ANIME BOIS???????????
JOJO NOW
You're, like, really late on your own video
Demon slayer
Another (2012) was pretty good from what I remember
Soul eater
I like how Mista GG and DeadMeat decided to shit on this movie on the same day 👏🏼👏🏼😂 I’m here for it
Ik I noticed that too lol🤣
thats exactly wat i was thinking
Lmao I was looking back and forth like "Noway"
This is currently where the views are at. Everyone is doing it with the new movie coming.
Thank you Yami, very cool
The actor for Johnny Cage did what Johnny Cage would actually do. He read the script, "this sucks! Get somebody else." (Puts $300 sunglasses on and walks away) lol
$500
I still kinda wished he'd stuck around. I always hate when you get attached to a duo or trio of characters, and one of them bails on the sequel.
But I get it. The movie was absolute trash.
Method acting
Page 62 Johnny Cage dies? Is someone high?!
@@totalrko Cassie Cage : Sup?
Johnny Cage : Page 62 Johnny Cage dies? Was someone high?
Cassie Cage : I heard you have nearly got into a movie worse than Ninja Mime, dad.
Johnny Cage : Yeah, i was supposed to die in it.
Cassie Cage : Can we recreate that scene fr?
ROUND 1
FIGHT!
I remember my younger brother was so hyped for this movie. When he got back from the theatre he looked like he had just witnessed an execution
😂😂
Technically it was lmao
Lmfaoooo more or less accurate
I seen this in theaters as a kid. Even then I knew something was off about this movie.
He must around my age but when the first movie came out I thought I'd die of Happiness and excitement in the theater 😊
I love that Johnny Cage's original actor said "nah fuck that movie I'm done" just after reading the script
Hopefully he was handsomely compensated for exposing his eyeballs and brain to this SCrIPt.
Linden Ashby is honestly so underrated. My guy would’ve been such a good Johnny Cage for longevity... but then they tried to give him this trash. They ruined something great man 😂
He just didn't give into his Animality ..
😆
Page 62, Johnny Cage dies? Is someone high
He dies during the events of the 2nd game so likely he turned it down because of his character’s early death, since this movie is based off 3.
“And they come out swinging with the banger that is the Mortal Kombat theme song” and it literally goes down hill from there, *SO FAST* they might as well have called it Mortal Kombat: The Ride.
That sounds like a theme park ride where everyone just gets decapitated at the end.
@@Taylor-pz7cj to be fair, I would prefer that over watching the “animality” fight scene in this movie again. Or any part with Nightwolf
@@bible91 yeah I agree lol
In case you didn't notice, they reused the footage of Rain falling into the fire pit for Baraka getting knocked into the fire pit and you can clearly see it's Rain 😂
Oh no. I see it now!
Dude thank you for pointing that out. I never noticed.
YOU CAN EVEN SEE THE HAND OF THE STUNT COORDINATOR CATCHING HIM BELOW 💀💀💀💀💀
Yup. Noticed that when I first saw the movie. But who cares rain is dead
never noticed this, that's awesome lol!
Looking _beyond_ fresh, my friend.
must be the hair
@@MistaGG are you ever gonna shave the mustache
What’s up fellow strugglr?!
As soon as I saw the threads, I knew you’d be down here.
Only noticed in like the last 30 seconds of the vid. Was like, "That hoodie looks hella comfy tho....Wait! GG is a Struggler?!?" 😄✌
My favorite part of this movie is Scorpion saying SUCKERSSS!!! when he kidnaps Katana
I should've mentioned that part lol
@@MistaGG holy shit I got recognized by Mista GG? Well that's going to be my highlight of the day!
@@PuppyBearOSO *life
@@PuppyBearOSO your profile picture will never not make me laugh
@@MistaGG smoke used sektor's chest rocket too
Lol if you think this one was bad, watch the one season prequel tv show.
TV SHOW!?!
@@YazTeondra- yes tv show with original character Siro the greatest mortal kombat character ever
Mortal Kombat Conquest?
