How the hell yall grow up not watching this? This is mandatory for all 90s kids
Canada that's why lol
Agreed
Blame Canada! Blame Canada!
Fr
These guys aren’t 90’s kids. Too young.
Shang Tsung didn’t look like that in the original games, but after Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa’s masterful performance, they slowly pushed the character toward his likeness.
And Christophe Lambert going full ham in this movie was so funny. His “sorry” after punching the guy’s shoulder was chef’s kiss
i really liked Lambert as Raiden, he had a cool mentor vibe behind the character and i thought it was a nice touch. as for Cary Tagawa, dude really did nail his role, Triple H heel performance.
When they announced they were using him as the actual model in MK 11, I flipped my lid.
I love that they brought them both back for the video game.
Also they pushed Trevor Goddard's Kano
@@drstephenstrange897 Yep, after Goddard's death, they retconned Kano to be australian in memory of him
“Reptile!” That part gives me goosebumps every time
Haha, the only character in the movie that gets a disembodied vocal introduction. So freaking weird! LOL
The fact that Goro looks better than most monsters/creatures today is crazy!
@Killua4145 Yeah especially since there were a couple of problems with the animatronics, but the crew made it work.
The fact that he looks better than the Scorpion king in the mummy Returns just shows that it was not the technology that failed, but the ambition
a COUPLE?! that shitty animatronic kept breaking or going haywire! Crew hated it.@@brilicusgaming6922
He definitely is more substantial and more of a character than he was in the newer MK movie.
@@marcusfridh8489 Well, to be fair to _The Mummy Returns,_ there was some sort of scheduling conflict because Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson still had a WWE career, and his schedule didn't give the VFX team time to do a proper scan. With only a limited amount of reference material, they did the best they could with what they had. So it wasn't the ambition that failed, either.
"I hate this place. Liu I'm telling you I hate it. I'm in a hostile environment, I'm completely unprepared, and I'm surrounded by people who probably want to kick my ass. It's like being back in high school."
Fun Fact 4: Even though Kano's game backstory was that he was an american raised by a woman in Tokyo. Actor Trevor Goddard's portrayal as an Australian Kano left a lasting impact to every voiceover or portrayal is Australian.
Fun Fact 4a: Trevor Goddard, an English actor hailing from Croydon near London, cleverly carved a niche for himself by portraying Australian characters in his career. This unique choice stemmed from the fact that Hollywood producers often struggled to differentiate between British and Australian accents. As a result, when he portrayed Australian characters, Goddard only made minor adjustments to his natural accent or simply exaggerated it.
The accent he used for his role in Mortal Kombat was more of an exaggerated Cockney London accent rather than an authentic Australian one. Nevertheless, due to the common misconception and Goddard's history of playing Australian characters, the perception emerged that his character, Kano, was Australian.
His accent in this is English Cockney
Rest In Peace Trevor!
That's incorrect regarding being raised by a woman in Tokyo, that was never confirmed and not a fact at all. He was originally going to be a Japanese American orphan who lead the Black Dragon but there was no info regarding who'd raise him or trained him. While He wasn't originally Australian but he was just always a Mercenary, Thug and Extortionist Thief. Kano lives a life of crime and injustice. He is a devoted member of the Black Dragon. That part they kept. They didn't make him Australian background wise til this movie hit which Trevor's version went over so well the devs who make MK liked it so much they just made that apart of his canon.
@@MKF30 did you never read the official Mortal Kombat collector’s edition comic book? When it showed Kano’s profile, it was made clear he was orphaned by an American woman in Tokyo. And it was an official comic.
The hype surrounding this movie when it came out back in the day is still unparalleled. Saw it twice in the theater, packed, and everyone was losing their minds. Only low point for us fans was seeing Scorpion and Sub-Zero "work" together and not be adversaries
tbf they were mind controlled by Shang Tsung.
