Annihilation felt like a porn parody of MK but with fight scenes instead of sex.
The plot is too bad for porn
Still has two hot girls rolling in mud...
How
No, that was the sex.
DadySweet how it was sex
The dude that's Baraka in Annihilation is married to the lady that cuts my hair
@@echolalia682 ouch
Ask him about Sindel
Please tell me the scissors come out of her forearms
@@echolalia682 If op is referring to Dennis Keiffer, the actor who portrayed Baraka in Annihilation, he's actually a rather famous stunt man, with a net worth of over $9 million. Surely we aren't talking about the same guy, right?
Idk being Baraka in any official source/media is pretty cool
Scorpion screaming “Suckers!!” was the most unintentionally hilarious moment of the entire movie.
Linden Ashby after reading the script: “Page 62 Johnny Cage dies. Is someone high?”
they only paid him for a week. got to use his face in marketing. welcome to hollywood.
And now Linden Ashby can say the line in MK11 with the new DLC pack.
@@linnies.3684 Oh yeah it’s all coming together now.
@@linnies.3684 wait did they use the actor from the first movie to voice mk11 johnny?
@@PrinceIsot yup
Johnny Cage had all the best lines in the first movie:
" I'm going to go to my trailer, I'm gonna get a gun and Im going to shoot myself for being in your movie."
" Thank God I didn't ask him to park the car"
"Those are 500 dollar sunglasses, asshole"
"I'm in a hostile environment. I'm totally unprepared. And I'm surrounded by a bunch of guys who probably want to kick my ass...its like being back in high school"
'This is the part where you fall down.'
"Cup the sack, stroke with the other hand and suck as hard as you can"... Wait! I don't think I'm thinking of MK...
@gratuitious lurking dangit you beat me to it lol
A big part of what made his character so memorable is that the actors had a lot of input on their lines and actions while the script was still being written, and Linden Ashby especially took advantage of this to improvise some of his better lines, including, "Those were 500 dollar sunglasses, asshole!"
Sometimes that's the sort of thing you need for a movie's success, rather than a single director's "perfect vision."
" When a woman look at you like that..it usually means something."
Paul W.S. "I married my own OC" Anderson.
I died.
Sorry, can someone explain the joke to me thanks?
DarkPhoenixSaga Paul Anderson is married to Milla Jovovich. Every movie that has the two together, Paul is the director and Milla plays the lead (who is usually a badass Mary Sue character that overshadows everyone else, the Resident Evil movies being the best example.) Milla Jovovich’s character in Resident Evil is more or less a creation of Paul Anderson.
@@kaydee66781 Oh ok thank you so much.
Can someone tell me what OC stands for here?
@@AlexRN Original Creation or Character.
This movie had a BIGGER budget than the first? You're joking.
Yea but most of it was apparently spent on massive amounts of coke and NOT the drinkable kind, LMAO!
yea considering the costumes looked worse than the first movie it is surprising
All spent on lousy cgi, how amusing.
it was all the rage in the late 90's. producers and directors got to say "fix it in post" about 100 times more. early cgi was always a mess. it took a wizard to get the most out of it. you couldn't just throw money behind it. and many did. george lucas comes to mind.
there is a reason pixar is still a thing. now anyone can pump money to get good cgi. its so common place there are cgi farms in asia. but it still takes a wizard to get what we get. that's called talent.
Actually the "SUCKEEEEEERS" line is probably my favorite thing in the movie not just because it's so random but because in my mind, this is what the studio was telling to the entire movie cast as well as to the fans
I love that the actor for Johnny Cage gave the most Johnny Cage critiques of the movie "You can't do that the fans will go that's not them. The movie was stupid" I can see Cage saying that kinda stuff.
Yeah, that would be the exact same reaction Johnny Cage would have to all of this
Props to Linden Ashby
I mean. While is more of a gag,The others characters always complains about jonhy cage movies. Kabal in particular thinks the sequels to "ninja mime" were bullshit. Seems like even in universe jonnhy doesnt have much sucess in his movies XD
@@viniciusraraujo he didn't say he dislikes the original, though
That, and everybody else seem to know them, too
@@Pol74698 thats what I am saying,They like the first movie but aparently the sequels were bad(according to a few characters)
Linden slapping on his method acting for that one lol
Scorpion's "SUCKERS" was to the fans who loved the 1st movie
Accurate as hell lol
😭😭😭😭😭
Which is worse:
"SUCKERS" or his dab in MK11?
