Let me put this into perspective for you. Mortal Kombat is one of the biggest games ever when this movie came out. If you're watching the movie, you've played the game. You've heard of the secret fighter called Reptile who is hard as balls to unlock, and even harder to beat. This fight had ZERO media presence in the build-up to the movie's release. And then you hear the word "Reptile" in the announcer's voice and the green ninja stands up and your fucking brain explodes at how sick this is.
arcengal Oh yeah and unless you knew the trick, it was hard to fight Reptile with Liu Kang because all the guides said you had to hold block to do his fatality, which was a requirement. So, added novelty.
Oh I get it. I was in theaters on day one watching this. Then I went across the street to the arcade and kicked everyone's ass in MK2 (my personal favorite)
so, are you saying having not seen it is a good thing so that I could enjoy watching it for the first time? or is it so bad that it's better not to watch it at all, and that's why I'm lucky? I didn't get it :P
That not suprising he kept fliming its in there DNA the hong kong guys Jackie did it for years injuries he keeps fliming when he did rumble in the Bronx he jumped from the boat to the bridge he broke his ankle the next day he kept fliming he put a fake shoe on over his cast his foot crazy. Michelle yeoh when she did crouching tiger hidden dragon she hurt her knee doing a fight scence she had surgrey the next day she kept fliming incrediable. Donnie yen did it too in once upon a time in china when he fought jet li je hit him in the face with the stick for real his face was swollen and brusied they put makeup on him he kept fliming. Jet li has done it too so has Tony Jaa its the martial arts training that's in them. HW actors cant do that they use stunt doubles and they shut down production until the actor is healed
From what I've read this whole scene, as well as the Netherealm showdown scene between Cage and Scorpion where added post production after negative test screenings. But more importantly they were choreographed by Robin Shou (Liu Kang). Being they are by far the best fight sequences of the film I think its safe to say Robin was a MVP of the production.
I like how sub zero and scorpion strike a pose and begin fighting their opponents tournament style and yet Reptile is just like fuck you drop kick through the wall before liu can even react
Hugh Egg yes but I have to assume Josh is talking about reptile in the video games. Back when this movie was made you still played reptile as a ninja in the game. The last Mk I played (couple of years ago) he was a ridiculous looking "giant freakin lizard".
Hugh Egg in the first 3 MK games on Arcade and Sega and Super Nes, he was a Ninja, but when the MK got rebooted with deadly Alliance and Deception, Developers made him into a actual creature, and yes ur right he did, Somehow I can't remember he got fused with a dragon Egg, which is when he turned into, the Dragon King, which is the main boss in Deception. I Have to get the 3 PS2 MK's Right Now So Many Memories.
This fight always bugged me. Kang got drop kicked through a brick wall (eating a bunch of bricks on landing) and generally got the shite knocked out of him for most of the fight. One throw and Reptile was groggy and ready to keel over. I wish the energy bars were present there :P
Noobsaibot21 That is true, but considering they tried to make it reflect the first game where Reptile is an extremely fast glass cannon I think it works out.
1.What the fuck was Johnny Cage doing the whole time??? Lol 2. Liu Kang got his ass kicked 3.Reptiles name intro was epic as fuck!!! 4 That bicycle kick was the best part
+Jordan Chatman I'll tell you where Johnny Cage was. He saw Reptile kick his nigga Liu Kang through a wall and JC noped the fuck out of there. He didn't want any part of that ass whooping.
Reptile was, and still is, my all time favorite character in mortal kombat. He was complete badass in the movie, and I think this is the first time I ever actually was rooting for the bad guy in any movie I've seen.
@@zeroarashiuchiha7699 You can get a flawless victory each round as long as you don't take damage in that round. In the round 3 timestamp, when Liu "won the match," Reptile hit him zero times, meaning he would get the Flawless+Fatality final screen.
Kids today might not believe it but this movie was HUGE back in the day. If I had to compare it to a movie today its like the Avengers, or Batman or some shit. It was huge. I even remember everyone even bought the soundtrack on cassette because even the soundtrack was huge.
man it was like THE hottest game in town at that time is getting a movie and you've been seeing it on tv as well with the animated ones. all the hype surrounds you. kids today barely even read Avengers comics.
If you think about it, this is the most faithful to the original game moment in the movie - reptile comes out of nowhere, is a palette swap of scorpion/sub-zero, has no original moves of his own, and is super op - everything is exactly like it was in mk1!
