Look! It has begun...
IT HAS BEGUN.
Scorpion and Sub-Zero...deadliest of enemies, but slaves under my power.
>Christopher Lambert contributed significantly to the film, both in terms of production and finances. The budget was very tight and stretched so thin by the shoot that the production couldn't afford to fly Lambert to Thailand and provide room and board, thus Lambert's shooting was to be done in an LA studio after principal photography, with Raiden only to appear in the opening of the film. Lambert however offered to pay for his own entire trip if it meant the producers could add more Raiden scenes as they had intended. On top of this, the budget was so maxed by the end of the shoot that the producers couldn't afford a wrap party. Lambert paid for an extravagant wrap party for the cast and crew out of his own pocket.
American life has enfeebled his mind. Too much television.
>There are several easter eggs contained within the credits, including an arcade code for MK3 and Goro being credited as playing himself.
>In keeping with the above, film producer Lawrence Kasanoff would often speak of Goro as if he were real, talking about how difficult it was for the crew to appease him on set, notably in the Behind the Dragon special. He also joked that Goro could not have scenes in Thailand, as the government refused due to the devastation he brought to the country long ago.

>On 7 June 2003, Goddard was found dead in his home in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. He was 40 years old. Initial reports indicated that Goddard was in the process of getting a divorce and that suicide was suspected. An autopsy later showed that Goddard died from a drug overdose of heroin, cocaine, temazepam and vicodin.
Damn, RIP Kano.
>Robin Shou helped choreograph many of his fight scenes due to his experience in Hong Kong cinema. Instead of the credited choreographer, Pat Johnson, Shou was the lead choreographer for the Johnny Cage/Scorpion and Liu Kang/Reptile fights. In addition to this, Shou also helped conceptualize and design Scorpion's lair, which he based on Tibetan burial tombs. Shou fractured two ribs during his fight with Reptile, but continued on until the scenes were shot.
>On the DVD's French soundtrack, the part of Raiden is also voiced by Lambert, who is fluent in the language.
>During the Week of August 26, 1995 on Season 9, Episode 41 of "At the Movies," Siskel and Ebert reviewed "Mortal Kombat" (along with Desperado, Dangerous Minds, Beyond Rangoon, Lord of Illusions, The Tuskegee Airmen).
>Siskel said it was one of the best video game to movie adaptations and the only decent one he's seen. He noted Rayden's voice had a synthesizer treatment. The fighting (kickboxing is preferred style) is Hong Kong style - Asian vs a goon. The special effects were sensational, locations Asian-exotic, the characters were drawn to feeling types but the fighting in the back half of film got in the way. It left him tempted to play the game for the first time.
>Ebert, on the other hand, chose to basically ignore the film altogether. He said it was dark, the theater must have been saving money on electricity and he cannot give it a thumbs up. Siskel says it was the theater not the film so don't blame the film. Ebert recalled when he left the theater that the kids were disappointed as the killings were not sensational as they were in the game. Overall, Ebert had a better time than he thought watching it since he already assumed it would be aweful.

>Before the film, Kano was portrayed as a Chinese-American. Developers Ed Boon and John Tobias were so taken with the late Trevor Goddard's performance that Kano slowly shifted over time and multiple titles to match his appearance, mannerisms and accent as in the film, most notably in Mortal Kombat Armageddon which featured him speaking with an Australian accent for the first time. This carred over into MK vs DC, MK9 and MKX.
>This is somewhat ironic, because the actor Trevor Goddard was British-born and only claimed to be Australian for his roles.
>The line, "Hello baby, did you miss me?" was apparently very popular with the crew of the film, who would often quote it off-camera, according to Kasanoff and Savitch as explained during the audio commentary.
Here's a small detail you may have never noticed about a background character in the film.
>>85546236
Why wasn't he in part 2?
>>85547110
autism
>>85547110
Because he wouldn't be around for the filming of the only good scene in it.
>>85546236
Based.
>>85545113
Punch him in the dick
>>85547080
Are those monks dead? Why are they living in a island?
>The worst injury on the film was when Linden Ashby mildly bruised his kidney in one of his fight scenes.
>>85547223
>bruised his kidney
How?
EAH... TO EAH
>>85546236
What a fucking class act.
>all that crappy mid 90's CGI in scenes that didn't need it
the films one flaw
>>85547260
Taking a hit, presumably. It was during the Scorpion fight.
>>85547303
I disagree. I find the SFX endeering.
>>85546236
It really says something when he put that much effort to the first and then read the second script and told them to fuck off.
>>85546236
i already like him but wow what a good dude
>>85546236
ah yes, le classic based Lambert party classic switcheroo
>pretend le buffet is all out of minirolls and tostino