👋💥🤕here's a slap in your face Mortal Kombat fans oh
Crazy Larry you suck.
That's how I felt like continuing to watch it rather than get a refund. I think they pulled the idea of making Raiden young again because that's what they did in highlander 2! ( Lambert laughing)
My dad took me to see Annihilation when it came out, which was shortly after my 10th birthday. Before that fateful night, I had no concept of what a bad movie was. Annihilation popped my cherry. Also, my mind is blown by the revelation that all along Hurricane Katrina was God's way of saving us from a 3rd one.
The Super Mario Bros. movie popped mine. LOL
Mine was Dragon Ball: Evolution
@@ledgendweaver Lorax for me. Lots of movies I didn't wanna see, but I wanted to see that one and I couldn't get halfway through without walking out. Was too annoying for me to enjoy making fun of.
Double Dragon was my first ever realization that I was watching a "bad movie". I asked my dad to take me to go see it and I was hyped. I was a huge Double Dragon fan back in the day and beat em ups and fighting games were my favorite genres as a kid. The second I saw who was playing Billy Lee....I knew we had a problem. To me Double Dragon will always be the worst video game movie of all time. As bad as Annihillation is...it at least ATTEMPTS to resemble some form of it's source material in some way. Double Dragon on the other hand appears to assign well know titles to characters at random who in no way resemble characters from the game outside of their gender
I'm sorry your dad did that to you, but admit it, you liked it a little.
Oh, the movie popped your cherry....
Nm
That litigation thing is absolutely insane. "Yeah we didn't create the characters but we kind of made up stuff for our movies so we should own them now and also we should get 40 billion dollars for the IP that we didn't create".
they actually have a point. in comics for example people say bob Kane created batman on his own but bill finger created so many things about batman like the bat cave and cape and so on that people see him as just as much a creator as bob kane who first thought of the idea of a person named batman
@@blueprint7 your example doesn't bold water, nor does it support your assertion that "they have a point".
@@blueprint7 Damn near everything for mk in the first 4 games was made by John tobias. The characters did have some personality and midway expanded the lore. What the litigation dude was saying is false. And batman was a RIP off of The Shadow around bill fingers time.
@@ramseydoon8277 thats not an argument. please come back when you have one
@@TheRealDarth_Vader what does batman in your opinion being a ripoff matter? also, I already explained my case with my batman example. did John Tobias make the movies?. please keep up
The fact that most of the MK footage is just characters jump kicking people to death is very endearing to me.
It’s how the pros play. Then always do an uppercut instead of a fatality.
And the occasional jump kick into low sweep against the wall. That's that good shit.
@@CAMZAB Mortal Kombat Trampolination
Hey man, jump 3 or 4 is a strong move.
It's how I got thru them old games😂
I only just realized the tagline for this film is "Destroy All Expectations" *Yikes*
One Giant Step on the Franchise.
Haha, if only we did so back then... ...
Welp, they succeeded.
Nice.
Oh... my... gods! This is the movie that inspired Rian Johnson...
Hey, Warner Bros replaced Batman constantly and it still worked.
Batman and Robin: 1997
Mortal Kombat Annihilation: 1997
Ha................
Oh that was a sign.....
15:04 scorpion yelling "SUCKERS!" is the best line in the movie lol.
Well Larry did do everything that he promised. We did get a movie, a TV show, a animated TV show and a stage show.
@@orcatwar9810 Forgot about that
I saw that stage so one Sunday after church it was fucking terrible lol
I did the job, Boss!
IHHUWAA - nah man, it was sweet. You just had to use your imagination.
"You're full of shit, it's just a fucken videogame" LOL
Larry Kasanoff...WE ARE STARTING THIS WITH THE GUY WHO MADE FOODFIGHT?!?! Oh God nooooooo...
