      Honestly Mortal kombat the movie 1 had a better vision for the actual characters than the orignal game itself, I only wish they copied Raiden from MK1 so we could get the actual lightning bad ass, instead of "I MOST CONSOLT THE ELDER GODS TO WHIPE MY ASS" raiden.

      Watch the original movie in '95. he sounded WAYYYY different back then. why he's speaking so slow & why Shang Tsung is speaking so slow, is because first, he IS the guy who plays Shang Tsung NOW, & second, cuz he's near 70, & he clearly has problem speaking quickly these days.

      @@Elfo_Scuro You can add Sonic to that list too. Watched it recently, enjoyed the movie. And if we consider the length, Warcraft was a good one too. Should have been like 3 hours long, in my opinion, but all things considered it was good enough. Enough fanservice, but I brought a friend who knows nothing about it, yet said it was a good movie. So was even enjoyable for a complete non-gamer.

      Some characters just cannot be performed by anybody else. For Shang Tsung, that is Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and anybody else that plays him in the future, they'll do their best, but it will be difficult for them to top this guy's portrayal. And it really is great that he is still alive and can see what his performance looks like in the finished product.

    • @judaihyuga
      @judaihyuga 4 года назад +5

      It was great to have him back for Aftermath. I enjoyed Tagawa's portrayal during the movie, he did a fantastic job, but Aftermath was just Shang Tsung flexing his skills in deception from start to finish, and I honestly don't think it would have been anywhere near as awesome without Tagawa. His voice is like honey with every line he speaks, but you can also hear him silently mocking everyone the whole time. My favorite scene was when he realized that Liu Kang actually played him, he just sounded so delighted by the idea that the honorable Liu Kang would actually play the long game behind his back and Tagawa's delivery was just so good. God bless this man and his glorious talent.

When the movie started and the logo popped out through the flames and the song started playing with that voice yelling MORAL KOMBAAAAT, the entire room erupted. Everyone started applauding and screaming, something you only see in huge football matches like the finals of world cups etc when a team scores. It wasn't a normal movie experience. I've never seen it in any other movie, be it Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Avenger or anything else, no matter how big the franchise. That moment in that room playing Mortal Kombat, has never been achieved by any other film.

      I totally agree with you on that chupasaurus, and you're right about Shao Kahn, it was great they brought back Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shang Tsung, it also would have been cool if they bring back Brian Thompson who portrayed Shao Kahn, in the second movie, his voice was so memorable to me!

    The universe has a funny way of putting the EXACT right person in the EXACT right place and time. This man was officially immortalized the moment he accepted the role in the first movie. Much like how Chistopher Lee is remembered for being Saruman, so too shall Cary Tagawa be remembered for being Shang Tsung.
    Life officially lived lol
