  • Before Mortal Kombat makes its way back into cinemas let's take a look at the movie that started it all! The 1995 adaptation is often considered the high watermark for video game to movie adaptations which is credited for it's close adherent to the source material. All your favorites are here, Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Shang Tsung and more! Does it hold up? Yeah I guess? Thanks for listening.

    the two fights which are generally considered the best in the film are Johnny's fight in hell with scorpion and Liu Kang's fight with reptile in outworld.
    These also happen to be the only fights in the film to be choreographed by Robin Shou (the actor of liu kang). after initial screenings it was generally mentioned that there weren't enough fights so they decided to reshoot two more fight scenes to beef up pre-existing 'fights', but couldn't get the original choreographer. Shou, who had previous work in fight scenes stepped in - initially the scorpion fight would have ended with Johnny killing his weird dragon rope thing and kicking him into a portal. The reptile 'fight' also would have ended with the CG creature kicked into the stone statue. Just goes to show that the film could have been so much better had they got Shou to choreograph all of it.

    • @m.e.1704
      @m.e.1704 9 месяцев назад

      Totally agree. The scorpion fight in particular is very well done and not given enough credit. With the only thing ruining it is some of the over the top moves. The reptile fight - best intro. The sounds definitely contribute to this scene as well. With such a decent budget, they really should have got Donnie yen on it. Flash point last fight scene - one of the best fight scenes ever

      It's an awesome film! It gets a lot of hate because it's Mortal Kombat and MK is associated with violence but this movie is pretty clean. However, if they aimed for a higher age bracket, no one would have been able to come and watch it; after all it was the 12-15 kids, perhaps even younger that were hyping up those games not adults. They knew what they were doing really.

    The Casting for Shang Tsung in the 1995 adaptation is hands down, THE GREATEST SINGLE CASTING CHOICE in Gaming adaptation history. The Line Delivery,the slithery creepiness in which he played the character, YOUR SOUL IS MINE,combined with him doing the the Martial Arts aspect of it enough to sell it is one of the reasons this movie holds up in a positive light after all these years.
    My main issue is,and I dont know who to blame,i think it's this movie, people use this movie to let Paul W.S Anderson keep making shitty gaming adaptations.
    Raul Julia falls to second only due to the fact that his Shakespearean performance and that Classic one liner(you know the one) make up for the fact he wasnt a Martial Artist.

    Still a fun, very watchable adventure movie. Sure Scorpion and Sub-Zero were kinda reduced to goons, but the other characters were pretty damn strong from a personality perspective, Liu Kang has a character arc that didn't really exist for the character, Johnny Cage killed it, Raiden was super different but worked for the quirky mentor character, Kano literally redefined the character in the actual games, and Shang Tsung doesn need any explanation.
