit despite supposedly being part of the military, as Cynthia posed for a number of magazines in similar outfits
@@dieterrosswag933 Bro you're really talking like videogames are not based in Fantasy lmao , Not Lara Croft or Mario Bros are realistic at all, not their enemies, their suits, guns, worlds etc.
Her kicks wouldn't knock a house plant over.
Bobby Rebholz lol hahaha
Haha
But would snap a neck.
The house plant would knocked her over
You puny little man....try it.
I wish Kano's actor didnt commit suicide. He was a trend setter for the character.
He comited suicide?
@@MRF-bq7kq Yeah, he died of an intentional drug overdose.
@@MrArthurCurry if only he knew the impact he had with so little scenes here. He would 100% still be used as kanos voice actor in the newer games. Dude literally changed a half Chinese bald guy into a sadistic Australian perv great villain ya love to hate
@Leon Russell that is definitely australian lol
@Leon Russell he was an english actor portraying an australian gang leader
They made this movie so so good. Best MC movie, for sure. Would be tough to beat with today's CGI
2:47 that’s why i love Nestlé crunch
Now THIS was the Mortal Kombat film that I grew up watching a-lot 23 years ago on cable at HBO. XD
One of the best childhood movies! Smiling nostalgically, even though i see how lame the fights were. 😍
That upper cut from Sonya really SHOOK Kano for the rest of the fight. Lol
🤩🥳
Rest of his entire life, really.
Kano still managed to deliver the most painful blow of the match.
Still can't believe they jobbed Kano out in his first fight
Kano has always been a jobber when he fights the good guys, I expect nothing less with him losing.
@@Cipher_556 only cause "the good guys have to win"
@@ComicBookGuy420
Yeah, I'd like to see Noob Saibot winning for a change... he looks cool but 'been jobbing hard lately.
@@Cipher_556 see that's what I'm talking about, Kano, Noob, Ermac, the bad guys have the coolest characters and powers, but always loose
@@ComicBookGuy420 Ermac beat Jax results him taking Jax's arms in the process also he won a few fights as he turned good from MK5-MK7.
They gave Kano the metal eye 👁 back in 95 but not in 2021 😂
In the sequel, he does.
maybe setting up for sequel
Can’t wait for the sequel
sequel finna be lit
@@mcreedz919 hell yea 🔥🔥 should be way better
When Sonya gives the upper cut, you can hear the crowd:
"Uuuuuuuuh".
TOASTYYYYYY
They did that the whole time lol
That shot of Kano soccer kicking Sonya is brutal. This whole scene would be much worse if Sonya was just effortlessly beating Kano while looking supercool and composed. The drama of Sonya struggling but still overcoming is fantastic
My Dad took me to see this when I was seven, I love this fight scene
I was 9 or 10. Was pretty brutal seeing that kick to her stomach when she was down like that.
@@colinj5291 it is brutal, very convincing too, Kano wasn't playing around
I’m pretty sure if Trevor Goddard was still alive, he would also be featured in MK11 along with The others who made appearances. RIP.
Definitely. Guy made for a great kano, shame.
At least he was the model for him in mk 11
@@MRF-bq7kq I did notice that after awhile but my first impression was Freddie Mercury. 😅
@@AshKrimson you should stop drinking too much
@@MRF-bq7kq I don’t get it.
2:46: “Ok!” *snap*
The way Sonya says that is so hot.
Yeah and her face too she's sexy 😏
“Give it up, baby! I’ve studied all your moves!” 🤣
Yeah study this😂 kick!
You know as much as I love this movie and especially the character Kano. I really wish this fight lasted a little but longer and made BOTH characters have a moment to shine.
I pictured the fight being more in Kano's favor...being cocky and taunting her most of the match while pretty much dodging and countering most of Sonya's moves. He would get the upper hand and pretty much body/manhandle her only for him to get overconfident and Sonya would finally turn the tide in her favor and eventually get the win.
“ I studied all your moves” proceeds to get his ass kicked
Rewatched Mortal Kombat last night, and I can’t stress this enough, Wilson’s Sonya is still super hot to this day 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥.
1:46 YAARRGH! I love the way she growls when she hits him.
Absolutely! Sonya is so amazing!
@@colebloxam8741 she was always my favorite. 😍
@@SunBunz I can see why, 2:45 delightful smile, followed by "okay" and then crunch!
Shang and Kano were perfectly casted. Can't say the same for Sonya tho
Ventura the Ace it was supposed to Cameron Diaz
Or Paris Hilton
Bro, the actress for Sonya was perfect.
They said Kylie Minogue.
Why? Her personality's always been "I will fuck you up." Anyone can play that, and she certainly did.
Who else had to resurface after the 2021 film 🎞 🎥 !?
The new film was great
@@watersheep7175 it was bad lol but kano was the best thing about the movie
Hated it M.K. 2021 but I 💕 this 🎥 1995 way better
Me
Mk videos always have the perfect thumbnails
Kano: "Give me a break"
Sonya: "Ok" *Breaks Kano's neck.*
Joker: "Very poor choice of words"
Hands down this actor should have played Shan Tsung in the new movie. He would have been like a connection between all realms. 🍷 They even use his likeness in the games.