Thanks for blessing me with this comment
Yooo ... conquest was pretty good imo
I was one of those guys who were at the theater. I was a high schooler. U're right, I was so hyped up for this film because I loved the first one. In the movie, all I could think was "is it me or do the effects suck?" We didn't have IMDB back then to tell which movie sucks.
I was in high school when it came out and I was actually bored.
Eh, I was a fan of the games and the first movie, which I probably watched a thousand times, sometimes three times a day (it was the only VHS-cassette I had) and I still refused to see this movie even to this day. And IMDb started in 96, a year before this film came out.
@@JDelwynn oh wow. why did I think IMDb was far older than that? and since it was only a year old, it's possible it wasn't very well known at all, hence why OP didn't know about it.
You just had Siskel and Ebert giving two thumbs up or down. They didn't cover this one, but they covered the original. Ebert didn't like it. Siskel said he liked it so much that he was considering playing the game! I usually disagreed with Siskel, but homie didn't let me down for Mortal Kombat!
Johnny Cage dying was the most shocking thing I had ever seen in a movie at the time
People still be upset at that 😂
I feel it was a waste, seeing how shitty the rest of the movie was.
Why? He'd already died in 3 before this came out. He even has a gravestone in the Graveyard stage.
JC is an experienced action movie star, maybe after he saw that they are making no sense he decided to wanted out in this shitty sequel and decided to charge Shao Kahn to escape this abomination.
it made sense to me since Johnny Cage died between the MK2 and MK3 storylines - he was killed during the Outworld Invasion of Earthrealm which is why he wasn’t on the MK3 roster. I didn’t think the movie would follow the games though, so in that sense I was just as surprised as you!
Alright GG here's the thing, I actually was in the theater when this was released. It was me, my uncle, one of his friends and my grandad... The song was hype as fuck still, but on opening weekend, there were only 4 people in that entire theater. Yep, that's how awesome annihilation was.
Bruh... you’re kind of a film critic at this point.
A highly respected film critic...
With a wild flesh light collection 😂
Was gunna like..but at sixty nine.. nah..can't do that
He's not a critic, he just likes to pick apart films.
For the fans.
Hes not really a critic just someone who picks apart movies. He's quite funny
@@abdullaahmedi3990 He’s not a “professional” critic but I’d say that based on the definition alone he pretty much is one.
17:50 they literally stopped trying in this movie. They made it so obvious that the actor is wearing fake rubber wrist while showing his actual knuckes off no makeup or nothing lmao omfg
Sindel looks like she just got back from a spin class in the 80s
Bruh, so accurate.
She was pretty milfy though. Kitana and Jade were not bad either. Terrible film though.
Kitana is the adopted daughter, Mileena is a clone of her mixed with one of Baraka’s species, but she is one of Kahn’s top people.
I don’t know why raiden even talks to the elder gods in the games if they’re just gonna be like “idk deal with it yourself lol”
Tough love lol
This was one of my childhood movies. I...I had no idea it was this bad. Admittedly I haven't watched it in probably over 15 years but still.
Aw man, I _just_ realized that Rain is purple because of the Prince song.
🤦🏽♂️
@@KingXOreo this.
You... you _just now_ realized he's Purple Rain?
Oh, buddy... It's okay. Bring it here
Wait till you find out that he is a Prince of Outworld aswell
That shao kahn and raiden being shinnoks sons thing really confused me as a kid lol
This movie makes Michael Scott's Threat Level Midnight look oscar worthy
It always was
I believe that film won many an Oscar that year
That is a brilliant assessment of this shitty film
Threat level midnight is a fucking masterpiece.
Do you not know how many Dundee's that film received
The transportation ball was single handedly the most unintentionally hilarious thing I have ever seen lmao...
“SUCKERS!”
-Scorpion, 1997.
Lmao that shit had me dying can't believe he didnt let that play
I'm actually surprised he didn't mention the whole Jax taking off his *cybernetic* metal arms and getting stronger because of it. Honorable mention maybe??
I think this recast is part of the reason everyone thinks recasting goes wrong 10/10 times
I saw this in theaters when it came out. I was mega hyped. My mom made my sister take me. And my mom brought me to see the first Mortal Kombat movie in theaters. So not even she was willing to sit through MK Annihilation for her baby boy.