It's that moment when he gets a body of his own and decides to kick some vicinity ass. Plus, I jizzed a little when I heard the MK-2 "Reptile" name drop.
I mean if a fucking lizard creature gets absorbed into a statue and some voice comes out of nowhere and says its name and then that asshole front flips and kicks me in the chest and I bust through a wall......ill just play dead. I'll give him that fight.
That's all Liu Kang needed to do, you could see Reptile looking for him at the port of entrance to the building, it's when he saw Kang moved he went inside the building..lol
This is my favorite fight to watch cause I just love that they say "Reptile" at the beginning, like in the game. They should have done that with more of the characters.
Michaela that was cool but doing that too much could also ruin an otherwise great movie. Too bad the second wasn't as good. Great action but introducing too many chars. Then killing them off poor storyline. And too many pointless flips.
The funny thing is that its the voice of Shao Kahn from the 2nd game, so that kind of shows us that they were not thinking at all when they made this. XD
The most badass scene ever. Music builds up, hype builds up, MK announcer announces Reptile, Reptile gets up, gives no fuck, kicks Liu Kang through a wall, shows no mercy and goes after Liu Kang and fights to death. Very true to the game when discovering Reptile.
When i was 6 Years old i already played Mortal Kombat 1, now im 27 and still Mortal Kombat Fan, this is not just a Game or a Movie, this is my Life !!! :)
Michael Schlosser Same thing here. I can still remember the controversy in my country. It actually drove every kid, even some girls to the Arcade lol. Good days. The best days.
Guilherme Braga I remember how back in 1993, I had to sneak into the Arcade to play Mortal Kombat. You had to be 16 years old to enter and I was too young. The next year, when I turned 16, they changed the age to 18! So I still had to sneak in XD. I also remember how the Chinese guys would beat everybody, all the time. They could beat the game with just one coin... I'm almost 37 now and I'm amazed at the progress video games made in 20 years. Makes me wonder how the video games will look in 2035.
Troublesome2008 When you have to sneak in, it is even better when you're a kid. I gave myself a PS4 and I played MKX. Made me think the same thing about how things are improving so much, I just wish my kid self could see me playing this.
Yup lol tell me about it. I'm from the island and we had a small theatre back then. About 60-70 people max lol. Damn this was lit as fuck same thing with the annihilation. We lined up for movies like this. Golden age in the 90s
Reptile was faster and had a better style, but he ran out of juice burning his energy way too fast with his entry rush and had no juice left to see the fight through. Liu Kang had better cardio and endurance and managed to pull out a win by surviving the onslaught.
The only reason he was humanoid in the old games from MK1-MK3 was because he was a palette swap of Scorpion not to mention they used digitalized actors back then. From MK4 and so on that all changed and changed him how he is suppose to be. This is what makes Reptile unique and not look like a regular ninja. Same how Ermac is not the same how he used be back in MK3 games.
I remember being in the theaters opening weekend when I was 13 to see this with my friends, and even though i enjoyed the movie as a whole, I was disappointed that Reptile was a CGI lizard. But entering the 3rd act of the film, it had the easter egg feel that Reptile in the original game had. Never forget when I heard the classic voice say "REPTILE", the epic techno music came on, and he kicked Liu through a friggin wall, my friends and I all lost our shit! LOVED the way Liu shrieked from the initial kick. It was brutal Also, 1:21 to 1:23 was another moment of losing our shit. Reptile's hand movements mimicked that of his stance in the game Mortal Kombat II. After having a bunch of pretty damn good fight scenes, it was nice to have the best fight scene happen at this point in the movie. Such a classic. And looking back now in 2016 at the history of video game movie adaptations, I still think this movie is the standard (cause man theres been some horrible movies)
As a young boy in early 2000 I played Mortal Kombat Gold and played as Reptile. My favorite character! In the game I remember fighting Liu Kang in a level. When I bought this movie and saw this fight - as a young kid I remember going "whoa!" The music, announcer, everything that just made the experience amazing especially playing the game first.
I still say this is the best Video Game movie ever made. I know it's an unwritten law that all video game movies must suck, but this one is not only faithful to the game it's based on, it has great sets, the actors give good performances, and the fights are really well done. Sadly, the sequel is probably the worst video game movie ever made.
i'd say its the best videogame movie BECAUSE its not too faithful of the game! it skipped violence completely, which is the main selling point of the games. it would have been ridiculous and like a comic if they had incorporated that. yet it manages to catch the vibe of the game. i love this movie so much!