Star Wars 1977 has entered the chat. I never saw Mortal Kombat in theaters for over 1/2 year with TV showing Mortal Kombat lunchboxes, curtains, sheets, underwear, t-shirts, etc, etc, etc, etc,. It was insanity at it's finest. Still, this is a great 'game movie'.
Also the kunai being a living organism that comes out of his hand is like wtf
I saw this in the theater more than once it was awesome. Of course the second movie sucked in a way I didn't know was possible to achieve considering how great the first one was.
To be fair the movie acknowledges this. Shang Tsung says "Scorpion and Sub-Zero. Deadliest of enemies but slaves under my power."
Fun Fact: Christpher Lambert has said numerous of times that Raiden is his all time favorite role. He has had much fun with the character.
Also, it's impossible to overstate how epic it was to be a young kid seeing this at the height of '90s Mortal Kombat arcade mania.
Lambert was surprisingly good in this. That tells you how bad Annihilation was. James Remar is a far better actor, but was still a massive downgrade in the role of Raiden.
have you seen the remake Mortal Kombat? I like Lamberts Raiden better than that one. the actor is a good one, but his Raiden was too reserved.
@doughbafett it's the Voice, after having him as Raiden in the first, no one could replace him. You hated the new guy because the voice was so different
He went to Thailand for free to film cause he knew it would help the movie him being there in person and not a stand in as planned cause they couldn't afford paying him to go.
He paid for a wrap party for the cast and crew and did the French dub. He is a great guy from everything I've heard about him
Your favorite role in his career? Exaggeration if it is, I consider the first Highlander the best of his career.
There should be laws made than when the mortal kombat music comes on in public, we all have to fight each other
The PURGE!!!!
Or break dance
I’m totally on board with that.
Food court at the mall about to be a tournament on steriods!!
@@SpidermanandhisAmazingFriends or break dance fight!
This still holds up today as one of the better video game adaptions
one of the best tbh, only surpassed by the Sonic and Mario movies.
Far better an adaption then the 90s Super Mario for sure, not hating, still enjoy that Super Mario myself, but very much not in line with the games.
brilliant commentary... NOT.. how about some words rather than just a scoff?@@ffa4181
@@UltimateGamerCChave u see Silent Hill?
eh... if you think that was better than THIS, you're trippin'.@@JohnnyMnemonic.
Fun Fact 2: Hollywood has been known to test screen select films to a select audience before releasing the film to see what would work and what doesn't. So for MK 1995, the scene where we are introduced to Scorpion and Sub-Zero, the original reason behind them working together was that they were friends. But the test audience didn't like this and voiced that Scorpion and Subzero were enemies. So the Director added the bit where Shang Tsung says "Deadliest of enemies but slaves under my power."
Another fun fact originally Cameron Diaz was supposed to be Sonya but due to an injury, had to be replaced so they went with Bridgette Wilson instead.
Another fact from those screen tests: The original cut didn't have the Johnny Cage/Scorpion fight. The test audiences said there wasn't enough action. So during the re-shoots, they added that to the movie, and during the second round of test screenings, it was the highlight.
Yeah the audiences wanted more fights, thankfully they listened. The Sub vs Liu Kang fight could have been a little longer but I digress. More fun facts speaking of which, the new MK 1 game Season 3 of invasions currently going on now will end in 8 days, the last stage and boss is evil Sub-Zero from another timeline, they gave him a move that is a direct nod to this movie with a giant ice bubble that freezes you if you touch it.
The epic soundtrack will still be dope 100 years from now.
“Lu Kang you got a bike, oh for the bicycle kick” --- octokrool brilliance right there❤
*Liu*
Fun Fact: Before casting Brigitte Wilson, they had Cameron Diaz set for the role of Sonya Blade. But she injured her wrist training.
nothing against Diaz, but thank fuck that she hurt herself, i dont think that would've done as well.
i'd heard she broke her arm during filiming, doesn't matter i suppose, bridgette was so good i can't imagine anyone else in the role
I injured my wrist just thinking about Cameron Diaz as sonya lmao
Bridget was the much better choice.. Though her fighting scene looked terrible.
