Fun Fact 2: The original motive for Scorpion and Subzero working together was written that they were friends. But members of the Test Audience didn't like how this didn't feel true to the lore, so the director had Shang Tsung say how they were "Deadliest of enemies, but slaves under my power."

Kano was played by Trevor Goddard who sadly died in 2003. He was also a mercenary in another cult classic called Deep Rising with Treat Williams. Goddard's last cinematically released role was in Pirates Of The Caribbean, and his only line was "Say goodbye" to which Orlando Bloom replies "Goodbye". Edit: Robin Shou was an absolute weapon on this movie... he would judge how good his fight scenes were by how many of his own bones got broken, and would do takes repeatedly until he got injured... just to make the movie look better.

Brandon Lee, originally, was going to play either Liu Kang or Johnny Cage, but sadly this would never happen as Lee died of an accidental gunshot wound to the chest in 1993, a whole year before production for the movie started. Steven Spielberg, a huge fan of the video game, was going to have a Cameo in the movie as Cage's director, but he turned it down and a look alike was hired instead. Cameron Diaz was cast as Sonya Blade, but dropped out after she broke her wrist during training. Brigette Wilson was cast in the role.

And I also believe most fan wanted fights, the characters they knew and loved, and an actual MK rather than the laughable "family drama" of the remake. And about the fights, yes they were not as spectacular (or bloody) as the one from the games (or the remake), but they did it MOSTLY practical, with the limitations of their budget and the SFX of the time (as far as I'm concerned, the puke inducing 'quality' of the SFX from the sequel proves that they did a good job with this one 😱🤣!!).

The film was kind of aimed at fans who knew the lore from the first 3 games and MK Trilogy, as well as the comics. Unfortunately they relied too much on people knowing the lore which is why the story was a bit convoluted. Johnny and Sonya slowly developed a relationship through the lore where he was hell bent in rescuing her from the Emperor. Liu and Kitana where one of those will they won't they loves due to circumstances of their situations. These were ignored for the film to focus on the fights which worked against it. However to many young fans, including myself, we loved it when it released.

This is still my favorite video game movie overall!! Love it, you can tell the guys who made this are MK fans. Long live MK man! Also, FYI the Johnny Cage nut punch is one of his signature moves from the game and inspired by Van Damme from Bloodsport (the whole point of Johnny Cage's concept) that wasn't in there for pure comedy purposes but I can see how normies would think that.😅 I can tell these two are a little lost because they're not familiar with the canon in the games....even in the games story fights were almost random at times, it's organized better than this movie but it's pretty much just fight after fight. Kitana was helping Earthrealm more specifically Liu Kang because she saw that he was good and strong enough to beat Shang Tsung, her realm of Edenia was taken over and merged with Outworld by Shao Kahn which she explains but I take it Roxy missed that part. Deep down she despises Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung. She was forcibly adopted by Shao Kahn and ordered to work with Shang Tsung. The reason why they couldn't do any brutal, gory fatalities is due to the time period catering to the younger demographic in the 90's compared to now. Christopher Lambert, Cary and Linden Ashby are in a lot of stuff. Liu Kang and Kitana really just started liking each other here they develop more in the next movie and as Roxy says "makey outey" lol in one scene they do almost kiss but get interrupted.

This was a big deal for all the Mortal Kombat players back in the day. I saw this in the theaters and loved it. I think it came out after MK2 was already out. MK song was a big hit and sold a lot more CD's than they thought it would. People now it might say its cheesy and it is but unless you were there for this special time history....its hard to understand why we loved the movie. Hearing the name Mortal Kombat makes me feel like a kid playing in the arcade.

@@petewillson205 LOL/ The blood in Sega was the only really good thing about having a Sega. Everyone hated the MK2 machines at the arcade because the computer was too hard to play against....expect there was a trick no one really knows about the MK2 machines. If you play on the player 2 side.....the machine wont throw you and lets you win most of the time.

@@petewillson205 imagine if Nintendo allow for blood to be in the Mk games. Sega would have taken a big hit. Thats true.....Sega was a marketing machine. I think thats why it lasted as long as it did. I love Sega but if you're had to pick between a Nintendo or a Sega.....my brother always pick the wrong system....if it was between Nintendo or Sega Master system.....he picks Sega. PlayStation or Sega Saturn...he gets the Saturn. PlayStation or Atari Jaguar....he gets the Jaguar. I'm like "Whats wrong with you!?" I've always been for PlayStation guy but the truth is I never bought or owned any PlayStation. Lol

Does John realise he can do a reaction without trying to crack a joke every 5 seconds. And the guy playing Johnny Cage has done a lot. He was even in Resident Evil 3 film and was a main star in the Teen Wolf series.

He doesn't joke that often . The way it's edited just makes it seem that way. Plus, reactions are meant for reactions, not watching people silently watch videos. John likes to joke in his commentary , and that's his style. He makes plenty of serious analysis as well.

When Diaz arm healed up she got the roll for The Mask with Jim Carey Also, Chris Cassamassa (Scorpion) is a legendary martial artist, during the filming his most famous student was Jason David Frank