The only downside to the original MK movie was the fight between Sonya & Kano. XD other than that i agree it IS the best videogame adaption ever made, well...that or maybe even Silent Hill. I also like the 'first' resident evil, even though it's hardly faithful.
Does anyone else get hyped as fuck when they watch this fight?!! As I kid me and my big brother would watch this fight over and over again and memorise this fight and play it out in the living room! Hahaha!
Reason why I love this fight because it was very aggressive , fast and for Liu Kang was struggling ! They should have made all the fights just as aggressive and fast .
You know, it's funny. By Hong Kong action standards this scene's fight choreography isn't anything special, but with the camera movement, lighting, and music picking up that slack this still stands as one of my favorite fight scenes ever.
never more people no him by mk then liu kang why is he on the cover of the game and not liu ask any body when you hear "get over here" what do they think of first
At some point the movie was made (Johnny vs scorpion and Liu Lang vs reptile fight scenes were not in the film yet) they shown the movie to some people and they said "not much fight scenes in the movie" sadly the fight choreograph left at that point... So Robin (Liu kang) supervised and choreograph those 2 fights and actually are the best of the film. PS: sorry for my English
Do Y'all remember in 1993 when the arcade game came out, you could never find an open MK machine? You would always have to wait for someone to get off the machine, it would never be unoccupied.
This was the best match-up in the entire movie... And came as a surprise... And I love how Reptile ain't even a poser; man's came out swinging full front-flip drop kick through wall, ain't even waited came in chest-face kick... It was ON SIGHT...
I remember when I first saw this in theaters thinking that I will never see a better intro to a fight.... And yeah, I haven't. A mutant lizard -accidentally- turns into a badass ninja (and has an omni-announcer say his name) who then shinobi-drop-kicks a guy through a brick wall with lightning going off in the background to accent every moment then and onward. It still sends chills up my spine.
I know the new Mortal Kombat will be good, but it'll never beat the first 10 seconds of this. "REPTILE" **Liu Kang kicked through a brick wall** lol.. sit down son.
Liu Kang was the best fighter in the film..... Until REPTILE came and change EVERYTHING for 3 minutes.... He was so badass.. Liu Kang actually accidentaly won from 1:53 Reptile's false move.
Agreed, as a human he had that mystery on him, who is this ninja, is he human, is he in a disguise, where is he from? Now he's just a lizard man like other generic creatures in many movies and games.
Toad Nose They could have developed him into a human with reptile qualities such as scales on his skin or slit eyes. Sort of like what they did with Sub-Zero (getting icy arms) and Scorpion. Both having unique outfits.
Yeah. Your not alone. Reptile was cool when they kept his identity and reptile appearance hidden. I think that was the special aspect of him. Then when he show his reptilian face to do the fatality it was awesome and special.
Nope, pretty sure all Reptile fans thought he should've won. At least he got the best fight in the entire film, even better than the final fight in terms of raw action and technique
This still remains as my all time favourite Mortal Kombat scene to this day. I mean, how good was the music when reptile ran towards Liu Kang to kick his ass 😁👍
I don't care about what anyone says about MK movie . Choreography is better than pretty much any new movie today ,amazing techno music especially for the period and tons of memorable fights . Classic
Fuck, this was so sick in the theaters in 1995. As soon was that “Reptile” was uttered, shit hit a whole new level. Everyone in my theatre went nuts during this scene
Gungriffen Johnny Cage is an actor; he understands that there wouldn't be as much dramatic tension if the good guys teamed up on a bad guy, even if he was OP.
The announcer saying "Reptile" as he jumps up and the music starts playing is still one of the most lit moments in movie history.
THIS
💪💪💪💪💪💪💯💯💯💯💯💯 use to get so hype when I was younger when life was simple😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯💯💯💯
Lit ha haa
It's really cool because it's the announcer from MK2 (Shao Kahn).
my man reptile. straight rushes him. no waiting. Raw.
When I saw MK for the first time, the ENTIRE THEATER went nuts when MK announcer (or Shao Khan) said REPTILE.
Yep same here. Good memories.
it was dope!
You're watching a movie based on an arcade game that took the world by storm...it's kind of expected.
To you, it was one of the worst street fighter movies ever made. But to me, it was just Tuesday.
It is this kind of comments that will make you die alone.
Let me put this into perspective for you.
