Action-Adventure Mortal Kombat 2

Yeah, I cannot agree that Johnny sucks in MK95. That moment where they pump in the music from his fake movie, Gore crushes his glasses, and Johnny says "Alright, let's dance" before split punching him the balls....that's all time awesome. It's an amazing setup and payoff. So well crafted in a way nothing in the newer movie was

Yep, I love that scene. I honestly never cared for Cage as a character until I saw the movie. I always played Scorpion or Sub-Zero in the games and ignored Johnny, but he’s great in the movie.

One of my online friends on X got the opportunity to interview Todd Garner a few days ago.

Here is the interview:

Liu Kang went from being the “chosen one”to the useless one..

 

[CyclopsSummers]

I wish :

No a minor role for LiuKang. Its already scandalous we dont have love interest between Kitana/luiKang

Kano will have his metal face eyed. Too scandalous if he wouldnt have his thing after 2 movies

Hope Noob and QuanChi secretly work for Shinnok.

Raiden vs Kahn remake. We know Raiden beats him in earthrealm, but in Outworld he is weak. In original games, no one can beat Raiden on earth except Onaga. the deadly alliance defeated him indeed, as the 2 sorcerers were powered up by quantity of souls
About Noob vs Scorpion, fortunately the movie will give us this fight! In original games they never fought. Noob stayed in shadow in MK2 MK3 storyline, Shinnok just ordered him to spy events of earthwarriors vs outworld.
MK4 , fight against earthwarriors in Shinnok's army
MK5 (tournament édition) after Shinnok defeat, he joined Kahn's army
MK6 (Deception) he wanted to building his own army
he never seeked revenge against Scorpion all along

Crazy to think that we were way more progressive in 1995 for this series lol

gotta give paul ws anderson credit for giving robin shou the lead.

having a relatively unknown asian actor as a lead in a big american film is rare even now - back in the 90s?
probably insane.

but they still have not topped this casting. still the best liu kang we got.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Yeah Robin Shou was a great lead.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Ludi Lin could've been great had the suits trusted Liu Kang as the lead. Hell, Lewis Tan also could've been great if they'd just cast him as Johnny Cage.

I will agree that Liu Kang should have been the lead, and I think that had Johnny Cage not been our fish-out-of-water for this sequel, I think that this probably could've been Liu Kang's time to shine.

More so considering both Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn are alive, and if we're finally getting a tournament, then Liu Kang needs to best one or both of them.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Ludi Lin could've been great had the suits trusted Liu Kang as the lead. Hell, Lewis Tan also could've been great if they'd just cast him as Johnny Cage.

All of this.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Just a random thing but I watched Fight or Flight yesterday and now I’m just imagining Josh Hartnett playing an older Johnny Cage. That would have been awesome. I’m sure Urban will be fine but damn something like that could have been way better.

I don’t understand how they chose to be completely faithful to Noob’s costume, while Scorpion & Sub-Zero looked so “Meh”.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

So much of the first movie rocks, but then Cole is just there to undermined it. Especially with Liu being right there, being awesome, ready to be the main character.

New one looks like a lot of fun. Just kill Cole early and act like he never existed!

 

[Da-Scribe]

I don’t want Cole to be cut mainly because Lewis Tan can bring so much more to the table. I’ve said before, but just make him a version of Takeda and do an Anakin/Vader type character turn. Have him fight for Outworld because he blames Raiden for his family getting slaughtered or something.