So true. New Shan Sung is incredible bad (even worse than new Raiden) but at least the new Sonya doesn't look like a porn model that hasn't thrown a punch in her life.
The new shang tsung and Raiden of the reboot were terrible.
@@Games-tt9hu right? I could get more emotion out of my toilet bowl.
@@chrispeplinski7306 How is the reboot in general? Worth watching overall?
@@alexf9381 Honestly..the fights between scorp and sub at the beginning and end of the movie are the only highlights lol. As a whole? way more gore, much bigger budget but its not any more or less cornier. The pacing sucks too.
I like more this Sonya than the new one
Agreed. However, I like Josh Lawson's Kano over this Kano. Mortal Kombat 2021 live action Kano is the best Kano yet. Why? Because that Kano was more charismatic and cursed more but was just as evil. If Josh Lawson's Kano had the metal face though, he would even be more improved.
@@123ucr the new sucks WTF are you talking about 🤦♀️🤣 the new Kano was dirty , skinny , Corny , and for some reason can only shoot a laser from 1 eyes lmao
@@troymcclure681 that’s literally Kano’s entire character dumbass.
@@banexboi you're obviously a casual and not a mortal Kombat fan🤦🤣
@@troymcclure681 stop describing yourself
“WAIT WAIT this brutally you can’t do it” that line basically goes with this scene
"THIS ISN'T BRUTALITY, THIS IS FATALITY"
Hands down, one of my favorite scenes!!❤❤❤
It's so bad that movies will never be like this again.
Shang tsung just looking cool made this movie 50% better.
shang tsung so badass man,so happy he got that costume in the game
I always thought that Bridgette got kicked in the stomach for real. Good acting if you look at her face when she gets hit
Ya too bad she can't act like she knows how to fight.
Yeah I thought the same thing rewatching this just now. They might have let him kick her once with all the camers angles just right to capture it
@@SagittariusRising86 the fight cheography is bad but the reason why is cos bridgette wasn't the original choice to play sonya. Cameron diaz was but she pulled out due to an injury and bridgette replaced her and because she had no experience in screen combat thats why its so bad
She probably did. Some of the cast suffered injuries.
Huge part why the original Mortal Kombat continues to be my favorite Video Game Movie
2:40 oh man Kano is one lucky man
Lucky only for a few seconds
This Kano was way more impressive than the modern One in MK2021. My opinion.
Impressive in what way?
@@SuperAKIBHUSSAIN Nostalgia Biased.
it's also very accurate in design
Lol you’re so full of shit
Yes this 2021 kano was very pg 13 with his jokes and character. Needed more f bombs and grit
"Let me give you a break."
- Past Sonya Blade, Mortal Kombat 11
Booooooooooooo should have Kano said Ello baby in the game as well
This was so good. When I saw this at the theatre when I was a kid, this and the fight scene with scorpion in the woods were what really stood out for me as bringing the game to life cinematically.
No one:
Kano: Baby
"Does it hurt baby?" in that sincere voice is the second most evil line in Cinema topped only by "Hullo baby. Did you miss me?"
“That Veronica Vaughn is one peace of ace!”
Chase Estrada hahahaha
I was scrolling down waiting to see a VV comment
I know from experience dude, if you know what I mean.
Oh yeaaasa
Ok chris farley
Dude you just kept walking right into her hits lol. I miss Goddard. He was a great actor.
That was my childhood then. We used to watch this movie with love.
So happy to see Bridgette in MK11
Kano lost too easily ,i expected more from him. I guess his job was to let her win and he did not expect that he would get killed.
He studied the moves but not thw counters lol
I saw mortal kombat at the movie theater with my dad, I was a kid and I remember that I loved it... oh man, I'm getting old.
After seeing the new movie, I understand why Kano doesn't use his laser eye in combat. The VFX artists couldn't animate an amazing laser (with the exception of the Death Star).
Actually he wasn't yet known to have an eye laser. None of his moves or fatalities used it until Mortal Kombat 3, right after this movie came out, so we thought it was just a fancy bionic eye.
Freaking love this fight scene.sonya is so badass it's so good to watch
lmao the guard in the back at 1:59 is having a blast.
Hahaha
Hahahaha!
This is exactly the type of character I was picturing in my mind about Kano. Crude, selfish, ruthless, sly and cunning. The actor very much does justice in this movie.
That Sonya Blade is one piece of ACE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌👌👌
Legs wrapped around Kano
Shang Tsung: Ah, Yeeeeeeeeeessss~
2:18 Ouuuuch I think that was the most painful kick I've ever seen. Sonya howled in pain so loudly and got kicked so hard it lifted her off the ground. Kano got off easy. He died but he barely felt pain during the fight. Sonya lived, but because of that brutal kick, she felt the most pain in the movie and received the most painful blow in the movie
At least he got a nice death. Having your neck broken by a hot womans legs? I wouldn't mind that myself
Nah Sonya kicked him like 5 times earlier
She may not be the best actress but she sold that kick like a champ - My ribs literally felt that