Mortal Kombat is one of the biggest games ever when this movie came out. If you're watching the movie, you've played the game. You've heard of the secret fighter called Reptile who is hard as balls to unlock, and even harder to beat.
This fight had ZERO media presence in the build-up to the movie's release.

arcengal Oh yeah and unless you knew the trick, it was hard to fight Reptile with Liu Kang because all the guides said you had to hold block to do his fatality, which was a requirement. So, added novelty.
Same reaction as seeing the red skull in end game
And fittingly, it's Liu Kang's hardest fight in the movie. Not even Shang Tsung gave him this much of a fight.
Oh I get it. I was in theaters on day one watching this. Then I went across the street to the arcade and kicked everyone's ass in MK2 (my personal favorite)
Literally impossible to replicate today
Twenty years later and that "Reptile" still gives me chills and this is still an awesome fight scene.
We are one month away from 2024...and it STILL gives me chills
Fun Fact:
The Actor who played Reptile(Keith Cooke) is the same who played Sub-Zero in the Sequel.
+Sahin Düzgün Thanks Cap
Oh really I didn't knew that
+Sahin Düzgün i didn't even know that there was a sequel, lol.
+Stanley Bartels yeah seeing the sequel put things in perspective. made me long for the time when I never saw the sequel
so, are you saying having not seen it is a good thing so that I could enjoy watching it for the first time? or is it so bad that it's better not to watch it at all, and that's why I'm lucky? I didn't get it :P
The actor who plays Liu Kang actually got his ribs broken from the first kick and proceeded to film the entire scene. Badass
Yeah I read that he was sucking down advil like crazy to keep going.
Really? Damn! Robin Shou (the actor) is friggin awesome!
That not suprising he kept fliming its in there DNA the hong kong guys Jackie did it for years injuries he keeps fliming when he did rumble in the Bronx he jumped from the boat to the bridge he broke his ankle the next day he kept fliming he put a fake shoe on over his cast his foot crazy. Michelle yeoh when she did crouching tiger hidden dragon she hurt her knee doing a fight scence she had surgrey the next day she kept fliming incrediable. Donnie yen did it too in once upon a time in china when he fought jet li je hit him in the face with the stick for real his face was swollen and brusied they put makeup on him he kept fliming. Jet li has done it too so has Tony Jaa its the martial arts training that's in them. HW actors cant do that they use stunt doubles and they shut down production until the actor is healed
I heard it was actually from being thrown into the pillar at 0:35
From what I've read this whole scene, as well as the Netherealm showdown scene between Cage and Scorpion where added post production after negative test screenings. But more importantly they were choreographed by Robin Shou (Liu Kang). Being they are by far the best fight sequences of the film I think its safe to say Robin was a MVP of the production.
Announcer: "REPTILE!"
Liu Kang: "But I don't see a liz... oh shit!"
shintaiden Shao Khan, not announcer
It said Shao Kahn
I like how sub zero and scorpion strike a pose and begin fighting their opponents tournament style and yet Reptile is just like fuck you drop kick through the wall before liu can even react
reptile wasn't apart of the tournament, just a spy/assassin. :)
front flip dropkick thru a fucking wall :D
Through a fucking BRICK WALL
HossMosh lol yup
he is an ancient warrior with another fighter style ( forgot name )
Back in the good old days when Reptile was a ninja; not A GIANT FREAKIN' LIZARD.
but he was a giant freaking lizard in this... he fused with a statue to make a human form.
Hugh Egg yes but I have to assume Josh is talking about reptile in the video games. Back when this movie was made you still played reptile as a ninja in the game. The last Mk I played (couple of years ago) he was a ridiculous looking "giant freakin lizard".

Yeah what the hell are you talking about dude? In MK2 he would take off his human face and reveal his true, reptilian one.
DeathBringer9216 still a ninja for the most part. I wasn't playing as Lizard-Man from Soul Calibur lamo.
At 1:22 are we not gonna talk about Reptile taking a kick to the face and using the momentum to kick him right the fuck back?
Reptile ultimately lost but Kang had his ass handed to him here.
This fight always bugged me. Kang got drop kicked through a brick wall (eating a bunch of bricks on landing) and generally got the shite knocked out of him for most of the fight. One throw and Reptile was groggy and ready to keel over. I wish the energy bars were present there :P
who know, maybe there was 3 rounds in this fight, the life bar resets after a round
Loved Reptiles aggressive style in this.
dude didn't you see that Liu Kang activated Pro Action Replays Codes while he was flying through the wall? No wonder he had unlimited Life.