I didn't know that until Matt revealed it towards the end and it was like a punch to the gut. I was not prepared. Holy fuck.
He also did the first Mortal Kombat animation movie
Oh, I already knew about Crazy Larry when I read up on Foodfight. I was surprised when his named turned out to be attached to this stinker, but in hindsight, it makes a ton of sense.
Also, last I heard, he was working on a Tetris move _trilogy._ Yeah.
Kasanoff makes a valid point about Mortal Kombat. The lore is there, and its enough to carry the concept through a successful film, or multiple, given the right care, which I think we can all agree Kasanoff himself didn't bring, but if brought, could absolutely make a successful Mortal Kombat product.
Apparently Larry is making a Tetris trilogy. I’m not too sure though since we didn’t get any new information so the movie is probably canceled thank god.
I found it funny that there was a different actress playing Mileena, looking nothing like Kitana, which makes the line "Kitana?" "You Wish!" completely pointless and stupid.
Or not having Kitana in said scene explain things so that line would make sense
And also *WHAT IN THE FUCK WAS THAT CGI SKINLESS BOWSER ABOMINATION*
I died when dude said “my name is Shang tsung”
Me too. LOL
Lol what show was this?
@@bigjr1979 that was from the MK Live Tour. Feast your eyes!
czcams.com/video/nbOQIheheDc/video.html
Shang song
It's a crime they killed off Johnny Cage. Linden Ashby was one of the best parts of that original movie. I remember watching Annihilation in theaters and as soon as they killed off Cage, 10 year old me was like "Well, I'm out. They killed the best character."
Too bad...that would have been a cool thing if Johnny Cage survives and goes on to fight until the end...unfortunately, even if he is there, if the film stinks, then everybody gets ruined and their opportunity to last long in Hollywood is terminated
A recasted Johnny Cage surviving wasn't going to save this shit movie lol
Killed him off so they wouldn't have to pay a working actor SLIGHTLY more...still unbelievable.
Katana: Mother, you're alive!
Sindel: Too bad you will die!
That dialogue right there is what killed the movie for me!
It’s like the dialogue was written by a elementary student
The emphasis the actress put in the *YOU*
@@thatonepersonainp5793 It was delivered flawlessly.

I can't believe goddamn MOTARO of all characters is one of the least-awful-looking effects in this movie.
And God knows how ugly he is in that movie !!
@@younsmal4873 Nah he looked great considering the times. Everyone else looked like they got their costumes from a Cosplay flea market.
@@RobotHau5 Come on !!! Centaurs where looking better in Hercules series. I really hate Motaro's design in that movie.
And that fucking Sheeva design.... just what the fuck
@@Sonichero151 She's got black hair.

Yes...
"What do you do?!?"

"Get over here. You've been promoted to camera man"

@@KootenaiKing lmfao. Just dont hurt nobody now, ya hear🤔😭
So do your hands work? They do?! *BOOM* You're my new director of photography!
🤣🤣🤣
I think James Rolf was accurate when he said “It’s shit, but it’s amazing.”
Golden Trash is still Trash
Alex Mercer I thought it meant is was so bad that the fun came from the irony of it.
3:11 Jesus, Shang tsung has seen better days he looks less like "your soul is mine" and more like "The gameshow prize is mine"
@Raoul Ricca XD
@UC76vRvlcF1Ya_nLBRQs1wZg Well he definitely looks like something just not a sorcerer or a gangster
@@lipstickzombie4981 MK3 Shang is the worst. If he didn't say his name was Shang I wouldn't even know who that was.
@@NSFSponsor Never mind, we have Cary Tagawa in the actual game now!
To be honest I thought he was Nightwolf for a second.
Say what you will about Larry Kasanoff, it is commendable that he saw this series and immediately was very interested in doing something with it. The first movie IS still well regarded and was a success. He did NOT stick the landing AT ALL, but he was clearly on to something.
Another big hurt was how many really talented martial artists were involved in the first movie. From Francois Petit, Chris Cassamassa, Kieth Cooke, Hakim Alston, and more.
The movie was studded with people who at least knew how to fight/move.
