Kevin Tancharoen was the one who created and directed the episodes of Mortal Kombat Legacy Seasons 1 and 2. It was announced back in 2011 that Kevin Tancharoen had signed on to direct a new big-screen adaptation of Mortal Kombat but backed out in 2013. His movie definitely would have stuck much closer to the source material. Based on how trash the new movie was, I can see why he left if that's the direction Warnerbros wanted to go in.
@@Creativityzealot true scorpion and subzero looks like two midgets fighting each other 😂 they look funny instead of scary scorpion should be tall scary looking dude not funny looking he should be play by a tall dude
Disagree this looks corny the movie was pretty good ppl have to way to much for mortal kombat because it literally just a fight game it’s not like it had that much of a important storyline
I keep saying it and I’ll say it again THIS is the best live action depiction of the MK series Tbh. From the casting to the story. (before the movie comes out ofc we’ll see) But this just needed more consistency and a bigger audience and this could have already well been on its like 7th season
Don Mega it kinda was a one way ticket, the director made rebirth and it blew up online having wb actually give him the ok to make more. ed boon was supportive on the new take. But because wb still didn't wanna go full just yet that's why they all are shorts. Season two is the fans fault for wanting it to be like the games. They didn't let this new take continue on.
@S Wright season 2, I said season 2, season one was really nolan style, untill the Johnny cage episode. But season 2 was a drastic change. Sure rebirth braaka was a hitman blah blah but was down to earth not to supernatural. Season 1 was enjoyed everyone loved it, but season 2 really everyone had some kind of issue with it, it didn't match season 1 not the actors just how the story went. Personally I loved it . But there were issues.
This was made by Warner Bros Entertainment so they obviously had the funds, but they decided to spend half of it on this and the other half on Green Lantern. 2011 Nether Realm studios and Warner
Can we thank Kevin Tancheroen for putting in massive effort and having the characters speak Japanese? I think he did a phenomenal job looking at it years later. The story actually had depth.
After seeing this this made me more sad for scorpions death his last words were “the new Shirai Ryu are worthy it’s heart not blood that makes them warriors.” Hanzo telling his past self to let go of his rage and pick the path to redemption and not the path to vengeance and rage.
What I like about this mini-serie is that we actually get to see some bond between Hanzo and his wife/son, I mean I feel more sad when his wife and son died in this movie than in the game
This is why I appreciate the new Scorpion we got in MK11... because he is Hanzo. Meanwhile, people are mad that Scorpion doesn't sound like the one in MKX.
@MBYahooo quite ironic you call me a “kid”, yet somehow, someway, thought it was the right idea to go with the “go play fortnite” route, as if that’ll hurt me, because i do not play fortnite... rethink your life.
It kinda sucks they didn't make this into a full on series or another movie, it was really good. The Mortal Kombat series has such a great story they need to do more with it other than just comics and games. It's been forever since we had a movie is all I'm saying.
Had to revisit the old internet series ... about to rewatch the old trailer for MK legacy then watch the series.... underrated , the first short film was an internet classic
MK Legacy blows the uninspired 2021 film out of the water by such a huge margin. It really goes to show that an actual vision and love for the material will show regardless of the budget.
I like it when boomstick from the death battle scorpion was in explained basically scorpion was saying to his son sorry son you’re not allowed to be awesome😂
To each there own but how could you possibly like that ??? They totally disregarded the story made up some bullshit about there powers . No character development I can go and on about how trash it was but hey like I said to each there own bro .

yes sub zero's clan isnt killed the hanzo ' s family . Quan Chi killed. %100 in MK9 quan chi shows a thing to sub zero and scorpion and it seems sub killed him family but sub says no thats not me and scorpion kills him and sub's brother came to kill hanzo for revenge. :/

This was made by Nether Realm Studio and Warner Brothers Entertainment, the reason it’s not as good with SFX is because the Studio was working on Green Lantern the same year this came out. It’s also the reason WB didn’t have the budget to make Green Lantern as good as it’s other movies.
@@jonathandiaz3338 machinima respawn did the "MK: Rebirth" trailer, but even then they had Warner Bros backing them, MK legacy was just fully in Warner Bros control.
You all obviously, should know at least, that Bi Han did not kill the Shogun and Didn't destroy Hanzos Village. It was Quan-Chi. If you'd play MK9, then you'll know.
As the ultimate mortal Kombat fan, this is as good as it gets outside the games, Hanzo was done so well and the way everything played out was awesome.
These series are WAY BETTER than the movie. I'm so disappointed that they didn't take notes.