Noobsaibot21 That is true, but considering they tried to make it reflect the first game where Reptile is an extremely fast glass cannon I think it works out.
1.What the fuck was Johnny Cage doing the whole time??? Lol
2. Liu Kang got his ass kicked
3.Reptiles name intro was epic as fuck!!!
4 That bicycle kick was the best part
Right he beat
His ass tha hole fight Smfh

Lol

+Jordan Chatman I'll tell you where Johnny Cage was. He saw Reptile kick his nigga Liu Kang through a wall and JC noped the fuck out of there. He didn't want any part of that ass whooping.
That's what I do when I wake up. I say "Reptile" jump out of bed and start my day.

Still have that cassette. That soundtrack introduced so many 90s kids to some if the best artists out there.
I listen to the soundtrack to this movie and Annihilation fairly frequently. Great music.
If you think about it, this is the most faithful to the original game moment in the movie - reptile comes out of nowhere, is a palette swap of scorpion/sub-zero, has no original moves of his own, and is super op - everything is exactly like it was in mk1!
what do you mean no original moves? he could camouflage and spit acid earlier in the movie
But not as a ninja
It's that moment when he gets a body of his own and decides to kick some vicinity ass. Plus, I jizzed a little when I heard the MK-2 "Reptile" name drop.
Well not everything. Liu couldn't perform the bicycle kick until MK2 but it was still cool to see in the movie!
The first MK, yes. But in MKII he was a ninja and could camouflage, spit acid and had a projectile
I mean if a fucking lizard creature gets absorbed into a statue and some voice comes out of nowhere and says its name and then that asshole front flips and kicks me in the chest and I bust through a wall......ill just play dead. I'll give him that fight.

Vandal Savage I second this v.v
That's all Liu Kang needed to do, you could see Reptile looking for him at the port of entrance to the building, it's when he saw Kang moved he went inside the building..lol
How bad ass was his intro ?
mr_itryhard I love the announcement of his name "Reptile" followed by a somersault into a GTFO kick. What a way to say "Welcome" as Scorpion did.
Exactly just fucken epic
+mr_itryhard Reptile woke up in the morning ready to fuck shit up
*You have found me!! Now prove yourself!!!*

The funny thing is that its the voice of Shao Kahn from the 2nd game, so that kind of shows us that they were not thinking at all when they made this. XD
I was a huge mk fan back in the day, when the "reptile" announcement happened, me and my buddys went nuts! Best part of the film for sure.
Matt Ferro lol yea but Reptile was an ACTUAL playable character in mk2 but was hard as shit in mk1....
Bruh that first kick would've killed most people.
But he is THE CHOSEN ONE. He can take anything.
zack19192 he broke his rib when reptile chucked him into the stone pillar
That kick was savage.
zack19192 it's Mk what u expect lol

The most badass scene ever. Music builds up, hype builds up, MK announcer announces Reptile, Reptile gets up, gives no fuck, kicks Liu Kang through a wall, shows no mercy and goes after Liu Kang and fights to death. Very true to the game when discovering Reptile.
You forgot the bicycle kick
Reptile had an awesome fighting style. Dude is doing missile dropkicks, a Muai Thai plum, TKD kicks, Superman punches, and Aikido throws. Good shit.
When i was 6 Years old i already played Mortal Kombat 1, now im 27 and still Mortal Kombat Fan, this is not just a Game or a Movie, this is my Life !!! :)

Yup lol tell me about it. I'm from the island and we had a small theatre back then. About 60-70 people max lol. Damn this was lit as fuck same thing with the annihilation. We lined up for movies like this. Golden age in the 90s
+warren way Unbelievable and timeless movie. There will never be another like it again sadly.
Arun R. There's a confirmed Reboot on the way! So we'll defenitly get another!
House of dead bro
That damn Gucci You know, the convention is that movies based on a video game are terrible, but this masterpiece is the exception to that convention.
You know shit just got real when the announcer says "reptile" best fight scene in the movie!!
The announcer is actually Shao Kahn
TheShadow Man actually the voice is this Steve Rich
Yes, Steve Ritchie was the voice of Shao Kahn in MK2 MK3, trilogy
TheShadow Man Ritchie yes, i'm sorry wrong wrote his name ;)
No problem
man at 1:15 reptile looks and sounds dope! The hiss and movement of his hands are sick!
