They were able to put in some nice Easter Eggs for fans of the games in this. One of the more subtle ones is the continual sweeps scene during their Training. It was a very common tactic (especially against the Computer) to sweep over and over and over. Usually after the 3rd you couldn't do it any more as a Loop.

(At 3:45) THIS is the 1st Sub-Zero. The one we know and love is the 2nd Sub-Zero, his replacement and younger brother.

“Flawless victory” is only achieved by not having suffered a single hit. That’s why you only saw Kung Lao say it and why it’s rare. Also, you guys might not be familiar with the relatively recent Brutalities. It’s like Fatalities but executed right before the enemy gets stunned at the end. Brutalities are done before, Fatalities are done after.

@SSD_Penumbra

7 ай бұрын

Brutalities have been in since MK 3(?) but they're rare. Its usually done by landing a last-hit with a specific move. In MK11, last-hitting with an Uppercut is a brutality, same with grapples.

Fun Kano fact: The character was originally an Asian organized crime boss, but the 90s movie inexplicably redesigned him as an Australian asshole and everyone just liked that version better. Even in the games, Kano is now an abrasive Aussie.

@SSD_Penumbra

I think it's because the original FMV actor for him was an aussie, and to pay homage to the games, they cast an aussie actor.

This movie is really close to the games. I love both. And Raiden is actually based on the lightning guy from Big Trouble In Little China. This movie is pre-tournament.

The 90's Mortal Kombat lacked an "R" rating, so the kills were tamer. However, the actor who played Shang Tsun was a lot better in it. The character of Cole was an original character who never appeared in any of the games before this film. I loved this film and really hope they get a sequel greenlit as they teased Johnny Cage for it.

I took this movie as if I was playing story mode in the game. Your purpose was to go on a quest, meet others, defeat enemies as you go, and ultimately…unlock your own arcana. This was a fantastic video game adaptation imo 👌

I was watching another reaction and i got a notification for this, and I was like NOPE, PAUSE! and immediately started this, really curious to see what you guys thought of it. And we DEFINITELY do need the 90s Mortal Kombat reaction, that movie is so nostalgic, and very entertaining! (Not the second one though lol) This movie was good, a lot better than I thought it would be - my expectation was lower mainly because of MK2 Annihilation (lmao). There was a good balance of fighting to violence. The violence was poignant but not gratuitous. The fans loved this movie, and I think there will be a sequel. The original MK song is unbeatable honestly. But yes, PLEASE react to the first Mortal Kombat movie! It's good! And yes, a popcorn flick is one where you completely shut your brain off.

26:45 Flawless victory is where your opponent never hits you once.

"Laser beam! Better than fireballs, ya pussy!" is one of the funniest movie quotes in my recent memory. The context of it, with Liu Kang having just helped him find his power, makes it hilarious.

Darker and more violent than the first films!

I loved this movie and some of the throwbacks they included in the film. I Played Mortal Kombat on SNES when I was a kid too and as a teen I played Mortal Kombat: Deception heavily with one of my best friends. In world rankings my friend was ranked number 44 in the world with Scorpion and I was ranked 186 at that time with Sub-Zero. As a 15 year old kid, this felt like a huge achievement for me haha.

Since Raiden is a god, he isn't allowed to actually fight. He can help and guide in other ways, but at this point he isn't can't help them in battle.

Seeing your both reactions to Kano's comedic relief was fun.

This movie was a lot of good fun, but i still reaaaally reaally wish we had gotten a bigger focus on just Scorpion/Sub Zero, and also had less cuts during every fight.

YES YOU GUYS SHOULD REACT TO THE FIRST 2 ORIGINAL MOVIES AS A COMBINED REACTION!

For me I’m a huge Mortal Kombat fan and a lot of fans disliked this movie…But for my brother and I we both loved this movie! I think it could have been better but it was definitely really fun and a lot better than the older movies. Also most fans hated the original character in this movie…But my brother and I bother really liked him. We both felt that he was kind of needed in order to tell the story in the way they wanted. To give that fish out of water feel and have a character represent the audience in the film whose eyes we would see through. They couldn’t exactly do someone like Sonya or Jax because we would already know they would get “powers” and what not. I just think that the original character and his powers were really cool almost like black Panther’s suit…could have bee really dumb but it wasn’t. He was one of the better actors in the movie along with the guy who played Kano.

The guy with the bladed hat is Kung Lao from the game Mortal Kombat 2.

