Johnny: "Who cares if it doesn't make sense!?" Raiden: "You should care, Johnny Cage!"(Zaps him for...taking his side?) Yeesh, even Dark Raiden at his worst wasn't that petty.
The cute little cat ears on Sub Zero and Scorpion are so silly. They look like they just arrived from the set of Cutey Honey where they were acting as Panther Claw minions. :P
Johnny Cage's line about how emphasizing how Mortal Kombat was about Mortals is a way better line than to just say "This fights to the death are totally about life, yo."
whether you like it or not johnny cage, and you sonya blade, and you liu kang, and you viewer, and you carlos fred and you sub zero, and you... raiden does what he wants
Looking back at this review, I find it funny that Jennifer Hale was Sonya in this and now she's Kronika in MK11. Now we just need Jim Cummings and Jeff Bennett in an official MK game and complete the set.
Jennifer was also Tanya in MKX. It’s funny thinking about those 3 very well known and very experienced voice actors were involved in something like this, well we all gotta start somewhere lol
Regarding that intro, would you WANT to live it? Even with the first game, a dead guy would throw a chain into you, a ninja would freeze you, a lizard would melt your face, a monk and an actor would kick you in the face, an angry Aussie would stab you, a soldier would shoot you, then snap your neck, a giant four armed guy would crush you and rip off your arms, a sorcerer would steal your soul (which is HIS!), then an angry god would blow the planet up. Have a nice day.
I was curious if Phelous would ever do a review on the MK Live Tour since he did all the Ninja Turtles stuff, but I'm guessing the intro to this video pretty much sums it up rather nicely.
“He is Scorpion from another ninja clan of Outworld.” WRONG! Outworld is a Realm and Scorpion is actually from the Japanese ninja clan of Shirai Ryu in Earthrealm.
He did say another ninja clan of outworld, which I think was meant in the same was as saying "clan of Japan." As in the place, not clan name. Still inaccurate, but SLIGHTLY less stupid. Also, Lin Quay aren't njnja.
this is a speeding train going off the rails, bursting into flames, then crashing through an orphanage filled with terminally ill cancer patients. never has a train wreck been so glorious and tragic.
damn it, why couldnt I find phelous first... NC turned me on to so many great reviewers.... but this guy.... he reviews every movie from my past that made me rip my hair out in fan-boy rage.
0:54, when you think Sub-Zero put something in your drink but he will neither confirm nor deny it based on the grounds he's insulted by the accusation.
The part where Raiden says Shang Tsung with that weird slow down like effect is one of the funniest fucking things I've seen in my life I don't know why but it always cracks me the fuck up and I always end up watching it over and over again with it still being hilarious every time. I can't be the only one who finds that part hilarious can I?
The copy of this I had as a kid cut from the battle against all the Barakas to the live-action final fight between Liu Kang and Shao Tsung from the movie. I thought it was so confusing.
Director: "We begin production tomorrow and I think we have a good cast. Commander Shepard as Sonya, Dr. Robotnik as the villains and Johnny Bravo as Johnny Cage*." Producer: "Great! Send them the script." Director "...I *KNEW* I forgot to write something." *They're pretty much the same character anyway lol
Pip bernadotte Most people do actually. It’s considered one of the very few exceptions of video game movie adaptations that are actually good with having only a few flaws in it. Shame no one can say the same about its sequel though which is total shit.
i am pretty sure I am the only human being on the planet clamoring specifically for the Thankskilling episode, but it has been unavailable to watch online for over 2 years, so I would love to see it uploaded.
Oh yea,definitely Clancy Brown. In Defenders of the Realm he's the only thing I like about the show (meaning: that i like the fact Raiden is voiced by Clancy Brown)
@@phelous That sounds like the perfect excuse when Sub-Zero is ripping on him... or if he ever has to face his "past self" for a Good Life commercial.
with the money they saved on those shitty 3D effects they probably could have hired some competent animators. why did they combine them anyway? that makes no sense and is so damn jarring.
I love how you had different costumes for some of the characters in Mortal Kombat at the background there. :D I've seen some of your videos having you cosplaying some of the characters. Great Job there, Phelous. :D
I remember buying this when i was a young teenager and i really thought it was going to be a 95 minute cartoon. Holy fuck, i felt ripped off by it. Only 45 mins and did not even cover a lot of the lore. Thank God for bittorent and pirate bay. I will only purchase anime, tv series and movies that are worth my money.
*(**7:34**-**7:40**)* Mortal Komedy reference FTW! (Especially since that particular song was one of the funniest bits on the show...) 😉 *P.S.:* Any chance you could review Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm?
@@mitchfletcher2386 Though, I kinda think this was originally his "audition" for the role of Johnny Bravo. I mean, think about it: He's playing a muscular guy named Johnny who's really full of himself, instantly falls in love with whatever hot woman catches his eye and wears sunglasses everywhere he goes. I'm telling you, the similarities between Johnny Cage and Johnny Bravo are uncanny!