>>85547406

You just know.

YOU. JUST. KNOW.
>>85546904
His accent in the MK film just sounded like a stereotypical London hardman too, couldn't really pull off an Australian accent though Americans aren't hard to fool where accents are concerned.
>>85547513
Underrated James Bond girl.

He was a good English lad who sadly took his own life because of a woman.
Fine piece of ess

Why are MK threads so good?
>>85543866
why didn't she do more kino, /tv/?
>>85549526
Because MK is objectively the best video game movie ever
>>85543866
In this day and age she wouldve kicked his ass in 5 seconds.
>>85549584
shit, forgot pic
Scott Adkins should be the new Kano.
>>85545113
Jesus Christ the casting in this movie was on the fucking ball.
>>85549628
An entire generation of men were already raw as it was.
>>85549696
Indeed.
>>85546236
Confession: I never liked his Raiden voice, sounded like he was choking dick. The sequel is hot garbage but James Remar had an infinitely better voice.
>>85547348
He made that mistake once before. He wasn't about to repeat it.
>>85549729
damn that nip has a big ol' booty

If he could do an American accent he could be Johnny Cage
>>85547148
More of a chestlet than MKX Mileena
>>85550086
this would actually be legit kino Tbh
>>85550086
He's played Americans before in his films. Good on screen fighter too.

i watched this again kind of on a whim last weekend.
It really is surprising how good this actually is. the set design and the lighting in particular gives this flick some solid as fuck aesthetics. and the dude who plays Shang gloriously chews the scenery.
>>85550086
what if Keanu Raiden instead? Cage is getting too old for this shit, granted it would be a lot funnier.
>>85550335
>gloriously
I went as Raiden for Halloween the year this came out. What a fucking dank movie.
>>85550335
>It really is surprising how good this actually is. the set design and the lighting in particular gives this flick some solid as fuck aesthetics. and the dude who plays Shang gloriously chews the scenery.
I unironically adore the sets in this film. I love thinking about all the statues in the gardens, wondering what warriors they might have been in past lives.
such a good film. watched it on vhs so many times as a kid
>that scene where they kick over the tables in the dining room so subzero can freeze-kill some lad
never again will there be such vidya kino, it kinda hurts
>>85550335
>It really is surprising how good this actually is
The main is the fight scenes are good, which is what you want from a fight film. This is where the Street Fighter movie failed so hard.
>>85550449
The craziest thing is this guy went on to do the Resident Evil movies. The way they play out he should've done Devil May Cry. His style fits way better in that universe.
>>85550086
>John Cena Stryker
>>85550535
>American raping a Japanese property heavily influenced and choreographed from anime
>>85550515
yeah exactly.
the whole movie is a monument to just keeping shit simple and entertaining. It achieves everything it sets out to do.

>>85550086
Johnny Rico as the new Johnny Cage seemed like an amazing choice.
>>85545239
>>85549795
That was more watchable than 3, 4 or 5.
>For much of his career, he claimed to be of Australian descent[2] and often played Australian characters.
Why did he want to be Australian so badly? Is being a pom that bad?
>>85547260
>>85547306
The fight scene with Chris Casamassa would be extremely painful.
>>85554400
It fits Kano's nasty yet relaxed personality. Seriously have you ever seen the Aussie shitposters here and on /pol/?

Literally the coolest Frenchman since Lafayette.
>>85555000
They were the most intense, fastest, and violent scenes. It literally felt like you breaking bones.
Oh and well done with your repeating numbers.
