@Castor Tarantino lol I never said anything about the fights. Way to bring up absolutely nothing anyone was talking about. Sorry you lost your eyesight trying to read something to get triggered over.
Cole young is dumb so as mileena in movie . Raiden actor don't look impressive . Sonya , jax , Liu Kang and obiviosly kano did great job . According to mk rule choosen one can't be harmed out of the tournament but this movie screwed that all . Overall I still love cast and story of mk 1995 . Though reboot is atleast better than mk annihilation
@@beatsmithx1090 Yeah, Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa's return is GLORIOUS, but it also makes me wish they got some of the other cast members to voice the characters in the game, though the actual cast does a good job (I hope I'm not the only one who though Rhonda Rousey was a decent Sonya). And, unfortunately, it also sees the return of the ONLY flaw Tagawa brought to the character (though I can't fault him specifically for it): his weird attraction to Sonya.
Yeah I love Scorpion and Subzeo but they are not rlly the main chars of MK, they are defo the poster boys/mascots of MK, but plotwise the main chars always will be Liu Kang and Kung Lao to me.
Fully agreed. The entire conflict of all of Mortal Kombat is between these two: Liu Kang and Shang Tsung, that is why MK Aftermath was such a perfect story
love it or hate it, 1995 MK got the spirit of the original games right despite the lack fatality and Scorpion/Sub-Zero dumbed down. it embraced its cheesy roots with a wink in the eye and everyone was perfectly cast, better pacing, simple but effective storytelling where the lore felt more organic (no Arcana BS), and a killer soundtrack. the finale amps me up for a fight everytime lol. it was just overall a more enjoyable experience. i'm not even an MK fan, but was compelled to dig deeper after watching the reboot. yes they got a lot of things right from a movie fan perspective, but a lot of things wrong too
“YOU FOOL!!” That part always cracked me up 😂😂😂😂 side note: this movie is so amazing and it aged so well! People don’t talk enough about how this is the prefect Liu Kang! 🤷🏽♂️
The dynamic camera angles, background music, slow motion, high quality choreography that actually has kung fu, emotional tension of Liu Kang trying to save his younger brother's soul .... this fight was so much better than 2021
@@faseehahmed8222 I think it's definitely a toss up, the old movie was more Mortal Kombat than the new one, which took liberties and made other characters mains who aren't. So in reality, the old movie got it better, but the new one is OK, but why not use all the good music etc? You can't deny the old movie had better soundtrack, better sets, and better fights.
At first he was just there to avenge his brother's death. It wasn't until he met Kitana that he finally realized what was at stake in the tournament. Once he accepted his destiny he chose to fight for the Earthrealm not just his brother.
I know. Plus, they had him angered over losing his girlfriend in a shooting. In the games and the first MK movie, Liu's reason for revenge on Shang Tsung is the death of his brother, Chan(Chow in the game version).
Everyone on this cast really nailed their roles honestly, when I first watched this after playing the game, the nostalgia I got seeing how the actors were with these characters really wowed me.
@@codygriffin8256 Agreed. If they wanted to emphasize Scorpion’s story line, then it should’ve just been Scorpion himself. Cole was useless. Liu Kang will always be the “chosen one” to me.
@@delta2372 Most of them. He wasn't in Deadly Alliance and came back as a zombie in Deception, so there were points where he was absent or out of commission as his normal heroic self.
As much as I enjoyed the new Mk movie it’ll never even come close to hype levels of this scene when I saw this in the cinema. People were really into this once the song played. Robin Shou as Liu Kang is still the best live action one imo and Cary Hiroyuki is the best Shang Tsung
I love that line from Johnny Cage to Guru after hitting him bellow. " this is where you fall down." and from Lui Kang. " you can look into my soul but you don't own it." M. K.
hey say what you will, he disarmed scalped and decapitated goro in one attack. the fact he needed help every other time was a bit sad. honestly they could of made him a white guy call him johnny cage, and hell keep the scorpion bloodline i dont care. But tournement movies are better then 2021 crap.
@@michaelflores6994 I read that Shang tsun's salute means "power over will" (the fist over the palm) and Liu's mean "will over power" (the palm over the fist)
Rewatched this movie after watching the 2021 version... this film still beats the newer Mortal Kombat for me. Character motivations that are explicitly told, character arcs that are fulfilled, and an ending that felt earned.
A part of why the characters story are fulfilled is due to the fact of a well balanced in the amount of characters. The 2021, much like Annialation, had so many characters that you are just not sure who to follow nor do you get a chance to learn or get to know the characters. This one film having only Liu Kang, Sonya, and Johnny Cage being the main focus really was enough.
@@jasonlorphotofilms I think you’re absolutely right. It’s hard to flesh out your characters and make sure everyone has an arc that’s believable and feels authentic and actually allows the characters to breathe and for the actors to show more of their chemistry. Although the special effects in this film are admittedly outdated, it still stands for me, as the strongest live action Mortal Kombat film. That’s not to say the 2021 film was all that bad. I think there was certainly some things that work, but I also think there are some ideas they need to abandon and rather focus their efforts on writing likable and great characters. The lore behind it is there, they just need better dialogue and character moments.
Kitana looks just perfect here. I'll never get used to the asian look she has now in MK11. As a Kitana fan, I grew up with Talisa Soto's look, which influenced Kitana's face in lots of games back then. What I also loved was the interracial relationship between her and Liu Kang.
@@Alysa-Aiday Basically he's saying in the first part of a boss fight you fight them in their regular form then they pull some type of power up bullshit or minions in this case lol. Then they try to mind fuck you at the end but you stay focused and finish them.
@@bbbqchknexe6425 They could have done that which would have allowed the use of both the original actor and the current actor. He's Ng Chin Han when he's at full power, then becomes Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa when he's losing the fight and losing his grip on the souls he possesses. There's similar moments to this in Willow, Revenge of the Sith, and Big Trouble in Little China, so it's a bit derivative but for Shang Tsung, it kinda makes sense.
Liu gave Shang Tsung such an azz whoopin that he turned his life around, changed his name, moved to hawaii, became a surfing legend, and eventually stopped the feud between the sky's and urchins...
He matched the description of Liu Kang perfectly. I grew up watching HK Cinema in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Robin Shou hadn't appeared until late 80s and early 90s including Steven Ho who played Liu Kang young brother. Steven Ho appeared in Jet Li movie twice; The Master and Dragon Fight.

