It totally made the VIBE for the movie after the start hell yeah. Shang Tsung: "Scorpion and Sub-Zero... deadliest of enemies, but slaves under my power"
Cary Tagawa was perfect as Shang Tsung. He took the role seriously and I think that made a huge difference from all the other videogame movies of that time.
Even more interesting fact about Bridget Wilson: she finished filming on Billy Madison and got on a plane to Thailand the very next day for Mortal Kombat. She had no martial arts experience, so her fight scenes were all shot last to give her the most time to train. She did all her training on set.
Bro all the females they casted for Sonya in this film were all perfect tbh & they were literally at their most sexiest of there entire careers especially 1994 !!!! U had Bridget Wilson at her ultimate sexiest best , Cameron Diaz at her ultimate sexiest best , Sharon Stone at her ultimate sexiest best & the girl from Starship Troopers at her ultimate sexiest best & any of them would have killed that role regardless ❤
Fun Fact : Sub-Zero (Francois Petit) was the doctor in the ring attending Mick Foley in the Hell In A Cell match vs Undertaker (And i mean a real doctor)
@@boxerblake1 you can literally hear Jim Ross mention his name as he rushes into the ring to check on Mick. This was right after he went through the roof of the cage
the original one is a sure classic but the reboot is is great in its own light. I think the sequel will be awesome, im hyped for it, hope it spawns an MK universe of movies.
@Crimsn519 The modern movies are horrible. All the way down to the choppy editing and terrible writing. It doesn't even follow the story correctly. The 2nd movie will surely kill a chance for a 3rd movie. I'm not even sure how they got the green light for the 2nd one.
I really loved this movie when it came out. I didn't even worry about the CGI Reptile or the lack of real game fatalities. It was just so much fun. I miss that these days.
i don't even have to watch the video i can tell you why it did well, great acting, great martial arts, fantastic set pieces, and the same story from the game, is it really that hard to just use the story from the game, alot of moves from the game were implemented, fatalities, finish him, and that song.
The soundtrack is amazing, also acting in this movie. When the movie was on cinemas, I used to have poster with Raiden and Kitana on my room's door. Great times.
Mortal Kombat was not an initial take on Street Fighter JCVD. They wanted to make a game around JCVD Blood Sport, but he turned it down. MK was just supposed to rival SF in a datk gritty take on fighting games.
Actually Ed Boon said in an interview that originally they pitched a game to Van Damme with a demo game using scenes from his movie Bloodsport, they wanted him to star in the game and call it "Van Damme" but he turned it down because he had another game deal going at the time with the Universal Soldier movie, a game that never happened, but JCVD has said numerous of times that he has regretted turning down the game idea and the role of Johnny Cage in the MK MOVIE. I'm not sure where they get that MK was originally supposed to be a Street Fighter JCVD game tho, that was never true. Lol
Crazy to think that if this movie failed, Paul W.S. Anderson's career wouldn't have took off and he wouldn't have directed the Resident Evil movies. He also wouldn't have married Milla Jovovich, who he met on the set of Resident Evil. This movie stood the test of time. A true classic that I could watch a million times. The casting was just so perfect.
As much as those RE movies provide some much needed "turn brain off" time that I do personally enjoy, I cant help but imagine a world where the P. W.S. Anderson RE movies never existed, and instead we got the George A. Romero version... Mortal Kombat will forever hold against the test of time as one of the better videogame adaptations and especially for the cinematography, those RE movies on the other hand; well, a man can dream, a man can dream.
RE Apocalypse was better than the original film , it's was the only one that was just like the actual game & had the same exact costumes just like Mortal Kombat did !!!!! By far the two best video game adaptations ever ❤
HUGE MK fan here and I LOVE this movie! Excellent job and thank you for making this. I have an awesome MK cake im making that I’ll be posting in the future!
I went to the movies with my dad to watch this movie and it will always have a special place in my heart. I watch it at least once a year. Amazing film and I can’t wait to watch it with my son in a few years.
this is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. perfect casting, great atmosphere, and OMG the soundtrack is top tier. i will always scream "MORTAL KOMBAT" then immediately begin to do a crazy white boy edm dance mixed with some 'martial arts' moves until i almost pass out. lol
According to the internet Cameron Diaz was originally cast as Sonya Blade in this movie but dropped out due to a wrist injury and was replaced by Bridgette Wilson.
Huh, that's wild, I'd never heard that.. Well, I don't think she would've done very well, she's not very talented and likely would of half assed the part, so things worked out..
Sharon Stone , the redhead from Starship Troopers & Cristina Applegate were all casted too & every single one of them were at their ultimate prime of sexiness so any of the 5 would have killed this role tbh ❤
So many good things about this movie. I loved how Shang Tsung looked disgusted when he saw his blood. It was commentary on the censorship. Liu Kang DID get a Flawless Victory on Shang Tsung if you pay attention the fight was broken up into rounds.
@@All5Horizonswasn’t Sub-Zero’s first win one? Anyway, if you watch Shang Tsung hits the ground and then stands up slowly, just like in the games, then gets beat.
@ I’ll have to check that out. Sub-Zero’s first win was a flawless victory, I suppose. But that’ll likely happen also seemed more like a demonstration and not an actual match.
Not to mention the one stunt man that was doing a flip as Scorpion and hit both his shins on a pole and fractured them. Wasn't reported but later revealed in behind the scenes interviews and I think additional commentary track later.
Have you seen "Gone with the Wind" for example? That film's a certified classic and 86 years old... By your logic, anything that isn't "new" should have been seen by all 🫤
Whatever you think of Anderson's movies you have to admit that guy knows how to go big with a small budget, I'm a huge fan of B movies, especially the mountain of zombie films in the early 2000's, but Mortal Kombat seemed bigger than it actually was especially only having a 20 million dollar budget thats like 16 million pounds, in Hollywood thats pocket change, watch the movie knowing that, it's a pretty incredible achievement especially for the 90's.
Fun fact: The soundtrack, not only just awesome, comes in two different forms. The cassette comes explicit while the CD comes edited. I always found that strange
I was 10 when this movie came out. And even my TEACHERS were talking about it and how good it was! And I'm just going to school in a village of 2,000 people.
I don’t care what anyone says… Bridgette as Sonya was definitely her role from the beginning. She did her own stunts, filmed short amount of time and fly from one location to another to film. Now that’s a BADASS Sonya!