I'm a watch everything from the first trailer up to now except annilation lol
Lol, you damn right. It was the first thing I thought about when I saw Sub, and Scoroion fight in the trailer.
everyone

(before the movie comes out ofc we’ll see)
But this just needed more consistency and a bigger audience and this could have already well been on its like 7th season
this is still better than the actual movie lol
Are you kidding me? They butchered Bi-Han and Kuai Liang and everything that defined them. This is utterly disappointing and disrespectful
I enjoyed watching this far more than I did watching the actual movie.
The new that is.
Give a the maker of that series and Netherrealm Studios a big enough budget and complete creative control and you have a pretty cool movie
Remember an idea was proposed for a movie it was called Rebirth and it didn't go through and that's how the Legacy show was kreated

I never understand why they stop making this series bc it looks good
Am I the only one who loves this live action sub zero
This is my favorite potrayal of bi han. Tho joe did a good job in the movie
Spoilers:
That's not Bi-Han (Sub-Zero). It's really Quan-Chi
Asks son to perform song in front of them, decides to have a conversation when son starts to sing it.
Twas to distract the son from listening
This is why I appreciate the new Scorpion we got in MK11... because he is Hanzo. Meanwhile, people are mad that Scorpion doesn't sound like the one in MKX.
Exactly
He's not a spectre Now to have such deep voice now
After seeing the new MK 2021, we return back to what was also a great Sub Zero and Hanzo Hasashi fight!
This version is what the recent one SHOULD HAVE BEEN
EXACTLY
@MBYahooo yeah man. The raid is great movie

@MBYahooo quite ironic you call me a “kid”, yet somehow, someway, thought it was the right idea to go with the “go play fortnite” route, as if that’ll hurt me, because i do not play fortnite... rethink your life.
The opening was pretty good though. Very authentic to feudal era japan.

Ian Anthony Dale was the best Scorpion ever, he should be re casted as Scorpion again for the movie reboot
You could tell Scorpion and Sub-Zero not speaking was a far better idea in the original Mortal Kombat movie. Much more visceral and mysterious.
Gonna say it now; this is 100 times better than the movies opening scene.
Totally agree
Super production awesome!
Thanks Warner to take care so we'll of our mortal Kombat.
And thanks to share that s episodes free.
hola scorpion como estas
Here after the MK 2021 Movie 💯
Bihan and Hanzo were ❄️🔥👌🏽
Most perfect origin for these two. Even better scorpion!
3 seconds fight and over a minute ending credit, well done.
By far the best recorded MK ever!
That looked bad ass.I always wanted a more in depth description of exactly how what went down between SZ and Scorpion began in more detail.
Jubei: Samurai don't sing.
Kana: Is that so? *death glare at Hanzo*
Who's here after the movie trailer came out? 🙋🏻♂️
Had to revisit the old internet series ... about to rewatch the old trailer for MK legacy then watch the series.... underrated , the first short film was an internet classic
This is better than the movie
Meh I thought the movie was decent
I really like the back story and the acting in this. Great job considering the confines of their budget.
Impressed with the acting, Well done.
This 10 min video had more budget then actual mortal mortal kombat
This is better than the 2021 mortal Kombat movie
Who’s here after watching the movie cuz Sub Zero and Scorpion are badass?👀👀
Had to come back to this to see Scorpion and Subzeros real grduge backstory. The one involving Quanchi
I really was expecting the movie as a "follow-up" to this...
...instead we get Cole Young
Cole Young's stupid armor looks like the Lego Aquaman movie figure
are you dumb?
This is great, I love the way this series does Mortal Kombat. My only complaint is Scorpion’s mask looks a little weird
Who else thinks this was made better than 2021 MK movie?
MK Legacy blows the uninspired 2021 film out of the water by such a huge margin. It really goes to show that an actual vision and love for the material will show regardless of the budget.
Best scorpion ever....wait for the movie with him !!
so much better than the new movie
I loved this entire series. IF ONLY SOMEONE MADE MK INTO A FILM! though, like this, a live action anthology series would be awesome, too.
Mk was a film in 1995
Yeah, I know that.
This aged like wine
His wife was beautiful.. Scorpion is so interesting. He's been one of the GOATs since day one.
You Forget A 1000 Things A Day: Yeah. This was a new perspective. I never imagined Scorpion as a father.
Weston Richmond scorpion was always a father.
Apparently so. When I saw this video it was the first time I was aware of the fact.
scorpoin dad: son go to bed
his son: no i don't want to i'm not going to bed
scorpion: GET OVER THERE
skillet
This is way better than the mk we got this year
This series is better then all the mortal kombat movies put together!
ah, welcome. you must be coming back after the noob saibot reveal.
Ty-Ron Morrow
You look like the nigga to say that too
Ty-Ron Morrow lmao of course😂
Damn bravo!!!!!!!!!
Much better then expected, Really nice, will share with all i know, It is alot
It's nice that in MK 9 the backstory was supplied, but this is far awesome. Now I'm able to see a proper backstory with more details.
Well, sorry to disappoint you but this isn't cannon or completely accurate.
This is better than the new movie
Had to come back to this because they dropped the ball with the movie. 😫
Agreed.
Shuddup ffatso
They dropped the ball big time
After watching that terrible 2021 movie i can appreciate this series more
FOR THE SHIRAY RYU👹🌋🔥
To the death
Death before dishonor
In the name of all that is great in this world.... KEVIN I implore you to direct a full Mortal Kombat movie before I leave this world!!!!
Who’s back after watching the new Mortal Kombat movie bc it was traaasshh...
This was the best Mortal Kombat video ever made.
7:00 music sounds like theme music for the Android/cell saga of DBZ. Love it...
SparticusHun been looking for that track
@Caronte88 Mortal Kombat Legacy Soundtrack Scorpion vs Sub zero
this is better than the 2021 mk movie 🤷🏽♂️
I love how the kid has better japanese than the father
So many dorks in the comments complaining about the accent 🙄 who tf care this is awesome!
Better than the movie, exception being early fight scene
Better than 2021
I like it when boomstick from the death battle scorpion was in explained basically scorpion was saying to his son sorry son you’re not allowed to be awesome😂
Listen, I love the new movie, any live action interpretation of MK is great to see.
To each there own but how could you possibly like that ??? They totally disregarded the story made up some bullshit about there powers . No character development I can go and on about how trash it was but hey like I said to each there own bro .
My absolute favorite character on MK I know all his moves by heart.
This is better than all the entires movies that I've seen before...
the movie that never came now...the short vid looked fire
Watching all these again cause MK11 IS HYPE
it was quan chi that killed scorpions family
Yes, I saw that. I think we all did.
Yes
It was later revealed in part that Sub-Zero was Quan Chi in disguise, meaning they kept to the canon