I really think Matt should do a Wha Happun? On Epic Mickey 2, it made Disney shut down an entire game studio.
Hell, Epic Micky as a whole. Warren Spector promised a lot of things and the concept art was amazing. But the problem is that Disney and their Test Audience looked at Thinner Mickey and shut down the whole idea of that. SO! The Thinner Mechanic has no purpose, because you don't see Mickey turning into an evil rat drawing.
I would "Like" this multiple times.
@@thenegromancer4695 What does the Wii have to do with it?
THE NEGROMANCER Epic Mickey 2 was also ported to Wii U, PS3, and Xbox 360.
Epic Mickey 1 was alright, but then Epic Mickey 2 apparently turned into a musical with forced co-op. *No thank you.*
When you read that lawsuit, my jaw just about dropped into my lap. Holy mother of Raiden, the brass balls on that Kasanof guy to claim essentially the entirety of the Mortal Kombat universe wouldn't have been what it was without his shitbag movie.
I think you should have said "By the elder gods"
Sadly,he didn’t consult with the elder gods
It's so fucking bullshit, but when you think about it... he is kinda right in some ways.
Midway did change a number of characters based on what the first movie did with them and gave them more defining personalities that weren't really expanded on in the games at that point, one of the most notable being Kano. It's still happening to this very day with the newest Mortal Kombat game using the first MK Movie design for Shang Tsung and it's honestly one of the best designs for him ever in my opinion at least.
So while I think this lawsuit would have failed spectacularly and the idea behind it in the first place is pure bullshit, it does have *some* legs to stand on at least but not enough to steal the whole franchise from the owners.
@@rikowolfin4984 It'd be a little bit like Tim Burton claiming he was the real creator of Batman because he was the guy who invented Batman having a grapple gun or Gotham City looking all spooky. Sure, he contributed, and a lot of his ideas made it back into the original medium, but that's not the same thing as inventing something.
It's Ken Penders levels
@6:09
"...basically dodging a bullet but then stepping right into the path of a harpoon"
Can't say any better myself.
To be fair, Larry claiming he made serious changes and expanded the Mortal Kombat universe isn't exactly wrong. Particularly with regards to Kano, whose movie incarnation was so popular that the games rewrote the entire character to match.
Me: “Wait, Larry Kasanoff? Why does that name sound familiar...”
F O O D F I G H T
Me: “OH NOOOOOOOO”
Oh, I hate this.
Explains everything
@Wow so Edgy One of the worst animated movies of all time.
@@Tareltonlives Biggest scam in Hollywood history is more like it.
*we have such sights to show you*
"everyone wants to see their favorite characters fight"
*mixes up Smoke and Sektor*
I do like them but I wouldn't say they're my favorites, just pointing out that they go on about fanservice being the point of stuffing so many characters in the movie when nobody was like "hey maybe smoke's not the guy who shoots missiles"
Because he never did in the games? The games seem to make a point of every cyborg having their own thing going on, even MK9(Maybe one of the PS1-PS2 games before it, but my memory of those is fuzzy at best) basically established the (named) cyborgs abilities are an extension of what they were like before being cyberized(When Sub-Zero is cyberized instead of Smoke, he has ice themed abilities for example). I know that wasn't well established back when Annihilation came out, but this scene coulda had Sektor and barely been changed. Hell the scene coulda not even been in the movie and nothing would've changed, but still.
@@ThePinkestCatgirl cyrax at that point in story wasn't even a villain, but they skipped a lot of story
The way MK ended. It set up Annihilation so damn good. It should have been as good or better then the original. But we all know what happend 💩
Oh definitely
LOVED THAT ENDING. Especially with the MK theme music afterwards.
17:01 how did the lady playing Sindel feel after that scene? I kinda feel sorry for her, every time bad video game movies are referenced, this is the scene that comes up😔 (she's low-key kinda hot though)
Kinda? She was bonafide hot as fuck. Who wouldn't want her screaming that screech while she rides ya.... lol lawlzzz
@@jbo4547 you're messed up
Don't Worry Musetta had roles after that, I doubt she cares.
