 Digg.com Facebook Google Bookmarks N4G Gamerblips del.icio.us Reddit Slashdot.org StumbleUpon I used to have one of those typical late 80's martial arts obsessed types living next door to me, and he loved the Mortal Kombat film. He also loved the fact that Christopher Lambert was Raiden...
Despite the first one not being very good, at least it was (moderately) faithful to the game... apart from the ripping out lungs and what not.
More than Street Fighter anyway... Just checked out Lawrence Kasanoffs Wikipedia page...
The joys of Wik eh? *shrugs*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Kasanoff i thought the 2nd movie was a damn sight better than the first but they were both still shite. what was to be expected though, the game series peaked at MK2. after that they were just flogging a dead horse and the same could be said of the TV series.
any film made from a beat-em-up has no chance of being any good, look at the 2 Streetfighter movies and Dead or Alive (has anyone actually seen that, i don't even think its been on Sky Movies yet?). the only decent media that's done the genre any justice has been anime, and even they're only watchable at best (just to see Chunners jugs in the unedited version). if only the Legend of Chun Li had followed this it might have been savable. Kristen Kreuck's baps might have made this a hollywood blockbuster. Out of all game-related movies, the only two CLOSE to their digital counterparts were Mortal Kombat 1 and Postal (the latter being insanely as bad as the game was)
Errmm...I agree MK should stay with Midway, but this guy isn't responsible for the popularity of the videogame, the videogame and the team dedicated to providing top-quality MK entertainment are.
Lol on the wiki "(he sucks hard)" splashed everywhere. You gotta love wikihacks :P What a plum. For this guy to claim they invented many of the characters, yeesh...
Also, I quite liked the first movie. The second was a F*CKING TRAVESTY however... I must be strange I liked the 2nd movie more than the 1st also I like dmc2 when no one else did its the best in the series 4 was complete crap. So without Midway the series would have been the success it has been? Utter crap....... the stench of sour grapes and a meal ticket fills the air.... come on Pal everyone knows the best DMC was the first one.
I think the first MK movie was the best. anyone ever see that god awful tv series that used to be on sci fi. yech! |
