    To give the movie credit, at least it portrays the Shao Khan fight accurately. You getting trapped in a corner and him annihilating you before you can retaliate

      Not to mention the fighting is subpar and basic, having a minimum of three punches and two kicks each. AND THEY ARE FAT WASTES OF TIME!!

      @DiscoTimelordASD 6 років тому +8

      Poever Normally actors can turn down certain roles in their contracts but will end up in another movie that's not of their choice.
      That's how Sean Connery ended up in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - and he was so unhappy the movie was delayed through fighting with the director and he actually blames it for being his last movie ever! 😂😂😂
      Alot of actors end up in bad movies because they turned down say 3 movies and have to do the 4th.

    • @DiscoTimelordASD
      @DiscoTimelordASD 6 років тому +4

      Stefano Pavone It depends on the contract you sign I guess (small companies or Disney would be different obviously), but if you're a big time actor then you'd need a movie company you trust to have a few movies lined up for you to keep the cash flowing.
      Good movies hopefully 😂
      You just have to be careful you don't end up black listed by Hollywood - yes that is a thing.

    To clarify- Sub-Zero and his younger brother were both in the Lin Kuei clan. They both had long and had to pronounce names, long story short, and decided to go by the name of Sub-Zero. Scorpion was killed, and then came back as a skeleton demon. But this new Sub-Zero is a brother of the original. It's the same storyline in the games.

Subs murdered, and his brother takes his place as leader of thr clan. But Scorpian moves his revenge on the brother. Also, the OG Sub Zero becomes Noob Sabat. Then there's Frost, and Scorpian forgives Sub Zero. And a bunch of other stuff.

After the original dies, the younger brother takes on his mantle (Sub-Zero is a code name after all). And Scorpion was already dead. He was a reanimated soul from Netherrealm in the first movie.

      If you come to Doug for a real review of movies by someone with cinema knowledge, you've made a mistake. He doesn't comprehend movies for shit. I know he is supposed to be funny but.. as an example. In the MK review, he is stating the reasons for the main fighters to enter the contest as well as their backstory. For Liu Kang, he just says.. "bEcAusE hE's aSiAn!" TWICE. Insinuating that he had no backstory and no reason to enter the tournament. Liu Kang was the protagonist, and had more development than anyone. He leaves his people because he doesn't share their beliefs and ideas. He is living in America doing his own thing, until his brother is killed by Shang Tsung in the tournament. He vows revenge and enters the tournament. I haven't seen that movie in 8 years or so.. And remember that much.
      Doug often misdirects his audience, and lies about a scene to be blunt, to make his jokes. CinemaSins does this as well, but way way worse. Oh, to the fanboys, it isn't parody, nor is it satire. It's a lack of creativity and humor.

You can try to kill him all you want, he'll just keep coming back. Aside from that, yeah fuck this movie.