To be fair, there's basically no way you could make a line like that work.
ok now that you've mentioned foodfight we NEED a wha happen on it
I second this
What DIDN'T happen?
the answer to why is money
FOOD FIGHT FOOD FIGHT FOOD FIGHT!!!!!
When Black Lightning first started airing and I noticed James Remar was playing the hero's gadget dude, I almost yelled "Oh shit, that's Raiden! I mean, the second Raiden!"
I'm happy at least someone from the film continued to get work after it.
He also played the protagonist’s adoptive father in “Dexter”
And Ajax in "The Warriors." Both the movie and the video game.
@@Sal_Sal27 fuck yeah
James also starred alongside JCVD in The Quest
"And hey, Warner Bros. replaced batman constantly and it still works!"
Imagine being this out of touch.
Worked with Robert Pattinson :)
"This is like Star Wars meets Enter the Dragon." - No one. Absolutely no one. Except ol' Larry, apparently.
I sure hope he meant that entirely metaphorically, but seeing other things he has said, I doubt it.
@@shawnfields2369 You are right in everything you have said.... but perhaps Darth Vader with a red beam katana could be how Star Wars stays relevant. Hehehe.
I get the Enter The Dragon bit, but I swear the Star Wars one still confuses me to all hell.
A big problem was Lawrence Kassanoff co-wrote this, you should read up on his animated feature Food Fight that was a huuuuge disaster and proved he was out of his goddamn mind.
Foodfight?
DEAR GOD NO
Cocaine and taxes
The problem is that much of the plot scenes were never filmed
A big problem was *lawrence kassanoff*
"...and hey, Warner Bros replaced Batman constantly and it still works"
**Looks at Val Kilmer**
Umm...
**Looks at George Clooney**
...are you *_sure_* about that?
Well now they are thinking of casting the New Batman with Robert Pattison. The sparkly Twilight Vampire.
@@kmcfarland I guess I'll just be sticking with the animated Batman movies from now on then.
Kilmer was good as Batman. Clooney was a joke, but that was because of Joel “Batnipples” Schumacher’s script too
@@kmcfarland Oh give Pattinson a chance. Sure, Twilight is a big load but his other movies seem to be indie hita
it still sold. but more importantly it sold merch. i still have a mcdonalds glass i got with a happy meal. the animated series was still fresh in our heads. and catwoman. devito as penguin is iconic. yet it's michelle pfeiffer everyone remembers.
fun fact the poster for this movie had the tagline: "annihilating your expectations"
The acting gives new meaning to "porn dialogue".
In fact.... this whole thing looks like a porn parody without the sex thingy...
10/10 would watch again
Lmao at “sex thingy.” Bruh.
Man late 90's was one hell of of a time for MK
[Sindel:TOO BAD YOU WILL have to wait for my DLC trailer.]
PathBeyondTheDark [Sid Vicious:And I have the the Season Pass you have!]
PathBeyondTheDark And now Sindel will be in November because Terminator Dark Fate.
[Arnold:PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN! NOW!]
And they proceeded to butcher her character with an awful retcon.
@@brandonlyon730 I mean, I think those two movies suck, but AT LEAST they got Sindel right.
Sindel: P.S there's a surprise. My very first Retcon, kinda nervous
I will admit, as a prank, I sometimes ask my friends if they want to come over and play Mortal Kombat, but I switch out the game for my DVD copy of Annihilation (I got both movies in the same collection)
That’s the most evil thing I can imagine
That’s a good way to catch a Fatality.
Now that you mentioned it, Food Fight would make a pretty spicy What Happened in my opinion, especially considering a lot of the extremely weird shit that went on behind the scenes, including someone who stole a copy of the film and the fact that Larry said he apparently wanted to make the "Citizen Kane" of animation with this.
I think the answer to the next What Happened is in this episode, Wing Commander. A movie actually directed by the game's creator. What could go wrong?
@@alex_-yz9to true, but at least The Spirits Within was a decent film, despite having next to nothing to do with the games. Wing Commander, on the other hand, is awful in nearly every way.
A movie that has nothing to do with the games...which have nothing to do with each other...hmm....