Of course, I think that the movie took a rather free hand with the original MK story, retelling some things in a non-canonical way, but at the same time it was filmed amazingly, in terms of staging fights, in terms of graphics, in terms of the cast, some things were not ideal, of course not, but for its time it was a great movie with an amazing soundtrack and I just remind you that no one has managed to surpass it yet, neither TV series, nor reboots, nor sequels, nor animated series. It still remains as cool as before. The movie has stood the test of time, especially if there is some allowance for the slightly outdated computer effects.
Great video and thankyou for correctly pointing out that the late great Trevor Goddard was indeed doing a cockney British accent, not Australian!. But it has now become Trevor's legend that because people took his accent for Australian, the character was retconned to Australian in the games and then the more recent movie. Some say Trevor never got his big Hollywood break and I'm inclined to agree, but he gave us the absolute definite version of Kano that can never be matched, RIP Trevor x.
I don't care what anybody says when I watched this movie in the movie theater and the Mario brothers in the movie theater. Chef's kiss bro. You had to be there to understand it. For the time that was the best that you can see on screen yeah you understood that some of it like reptile was CGI but for the most part that was a lot of practical effects
I feel sorry for anyone that wasn't able to see this back in the mid 90's , my most watched film as a 9 year old back in 95-96 & Aliens which was my second favorite film that i watched at that age & all my friends & neighborhood too , i literally stole the VSH copy from the video store when it first came out cuz my parents were too damn poor to pay for new releases at the time but this is by far the most watched action movie of that type period by far & the only thing i don't regret stealing as a kid❤ This film is a 90's action masterpiece & the best best in my opinion after Speed (1994) ofcorse!!!! Even the Matrix when i saw it in theaters when it came out didn't feel as good watching this masterpiece when it came out ❤ The CGI is obviously dated but still fits good in this film regardless even today , i love it because of how iconic & nostalgic it still is !!!!! By far in my top 5 most watched films of the entire 90's as a kid!!!! The actors were perfect , the marital arts are 100% on point according to my friend that is a legit 9th degree black belt hence why the fight scenes aren't too overwhelming because they are actually realistic & the cinematography & costumes & music are literally muah 😘🤌
Any Trey and Matt fan should really check out Cannibal: The Musical. They made this film together while still in college. It’s based on a real historical character alferd packer. And yes, it’s a musical. “When I Was On Top of You” is one of the greatest songs ever written and all the music in the movie was written by Trey.
When smoke was oozing out the barn in the new one I thought to myself… SMOKE! LETS GO! And it wasn’t, and that movie was atrocious the entire way through
Given all the stuff I know about the games, I Didn't Know Jack about this movie. For me, this is like learning how far away the Sun actually is. I mean that in a good way.
The only let-down, if you want to call it, was the absence of over-the-top-violence. I love the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie, it's still dumb but it's entertaining and you just fall in love with the cast, as they're all so likeable. On a side note: Goddard and Lawson are top tier as the sociopathic Kano.
Characterization matters! If audiences care about the characters, they can overlook many other aspects (and this goes both ways). James Cameron used to understand this....
Mk conquest was fun ! It used scenes from both movies to tie it altogether. Too bad they didn't do a movie or a game with all of the characters from the 2 movies and the tv series
Sonya is Tennis legend Pete Sampras' wife. It was either this movie or Billy Madison (i honestly forgot which) where Pete said he watched it then told his publicist that he wanted to meet her in some interview.
Mk 1995 is still the best live adaptation video game movie as far as I'm concerned to this day. 😎👍🏼 Raiden was never asian in the games until the new timeline (MK1) btw in which he's not even a God in the current universe and honestly shouldn't matter since he's a God he can take any form he wants.
It was more successful than the other films at that time because it had a wider audience. It was the only IP that appealed to mature audiences because the game itself did. If Mario Bros leaned more into the IP rather than making up bs, then I believe it would have been almost as successful.
great video, not related to the content, but seems like you were having some sort of sound/mic issues towards the end, some high pitched sounds, feedback perhaps, got pretty annoying to listen to. just fyi, looking forward to the next videos.
They left out the part when talking about the casting of Johnny Cage, The late Brandon Lee was already in mind during the creating of the script and was going to be offered the role. Of course the unfortunate part due to a freak accident on the set of making the film "The Crow" he passed away and never got that chance. RIP Brandon.🙏
I mean, I'm sure there are some Gen Zs who've never seen this iteration of MK. Although there was nothing revealed in this video that's remotely spoiling the plot.
Well, given what you have shared, I will stop being annoyed at a British actor being cast as an Australian in this movie (as that really grinds my gears in other movies and media). However your series has been really interesting, and looking forward to part 3.
![Making of - Mortal Kombat 3 (high quality) [MK3 Into The Outworld - Behind the Scenes]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Gs4tAuiANQE/mqdefault.jpg)
Scorpion and Sub Zero's entrance made the whole movie.
It totally made the VIBE for the movie after the start hell yeah. Shang Tsung: "Scorpion and Sub-Zero... deadliest of enemies, but slaves under my power"
The music, the energy the getting into their fighting stance the whole shit was just bad ass!
Cary Tagawa was perfect as Shang Tsung. He took the role seriously and I think that made a huge difference from all the other videogame movies of that time.
He's a wonderful actor and person...
@RevrenD23 He died a few years ago.
@FuzzyFoot58 Lol he's not dead.. I'm not even sure who you may be mistaken him for..
@RevrenD23 WTF!? I clearly remember seeing an announcement about two or three years ago that he'd died.
Must be another Mandela effect.
@FuzzyFoot58 Lol no worries, I've got the same kind of Mandela with George Harrison.. I remember him dying in 2004 instead of 2001..
Even more interesting fact about Bridget Wilson: she finished filming on Billy Madison and got on a plane to Thailand the very next day for Mortal Kombat. She had no martial arts experience, so her fight scenes were all shot last to give her the most time to train. She did all her training on set.
I never even connected these two as the same people!! I’ll never watch Billy Madison the same way ever again
This fact completely insane
Bro all the females they casted for Sonya in this film were all perfect tbh & they were literally at their most sexiest of there entire careers especially 1994 !!!!