Not sure if it has been said but it is worth repeating: AVOID THE SEQUEL
Ya pretend the sequel never happened and just watch the reboot
I knew two of the guys who worked at Threshold (who did the some of the effects for the sequel) ... and I asked them for my money back after I saw Mortal Kombat: Annihilation in the theatres.
"Dudes, you could've at least WARNED ME that it was gonna suck"
Compared to the Annihilation ... the reboot film is a masterpiece.
Nah, they should see it. Share in the suffering. 😭
One part of me thinks that, but another part of me wants them to see it just for how funny their reaction to it will be
The soundtrack was so popular that it went double platinum arguably this was when MK was at its peak in popularity this movie is amazing & still regarded the best video game movie by alot of people
I kind of wanna listen to it for my leg day tomorrow in the gym.
I have the complete soundtrack that includes the artists that did the original soundtrack release, the musical score and tracks that never made it on either release. We're talking around a bit over two hours of music!
@@rodgill9376 right on its a great soundtrack
@@SammieSora hell yeah. Its good!
myself included, i see no issue with a movie being a little goofy, especially when everything else is so solid.
Still got it on cd lol.
This movie was such a labor of love by everyone involved. Robin Shou (Liu Kang) helped with teaching everyone how to fight and the fight choreography and Christopher Lambert (Raiden) paid out of his own pocket for all his travel expenses and the wrap party after they finished the movie because they ran out of money from the budget. To this day, this is my favorite Mortal Kombat movie, hands down. Plus, you can tell that everyone had a lot of fun making it. Side note: Cary-Hiroyuki Togawa is the best Shang Tsung and getting him to reprise the role for MK11 was the best idea anyone had for that game. Dude makes being evil sound so good.
Oh Yeah, Togawa is still the best Shang Tsung ever. HIs voice just IS the character.
I think all actors did a fantastic job here, especially Linden Ashby (Johnny Cage), Robin Shou (Liu Kang) and Bridgette Wilson (Sonya)
My understanding is that Lindon Ashby couldn't kick (worth a damn) above his waist. (That ONE high kick against Scorpion was a lucky fluke) Basically, he wasn't flexible enough.
That said, his performance & the awesome choreography and editing (working with that limitation) really made him look AMAZING! (imo)
@@sharkdentures3247Ashby is actually a legitimate martial artist in real life.
@@stevienightheat1 Really? Are you sure? I heard the exact opposite! (or that, at least, he had a lot of difficulty doing high kicks.)
@@sharkdentures3247 he's a legit martial artist, he probably had an injury that made it hard for him to do high kicks
fun fact: it wasn't supposed to be bridgette wilson playing sonya in this movie, the actress originally cast for the role was cameron diaz but she broke her arm filming some of the early scenes necessitating a recast
This is one of the coolest 90s movies. I miss practical effects and real stunts so much.
Fun Fact 3: The director in Johnny Cage's intro was almost set to be a cameo from Steven Spielberg. Who happened to be a fan of the games. This was later nodded to in another game.
Robin Shou was a great Liu Kang. He was also great in Beverly Hills Ninja.
Trevor Goddard’s performance as Kano was so good they change the character in the game to be based off him. Kano originally was of Japanese-American descent, but they changed it to Australian after this.
He is definitely the favorite part of the movie and made him my favorite character. It feeds the idea of a outlaw hiding in the outback
which was funny because goddards thick british accent got mistaken for aussie
Love this movie. "Those were $500 sunglasses asshole." HAHA.
Classic line. As a kid, I wondered, "Why would sunglasses cost $500? Are they special glasses?"
I love that line
YES!!!
MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!
Brandon Lee, before his passing, was rumored to play either Liu Kang or Johnny Cage.