@@DarkMProductions Final Fantasy does have the potential to take the crown from MK as one of the greatest video game movies ever made, and IM not talking about Spirits Within, or advent children or whatever. Im talking about the fact that every FF title is a self contained story with different references and homages to itself. Thats perfect for a film. Because that gives the writers and directors way more creative freedom to tell any story they want, and all they really have to do is add chocobos, and magic, and maybe name a side character or two after someone.
@@GrimmShadowsII All of the games have nods, and throwbacks to each other, but other than that they are all completely separate stories. plus I wouldnt call anything in FFVIII and FFVII medieval.
Spoony covers it, but man I am curious for the Flophouse treatment.
When you're done with the first Mortal Kombat, skip this abomination and watch Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky, its more of a Mortal Kombat movie than that garbage sequel. Trust me, you wont be disappointed.
I love that movie! Its over the top and silly but in the very very best way possible
lol so true, just pretend the main character is lui kang being sent to a outworld prison
It is also based on a manga and is honestly my favorite manga adaptation
That movie is bananas.
Bananas? Umm, you know what, once you're done with Ricky, watch House 1977.
5:12 The Super Mario ‘Mushroom’ sound is TAKING ME OUT 😂😭🍄
Nice video, very informative, now I feel worse knowing Ashby (Cage) actually wanted to come back and the reason he didn't have a prominent role in the sequel was money issues, when they had a much a larger budget than the first one. Makes you feel great. What a colossal screw up this was.
Much of this info was taken from the book Lights, Camera, Game Over
I'd love to see Wha Happun? Devil May Cry 2
I'd love for someone to go back in time and make it not happen at all.
They changed the timeline to fit DMC5 and they placed DMC2 before DMC4 when the first few trailers for DMC5 came out, as now the timeline is like this: DMC3, DMC1, DMC2, DMC4 and DMC5.
But that also leads to a point where did Lucia go after DMC2 since she was never again mentioned in DMC4 and DMC5? Also the way that they portray Dante it seemed that this was during his "emo" phase after DMC1 where when Vergil (who was possessed by Mundus) "died" making Dante probably depressed as well as his iconic name change "Devils never cry" due to him saying Devils don't have the heart to cry like humans. Though at the end of DMC2 Dante cheered up and stayed in hell as a vacation and came out of it and hung out in the Devil May Cry shop and sobered up but also had his serious side that he shown in DMC4.
The only positive thing I have to say about this movie was that Sonya’s actress was pretty hot.
The song choices were kinda neat, too.
Her name is Sandra Hess, and she was definitely gorgeous in this movie. (She still looks great now, judging by her IMDb headshot.) I'd also put the mud fight between her and Mileena on the list of positives, but really, the entire movie is so awful, it's awesome. The fact that New Line apparently rushed it out before it was finished makes it even more hilarious.
The mud fight was great; two hot martial artists chicks going at it...yum...
But yeah. The movie is crap, though me and the guys managed to enjoy it (with a bottle of high proof wine and some very well-written rules).
@@narutardkyuubi jesus christ
Even as a little kid I knew the flick was bad, but I admittedly loved the hell out of Jax's "What da hell is dat?!" When he first saw Smoke. I will never forgive Johnny Cage being done so dirty though.
The first movie has the most badass theme song that has ever theme songed
Larry Kasanoff: I foresee Mortal Kombat as a multimedia sensation, with movies, tv shows, stage shows, a music album, and more! I want to make this happen and have complete creative control!
Also Larry Kasanoff: The second movie failed because MK4 was rushing the sequel into production, while the TV series and other media were demanding that the movie come out quickly. It was all way too much, and it was really just down to business and money.
Well, if the next Mortal Kombat movie doesn't work out, I'm sure Larry could get a job with Gamefreak.
GF is but a small indie developer. I doubt they would be able to hire more people.
Anybody else notice that Sub Zero's actor was the top henchmen for the Russian mob in the first John Wick?
Outta curiosity I looked Sub Zero's actor up (his name is Keith Cooke) and no, he wasn't a part of John Wick. However, the guy who played the top henchman is called Daniel Bernhardt and amusingly he also starred in MK: Conquest as a character called Siro. They kinda look alike.