Quan Chi killed. %100 in MK9 quan chi shows a thing to sub zero and scorpion and it seems sub killed him family but sub says no thats not me and scorpion kills him and sub's brother came to kill hanzo for revenge. :/
Lucas chief if u played MKX u would understand
in MK 9 it is quan chi who killed them.
DJBURBZ Yes
These are so good! The rest needs to be HD remastered! Some of them are in 360p
This is better than that weak as movie they jus made
I am here because MK 2021, this is a treasure
To think, Scorpion spends his days now running around Hawaii chasing down bad guys as part of Hawaii Five-0
I just saw that tonight lol
I knew I'd watched that opening somewhere years before...
From anime to this, Japanese feels so much like home.
So we all saw the trailer...I’m gonna be honest this series will be the best MK we are going to get just but it on Netflix
So you’ve watched the new movie?
this youtube series is way better than the new movie, holy shit... how does a multi minilionare company fails at what a minor youtube studio did

Or if you played MK 4
Yeah exactly
In MKX, he said to Quan Chi, "You betrayed me, Quan Chi!" Then Quan Chi said, "Your rage betrayed you." Then Scorpion said "Enough!"
cameronjr8 the story is all fucked up, Netherrealm doesnt even get it.
Bi han did kill scorpion, back in mythologies sub zero. But he didn't kill his family. You're right saying that it was Quan chi
Had to turn my brightness up because I couldn’t see a damn thing lmao, but this skit was amazing, makes me crave a Mortal Combat tv-series
The sub zero is played by kevan ohjsti. He also played as a blacklist member bull in nfs most wanted.

That's so crazy one look and I was like that's the kid from Arrow 100%
What’s Kazuya doing in this universe?
You know.. I think the Japanese dialogue is a little bit stiff but overall this short movie is good yeah.

make me remember when I was 9 years old..play mk with sega megadrive 1... miss that time..
0:20 I don't hear him saying Hanzo Hasashi.