Cameron Diaz was cast to play Sonya Blade, but broke her wrist during a fight rehearsal and had to drop out.
Bridgette Wilson took her place.
Steven Spielberg, a huge fan of the video game, was even considered to cameo as the director of Johnny Cage's movie, but had to drop out as he was taking a break from directing JURASSIC PARK and Schindler's List.
Johnny Cage hit Scorpion with that "Friendship"
Oh my god I've never thought about that
To this day, the Scorpion/Johnny Cage fight is one of my personal favorite scenes. Creepy atmosphere and Zero Signal by Fear Factory playing in the background? Epic
Was coming here to mention Fear Factory 👌🏻
If I remember right, that fight and the Liu Kang / reptile fight were filmed after the fact because test audiences said there wasn't enough fights. It's crazy cuz you could argue which one is better, but they're definitely the two best fights in the film
"odd fingers, even arms!" im dead
In case you guys didn't know this the autograph wasn't something the movie came up with. It's Johnny Cages friendship in Mortal Kombat 2.
The Scorpion fight is not only the best fight in the movie, but one of the coolest fight scenes in ANY film!
I'm glad people are still digging this soundtrack, I found some of my favorite bands as a teenager on there!
It's so goofy, but in a fun way.
And it's really fun to know that Ed Boon really loves this movie too.
And not a single thought by him on the recent movie, curious
@@fungifago That movie was... fine. Just fine. Nothing truly great or bad about it.
@SyxxPunk the costumes were great but ya story wise the 1995 movie will always be the best
You guys mentioned the music throughout being great. I agree, I think the main theme is a freakin BOPPP. But I wanna tell everyone reading this about the song that plays at the END of the movie, it's extremely beautiful and epic (you have to give it the time and respect it deserves when listening btw, as it sort of unfolds and blooms like a flower over the course of 10 minutes). The name of it is "Halcyon On and On" and is by Orbital.
And they use it again in Hackers ;)
@@TheMsLourdesMultiple times in Hackers.
It's really such an epic song. One of my favorites. They play it at the end of Mean Girls too.
It's always on any of my Playlist on whatever I'm using for music. Most of the sound track is. If and when they are available
I think Orbital made most of the soundtrack to this movie.
One of my favorite childhood movies growing up. Pure nostalgia! Awesome reaction you guys ❤
This movie really was fan service for fans of the game at the time, it had the Fatalities and Friendalities, things you had to be a real player of the game to get.
This soundtrack was a must play at every junior high wrestling tournament back in the day.
True Romance also has a killer soundtrack.
I'm glad you like it, guys! I had such a blast watching this in the theaters when I was a teenager (and a big fan of the games). Fantastic times :)
I’m surprised you guys skipped the title sequence! I was really looking forward to your reaction to the Mortal Kombat theme!
🤨
didn't you know, it's... Raiden the TROLLING god of Thunder, christophe lambert did the best raiden portrayal ever, both in looks and in personality, the laugh and the trolling, so perfect for Raiden, this is the true Raiden, and he had so much fun too, being able to troll everyone, and especially that laugh, it just fits Raiden so well
This movie will always have a special place in my heart. I learned Shotokan martial arts from one of the fighters at the end. that jumped out of the sewers. Master James Hopkins
"Odd fingers...even arms" 😂 man I almost choked on my coffee with that one.
saw this 1995..i was in 6th grade..went went 2 of my friends..this movie had me soooo stoked
Nice!! I was 6 years old when it came out. I remember when my parents rented it from the local video store on the release day.
@@Motownsports89 good times...i miss those days...i was to busy trying to grow i didnt savor the moment like i should have
You guys should watch 3 Ninjas, completely different kind of 90s martial arts movie, but it hits a lot of similar notes somehow, I think you'd love it.
The liu and reptile fight. Liu missed the soft spot on a pillar when he punched it and actually broke his hand
I actually love this movie and own the soundtrack.
