    Fun fact: Kano was originally not going to have his metal faceplate in the movie.
    The reason he has it in the movie is because the creators had children review the designs of the characters.
    When they saw Kano’s original design without the metal faceplate, they started saying over and over again that Kano has a metal faceplate in the games.
    So now Kano has a metal faceplate thanks to them.

      To be fair without the metal plate he just looks like a normal dude generic dude (like most of the non Kano and Kabal Black dragon goons), although I imagine it wasn’t that pleasant to wear for the actor since half his vision was probably obscured

    I agree with James about movie Raiden in terms of characterisation, but highly disagree about the voice. I’m not the first person to say I love it cause it literally sounds like electricity crackles through his veins. That’s why it was awesome they had him return as an alternate skin in MK11, the dialogue is better and his voice has aged in a way that makes the lightning effect even more pronounced.

    • @georgeoldsterd8994

      Raiden is a god, so he can take on any human appearance or form. I see no problem with him being played by a European actor. Now Sub-Zero and Scorpion, on the other hand. Still, at least they knew how to fight, so that's good.

I feared for my mental health as I could SWEAR I'd watched and liked this video before. In terror, I ignored it, I watched other videos in vain and tried to forget that time-stamp, but it never left my mind... Had I watched it? Had I actually experienced a Mortal Kombat (1995) Kill Count? I see it over, and over in my recommended videos; it calls to me. While I watch a completely unrelated video, there it lies: "2 days ago". Did I travel through time and space and watch it two weeks ahead of its release? Has time just followed me, as I have followed it throughout my life? Oh... Ohhhhhhhhh... Nah, it's just copyright stuff... Existensial dread averted :D

    Honestly, to me, this one of the most perfect movies. No I'm not joking. I am a very big fan of the MK series. MK2 is one of my favorite games of all time due to the commonly known fact that the AI is broken, therefore the game is super easy & yet will beat you down at random (in my experience). It's 90's corny but I'm a 90's kid so it fits. The story, though not entirely kept up with the game, EVERYBODY can watch & understand what's going on. I didn't watch Highlander until literally decades later so Chris, in my opinion was AWESOME as Raidon & is rasp was/is what made him unique & therefore I really liked him. Art's presents wasn't strong enough to "distract" the audience to the point where someone who's not familiar with MK almost won't ask how he's involved in the game. The music worked. The acting & jokes worked. When I hear the Reptile sound bite I lose my sh**. I loved who they cast. And as was said in this YT vid, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa is & will FOREVER be the best Shang Tsung. Everybody is a fan, rightfully so, of, "your soul is mine." Mine is when he says, "Fatality." That single word could've gone horribly wrong in so many ways (to the point of too corny even for the 90's) but Cary-Hiroyuki pulled it off as best as ANYONE could. Look, even after I just kissed this movies butt, I completely understand why people have thier complaints & criticisms. I really do. However the way this was executed, even minus the extreme violence, I personally think this works. Especially for a game-movie. It's almost it's own thing (maybe a spiritual successor in some odd ways due to entertainment medium) but I just love it. I love how they keep Shao a sort of mystery till the end. I love how EVERY character, especially Chan & Art DON'T overstay their welcome. Can you imagine if this movie was written poorly. An example is, Chan would've been trained by Liu Kang to become champion & Art could've just been Jax but just by simple name change. I could see that happening today & that kind of stuff would've pissed me right off as a fan, but it didn't. It did what it did with what it could & I think it's an overall fun & charming blast from the 90's.
    Great count Dead Meat. I'll see you on the next adventure.
