I was 7 years old when this came out. I begged everyone in my family to come see this movie, cause it was gonna be so awesome just like the 1st. Long story short, dad fell asleep, and everyone else was either scratching their heads or laughing out of embarrassment. I never got to pick another movie after that
damn😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
this made my day thank you I can't stop laughing!!!!
💀😆
I had the same with the Last Airbender movie..
When you and your friends decide to make an action movie.
Today! But go back in 1997 and try to do this:))
Yeah but..not someone like you or your friends...'coz you don't own the skill and knowledge for that CGI, the artistic skill to design a costume like the ones depicted here let alone a creature of this kind and definitely not capable of performing a single combat move like the ones we see here without becoming the laugh of the universe...so I think you'd better light up a joint and be the same passive pepeg you've always been.. :)...
Even making this movie with your friends would be better than this shit
@@naeloopardayan538 It would actually be insanely easy to improve this with free software now.
@@oprearomeo2636 remember the movie starship trooper 1997. It was better effects
Say what you want but the fact that they included Raiden's flying scream makes this scene legendary to me 😂
Raiden's tackle and spinning jumps were the only good parts of this scene.
This raiden is a 1000 times better than the new movie raiden lol
I Gotta Sawwwwwww!
How to say it
Raiden is just epic.
Sindel gets a bad rap but Shao Kahn's actor is completely over the top - and it is GLORIOUS!!!!
"Mother...You're alive"
"Too bad, YOU...will die"
Some serious character development, right there.
Somebody in the writers room was waiting all day to write that one 😂
Who ever wrote the script was high as hell
hahahahhahaha
You forgot her finger pointing. Such intense and realistic buildup!
@@SK-uu2fg We forgot about that part that was some character development 😂
I don’t care what any of you say, growing up renting the two mortal kombat movies from blockbuster was the best times as a kid.
The 2nd one sucked. It gets even worse than this somehow.
I know man lol I don't know what was wrong with me and this obsession with this movie as a kid lol. I caused blockbuster to bankrupt cause my late fees were piling up with this one smh😕
I remember my uncle renting this movie and buying pizza/etc and after playing goldeneye splitscreen. Man the 90s were good if you were there.
@@alexvalin9085 I love those moments
Honestly, this movie may not have aged as well as others, and a lot of people hate on it, but back when I was younger, I enjoyed this movie. I still do, in fact. It's not perfect, but it was still pretty good for the time (At least I think it was good for its time, though most people disagree).
Shao Kahn sounds like he's going to cry at any moment.
Some serious character development.
His voice, tone is simply HORRENDOUS
From what I know, he runned against the doorframe with his little toe just before he entered the Arena and was close to crying.
Say whatever you want. But as a kid, I loved this movie. I can still watch it today
You didn't see the movie as a kid. I understand why you don't like it. But to us who saw it as kids, it was everything to us then.
Considering Shao Kahn’s mask and helm in this movie makes him look like a sad beagle or bassett hound, this performance and choice of voice makes sense.
2:12. Saving grace moment for the entire film.
BRINGONTHESAUUUUUCE!!!
STRAIGHTOUTDABOOOX!!!!
TYRANNOSAUR !!!!
Hahahhahahahahhah
😂😂😂
I love how khan and raiden have to flip great distances just to talk to each other
What about the scene where Raiden flies or charges toward Shao Kahn and sends him flying?
and there is scene when Rayden appears with his hairs tied (fight agaisnt shao kahn)
Me and my friend greet each other like this all the time.
I came just for that. That's just how they have conversations.
That's a different level of language right there. You wouldn't understand. 🤣😂
I can remember being 9 when this came out in theaters....dad took me. Even being that young I remember apologizing to him after we watched it
That happened to me as well...with Avengers: Age Of Ultron. To make things worse, it was my dad's birthday.😅
Lol same here, I apologised after watching Endgame 😂
Mori Shintaro?
@@neolog602 omg you guys are sooooo coolll
What? I remember this movie being HYPE AS HELL. Hahaha it’s definitely not aged well.
Kitana "Mother! You're alive!"
Sindel "Too bad you will die!"
That dialogue is up there with Shakespeare lol.
I mean.. it is iambic.. 🤷🏻♂️
That was the one phrase I pinpointed in my own review for being so bad!
Neither Kraft nor Sargento made cheese like THIS.
Up there? Naa son. This dialogue makes Shakespeare look like a joke
I can't not notice that one censored tooth
0:57 Johnny trying to warn us how the movie was going to go. Lol
AMAZINGLY WELL??
The Johnny Cage entrance taking off his glasses like a boss was the best part of this scene.
Right before they fucked the whole movie by killing him.
the glasses that were crushed an hour ago :D
He didn’t have glasses at the end of the first movie though. Awesome first movie, lame sequel. Wouldn’t be the first time. Lol
As if! The best part of the movie is “Too Bad You Will Die!”
if you notice... out of all the characters , hes the only one who got a slo-mo entrance lmao
“What closes can also be opened again!” That’s some profound shit right there RAIDEN!
Just describing our splinchters to a pinch about the entirety of this movie..