Hell yea
The snake pos.
Yahiko SH lol I find it very appropriate that Reptile would be fighting with a snake style.
Yahiko SH yeah I loved that !
That was his stance from MKII.
Nice easter egg.
Liu Kang gets dropped twice before he even realises he's in a fight lol
dude, fuckin blindsided
I know right 😂 😂
That heavy angry breathing coming from reptiles mask around 0:45 is priceless... Perfect way to express anger on that scene ... Cudos Director !
Reptile was faster and had a better style, but he ran out of juice burning his energy way too fast with his entry rush and had no juice left to see the fight through. Liu Kang had better cardio and endurance and managed to pull out a win by surviving the onslaught.
***** This is possibly the best way to explain the fight. Well said.
***** And it's still the best fight in the entire fucking movie, xD
Sinspiration Word. The scene with reptile awakening "Reptile", then kicking Lui Kang through the wall was priceless. Beast mode.
AntiochEthereal "In real life" ... Uhm...?
***** Or, it's the power of main character immunity. p:
This is what Reptile is supposed to look like in the games in my opinion not like an actual fucking Reptile!!
JohnnyCage316 that is what he looked like. reptile's real form is a reptile.
Actually, he always been a reptile he was never a human.
Yes i no he reptilian under the outfit but id like to see this look in the games wearin ninja suit and mask!!
The only reason he was humanoid in the old games from MK1-MK3 was because he was a palette swap of Scorpion not to mention they used digitalized actors back then. From MK4 and so on that all changed and changed him how he is suppose to be. This is what makes Reptile unique and not look like a regular ninja. Same how Ermac is not the same how he used be back in MK3 games.

From what I have seen of it, Yes, Yes it is.
the Sequel is still accurate. everything else was shit though.
(except for the Cyrax battle)
Street Fighter with Van Damme was the WORST video game movie ever made.
i'd say its the best videogame movie BECAUSE its not too faithful of the game! it skipped violence completely, which is the main selling point of the games. it would have been ridiculous and like a comic if they had incorporated that. yet it manages to catch the vibe of the game. i love this movie so much!
The only downside to the original MK movie was the fight between Sonya & Kano. XD other than that i agree it IS the best videogame adaption ever made, well...that or maybe even Silent Hill. I also like the 'first' resident evil, even though it's hardly faithful.
That first kick and then those bricks that hit liu kang's face 😂😂😂
i never noticed the bricks hitting his face until now 😂
without being biased, after watching the new MK movie, this is BY FAR the best version of reptile!
If the voice over announced Reptile's name the least he coulda done was yell "Finish Him" before Liu Kang smashed him into the ground....Fatality
Barry Allen he left that part for the audience to say
2015 and this scene still give me chills :D
you are not alone my friend
a true my friend
James Francis yeah nigga
József Baktai This is my friend's favorite part!
2023 and I feel the same way
Does anyone else get hyped as fuck when they watch this fight?!! As I kid me and my big brother would watch this fight over and over again and memorise this fight and play it out in the living room! Hahaha!
I do! and I'm a 35 year old woman lol. I loved this scene and me and my little sister would keep rewinding Reptile's intro.😂
Hell yes! I did the same thing with my brother in my living room too! 😂 I'm so happy we weren't the only ones.
Reason why I love this fight because it was very aggressive , fast and for Liu Kang was struggling ! They should have made all the fights just as aggressive and fast .
Damn! Reptile came to life, didn’t monologue, didn’t ask any questions... just went straight to business.
0:19 best stylish jump ever
that is how I enter the club
The "Oh shit" look on Liu is priceless
LOL

You know, it's funny. By Hong Kong action standards this scene's fight choreography isn't anything special, but with the camera movement, lighting, and music picking up that slack this still stands as one of my favorite fight scenes ever.
Walking into the club and when the bouncer asks me for ID -----> 0:16
W
LOL

Dropkicking the bartender like "Bitch, if i cant have drinks, noone can!"
I like that that's a good one LMBO lol then 0:19 you up in there lol
wont lie, when i first saw this as a kid and i heard the soundbyte of Shao Kahn sayin "Reptile" i just about lost my shit
Best fight of the movie
hell no scorpion vs johnny cage that was a back in forth type of fight
5616steph I agree.