"blammed off Newgrounds". Now there's a phrase that takes me back some years
'Where do you get these guys?" -John Cage
ccateni 28 *Johnny
Man, I can't believe you got the real Sub Zero to show up in your review.
Just remember... The guy who produced this somehow convinced enough corporate brands to sign up for FoodFight!
what is it with him and shitty animation?
Michael Scally 'Where do you get these guys?" -John Cage
and he also wrote Mortal Kombat: Annihilation's story. i'm not joking. look it up on IMDB.
Zack Wolf-Fox How does he keep getting work?!
How did he even get a job with movies to begin with?
I remember renting this movie at Blockbuster thinking it was the movie.
That happened to me too
Maybe that was the intent all along.
what is this blockbuster you speak of?
LOL
Oof.

Hank Hill: Mortal Kombat Champion.

Maybe Rayden was just pointing out how quiet it was?
Yeah, Rayden is a bit slow sometimes.
whether you like it or not johnny cage, and you sonya blade, and you liu kang, and you viewer, and you carlos fred and you sub zero, and you... raiden does what he wants
Raiden not Rayden.
@@MinscFromBaldursGate92 he was really called Rayden
Looking back at this review, I find it funny that Jennifer Hale was Sonya in this and now she's Kronika in MK11. Now we just need Jim Cummings and Jeff Bennett in an official MK game and complete the set.
Jennifer Hale and Jim Cummings were also in Baldur's Gate as Jaheira and Minsc.
Jennifer was also Tanya in MKX. It’s funny thinking about those 3 very well known and very experienced voice actors were involved in something like this, well we all gotta start somewhere lol
Jim Cummings should voice Rick from Slaughterhouse as a special appearance in MK :)

Have a nice day.
Raiden really has a Space Ghost thing going on in this, doesn't he?
I wonder if he's got a talk show where a zorak and moltar duo mock him constantly.
Holy shit, I remembered that I have a Mortal Kombat VHS that I got a long time ago at a yard sale. I just checked it and it is this movie.
I was curious if Phelous would ever do a review on the MK Live Tour since he did all the Ninja Turtles stuff, but I'm guessing the intro to this video pretty much sums it up rather nicely.
Well if you really want to see what that looks like I think Retsupurae did a commentary on that. Or something like it.
"It's AWFUL! Yaaaaaaaaaay!" Oh god that made me laugh so hard I almost peed my pants.
The way phelous says "YEAAAAAAA." "HELL YEAAA" kills me every single time.
“He is Scorpion from another ninja clan of Outworld.”
WRONG! Outworld is a Realm and Scorpion is actually from the Japanese ninja clan of Shirai Ryu in Earthrealm.

