  • 25 years after the release of Mortal Kombat, Juan Cadavid chats with director Paul WS Anderson, Linden Ashby (Johnny Cage) and Robin Shou (Lui Kang) to talk about how the video game movie came to be, reshooting the fight scenes to add more stunts, working with ‘the last great animatronic’ and spelling combat with a ‘K.’

      The reboot seem to lack a budget with you saw with locations script and pacing, it was just to be used as a jumping off point for a actual MK movie (think Mortal Kombat Rebirth to Mortal Kombat Legacy) the movie was good with what budget they had so now I can't wait to see a full fledged version

    This movie is near flawless and was a huge part anyone that grew up in the 90's. The franchise was counter culture and Paul Anderson did a great job encompassing the spirit of the game in the movie. That is something that is NEEDED for video game adaptation films.

    I've been a fan of the franchise since the first Mortal Kombat arcade in 1992 was released. The first MK movie was an instant favorite of mine, and to this day it's one of my favorite classics! I am so happy the actors became such good friends while making this awesome film, and still celebrate its greatest with the fans all these years later! It feels almost strange saying that, because the day I seen this in theaters on August 18, 1995 is so memorable for me. Has it really been that long ago? So nostalgic looking back. I know there is a reboot coming out on April 16, 2021, but the original will always be special for me just because of how big it was for me at the time I seen it. Awesome interview!!!

  • @miesvaillanykyisyytta3252

    Depending on who you believe, the JCVD-Cage connection may be half-myth. If I remember correctly, Daniel Pesina says that Cage in the game was at least partially inspired by a comic book character whose name I cannot remember although the legend about the JCVD game etc. being under consideration at one point in time has not been refuted to my knowledge. There are many interviews of Daniel on CZcams so perhaps someone can look that up and elaborate.