The first guy Lu Kang fights in the tournament was supposed to be dressed like the other guards, but he had such a unique look that the director made sure you could see him.
Johnny's forrest fight wasn't supposed to happen there. Again, the director saw it and changed locations.
Here's a *fact* you're NOT ready for:
One of the most memorable and popular musical score tracks from this movie's soundtrack (reaching #2 on Billboard's "Top 100 Hot Dance Club Songs", and staying at that position for full two years, from 1994 to 1996), was created and performed by an actual female-porn-actress-who-became-a-professional-DJ. Yes. Really. I am NOT joking or lying, or exaggerating, even one slightest bit. The woman's name is Traci Lords (pseudonym from her porn industry days, her actual name being Nora Louise Kuzma, she's of Soviet Ukrainian descent, from immigrant parents, she was born in Ohio), the track in question is "Control" from the album "1000 Fires" (released in December of 1994), which was also her debut studio work (she wrote the songs, performed the lyrics/vocals, and edited the scores/timing, all by herself, while Ben Watkins and Wonder Schneider helped with equipment/instruments/additional cues). The instrumental version of this track, which was used for this movie's official soundtrack, was mixed and performed by "Juno Reactor" under Lords' strict supervision (under her "control", if you will, no pun intended) and sold double-platinum (certified by RIAA), earning Lords her first major musical industry award. "Control" track itself is done in a "industrial techno" style, but since then (and through the rest of the 90's and early-to-mid 2000's) Traci Lords also did various DJ performances in genres/sub-genres of "psychedelic trance" (a.k.a. "GOA"), "progressive trance", "deep house", "break beat", "liquid drum & bass/funk". She inspired "Infected Mushroom" duo.
Traci was in a bunch of actual movies outside porn (Incidentally that porn she did, don't lookup, not only is it kinda disrespectful now, its also considered CP as she was underage at that time she was performing (lied about age)) that said, she's the blonde in Cry Baby, and she was in the scifi series First Wave. And if you haven't read her book, its a page turner.
Most people with that kind of 'skill' go on to a successful career in music . . . .
Fun fact about that adult film of hers. When I was very young. I went snooping around my grandfather's book case. And found a vhs case. In the case
Sex Shoots
Also found lots of old-school adult magazines too. From the 70s. And 80s. It wasn't untill years later that I found out that VHS was very very very very very illegal
@@terrylandess6072
Not really. Not always "successful".
I can't remember or name many truly successful ex-porn actors/actresses who decided to become full-time mainstream musicians, aside from Traci Lords and maybe also, perhaps, Sasha Grey (who also happened to become a DJ exactly because she was inspired by Lords' successful mainstream career to begin with), and (by a very big stretch) Elena Berkova. I can't remember/recall from the top of my head any other of the "truly successful" ones, outside of those three women. Perhaps there's more out there, but I'm not an expert/aficionado on "history of porn and it's actors/actresses", so I dunno.
Raidens laughter always gets me everytime I come across the clips.
Johnny Cage enters: That's my man!
That sounds about right..
This is probably the best video game adaptation ever made.The soundtrack to this film was written with the participation of the famous porn actress Tracey Lords.
This movie was a staple for 90s kids growing up. I still watch it to this day whenever it comes on tv and I actually prefer this movie over the one that came out in 2021 😅
Saw this in theater at least 3 times with the same group of friends. The soundtrack album is amazing. You've GOTTA see the sequel... trust me. I saw that one opening night, despite so many omens. Faster would be ideal, as you need to have this film in mind for full potency. Great react as always!
Saw this in the theater with my older brother. Only the front row seats were available. It was totally worth a sore neck and my ears getting blasted with techno syndrome (The MK theme). Good cast, good choreography, good sets, good music. Top tier videogame film, even with the limits of the time
When Johnny gets off the boat all I could think was Spaceballs. HER MAJESTY'S MATCHED LUGGAGE!