_Nothing lasts forever_

You must have had a pathetic childhood.
I used to watch it every weekend, im not joking.
@@jcvandamme6343 I bet you got vaccinated AND boosted, didn't you 😂
I remember seeing this in theaters and being horrified by the opening. Not only did half the cast have an actor change but they killed off freaking Johnny Cage in the first 5 minutes. What the heck?!
Johnny Cage did died on MK3 intro killed by Motaro

🤣
Lmao 😂
Fuck , lmao..
Shit I can never unhear this 😆😆😆😆😆😆
We're out of salt!!!
I feel like the actor playing Shao Kahn is struggling to contain his own laughter as he talks.
It sounds like he’s holding back his crying
1:42 😩
He was a regular actor characther in The X-Files serial (Dave Duchovny / Gillian Anderson) as some Alien bounty thingy
@ they really did lol
Stallone fought him in Cobra 🐍
1:40 shao kahn sounds like he's about to start bawling at any moment
"As long as the portal remains open... *sniff* you know what, forget it! You're just a big jerk! I'm calling my mom to pick me up! Gimme back my nunchuks..."
Too much excitement

@@worsethanhitlerpt.2539 then don't watch it?
“What closes can also open again.”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“What closes can open again.”
That's one hell of an explanation. It justifies the whole plot of the movie 😅
Come again?
Soooo, they risked their lives in part 1 to close something that can open up anyways. Raiden's a d!ck to say it in such a nonchalant way.
As a kid i watched this movies over a 100 times
If Raiden could "Take his generals" why the hell didn't he just do that in the beginning and save everyone a whole lot of pain...especially the audience.
Man we'll never know 😂.
@ramir3323 No they don't, that what was the whole point of the movie, that Shao Kahn had found a way to invade the Earth without Mortal Kombat.
Cuz this movie suuuuu
@@Xai47 It's kinda like how the Reptilian aliens went against Universal Galactic law with evil intentions, while the Galactics just remained on the sidelines and didn't do the same even to save Humanity.

@@jerelminter From the monks, of course, they have the sickest merch.

Tied
maybe he used a lightning speed to tied his hair..
@@dirmang2812 ...I hate to be “that guy” twice in one comment thread, but... tie.☺️

@darkfullgor 0_0 haha this movies so bad it's good, watch this faded and you'll crack up for a good minute
In the game doesnt he just say: KALI KALI KAAA!
@darkfullgor 0_0 Yea i just watched a vid about it. Guess my memory is failing :D
Edit: However look this: ruclips.net/video/Yhz4so2HuzU/видео.html , guess in the SNES EU version he says KALI KALI KAAA! at all times. Edit2: Seems he says it when he got the enemy and keeps flying. Before he reaches enemy he says TAKE HIM AWAY or something.
Top notch dialogue. Oscar worthy acting. Sensational casting that's true to the game. Fell asleep in the theatres after this scene!