Fun Fact : Sub-Zero (Francois Petit) was the doctor in the ring attending Mick Foley in the Hell In A Cell match vs Undertaker (And i mean a real doctor)
So he’s a doctor AND an accomplished martial artist? Wow!
He's a WWE chiropractor, and wasn't involved in that match
@@boxerblake1he does come out in that match
@@boxerblake1 you can literally hear Jim Ross mention his name as he rushes into the ring to check on Mick. This was right after he went through the roof of the cage
Fun fact, this movie is still tons better than the 2020 one.
Maybe so but the new one holds weight. It ain't bad at all
That's not a fun fact, that's just straight Fact!
@whoisbrucewayne17
Fuck no. MK2021 is an abomination to the whole franchise. The 2nd movie should never see the light of day.
the original one is a sure classic but the reboot is is great in its own light. I think the sequel will be awesome, im hyped for it, hope it spawns an MK universe of movies.

Scorpion vs Johnny deserved more recognition for choreography.
Agreed!
And the music score during that fight. Zero Signal by Fear Factory
During that fight in the background there's a car that passes behind the trees. , i guess someone was in the movie and don't even know it
💯💯💯
WELCOME! 👊🏾😂
Fun fact: This movie still looks better than 90% of films made NOW.
That's a sad fact.
Fun fact: Opinions are not facts
Mostly practical effects and most importantly real sets that aren't just cg over greenscreens will do that
Except for reptile that looks straight poo haha
Sad fact
The soundtrack was perfect music to workout to
100% agreed. I used a few of the songs for training when I was a boxer. Great high-energy music to work with.
i don't even have to watch the video i can tell you why it did well, great acting, great martial arts, fantastic set pieces, and the same story from the game, is it really that hard to just use the story from the game, alot of moves from the game were implemented, fatalities, finish him, and that song.
Fun Fact: The actor who plays Reptile is the same actor that plays SubZero's brother in part 2. You can recognize his fighting style
& his eyes
The soundtrack is amazing, also acting in this movie. When the movie was on cinemas, I used to have poster with Raiden and Kitana on my room's door. Great times.
When I was a kid in ‘96 (12yro), I legitimately thought it was Spielberg. They did a great job casting that guy.

