Mortal Kombat

[Ace of Knaves]

Did they use it in the games after that as well? Or am i just going mad?

Edit: Well that answers that!

 

[DorkyFresh]

imo, techno/house music is the best music for martial arts films...





...just look at the Matrix!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

haha indeed. Or jungle/drum n bass.

They should have made a movie based game and used the Soundtrack. A terrible game with life actors was made based on the 94 Street Fighter Movie. Midway should've shown them how it's done right and should've made a Movie based game as well.

I think they only used the classic Mortal Kombat scream for Shaolin Monks. But that's sadly it.

I remember going see MK the first day it came out, I almost **** myself when the screen turned black and you heard the dude yell "MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

ahhh......good times.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i also remember hearing about how this would be one of the few Hollywood movies with an Asian as the protagonist and an Asian as an antagonist. the only other Hollywood movie i can think of with this formula was Enter the Dragon.

And whats even crazier is that nobody *****ed about the fact they never heard of Robin Shou, he portrayed Liu Kang, did a damn good job. Nowadays, I wouldn't be suprised if they casted a caucasian to portray him, hell look at Goku

 

[Nathan]

MK was also one of the few movies where I thought that everyone casted was spot on. Well, maybe besides Sonya. I really didn't buy the actress as an ass kicker. Anyway, one of my personal favorites was Linden Ashby. I thought he was an awesome Johnny Cage.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Ashby NAILED Johnny Cage and i never liked Johnny Cage.

haha, true dat!

 

[Alchemyst]

Ashby was the **** as Johnny Cage

*those were $500.00 sunglasses ******** ROFL BADASS

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea Johnny was da maaan!!!

Why the **** did they kill him off though!!!

 

[Alchemyst]

Yea Johnny was da maaan!!!

Why the **** did they kill him off though!!!

because they needed to make room for 32 other characters to be featured in the film

 

[Ace of Knaves]

lolz

 

[Alchemyst]

lol @ the part where Liu Kang kicked Baraka off the cage, but somehow it showed Rain falling in the pit below.

Today they would've cast Chad Michael Murray and dyed his hair black. I am actually afraid of the day they choose to make the SF movie telling Ryu and Ken's story. Ken will be easy to cast but Ryu....

 

[Terminator]

I remember seeing fan casting for Ryu that had a bunch of names, only one of which was actually Japanese.

I don't know if they'd even bother to do that. Bison in the Chun Li movie is blonde.

I always envisioned Bison as the type of dude that would blatantly talk **** to you in your face, because he knows you cant kick his ass. I remember in the anime, he talked down on Sagat getting beaten by Ryu while Sagat was standing next to him.

 

[PyroChamber]

I like how they handed Reptile sorta like it was in the first game. He would only show up every now and then, and then once you, and Liu Kang, figured out how to find him you'd have to end up fighting him.

lol @ the part where Liu Kang kicked Baraka off the cage, but somehow it showed Rain falling in the pit below.

they probaby used a shot of rain falling in to save money remembber shou-kahn DID knock him into a pit earlier but didn't show him falling bown ito it

Well, the Goku ethnicity issue is debatable. However, there is some truth there about racial recasting in Hollywood. Anyone else remember the concept art from the proposed live action Evangelion movie? If I remember right, they had made Shinji and Rei Caucasians.

They never released concept art of Shinji. However, Rei clearly looked asian in the concept art they put out.

ahhh the greatest thing on the first MK was Kano .. holy **** trevor goddard made him great..

*pulls out a ****ing huge knife*
Kano: now look at this.. This little baby right here brings back memorys doesnt it

Kano: Naww.. it put a big smile on your partner though.. from ear*slides the knife under his jaw* to ear