@10:33 so that's how Tien from Dragonball looked before he shaved his head, quite impressive XD
+staypuffrider As a matter of fact, It isn't!
Those first few seconds were the most excited I've ever seen Phelous in a video lol.
There is not one single drop of blood in this movie
So verry tru. It's Mortal Kombat,yet there is no blood at all. The animated video is made for kids.
@@Omega_1998_ because THAT MAKES SENSE (!) the games are TOTALLY FOR CHILDREN XD
This looks like one of those bible cartoons they show at school
And here I sat, thinking I had seen all bad Mortal Kombat adaptations already. Never even knew this thing existed
this is a speeding train going off the rails, bursting into flames, then crashing through an orphanage filled with terminally ill cancer patients.
never has a train wreck been so glorious and tragic.
Thomas Jenkins What a wonderful explanation
You forgot to mention that all of the cancer patients were just ONE DAY AWAY from retirement.
I love Liu Kang's mullet
Raiden in this looks like Chinese Space Ghost
Glad to know that you know who Jim Cummings is! I think it would've been hilarious if you pointed out that he's also Winnie the Pooh.
And Tigger, which is even funnier if you think of Shang Tsung and Raiden as deeper-voiced Tiggers.
Stephen Honaker Jim Cummings only did part of Scar's singing voice. His normal voice was from actor Jeremy Irons.
Jim Cummings has been A LOT of characters. One could easily call him the Mel Blanc of the 90's.
He's also the Terror Mask from the 2010 Splatterhouse game. So if you ever wanted to hear him cuss like a sailor....
And Minsc from Baldur's Gate.
I was feeling lousy today. This video helped :D
Phelan's speeding up the uploading. So great to see all these classic episodes. Phelan will have you laughing in the irst three seconds.
Balloon Sage Whether you like it or not there will be many more uploads to come.
damn it, why couldnt I find phelous first... NC turned me on to so many great reviewers.... but this guy.... he reviews every movie from my past that made me rip my hair out in fan-boy rage.
0:54, when you think Sub-Zero put something in your drink but he will neither confirm nor deny it based on the grounds he's insulted by the accusation.
6:03 the reason he waits till the tournament to kill subzero is to show he's not just a murderer like him

