      They look like that to you because they were both great actors with great writing, not because they looked like a sprite. This wasnt ps5 graphics lmao, anyone with long dark hair would have fit the character model.

    I find it extremely interesting that the actor, the guy that thrives on attention and being the center of attention, brought Goro to a secluded spot to kill him without an audience.

      Never forget the one-liner. And don't forget to have a backup in case someone asks "what happened to the other guy?" In this case, something like "he fell for me" or "he took the short way down" work as pocket-replies.

      I remember seeing this movie when it came out opening weekend. I was in 4th grade. The theater I saw it in had a hokey (which at the time I thought was the coolest thing ever) martial arts "demonstration" before the movie.
      I came out of that theater throwing lame kicks and punches hyped out of my mind. Good times.

      Exactly: punch him in the nuts to get him to stop thinking/piss him off, set an ambush, finish the job. Hell, Goro was barely able to stand after that low blow so combine that with the surprise from the ambush and Johnny not letting up once his advantage is secured and this fight makes a lot of sense. Goro was portrayed here as relying solely on his inhuman endurance and power to bulldoze his enemies. Johnny short circuited that plan.

    • @sebfox2194
      @sebfox2194 2 роки тому +55

      It was still plot armour though, in that Goro just stood around with his mouth open whilst Johnny delivered his cheesy line, before easily kicking his ass. If Goro was even half decent at fighting, then the weight and size difference alone should have been enough for him to easily crush Johnny.
      A good example of a dude using his brain to defeat a bigger stronger opponent is Daniel Craig's Bond vs Dave Bautista's Hinx in the movie: Spectre.

      Fun fact: there was a legal dispute between game Cage's motion capture actor and the game studio that made MK. He did motion capture for a character in a rival (MK clone) fighting game and did advertising for it where he "brilliantly" called out MK as the inferior series. Sadly for him, he got black balled by the MK studio AND the game he was in flopped horribly. So when they went to make MK3, they nixes Cage's role in the series by killing him off, thereby no longer needing his actor and to also rub lemon juice and salt in the motion capture actor's wounds

    Can we take a minute to appreciate the music for Johnny cages scenes, Absolutely perfect and fits the cocky confident demeanor. This is where you fall down. 25 years later this is still one of the best and funniest fight scenes ever. Linden Ashby killed it as Johnny Cage....criminally underrated. And is it just me or is the 1995 Goro way better looking and way more realistic than the 2021 Goro?

      Nah it's not just you.
      CGI trash is a CGI trash, and the new film is full of CGI trash. The only good thingd about that film are Scorpion and SubZero, and they are in there for 15 minutes combined.

      @@kaihedgie1747 I disagree. Other than Reptile, the CGI was better implemented in the original.
      The film itself was fun, funny and captured the spirit of the games almost completely(more gore would make it perfect).
      The characters were better and more likeable, the music was better, fights were better.
      If this new MK was about Scorpion and Sub Zero, it would rock.
      Unfortunately those 2 can't hold a 2 hour film because they're in it for 5 minutes. Those 5 minutes of theirs are the only worthy parts.

He attacks his oponents weakest point, runs away, and ambushes him from behind. basicialy he does everything normal egocentric person would find not-cool and shamefull. And in the end, what he does, makes one of the most badass scenes in the movie - earning him all the glory

      Notice also that this scene is mirroring the beginning where he was filming the action-movie scene. Same music, same shots, same dialogue ("alright, let's dance...", "this is where you fall down") etc. It really was him getting over his ego and realizing his dream of being a true hero (which he was trying to achieve through his movies yet the press made fun of him). Goro crushing his glasses also "shatters his ego" and he realizes the stakes are real this time and it's no longer the same scene as in the beginning, and if he tries to mimic his movie-persona he'll lose.
