    The similarity to Raiden from Mortal Kombat is not coincidental.

      Additionally Johnny Cage is based on Jean Claude Van Damme as MK was originally pitched as a JCVD game but that idea fell through.
      Sonya Blade is supposedly to a degree inspired by Sarah Connor from the Terminator (they even acknowledged it to a degree by giving her a Sarah Connor skin in the costume pack that came out around the time Terminator dlc showed up for MK) and... obviously... Liu Kang is inspired by Bruce Lee.

    James Hong, too, is such a wonderful actor. He's had such a long and diverse career, it's truly sad he's not more well known. He plays really great characters and, even in animation, as soon as you hear that unique voice, you know it's going to be good.

    Fun Trivia:Kurt Russell suffered a bad case of the flu during the scene just after the brothel, so the sweat on his body is real, caused by the fever.
    Fun Trivia:Production designer John J. Lloyd designed the elaborate underground sets and re-created Chinatown with three-story buildings, roads, streetlights, sewers, and so on. This was necessary for the staging of complicated special effects and kung fu fight sequences that would have been very hard to do on location. This forced the filmmaker to shoot the film in fifteen weeks with a $25 million budget.
    Fun Trivia:John Carpenter yelled at a special effects coordinator, after one of the squibs on the wall went off much sooner than expected. Kurt Russell said it was one of the few times he ever saw Carpenter lose his cool on-set.
    Fun Trivia:According to John Carpenter, the opening of the film with Egg Shen (Victor Wong) in the lawyer's office was added in at the request of 20th Century Fox executives, in order to make Kurt Russell's character Jack Burton more heroic (they didn't get the idea of Jack being a sidekick rather than a hero). Without the added scene, the film would have started with Jack driving to San Francisco.
    Fun Trivia:The Three Storms were partly the inspiration for the popular character of thunder god Raiden from Mortal Kombat fighting video game series, while David Lo Pan was the inspiration for the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung
    Fun Trivia:Jackie Chan was John Carpenter's first choice to play Wang Chi, but producer Lawrence Gordon was highly against it, fearing Chan's English wasn't good enough after seeing his performances in Battle Creek Brawl (1980) and The Protector (1985), but Carpenter wanted Chan after the success of Police Story (1985). Chan declined and Dennis Dun was cast instead.

    James Hong has appeared in approximately 600 films films and TV shows since his career began in 1954.
    he appeared in Chinatown with Jack Nicholson, he was in Blade Runner, and a hell of a lot of other things too. He is one of those actors that never has a staring role and you never know his name but you know him as soon as you see him.

    this is definitely a 'unique' movie. I figured you would recognize the "beholder" with all your D&D references. So many see him and go, what the eff is that.

    I was 3 when this came out, probably 5 or 6 by the time it found its way to Ireland and we could rent the VHS (American movies in the 1980s usually got here a few years after the fact). Suffice it to say it blew my wee mind. And when Mortal Kombat hit the arcades in '92, Raiden was my favourite character because of this movie.

    17:37 ... what most of us have been waiting for!! Matthew's laugh and perfect comment of "So, useless" caps off this reaction video!

    A💀LATOR! 🤣
    ANYWAY, this is an opportunity for me to call out to the HARD CORE FANS! Something I've noticed with the character of Lightning... Every time he uses his powers, it looks like some Chinese symbols appear in the lightning for a frame. Has anyone noticed this before, and if they have, do they know what the symbols mean?