@@Tauramehtar it literally sounds like that
I remember watching this as a kid thinking how cool it was.
Juan Ortiz it’s still cool wtf, guess you’re not a true fan
I'm not a true fan of anything. Keeps me pure that way. This scene is decent but the entire movie has a shit ton of bad acting and shitty special effects. It's basically an R rated version of power rangers but still just as bad. Keep in mind though, I'm talking specifically about this movie and not the mortal kombat franchise as a whole.
Shao Khan at the end of the first film looked more dangerous, scary.
This one looks like a guy having fun in a kids costume.
I still think it's cool..I honestly don't understand why people give it such shit...Yeah, Johnny died, yeah Jade wasn't dark skinned, but the fight scenes were watchable and I loved the soundtrack..
@@danicawolfetp True. The fighting was amazing, and to be honest with you, I think all films during thise tears were more easy going, for fun. Just like Street Fighter film.
I can see why they made this look gritty. They wanted that MK3 look, and it surely did remind me of that!
*Love the fact Shao Khan reads Genesis*
Hes Actually right tho....man kind shall rest..everything is backwards
Uchiha Sasuke facts bro
His old man wanted him to be a Godly man.
He is a pious worshiper of the One Being. 😂
Fanta Orange yeah he is
In 5 minutes, this scene has all the emotions, all the characters, all the plot, there's just too much going on, it's like that first hit of crack in a morning that you take before setting off for work, mental and necessary!
Shao Khan sounds like a wimpy version of Bane from the Dark Knight rises.
For the first 2 minutes, I was telling myself: "this could have been worse..."
Then, Shao Khan lauches a green ClipArt...
😆😆
"green ClipArt" LOL !
1:47 he laughed almost exactly like the original Shao Khan, but that’s about it for him being accurate
When I first saw it, I thought it was the Star of David. Like a Jewish Kamehameha.
I just can't believe a studio was happy releasing this.. what Happened after the first one? Some dumb studio exec saw that the first one made money and said, how do we make another one but for $500?
Lol
This movie had a bigger budget which is the sad part.
Well this came out during the 90s so the graphics were actually hi-tech at those times. Now it's just looks dumb.
@@billzjr222 But still the previous movie looked better...?
@@melissaguerra1518 no it didn't lmao it was like cut in half
Did anyone else notice that Shau Kahn sounded like he was going to cry at 1:41

Because big brother gave him a reminder of when they were kids and STILL can’t beat him 😂
@@MrRobman2009 that's actually hilarious

I remember 8 year old me buying the pirated version of this movie in mexico, for the equivalent of 3 dollars in today's money.
I regret that purchase even to this day.
Hahaha,the same but in Russia lol
😂 I watched it on the theater , Till this day I regret going
@@weaponsr20det27 man that must have been so awkward if you realized how shitty it was halfway trough and then youre stuck there deciding wether to watch it till the end. Whe i bought mine, it took me a while to reslize it was a piece of shit, i was in deniam because on papwr it should have been the best movie ever. I was a kid and it jad all the things that kids like. But my 2 brothers were like "yeah, this is pretty shitty, and they left the room"
Orale!

😆🤣
Director: we cant pay you but your name will be in the credits
"Actors": okay
Raiden did a hell of a job sponsoring Clorox Bleach with this scene ⚪️⚡️
James Remar as Raiden at least sounds like he's trying to give it his all, and compared to some of the others, he's not that bad. He's an underrated actor, but he just happens to show up in films that aren't the best-received.
Lambert Raiden forever👍
Warriors was fantastic. He was also in a lot of old martial arts action films.
We can see some of the actors gave their best, even knowing the movie sucks. Specially Robin Shou and James Remar.
James is underrated because he got blacklisted for his drug problems (he later got clean) he was originally cast as hicks in aliens (he is actually in a few scenes that made the final cut) but got booted out of the uk because of drugs.
Naw. He was Great in Tales From the Darkside. But he SUCKED as Raiden. Christopher Lambert said NO to MK Annihilation for a REASON.
If you grew up with this movie as a kid, you can't lie, you liked it at least a little bit lol. Back then we didn't know how cheesy it was but this movie still has a place in my heart despite all the criticism
If anything - the music and soundtrack overall is miles better than the generic one in the modern 2021 version ;)
So it does have some merit at least in that department.
Agreed! It had most of the characters I loved from the games. It was cheesy, 90's action and I liked it for what it was.
Overall it was never cheesy during those times
Yes your right same with me
Couldn't agree more. To this day, I still like the actor for Shao Kahn. There are things I would change, but overall, I loved his portrayal.
“And 6th day mankind will rest in peace !”
always gives me chills Kahn always scared me as a kid
It’s “And on the 7th day mankind will rest in peace !”
Both MK movies and Johnny Cage never got to land a clean Shadow Kick.
@@viralupadhyay3760 no he didn't, right when he went to land it, scorpion teleported both of them to a different realm.
LOL True
That one SHOULD have landed
Shao Kahn didn't see it coming, it would have knocked him back considerably
In the original cut of the first MK movie, Scorpion died from the Shadow Kick. They later revised the movie because there weren't enough fight scenes, and they edited the scene so that instead of the Shadow Kick landing, Scorpion teleports them.