Meh, Scorpion's overrated.
never more people no him by mk then liu kang why is he on the cover of the game and not liu ask any body when you hear "get over here" what do they think of first
you trippin maybe not the 2nd one but the first MK movie was good as shit it was just like the game
Johnny Cage out there DJ’ing the music for the fight.
Probably the best original theme for a character in any movie ever... Love how the announcer says "Reptile"
Robin Shou, (Liu Kang) actually broke some his ribs in this fight.
And the actor playing Johhny Cage got a bruised kidney during the Scorpion fight.
At some point the movie was made (Johnny vs scorpion and Liu Lang vs reptile fight scenes were not in the film yet) they shown the movie to some people and they said "not much fight scenes in the movie" sadly the fight choreograph left at that point...
So Robin (Liu kang) supervised and choreograph those 2 fights and actually are the best of the film.
PS: sorry for my English
Liu Kang: "Arghhh, ahhhh!! Hyahhhh!! Arghhh!!!" MAN, he's NOISY!!
goku style
Still my favourite fight out of the movie! Perfect setting and backdrop along with the beat. Classic! Still gives me chills!
Do Y'all remember in 1993 when the arcade game came out, you could never find an open MK machine? You would always have to wait for someone to get off the machine, it would never be unoccupied.
This was the best match-up in the entire movie... And came as a surprise... And I love how Reptile ain't even a poser; man's came out swinging full front-flip drop kick through wall, ain't even waited came in chest-face kick... It was ON SIGHT...
I remember when I first saw this in theaters thinking that I will never see a better intro to a fight.... And yeah, I haven't.
A mutant lizard -accidentally- turns into a badass ninja (and has an omni-announcer say his name) who then shinobi-drop-kicks a guy through a brick wall with lightning going off in the background to accent every moment then and onward.
It still sends chills up my spine.
Still get hyped seeing this fight-i just the grunts and screams of liu always sold this battle for me
and reptiles hisses
Leavin' the club like 2:46
Lol what the heck? XD
Seriously logged in just to like this comment and respond hahaha
And entering the the club like 0:06
Bahahaha dope shit
Best fight scene in this movie. Love how Johnny Cage just chilled outside like “Nah, it’ll be fine.”
I think the badass music is what made this scene so popular
GAMER_4999 It was that combined with Reptile appearing out of nowhere and beating the ever-living shit out of Liu.
+GAMER_4999 Not to mention the popularity of the main theme
If I remember correct, the track was made by Traci Lords, ex porn star.
It's the fight and choreography
This is my favorite MK soundtrack btw..
It’s amazing this fight is better than most or all in the new movie.
"You have found me!"
NOW PROVE YOUR WORTH!!!
Thanks for the help Johnny Cage!
+Bre Fujimoto Right? That never made sense to me. Why didn't he help?
+Bre Fujimoto I've been wondering that since this movie first came out.He just disappeared and reappeared after the fight was over lol
He was a strong believer of fair fight.
he was a strong believer that Reptile would have kicked his ass.
hi
The fight scenes between Johnny vs Scorpion and Liu Kang vs Reptile were the most entertaining out of the whole movie
Liu Kang did more fucking screaming than fighting in this segment.
Music is hype as fuck, even now I get pumped when I watch this. Best videogame movie ever.
Lui Kang must have infinite HP.. because when it comes to hits Reptile kicked his ass.
0:19 I entered the disco club like this
hahahaha
And I left like that 0:05
:DDD
Hahahahaha best entry and best leaving ever
Copying my comment much?? Nice.
I know the new Mortal Kombat will be good, but it'll never beat the first 10 seconds of this. "REPTILE" **Liu Kang kicked through a brick wall** lol.. sit down son.
WOW, Reptile fought awesome!
yep he did
This is one the best martial arts fight scenes I've seen from Hollywood.
man those kick liu kang did was amazing ...he kicked him right in his chest
Best damn intro to a fight ever! "Reptile", somersault kick Liu Kang through a brick wall. Just amazing!
Johnny Cage be like "Nope! I fought a monster and got sucked inside of a tree. It's your turn.''
best fight of the whole movie.
Liu Kang was the best fighter in the film..... Until REPTILE came and change EVERYTHING for 3 minutes.... He was so badass.. Liu Kang actually accidentaly won from 1:53 Reptile's false move.
Am I the only one who liked the human Reptile better?
Seems like after he became a full reptile, he was fodder.
Agreed, as a human he had that mystery on him, who is this ninja, is he human, is he in a disguise, where is he from?