LOL!!!!
I'm happy that you two loved this movie! Did you recognize the actress that played Sonya Blade? She was Schwarzenegger's daughter in Last Action Hero and Adam Sandler's girlfriend in Billy Madison! And it was awesome that you recognized Christopher Lambert as Raiden and said "Is that Highlander?!" Please watch Mortal Kombat:Annihilation(1997) even though I think this one was a bad movie.I think you'll appreciate reacting to the Mortal Kombat(2021) movie even more because if it weren't for the first two movies we might not have got such a kick-ass more realistic version! If you do watch the 2021 movie be prepared to block out a lot of scenes because it's bloody!
After the big Mortal Kombat game wave in the early 90s this movie was gold in 1995
I remember seeing this in theatres back in ‘95. I maintain to this day that Johnny Cage vs Scorpion is one of the best fights ever filmed.
1995 was awesome for MK fans. We got the movie, the live tour, and MK3 in arcades all in the same year.
What live tour?
@Solider7 there was an arena tour with actors playing characters from the game. It was awesome for all the wrong reasons and I highly suggest looking up videos of it.
I remember renting this movie from Hollywood video as a kid!
To this day, I've never seen the sequel!
From what I've heard, that was a smart decision!
Yes, it was.
Ya have to watch inebriated to fully enjoy it.
I would say the sequel's worth a view, simply from a so cheesy it's entertaining standpoint. 2021's MK was pretty bland though
@@mike91mdk45 yeah Mk 2021 was wet cardboard . But kabal was pretty cool
watch it, it's actually not that bad and has some good fights and good moments,the movie is more disappointing considering what potentially could have been then bad
Hands down, one of the greatest video game adaptations ever.
Paul W.S. Anderson's 2nd film and first Hollywood production.
Highly anticipated for the end of summer 1995.
Partly hyped by 2 mini-series; Blood & Thunder, Battlewave from Malibu Comics.
Everything about the film was great with fight sequences, casting/cast chemistry, special effects, music, and even the signatures of the games (the first 3 installments anyway).
Johnny Cage's story was originally the main premise of the game.
Back when Jean-Claude Van Damme was approached to be the JC character in the game, but turned it down and returned 30 years later to be in the new MK1.
The theme, Mortal Kombat (Techno Syndrome) is originally from the Mortal Kombat:The Album (1994) by The Immortals and was a smash hit for over a year before the film's release.
It played a huge part of the movie and helped sell over 1 million copies of the TVT records' original motion picture soundtrack.
RIP to Trevor Goddard (Kano), Gregory McKenney (the first onscreen version of Jax) and recently deceased martial arts legend, Pat E. Johnson (fight choreographer).
The sequel aka Annihilation (1997), it's considered one of the worse and you can watch it, if you chose.
But definitely check out the 2021 reboot.
Nah! Should definitely pass on the sequel and the newest MK that bombed at the box office. Only the first 10-15 minutes of the new MK was good.
So glad You guys approved this movie, one of My all time favorites, the Main theme song can be heard on the 2021 film although it makes a cameo during the final fight and during the credits
A childhood classic.
Liu Kang vs reptile it’s my favorite fight. Oh, the old times!
Only watch the sequel if you want a laugh. It’s truly awful. The remake is actually quite good. Kano steals the shit out of that movie.
One of my favorite movies and games from growing up. The soundtrack still hits perfectly. I'm glad y'all finally got to watch it. Hope to see y'all watch the rest.
The hours a spent trying to master the moves on my GB pocket good times
I was 16 when this Marvel came out...watched it 3 times in a row in the cinema❤
19:15 When Scorpion says “GET OVER HERE!” That is actually Ed Boon, one of the creators of the Mortal Kombat video game series.