2:04 to be fair to the actor playing Shao Kahn, he did a pretty good impression of "You will never win" like Shao Kahn says it in the games...
Ok but his voice is pretty bad compared to the others
1st film was clearly a 90’s film but why does the 2nd one look like it was shot in 1981
Maybe they tried to make it a prequel
1981 was a good year for movies ffs, don't shit on it.
More like 1973 but with high schoolers directing the film.
This comment is a insult to 80’s movies
Lower budget. Even the TV series Mortal Kombat Conquest had a better budget than this.
I watched this movie as a kid so I have an unfortunate love for it despite knowing it's not good lol.
Just inject that nostalgium straight into my veins lol
I remember loving this for the soundtrack. Shit slapped so hard.
We enjoyed this movie the way 2000's kids enjoyed the Star Wars prequels. The adults and teens of the time hated them but the kids loved them and didn't care about the cheesy aspects.
“Okay everyone, we’re about to invade earth, make sure to pose once you land Sindel do you’re big scream thing and walk in like a runway model”

Well that pretty much show even in this movie timeline, Raiden is still incompetent.
Even in live action characters death are Raiden's fault.
And shao kahn is always snapping necks
Even in the very first game, Raiden unintentionally dooms Earthrealm if he defeats Shang Tsung and wins the tournament.
"Raiden's victory comes as no surprise to him. He was never impressed by Shang Tsung's inferior sorcery, Goro's brute force, or the challenge of the other contestants. He quickly becomes bored with his mortal competition and soon invites other gods to participate in the contest. The ensuing battles rage on for years. And the wars result in our world's final destruction. Have a nice day."

“Holy shit. They killed this entire movie.
They’re really fucking around.”
Killing off characters left and right is hands down the laziest way to raise stakes because you just become numb to it and annoyed. Funnily enough the other main offender is MK2011
Then again, this is freakin’ Mortal Kombat. Characters die. Often brutally. It happens.
Except that wasn't Johny Cage. And that wasn't Sonya Blade. And that wasn't Raiden. And that wasn't Ja - WTF?! This studio!! Its one thing not casting one guy the same, but is it even still the same movie franchise when just about everyone is recast?
@@meg-k-waldren Yeah, only Liu Kang (Robin Shou) and Kitana (Talisa Soto) were portrayed by the original cast from MK1. Everybody else was recast for some reason. Heck, I liked the original Sonya (Bridgette Wilson) a lot more compared to this random forgettable blonde (no offense to the MK2 actress Sandra Hess). Same with Raiden; Christopher Lambert was awesome in his role as Lord Raiden imo. Now this new Raiden (James Remar) did his best, but his Raiden character behaved completely different from Lambert's portrayal, had terrible lines, and that "it's a new look" short haircut was just horrible imo. He just didn't look like Raiden at all anymore. Shao Kahn also felt more like a random brawn-over-brains musclehead with zero charcter depth; especially when he took his mask off. Imo he should have kept his mask on the entire time and have someone else do his voice; because his own voice made him sound ... dumb. Then again, bad writing and bad lines; so even at his best he wouldn't have been able to save the movie. Heck, his father was even less intimidating and that guy was supposed to be an Elder God. He looked like just an old guy in a Halloween cloak pretending to be a wizard or something.
Lord Raiden: recast
Johnny Cage: recast (and randomly killed off at the beginning of the movie)
Sonya Blade: recast
Jax: recast
Scorpion: recast; but he was killed in MK1 by Johnny Cage... Then again Scorpion is some kind of demonic entity so he might have come back from hell or something
Shao Kahn: kinda recast but in MK1 it was just a CGI character with Frank Welker providing the voice at the very end of MK1
But yeah, recasting 4 out of your 6 main protagonists wasn't a good look. Ah well, there's a reason I only have the original Mortal Kombat (1995) on blu ray. This 'sequel' was completely forgettable. Such a shame though as a lot of MK fans were looking forward to "Annihilation" but were incredibly disappointed by this sequel after having seen MK1 just 2 years earlier. I guess maybe the other original cast members either had better things to do or perhaps they read the garbage script and declined to reprise their role or something. 😜
I'm kind of glad they killed Johnny early on. I'm not sure I would have wanted to see this guy imitate Linden Ashby for ninety minutes.
Raiden had Shao Khan flying everywhere 😂
Back when Raiden was the real deal and not a jobber.😧
Man every time boss characters start losing they start cheating 😩
4:07 Lmao at the sound of those hollow ass bricks
How nobody won an academy award for this movie is beyond me.
What is not won can also be won.
this movie was just a dream Liu Kang was having after he won Mortal Kombat and he wakes up after saying WTF
lmao that explains why Raiden, Johnny Cage and Sonya look different
Liu Kang: "That's the last time I try outword 'shrooms."

