Mortal Kombat(1995): An Oral History

[Soymuscle Mike]

Glad it's been mentioned a few times, but when the announcer went REPTILE

I was 10 years old when this came out and had to go with my brother and his boys, I think that was the first time I gained their respect for knowing all the characters.

When Raiden showed up and backed down Scorpion /Sub Zero

Mortal Kombat was huge as fukk in the early 90s
I was a kid so it's was crazy seeing MK every where Games , Toys, Movies

The arcades was always packed for MK2

I still don't remember Street Fighter being that popular , it had hype but MK came thru and flushed it out


Didn't know Street Fighter was popular until I got older

Yeah, the MK movie was the first time I went to the movies and the place was hype as fukk. That Reptile fight just tore the place down because it was completely unexpected. Definitely a 10/10 movie experiences.

Like the old heads like me said in here. As a kid the movie theater experience was top notch for this. They added a simple enjoying story to the violence that didnt drift to far from the material and gave fans exactly what they wanted.

The reptile fight was so dope because when we 1st see reptile he is a fukkin gecko hiding on the wall and we all like ahhhh really ?!? So when he got that upgrade we were hyped!!


Thats why annihilation was so disappointing because the 1st one nailed it for fans expected. Instead of making it a tournament it turned into a bad cosplay action movie and the fights didnt make sense

It's that season

I remember this was showing on tv one day and they cut that line out

 

[ChuckTaylor84]

Saw this in theaters back in the day!

I remember it getting a round of applause at the end!

Then MK2 happened, it was the worst video game movie in existence. The Legend of Chun Li was better by comparison (both being shyt of course). Hollywood scored multiple home runs with MK1, then they made it way too family friends and the casting was god awful.

Thought it was I'll.