Such a classic and glad you enjoyed the soundtrack as much as I did! Produced by Oliver Adams and Praga Khan. Two legends of the New Beat, Belgian Techno scene back in the day. They also had a track featured in Basic Instinct under the name Channel X called Rave The Rhythm 😊
I still remember tearing a ligament to the opening theme of this movie play fighting my little brother back in '95 pretending to be Johnny Cage 😂
Yup, I mentioned how the Mortal Kombat theme was done by Praga Khan using the band name “The Immortals”. I actually met Praga Khan before a Lords of Acid show in Orlando and I told him how much I enjoyed the theme and he said “Ah yes, Immortals, Mortal Kombat”. Clearly he’s still proud of it and it holds a special place for him
"a hand full of people on a leaky boat is gonna save the world...exactly "
That's 90s GOLD right there! "GET OVER HERE!!!" Never Gets Old -
Lets just get this out of the way:
BEST SCENE: Cage vs Scorpion with music from Fear Factory (Zero Signal) playing in the background.
Mortal Kombat Sequel.... Not as good.
The more recent one, WAY BETTER.
MORTAL KOMBAT!! Great reaction, indeed the Scorp vs Cage fight was epic lol. This is still the best live video game movie to me! It still stands up today and is just a fun time. The next one Annihilation wasnt received as well as this one but its more of a guilty pleasure. The reboot I would say was fun not quite as good as this movie but definitely better than annihilation.
There's also the animated movies which i highly recommend theyre good 👍 and pretty brutal like the game. Hope you guys watch more!
One of the great things about this movie is all the ninjas are played by real martial arts champions. Scorpion by Chris Casamassa (world karate champion), sub zero was François Petit a master in ninjutsu, and high level black belt in karate and judo.. he was also a pow in the military. Reptile was a Keith Cooke, a 5x world Wushu champion. It really adds to the authenticity of this movie.. Robin Shou was even an accomplished martial artist winning international championships in wushu and karate before getting into acting.
@@shadowproductions969 Yep! I know thats so cool. Indeed and even Linden Ashby(Johnny Cage) took martial arts as well. He said his fight with Chris was fun and they really hit each other a few times during that long@ss fight lol 😆 by accident but it happens sometimes.
Keith Cooke also returned alongside Robin for their fight scenes in the sequel Mak annihilation. Keith played Sub-Zero(kuai Liang second Sub-Zero) where as the first one he played Reptile.
And to think that and the reptile fight had to be added after audience feedback. Glad they listened lol
@@mike91mdk45 Yeah. The reptile fight I'm glad they added.
As always it will be a great reaction video. My popcorn is ready! Love from Portugal
I remember I watched the hell out of this because my dad recorded it on vhs way back in the day. The campiness is pure mid 90's, the set design is unreal, and the characters (while hit or miss) are pretty well done. Also yes the soundtrack is bangin!
If you went to any martial arts ranking competition or ceremony, they played the Mortal Kombat theme song over and over..
Christopher Lambert's dad was American, when Lambert was born, his dad was the ambassador to Switzerland. English is his second or third language so that's why he's got such a strong accent.
YES! A new upload from you guys on my birthday! Best birthday gift EVER🤩🙌
Holy hell, I've been waiting for this review!!!!!!
This movie had such an impact on the future games they would create, but for me, the Reptile fight was the best. The voice announcing "Reptile", the Music, and the choreography is the one thing that sticks out to me most. That and Christopher Lambert.
Really a pleasant surprise that you guys could enjoy this so much even without the nostalgia glasses someone like me has for this movie. Definitely had fun watching you guys have fun with it.
Love the cheese still to this day. Loved seeing you all enjoy this for what it was and is a well done over the top silly fun movie based on a video game (when all video game films were trash)
I was 18 when this came out. I saw it three times in the theater.