@Raider 2747 He is. He hasn't done many movies though, sadly. Would love to see him in action a lil more.
You may as well do one for Wing Commander now. I'd like to see how you get Freddie Prinze Jr. and Matthew Lillard to think a script/movie is bad.
Linden Ashby went on to star in Melrose Place not soon after not being in the sequel, which if anyone had an mom or older sister in the 90's would remember was kinda a big thing.
I actually loved this movie growing up. I watched it more than the first. Now as an adult, I can say I love the first one much more. But, still love Annihilation.
Same. At some point I had watched this so many times I could recite it line by line 😅
The main thing I remember from this movie was a close-up of Jax saying "YEAH! NOW WHAT?!" after he knocked Cyrax through a plate glass window in their fight scene.
Midway: i made this
Threshold: you made this? ... ... i made this
Sounds like an Oversimplified joke.
I just watched both back to back for the first time, while I wasn’t that big a fan of the first one my appreciation for it grew immensely once the sequel was about 5 mins in.
Han Solo was eventually played by someone else, and look 'wha happun' - Solo failed at the box office.
Linden Ashby was right!
Solo also flopped because people were traumatized by The Last Jedi.
Mortal Kombat: Conquest was Okay. I didn't complain, nor did I find it amazing. It filled in my time of doing nothing.
I would compare it to a less polished 'Hercules: the legendary journeys' (and with less memorable lead actors)
@@KainGerc You're spot on. Also, I kept coming back for Kristanna Loken. She's the only one who sorta broke through and made a name for herself.
I was into. I was also bummed that it ended on a cliffhanger
At least it contained Siro, _The Greatest Mortal Kombat Kharacter EVER!!_
/s
That ending was like being told you've won the lottery, then heading to the door with your money before you see 4 guys in ski masks and machine guns walk in.
McMuscles is KILLING IT with the recent uploads. This channel keeps getting better, seriously
Now I really want to see What Happened to Dragonball Evolution.
20th Century Fox happened to it. I've watched fan-made material waaay better than the bs Hollywood put out. #capitalize
Mortal Kombat dilation The plot is basically just kombat time, kombat time
Mortal Kombat: A Nihilism
LMFAO
pretty much
Watching this after three years of it coming out...and maybe I'm insane here, but...this is actually one of my favorite childhood movies! Like, I knew the cgi and acting in this kind of movie was bad? It's like...hmm...one of the best movies to watch on a bad movie night, you know? I loved it!! 👏🏽🔥
"My name is Shang Sung" says Nightwolf
Great timing! They just announced the casting for Jax, Mileena, and Raiden for the new movie.
Really?! This is awesome, 'cause I thought they would only cast characters from MK1! I love Kitana and Mileena! The female ninjas bought for badass and sensuality to the game, and I think Jax is pivotal to Sonya's background since he's her superior to the their Special Forces program.
I would love to see an episode on Batman: Dark Tomorrow. A game that bad just had to have one hell of a juicy story behind it...
The moment Johnny Caged was killed I already checked out immediately.
Just like John Connor in the last 2 Terminator films.
12:56 "I remember there was a scene that I don't believe is even in the movie anymore"
The scene is in the movie. The writer didn't know what scenes ended up in the movie.
When you mentioned that Double Dragon movie I went "I've barely noticed anyone talk about that film lately". Maybe you should talk about that movie for this series sometime.
PS: Do you mind if you put some sources in the description on the next ones?
@@TheShockVox OK, just asking. No need to get nuts!
Oooh yeah, there is a Double Dragon movie. I have to find it.
@@KootenaiKing Warning: Things get weird in that movie, even for Double Dragon.
@@kaylemathewcomendador7614 yeah I vaguely remember it. Not much because it was so long ago that I watched it.
That movie hurt me badly cause it wasn't based on the show and the characters didn't match at all
"special" effects. Good Job larry. I'm going to put this RIGHT on the refrigerator
"I am Shang Tsung"
Go Home Nightwolf, you're drunk
You gotta admit, Linden and Robin are legit having fun with their roles in the first movie and it shows. "Hey asshole! Those were $500 sunglasses."