Dead Meat just released a kill count on this movie today too. What a country, I mean coincidence
“Sonya might as well have been recasted as Riley Reid watching Johnny Sins get his hog snapped”
Not a sentence I thought I’d hear when I woke up today
I'd watch that
When the first movie hit theaters, it displayed the most advanced computer animation we'd ever seen. Every local news station devoted a segment to the movies release. The visuals were that ground-breaking at the time.
@Tiger He's being sarcastic. It was completed trash, even at the time. Other movies did much much much better.
The soundtrack was very popular in nightclubs at the time.
@@iHaveTheDocuments Johnny mnemonic and Batman Forever came out around the same time................so no they did not do “much much better”
@@iHaveTheDocuments I wasn't being sarcastic
@Tiger Don't listen to this dude. I wasn't being sarcastic. I have vivid memories of watching the news and seeing the segments devoted to this movie and how revolutionary some of the visuals were.
Did you notice that when baraka is killed the person/corps falling into the death pit is actually just to reuse shot from earlier where one of the nameless ninjas is thrown in there?
You and James from Dead Meat must have a psychic connection because you both uploaded videos about the same movie on the same day, lol.
Lol I peeped this
“Raiden peaces out, along with the movies budget” LMAO 😂
So yeah didn't expect for you to pop up and be like Hell yeah, tower of god
he’s just tryna help sell the ad but he ain’t wrong
@@F3bzer it's not like I lied. I actually watched it and plan to finish it lmao
@@MistaGG It's originally a comic. Loved it. Can't wait for more anime. Is it that good? Cuz it felt a bit light to a "seasoned lore vet" like me.
The movie that really tanked a franchise was kick-ass 2
Wait, there was a Kick-Ass 2????
Kick Ass was never good
At least it had two movie, some do it in the first one like Tom Cruise fucking up The Mummy and Avatar TLA.
@@msjkramey it was a good take on a superhero movie.
I absolutely love the blank look on Liu Kang's face when he says "You will die for this, Jade"
Like you know my man really meant that shit
I love that Shao Khan sounded like he was attempting to hold back a laugh😂😂😂
Really i always thought he sounded close to crying lol
Shit we all were
I always thought it was funny when Nightwolf kept saying "your animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality animality"
This was my favourite bad movie as a kid cause I loved mortal kombat as a comedy so I used to go around the play ground saying
"TOO BAD YOU, WILL DIE"
I remember seeing the trailer for this in theatres for the first time and being more excited than I had been for any movie, looking at the billboard ads outside the theatre in anticipation for months, and then seeing it in theatres, all with my Mom. I still remember the walk from the car to the lobby, the lobby layout, and the hype when I heard the mortal kombat theme song play at the opening credits. Memories 💜
Mista GG with the late night vids 🙏
youre the first person to be able to take these movies seriously enough to contextualize a review. thanks man
I think the Melena being Shao Kahn's adopted daughter thing didn't happen until like 10 years after this movie was made.
Yeah before now she was just a clone of Kitana if I remember right.
In MK2 she was said to be Kitana's twin sister, until it's revealed in her ending that she's an experiment so I think Shao Kahn was still considered as her father ? idk
I LOVE the fact that Baraka's fiery death was just recycled footage of Rain's death earlier in the movie, LOL!
Linden Ashby has played two characters perfectly. Johnny Cage and Sheriff Stilinski
The killing of Johnny Cage is cannon to the OG games. The actor who played Johnny in MK 1 & 2, Daniel Pesina, got in trouble for being in ads for a competing fighting game. So Johnny Cage was killed off right before MK 3. Why they decided to stick with this detail for the movie when it gets so much other shit wrong, I have no idea.
When mista gg and dead meat talk about the same topic for two weeks is a win
Agreed; I am a happy man.