@@TickNation The fact they were both experienced martial artists was a plus. The actors who played Sonya and Johnny Cage were just pretty to look at...
@@AgentFlea wtf are you talking about he said mostly dumbass and in the original they did have more martial artist than the new and you didn't have to insult.

Респект, огромный!!!!
his fight vs reptile was more serious and harder than this one
juggernuts1000 yeah. Because the actor for the reptile was actually a martial artist, -and so is the Robin Shou(actor for Liu Kang) btw- it is bound to be a great fight scene.
@@jayH325 i akways laugh at his fight vs reptile. the anouncer introduce reptile and as soon as reptile is awake, he jumps straight on liu kang with a kick. damn that guy doesnt waste any second
Yeah the fight against Reptile is the best, after that, the fight against Sub zero.
Reptile was the hardest one in The first arcade game in fact
@@ElectrikZombie yeah, only later they made reptile a loser who gets beat up by everyone. its so anoying.
That dragon logo on the ground looks amazing lol. It's perfect.
Imagine being in a life or death fight with someone and then when you bust his lip he stops fighting to call you a fool.
Well guess it's time to dust off the VHS player
Wes it’s on Netflix if you have that
Wes make it a block buster night😅📼🍿😏
Netflix my friend.

Best mortal kombat movie ever made
This scenes watching Lui Kang beat everyone up one after another made me want to be the best FIGHTER EVER!! not to mention they did Liu Kang justice in this movie he washed everyone 🔥🔥🔥
Lui kang vs reptile and lui vs smoked where gets the beat down are better lol
Wonder if we'll get a *Robin Shou* skin for Liu Kang in MK11? 😱
That's unlikely, but would be fucking awesome.
I feel like the models they’ve been using since Mk9 all look like him. They just make Liu Kang in the video game more brolic which I’m not a fan of. Should have a lean body type like Bruce lee
Robin Shou doesn’t get enough credit as Liu Kang!! Perfect casting for him and Shang Tsung.
@@TickNation The fact they were both experienced martial artists was a plus. The actors who played Sonya and Johnny Cage were just pretty to look at...
@@TickNation Sadly He ruined his own movie career
In this Mortal Kombat they should of made it so that Shang Tsung keeps changing into Different characters
Budget.
I Dont think so
I think your Budget

Jombom fombo
ICET100 budget and at that time technology wasn’t really cheap

How would you know
When I was little, the first round fight between Liu Kang and Shang Tsung was one of my favorite movie fight scenes.
Sees Shang Tsung change into Chen: "Chen!?"
Lol movie iq
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 FACTzs
😂😂😂😂😂
Always laughed at this moment) This scene turns Liu into idiot)
1 of the most classic movie scenes from my childhood!!!
We was knocking this a while ago. It's funny to see everyone now appreciating this movie that much more.
Bridget is pure honey!!!!! Cary is a amazing Shang Sung, he is awesome in the Krypt and cant wait for him in the DLC!
The new Mortal Kombat movie has a lot of hype to live up to.
I enjoyed this way more than the recent attempt.
2:43 I'm dying at the Shang Tsung T-pose
Better than 2021 movie
This was so much better then the new garbage on hbo
Just came back to this from watching the new MK movie. This was so much better, mostly because this had legit martial artists.
It's better because it had a better writer and director and not a woke and fake fan.
And legit martial artists
lol the new one had legit martial artists but absolutely awful fight choreographers
@@tremainehughes9342 Bro, Joe Taslim (sub zero) and Lewis Tan are legit martial artists. Please don't be stupid
@@AgentFlea wtf are you talking about he said mostly dumbass and in the original they did have more martial artist than the new and you didn't have to insult. Because Robin Shou, Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa, Linden Ashby as Johnny Cage, Keith Cooke, Chris Casamassa, Francois Petite, Hakim Alston,and Steven Ho are all martial artists. Please at least name that many martial artists in the new mortal kombat dumbass. Y'all only had 4 which are Joe Taslim, Hiroyuki Sanada, Lewis Tan and Nathan Jones. Next time before insulting think first.
One of my favorite "so bad it's good" films. Tagawa steals every scene he's in.
"You punched me during the course of a fight to the death...you fool!"
I like how Liu Kang watches Shang Tsung morph into his bro in front of him but is still conflicted.
Beautiful scene, you can see " Robin shou " changing the acting pace greatly.
I like how fast and fit Cary Tagawa was back in the day :)
0:20 excellent music & fighting begin
This Liu Kang kick ass. The new one is a tour guide.