I was also 18, and saw it multiple times in theater. People lost it when Reptile showed up to fight Liu. I still think Reptile should’ve won that fight easily
Kevin Michael Richardson plays Goro he is also the guy that voices principal Lewis in American Dad and captain gantu in Lilo & stitch
I love this MK. To me it’s even better than the 2021 version. I grew up watching with this one. The soundtrack bangs. The effects are off the chain especially for ‘95. The characters are all damn near spot on. You can’t even deny the funny parts make the movie that much more great.
Christopher Lambert is funny as Raiden
I can't tell any difference between Johnny Cage and Chris Evan's Johnny Storm (Fantastic 4 2005)
That's the only thing I never liked about this movie the cheesy Raiden character.
Love your reactions best youtubers!!
This is an amazing reaction, subscribed. It's like watching with brothers.
Soo glad you guys reacted to this one...pure beautiful nostalgia and the BEST soundtrack!! ❤
Haha. I was wild about Mortal Kombat as a kid. Saw this in the theater with my mom. It hasn't aged well at all, but still holds a small place in my heart. The Lui Kang/Reptile fight is easily the best.
It did age well excluding the CGI/FX parts which could always be updated with newer technology.
@@DjJokerr The writing, acting, and coreography are all quite limited, to put it nicely.
super fun film , with awesome soundtrack , cool fights and fun characters
Everyone I knew owned this soundtrack. It was the soundtrack of many weekends for us.
You watched a banger guys, such a fun movie. I notice you guys enjoy the sound track, this was the decade of sound tracks that completed a good movie, so sad movies don’t tie in soundtracks like this any more. Lambert was amazing as raidon here, this guy was so cool when they needed more pick up shots that lambert paid out of his own pocket to get all the actors back on set on location, lambert is king guys. Keep up the good work boys.
Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤
Greatest video game movie ever made.
This movie will always remind me of my youth before becoming a parent. The Mortal Kombat game was so popular and the theater was hype! The way we lost our minds when the announcer said “Reptile”
And there is no time I hear the main song without bopping ☺️
I saw this reaction while scrolling and yelled out !!! WHAT !!! I can't believe you guys have never seen this !!! It's one of my favorite movies growing up - so before I watch the reaction you get a insta like 💕
Awesome reaction of my favorite Mortal Kombat movie!!!!😊😊😊😊
Such a good movie! Brings back so much nostalgia~ Liu Kang is my favorite and he's done so awesome in this movie. The sequel is not as good as this movie, but I'd say it would be fun to see you react to it. I don't remember it as well as the first. As far as the new movie and whether it's reaction worthy, I would say it is worth a reaction, but it doesn't hit like the original in my opinion.
It has great effects and fight scenes. And the Scorpion and Sub-Zero story line is good. I think Kano overshadows everyone in the new one. He's very good and probably worth a reaction all on his own. I enjoy the new Liu Kang even if he isn't able to match the legacy of the original. I think the two biggest flaws of the new one is that its main character is a little boring and it takes itself just a bit too seriously at times. A little more cheesy or corniness could really help with its identity. Another flaw that they would fix if they do a sequel is that Johnny Cage isn't in the first one. As a fair warning since he's your favorite. X'D
First, the games got me hooked, then the cartoon, then the movies, and of course, the live action series… This franchise is timeless
Of course, you cannot forget the soundtracks for both movies and games
I had the pleasure of watching this movie in theatres in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil when it came out here (september 1995). It was a great deal, I even got a videogame magazine that came with a VHS tape that showed a little of the backstage, interviews with the main actors, and a music video of the main theme.
Went cinema to see this when released and loved the original game for the snes. Have you guys done Dragon The Bruce Lee Story yet? If not, one for the future
So I filled in for Keith Cooke as Reptile on the some of the long shots. Great days
Fun fact. If your a wrestling fan. Watch undertaker vs mick foley hell in a cell. The Dr with the pony tail. Is Sub Zero.
Brandon Lee was the first person cast for this movie. He was set to play Johnny Cage before he passed.
Omg this is the ultimate 90s action movie for 90s kids… it’s awesome… happy u guys r reacting to this 😊