I love this movie. Mostly for nostalgia reasons. I fully understand that it isn't a good movie however, it was one of the handful of vhs tapes we had in my house growing up so I watched it ALOT as a kid. Still live it now even knowing it's trash lol
Right there with you, this movie is literally a fucking huge part of my childhood, me and my brother would reenact the fight scenes and pretend to be various characters etc, we had a ripped version my dad recorded from the TV on a blank VHS and we treasured that shit, this and Arnold's Predator movie lol
You mentioned Kung pow! You should review that movie!! I would absolutely love that
"SPECIAL EFFECTS BABYYYYY!" lol thank you for that, I'm still laughing over it
You were so much nicer to this movie than we were when it came out.
I've recently started exploring your work. You've really got a hell of a sense of humor and editing skills.
Also, you're SOMEHOW a /funny/ Angry Joe. Your little acting bits are almost always legit entertaining.
Keep it up. You're dropping quality content.
I just found your channel again after months of looking for it and I haven’t laughed like this in a while. Congrats on 700k btw!
Alright, now you definitely need to check out the TV Series: Mortal Kombat Conquest. Yeah, It's bad but it's awesome, I loved it as a kid lol. Characters are pretty cool and cheesy and it only lasts one season (hardcore ending!) Also, I loved me some Jeffrey Meek as the jokey Raiden and let's not forget Siro, the greatest MK character to ever grace the screen.
Good timing. The Kill Count for this movie was just released. Check it out GG, I wanna see that Dead Meat x Mista GG collab.
"it moves so fast, it's like you're not moving at all" - Kitana, describing the Velosphere.
"Dont think about it. You guys like robots?" 😂😂😂😂
Are we going to ignore the "too bad YOU... will DIE." line? that's like the highlight of this movie!
It’s mentioned around 14 min
Getting 2 MK Annilation videos in one day? Hell yeah
Dead meat💪💪
i love the both of you
I'm very surprised you didn't point out at 17:58 that when he kicks Baraka into the pit it's just Rain getting smashed in by Shao Khan just a different angle you can tell from the outfit. Once you see that you see it every time haha.
The fight music gives me heavy Might Morphin Power Rangers vibes
OG Sonya Blade was doing ‘I know what you did last summer’ OG Raiden i don’t really know, and OG Johnny read the script and said hell no
Mista, if you ever do want some recommendations on anime you'd just have to say what genre you like and I 100% guarantee you'll get tons of responses.
Shiva being killed so quickly is annoying because in the games she usually played a "pre-boss" role and was actually pretty tough to beat. But in the movie she gets gimmick-killed. Sad.
Man this movie makes me sad, it just doesn’t hold up nearly as well as the first one.
And why did they have to kill my boy Cage 😭
Edit: They also didn’t do one of my favorite characters Jax justice
GG and Deadmeat on the same movie on the same day. 🤯
I was just saying that 😂🤣
I always heard that Johnny's original actor wanted more money for a sequel, what with killing goro and scorpion, and the studio killed him so quickly to get away with paying him like nothing.
Tho it's been years since I first read that and have no idea how accurate it is.
Because it was the directors first film, he decided they didn't need johnny cage. Sonya wanted half a million dollars to come back and the director paid a new girl 50 grand to do it and pocketed the rest
I was just looking for something to watch and got the notification! Thanks for the video! 👊😎
Is it me or does Jade’s eyebrows morph into a completely different shape and makeup became darker after she revealed she tricked them? Lol that always stuck with me
Seriously? are we not gonna talk about shao kahns party city mask and the fact that he wore his iconic mask for all of 5 min in the movie
I know I’m late, but Fun Fact: the actor playing Baraka is Ray Park, AKA Darth Maul from the Star Wars prequels. He’s also a pretty prolific stunt guy. Crazy that he’s one of the more famous people in this movie and he’s in it for all of 2 seconds
Source: trust me bro
@@nickclark18 Source: a 2 second look at Ray Park’s IMDB. You make it seem like it’s so unbelievable and at the same time come off like a douche
Goddamn I am in tears at your reaction to the "at the zoo" line.
The scene with the giant hamsters balls has the same music from American Pie when Jim was dancing for Nadia 😂
American Pie premiered AFTER this movie
Ok but the soundtrack to this movie SLAPS. My mom used to blast it in the car when I was a kid.
23:31 Is that a Dead Meat reference? That's nice!
