what does that have to do with John Wick being sold on Keanu Reeves? And suddenly we're talking about the drawing power of SUPERMAN. Its fukking SUPERMAN.
ya know what, you've completely lost the plot and are clearly just focused on last word and scoring points even if you now have no thread of what you're talkinga bout, so i'm done here.
It's pretty fukkin simple man
Karl Urban HAS ZERO to make this bigger draw its Mortal Fukkin Kombat
He's already over fukkin 50, has no martial arts background to speak of and "throw in generic poor man's Van Damme" and it would be much fukkin better. From a fan standpoint someone who had a marital arts background meant they were serious with Johnny fukkin Cage (who was based on Van Damme)
At least Keanu had The Matrix training under his belt. Name ONE role Urban has to suggest he'll be remotely believable fighting high level hand to to hand combat. He's literally going to look like Matt Damon did in the Bourne movies a bunch of quick cutaways where it's obvious that a stunt double took place
Not a fukkin soul knew who Robin Shou or Linden Ashby was (which was originally gonna be Brandon Lee) and it's much more believable. At least Ashby was a fukkin black belt.
The idea you need a high level thespian for this role is hilarious. Mortal Kombat is Enter the Dragon meets Big Trouble in Little China. Real fukkin high level acting in those flicks
(which I love btw)
You literally have to
- look impressive doing martial arts
- crack a funny one liner
- and look in shape with a cutoff or shirt off
Aka Adkins or Moussi
I mean shyt you got Taslim a Judo champion as Sub-Zero and Hyroyuki (a world-class martial artist) as Scorpion but it's ok to have a non martial artist as Johnny Cage
. Even Lewis Tan awful acting ass is legit.
At wanting Urban over this dude
Or this
At Karl Urban being in the same planet as Reeves.
I watch anything Mortal Kombat. Thought it would be nice to get an Dune level Outworld Mortal Kombat with slightly better casting.
lol