I still have the soundtrack CD. First cd my mom ever bought me from Walmart. I didn't even know it was edited till i was older.
That album was amazing,I still play that haylcon on+on+on till this day 🔥
@@jluda468 same!
Best scene in movie:
When Reptile turns into his ninja form and you hear "Reptile" in the video game voice
Despite his many, many flaws as director, always will cherish him for this, "Event Horizon" and "Soldier".

One of the best movies from the 1990's and still the best Mortal Kombat movie!
“It has begun!”
Is a quote thar lives with me on the regular
Mk Legacy has to be my favourite following this movie. So much nostalgia right here.

Sick I loved this movie as a kid!!! This review was amazing!!! Thank you!!!
I love how this video starts with a spoiler warning, for a almost 30 year old movie :) But I enjoyed it, am curious for the other parts.

I saw it in theater, and after the full team vs tournament thugs with mortal kombat theme song played, WE ALL STOOD and APPLAUDED. It was AWESOME!
I was 10 when this movie came out. And even my TEACHERS were talking about it and how good it was! And I'm just going to school in a village of 2,000 people.

I don’t care what anyone says… Bridgette as Sonya was definitely her role from the beginning. She did her own stunts, filmed short amount of time and fly from one location to another to film. Now that’s a BADASS Sonya!
Looking forward to part 2! Keep up the awesome work
They had a live action tour i seen as a kid around this time for promoting the movie 🤘😈🤘
My fav movie growing up, I watch it every Halloween no matter what

By far in my top 5 most watched films of the entire 90's as a kid!!!!

2:10
Lol the cartwheel 🤣😂🤣😂
Fun fact: The essence of Mortal Kombat is not about death, but life.
No WAY!!!! WAS DOUBLE DRAGON A FLOP, it was my favorite movie as a kid. Most of these are needed to be off the list
The soundtrack was amazing!
Any Trey and Matt fan should really check out Cannibal: The Musical. They made this film together while still in college. It’s based on a real historical character alferd packer.