MistaGG and Leon Lush are the only two guys on youtube who I enjoy watching the promo ads for. So much entertainment ^_^
I’m only eight minutes in but you better talk about Sonja falling on the giant boulder and it shaking. And Raiden falling on the tiny rock and breaking his fucking back.
When Mr. GG stopped doing predator chronicles we broke up and now we’ve recently started talking and are thinking about trying again
Got those feels again
"Wait who TF are you?... and who TF are you?? WHO TF IS THIS???" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 My EXACT reaction first time I saw the movie!
YES OUR BOY IS FINALLY GETTING INTO ANIME
Let’s fuckin go! 🤘🏽 I remember this mess of a cinematic experience being a part of my childhood. The special effects in this movie, especially the last fight are so ridiculous, I love it.
nothing compares to watching the very first mortal kombat movie at my friend's house because my mom thought it was 'too mature' for me.
during the events of the OG MK2-MK3 story (Outworld Invasion of Earthrealm) Johnny Cage was canonically killed, explaining his absence from MK3’s roster - so the opening of this movie was pretty true to the lore. but then Raiden opens his mouth and Shao Kahn laughs and Sonya screams and Sindel poses and Kitana Surprise Pikachu faces and I fucking die from second-hand embarrassment.
“I wanted to die a mortal... like you.”
you wanted to “die a mortal,” as opposed to what? an immortal? you wouldn’t be able to die then! A+ writing, I love it. also, Sub-Zero looks like Ross from Friends in this (David Schwimmer).
Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting game, and I can't imagine what my feelings would be watching a Soul Calibur movie... The cringe would be strong. There's probly an 8% chance it'd be dope
Less than 8%
Prolly like 0
Literally rewatched this yesterday. I didn't remember it being so bad when I was younger
I actually watched this in the theater when it came out. Me and my friends had high hopes for it but I remember my dad could read the disappointing on our faces when he picked us up.
"Was it bad?"
"Bad doesn't even begin to describe what we just saw. They turned into shitty looking dragons at the end".
30 million dollar movie!? Someone was walking around with 29 million dollars in their pocket
I loved this movie as a kid. It was one of the few VHS movies we had so I watched it like once a week at least lol
How did Scorpion come back? Johnny threw a spear at him and chopped his skull in half with a sharp shield. What kind of wherever Scorpion was survives something like that?
The K Rool vs Blue Eyes joke was golden lmao
Ray Park, AKA Darth Maul is the stunt double for Raidan!
I was in theatres when this came out. I was stoked. It's still one of my guilty pleasure movies, along with the first.
Damn you and Dead meat released a review for both MK movies
Yeah that was directed by the same guy that did Annabelle and Wish Upon. Didn't know it was his first movie. I wonder if he blew it on pricey film equipment and shooting locations.
I thought the first Mortal Kombat movie was a masterpiece when I first saw in in theaters when I was a kid, so seeing this for the first time even back then...was a disappointment... but ALMOST in a so bad it's hilarious kind of way. So I have some fond memories of it, sadly, lol.
A masterpiece?
I HOPE your joking kid
DUDE the "workout" song brings back memories. the song is called Fire by Scooter. man it has been like 2 decades since the last time i heard it
I am crying now. This movie hurts.
Love ya Mista GG. You dropped off my notification feed, but glad I looked you up and found ya again
If you really haven’t seen it yet, the one anime you absolutely need to watch is Death Note. It’s been 15 years since it’s original airing, and it’s still not just the best anime i’ve ever seen, but one of the best TV shows ever made, animated or otherwise--it is that good and I would love to see you review it. At only 37 episodes, it’s a relatively short and easy watch, but at some point you will be begging for more episodes because you just don’t want it to end. 📓🖤
Yes. I agree. No adaption was ever as good as the original anime. It was layered so well.
Cringe
Yo...that Raiden monologue made me spit tea everywhere.... "You still know martial arts! You know...kind of like Katana..Kind of like Sonya....You just lost the.... NABBA TA TAHHHH"
Man... i actually remember seeing Annihilation in theaters as a kid. Even back then i knew something was off. It felt so cheap compared to the original movie. And half the cast were replaced by worse actors.
Facts 💯