Uwe Boll retrospective!
Can we get an episode of RE6 please? I really want to know wha happun with Capcom’s thought process when making that game.
I saw Annihilation when I was in 3rd grade and absolutely loved it. To this day, it’s still a guilty pleasure of mine and enjoy its awfulness as I do Street Fighter: The Movie. I played a lot of MK: Trilogy back in the day and I was just happy to see my favorite characters in the movie. Also say what you want about the film itself, but that soundtrack is GODLIKE. lol
What’s funny about the wall of text at 18:30 is in SOME WAYS, they’re sorta right. NRS is even honoring the legacy of the movies (or at least the first one) even now with Cary Tagawa reprising his role as Shang Tsung in MK11, Chris Lambert referencing him playing Raiden in a recent French ad for MK11 and even Kano still being from Australia in the games up til now.
Mortal Kombat Annihilation holds a special place in my heart as the first film I ever switched off before the ending. I was 12
That reveal at the end that Larry made Foodfight is like an MCU post credit scene. You have got to do a Wha Happun on that film.
MK: Annihilation is, hands down, my favorite awesomely bad movie. 🤘
Honestly, the question “what happened” could have been shown by just holding up a picture of Larry Kasanoff and saying “he made Food Fight” and just holding on that shot, silently, for 22 minutes.
This is the video I need cause foodfight omg omg how
@@forever999juice_wrld6 I don’t know how in depth skeleton man could go. That film’s whole production and why it took so long is shrouded in mystery. All Kasanoff says about it is “it was stolen, Idk.” But hearing everything about him in this vid, that’s probably an absolute lie.
Same day Phelous finished up Defenders of the Realm. Nice timing.
I've got one if you are interested in doing a TV show, WMAC Masters. I have always wanted to know Wha Happun to it. Alot of episodes are on CZcams and it still sorta holds up at least as far as what the show was supposed to be.
Movie: anything by uwe boll.
Game: Shadowrun FPS.
He mentioned Kassanof so he needs to do a Wha Happun on Foodfight.
But he should do a Why Happun really.
My name is Shang Tsung and I am an alcoholic.
This move came out when I was like 8 or 9. I remember watching in the theaters with my aunt and cousin. I had no clue this was a bad movie. I didn’t think it was great but I couldnt shake the feeling of “I’m supposed to be enjoying this, why aren’t I enjoying this more?”
Silent Hill : Revelations could use the Wha Happun treatment.
This just continues to confirm the fact that no matter what huge disaster you had under your belt, you'll eventually fail upwards.
(Because I did so many MK videos, I've seen this movie more time than I care to say.)
I’m so sorry
IT HAPPENED that 30 years later MK fans are still in love with all of this!
It happened and thankfully so!!!
man I'm binging on your channel because I've zoned out so much on things you made videos for and don't recall any memory of social life worthy to remember other than those... Clover Studio, MK Annihilation and Special Forces, Tristar's Godzilla, other media works which debacle I think no one could give a crap because well, some of those were my fond memories that others couldn't discuss because somehow I happened to be drawn to them by myself. No reviews to read, no peers to talk with, I was just a kid in SE Asia country whose foreign media consumption amount taught more than I could have conversation with friends, specially in early 2000.
thank you for the well-researched stuffs, it was weird to know that I did like things of poor taste rather unconsciously for so long, but I still do kinda like them somehow.
You know VG adaptations are cursed, when after having one decent movie, the sequel immediately had to be garbage lol.
Gotta balance out all of this positivity somehow! :P
I love that Linden Ashby basically completely turns into Johnny Cage in that rant. I'm shocked NetherRealm has never somehow figured out a way for Cage to say that in an MK game.
Myself and two friends (Who were 13 at the time) were looking so forward to this! There was a kid around 10 in front of us, with his parents we were talking to about the first film and guessing what would happen in this film!.... Never did ask the kid at the end what he thought. But the rest of us... Yeah, oh my
20:49 Last I heard he apparently wants to try and make a "Tetris" movie next. XD