dead.
I get that killing Johnny Cage both angered and saddened many people, but can we all take a moment to remember the fact that he charged at Shao Kahn to save Sonya Blade, knowing he would surely die. That takes a lot of courage to do that, and given his reputation before the Tournament, that was the most selfless act to do: Losing your life to save the lives of those you love.
I mean, yes, if done right, it could have been a really powerful and sentimental scene. But clearly, for some reason, the writers of this movie didn't want to make a great ending for Johnny Cage, they just wanted to get rid of him for some reason. Had he died in the final Mortal Kombar scene and then have Sonya take revenge would have been better but they would have to rewrite the entire movie to fit Johnny in it.
I'm going to dislike this because Shao Kahn didn't decapitate him in horrific fashion and leave left a bloody headless corpse.
Honestly didn’t even understand why Sonya had to climb onto that stage when an active fight between two literal super-humans was on.

I love this movie because its one of those "it's so bad it's good" type of films, it's pure comedy gold.
I completely disagree, doesn't even come close to so bad its good. It really is that bad.
This movie: A childhood guilty pleasure 😁🧡
Shao Khan's opening speech is how I arrive in churches
Omg lol 😆 best comment ever!
1:53 the good ol Shao Kahn shoulder tackle, works every time 🙂
“You would hide behind a human?”
“Why not, lord raiden, you hid behind them your entire pathetic life”
That was actually a good line. Possibly the only good thing in the movie!
Scorpion saying SUCKERS! is also hilarious and fire af.
AOC: Mama bear, you are alive?
Pelosi: Too bad. You won't be a speaker.
2:12 I'll give them credit for using the game sound effect for that moment. I thought it was cool lol

I have to say, god bless the actor who played Shao Kahn with very little he gave it his all.
He was in Terminator 1 as an extra one of those 3 street punks.....
@@SunnyBeeRandomTuber For real?! I didn't notice that the first time.

He was also the big ass vampire in the first season of Buffy the vampire slayer.

1:15 The ultimate script writing
The camera angles are the worst Ive ever seen the script was never gonna count anyway
"What closes can also open again."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
*Raiden looks back at her and slowly blinks*
Because whats open can also be closed again....
The most movie ever made!!!
You know Shao Kahn didn't say You will never win. His chin never moved
Trade me for Johhny Cage.
Khan: who's that?
Johnny: What? Citizen Cage? Ninja Mime? None of that rings a bell?
say it in Nostalgia Critic' voice
Loved this as a kid in the 90s and still do now. Was happy to finally see my favorite character Raiden actually fight. Both films hold a special place in my heart. Got to meet James Remar that played this Raiden at a convention back in 2019.
First 5 minutes of the movie: Johnny Cage dies
Me: AIGHT IM OUT.
I was fine with it, it was a stunt double anyway...
Page 62, 'Johnny Cage dies'? Is someone high?!