And no Jax complaining about Metal Arms. 0/10
THAT'S IT!
Also, Nightwolf didn't tap his button. -4/10.
WOW! Goro is OP! He should be banned from Online Play.
"GODDAMMIT I'M JOHNNY CAGE!!!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"NOW LIVE IT"
Yeah, you rip out someone's spine right now
I think the cliffhanger to this will be resolved in an animated movie they're making this year. Sadly they couldn't get the old animation team back.
Oh God, SATAM Robotnik was voiced by Cummings...
Also Minsc from Baldur's Gate.
He also did the voice of OLFRID, PATRON OF THE GREAT CLAN BATTLEBORN. A name I'm sure you know well.
@@TheeRevengenator and the terror mask from splatter house!🤯
Drunk at the animation studio isn’t a way to make a good tie-in.
I'm Commander FemShepard and this is my favorite reviewer on RUclips.
The copy of this I had as a kid cut from the battle against all the Barakas to the live-action final fight between Liu Kang and Shao Tsung from the movie. I thought it was so confusing.
But at least it was also an improvement.
14:12: Ah, I see that after being revived Kung Lao decided to become one with conquestland and he too became a shitty CGI model.
3:06 So... Is Sub-Zero trying to speak like a pirate or what? 😂
Wow, "That water animation loooks sooooo stuupiid."
It's completely useless now. Just kidding. It never had any use.
This movie's version of Raiden looks like Space Ghost.
And now Jim Cummings did the Splatter House remake terror mask
Director: "We begin production tomorrow and I think we have a good cast. Commander Shepard as Sonya, Dr. Robotnik as the villains and Johnny Bravo as Johnny Cage*."
Producer: "Great! Send them the script."
Director "...I *KNEW* I forgot to write something."
*They're pretty much the same character anyway lol
3:43
Oh my God! Look at that chin! This Enormous Woman Will Devour Us All!
I do believe anyone else could have animated this better.
Makes sense they called Sub-Zero a fairy tale, he is a ninja therefore he doesn't exist
I actually like the 1995 mortal kombat movie.
Pip bernadotte
Most people do actually. It’s considered one of the very few exceptions of video game movie adaptations that are actually good with having only a few flaws in it. Shame no one can say the same about its sequel though which is total shit.
@Isabeau FACT: It waz Paul William Scott Andersons' first movie way before Resident Evil and some say(or argue) it is still his best film.
So do I!
Edit: whoa, fastest like ever! 🥰
Phelous does too
Didn’t know this was a prequel to foodfight
I just remembered that my local family video used to rent this for free. Even they thought it was crap.
This is interesting remembering this with the new animated MK movie.
"You should give a shit Johnny Cage...SILENCE!!!"
13:41 Revenant Durok for "Who's Next!"
When I was a kid, I loved this video tape. As an adult, I wonder what the hell kid me was thinking.
i am pretty sure I am the only human being on the planet clamoring specifically for the Thankskilling episode, but it has been unavailable to watch online for over 2 years, so I would love to see it uploaded.
It's available now. (At least where I live.)
10:15 Woah, Hornbuckle made a cameo appearance.
okay. im hooked. love your stuff!
I think Clancy Brown did a better voice acting in the other cartoon than that one..
Absolutely. Also, am I the only one who thinks that he would have made a great live-action Raiden?
PrincessofPower84 Hell yes and also, I would think Midway could have used him to voiced the character in one or at least some of the games.
Oh yea,definitely Clancy Brown.
In Defenders of the Realm he's the only thing I like about the show (meaning: that i like the fact Raiden is voiced by Clancy Brown)
Aaaaaand Johnny Cage feels sick.
Lovely. For some reason I sympathize him!
Wow Raiden.... 300 pounds? That white robe of yours is really slimming.
The lightning weighs a lot.
@@phelous That sounds like the perfect excuse when Sub-Zero is ripping on him... or if he ever has to face his "past self" for a Good Life commercial.
Must have been all that wine
I look at this and wonder.. How would a Badass version of this look like?
I went to the live tour in Rochester ny. It was downright horrid.
i can't stop laughing at Sub-Zero's little kitty ears.
Those costumes from "The Live Tour" looked like they've ripped off from World Martial Arts Championship.
Lore fact, the older sub zero is named be-han and his younger brother is named qui-li-yang
Is it fitting I bought MKX yesterday?
Yes.
That's it!, I'm cancelling my subscription to the Lin-Q clan..
Good on you for avoiding becoming a cyborg.
I have great pride with the knowledge that later this spring we're actually getting a good animated Mortal Kombat movie.
You wear your sunglasses at night when you're so cool, the sun shines on you twenty-four hours a day.

I've seen some of your videos having you cosplaying some of the characters. Great Job there, Phelous. :D
I've always wondered why Andrew Dickman drew Sub-zero with giant cat whiskers on this title card...
I like his work, it's just a curious choice...
Davethe3rd It's because of the ninjas having those kind of kitty ears on top of their hoods in this.
Ah. Now that you mention it, they do!
+Davethe3rd Maybe they grabbed a super bell?
Davethe3rd I think it's because Sub-Zero has little cat ears in the cartoon, inexplicably.
in the games it was just a hood over their head.
but in this, comics, and promotional art, they had those cat ears, like phelous said.
Fun fact: Reboot was already putting out 3D animation that put this to shame every single week by this time, so there’s no excuse for this quality.
Poopoo head, good lord that came out of left field and I almost choked on my drink.
Satam Robotnik also voiced Minsk in Baldur's Gate.
Its obvious why Sub Zero and Scorpion don't have flaps Phelan, its because they didn't want to animate them, IM SO META!
Subzero : "Frozen Hadou-ken"
9:01 All I can hear is Darkwing Duck. It's especially funny if you watch the full fight.