Now he's just a lizard man like other generic creatures in many movies and games.
Yeah! I prefer when he was a pallet swap!
Toad Nose
They could have developed him into a human with reptile qualities such as scales on his skin or slit eyes. Sort of like what they did with Sub-Zero (getting icy arms) and Scorpion. Both having unique outfits.
Yeah. Your not alone. Reptile was cool when they kept his identity and reptile appearance hidden. I think that was the special aspect of him. Then when he show his reptilian face to do the fatality it was awesome and special.
Such a good fight. No special effects or weapons, just straight hand-to-hand combat. Reptile beat that ass.
Keith Cooke "Reptile" should have reprise his role on Mortal Kombat Conquest, he was and still is the very best Reptile... Ever... Period.
Yea right the dude in conquest was a much better martial artist
MDCKilla
If YOU BELIEVE THAT, MAGIC BEANS PLEASE?!
That was him in conquest
The_Lonely_Winner No, it wasn't. That was Jon Valera.
SlasherIncorporated Ill have to double check
The best fight out of the two movies IMO. Great song to go along with it too.
My dad took us to see this when I was 8, when he said reptile I went ape shit
0:09 Lui Kang gets a faceful of bricks upon landing. I'm surprised it didn't knock him out or even leave a scratch. XD
That Bicycle Kick tho LOL
Best FIGHT in both MOVIES combined
Am i the only one that wanted reptile to win
Nope, pretty sure all Reptile fans thought he should've won. At least he got the best fight in the entire film, even better than the final fight in terms of raw action and technique
Cris P. Bacon agreed bro, this is easily the best fight/scene in the whole movie
Machismo Reacts scorpion vs Johnny cage best fight
HES MY MAIN...
REPTILE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..............
he's may fav and only reason he lost is because of Liu Kang's Asian kicked in 1:52 LOL
I'm a young buck, so the ones who saw this in theater tell me: Did the audience go nuts when Liu Kang did the Bicycle Kick?
MrLinkDeity the whole fight was epic think is the best fight in any MK movie
Bro when I seen this with my dad and cousin and uncle we all flipped out when He did the bicycle kick
2:02 Liu remembers he's the protagonist, thus he can't lose.
reptile - a driver the entire first part of the film . The coolest fight and excellent musical accompaniment.
all that screaming, Lui Kang would have made a great real life Goku
too true
Hell yeah man!!!!
did u notice how much he kept powering up. poor reptile lol
Yes he to old now to be goku but its has been confirmed an real dragon ball z movie will come out in 2018 or 2019
MAJIN GHIDORAH We already got one. Still going through therapy after this.
Awesome Soundtrack!
They should make a new MK movie! :)
they are
look up Mortal Kombat Legacy.
You mean that web series that was great until they gave Sub Zero a Paintball Outfit and made Liu Kang a "Jin Kazama Emo Kid?"
Fuck no they shouldn't. If they did Michael Bay would fuck it up as much as he could like he does with every other movie he makes.
Maser209 Well they are making a new MK movie suppose to be out in 2015 i heard and its not michael bay doing it its Kevin Tancharoen directing.
The music sound like something from Street Fighter Alpha 3. GET READY FIGHTERS, TRIUMPH OR DIE!!
This still remains as my all time favourite Mortal Kombat scene to this day. I mean, how good was the music when reptile ran towards Liu Kang to kick his ass 😁👍
Agreed!
I don't care about what anyone says about MK movie . Choreography is better than pretty much any new movie today ,amazing techno music especially for the period and tons of memorable fights . Classic
Absolutely. Love the fight choreography, and the soundtrack is so dope.
Fuck, this was so sick in the theaters in 1995. As soon was that “Reptile” was uttered, shit hit a whole new level. Everyone in my theatre went nuts during this scene
Ever wondered what the fuck Johnny cage was doing during this? This would have been a great 2v1 fight with reptile being OP.
This fight scene was added post-production and Cage's actor wasn't on set.
NOW I GOT AN ANSWER! lol
Gungriffen Johnny Cage is an actor; he understands that there wouldn't be as much dramatic tension if the good guys teamed up on a bad guy, even if he was OP.
Gungriffen he was DJing that soundtrack !
Abdullah Mumin
LOL 😂😂😂
That kick in the beginning, 0.05, is the most badass kick I have ever seen or will ever see. Anyway, great fight scene.