This movie has the best visuals and fighting choreography. The original has the best characters and better direction. Hopefully the sequel will meet them in the middle.

Maybe Cole Young seemed a little cheesy to some but, in all honesty I think that he did a good job and even though it was plot armor at the end, the movie still served its purpose. The gore is what made this movie. Love you guys, thank you for the reaction.

Did you catch the bit where Shang Tsung said: ''Today you have killed my warriors and you think you have won. But death is only another portal'' ? I don't think we've seen the last of them yet... Oh and I think there's more than just a few great's in the gap between Hanzo and Cole, it was 4000 years lol.

I love that all the characters have these emotional, and in depth character arcs that bring out their powers. And Kano is like "I WANTED A F**KING EGGROLL!!"

I love this movie. Yeah, it have some differences from the game, but the original movie also had. This one had Fatalitys, Gore, Special powers(which the original only had for the villains, and Liu Kang in the last scene). I found some internet reviewers pretty lame, complaining about pacing, or about storytelling. But if it had good story telling, and nothing from the game, they would complain about that. That's why we can't have nice things. Also Max Huang is a badass. He play Kung Lao perfectly.

There's definitely a lot I liked about this one, the opening was incredible, Kano, Sub-Zero and Scorpion were fantastic and there was some good fan service. I still liked the 90s movie better even if it was campy, but there's opportunity for this to improve itself in the sequel (which they did confirm was coming). If they had kept the same tone as the opening throughout the movie it could have been a masterpiece.

If you're just a casual audience and have no idea about the story of the games then it makes sense you would enjoy this movie. But for someone like me who knows the deep lore of the game, this movie was GIGANTIC WASTE of POTENTIAL. The story of MK has the potential to become a franchise as big as Marvel or Star Wars, I'm not exaggerating. But this movie introduced so many characters without developing them and killed a ton of others that could play important roles in sequels. This movie is good enough for maybe a trilogy and that's it, but it could have been so much more. I'm talking great individual stories and crossovers Avengers-style with high stakes.

7 playable characters who were introduced in the 1st Mortal Kombat game, which are: Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Raiden, Kano, Scorpion and Sub Zero. The 2 bosses are Shang Tsung (who later became playable character in Mortal Kombat 2 game) and Goro. And there is a secret character, which that is Reptile who later became playable character in Mortal Kombat 2 game. Another 5 playable characters who were introduced in Mortal Kombat 2 game, which are: Jax, Kung Lao, Kitana, Mileena and Baraka. Returning characters from the 1st Mortal Kombat game returned as and 2 of them later became playable characters, which are: Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, Raiden, Scorpion and Sub Zero returned as playable characters and Reptile and Shang Tsung who are became playable characters. Also, the 2 different bosses are Shao Kahn and Kintaro. And there are 3 secret hidden characters, which are Jade, Smoke and Noob Saibot who are later became playable characters in Mortal Kombat 3/Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 game. And then, the other 2 returning characters from the 1st Mortal Kombat game who aren't playable characters in Mortal Kombat 2 game, which are: Sonya Blade and Kano, because they just appear in the background of Shao Kahn's arena stage and they both chained up as Shao Kahn's prisoners.

I just discovered this channel. I am going to give it a chance. I love honesty and sincerity when it comes to reactions...Let's see how this goes.

Yeah! Having both 90s mortal kombat movies watched back to back would give the best reactions. You can even split them into part 1 and part 2 videos.

The very first Mortal Kombat film will always be the best in my heart.

So just so y'all know the tournament didn't happen in this movie. The tournament will happen in the sequel, which is already in the works as we speak. Bi Han (Sub Zero) will be back, except he will be transformed into Noob Saibot.

Coles power was literally plot armor

Now these are actual MK fights!!

Best Mortal Kombat memory was either my older cousin betting money with friends against me and I knew all the moves so I got all the candy I ever could want or when I snuck in to the 90s movie at 9 yrs old, at the scene where Scorpion n Sub Zero enter, dude pulled a gat, and made the roof not rain proof. Almost stampeded. Mortal Kombat got a history yo...

(At 27:06) Ah great! she took my freaking kidney!

Love this movie! I watch it in the threatre in my teens and the 90s techno soundtrack just make you want fight. The best cheesiest fun action.

Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤️

I've waited for this reaction since mortal kombat was released 😆

BEST REACTION FROM Y'ALL!! 😂😂 You have to watch the old ones to show your wife!! 💯😂

One of my favourite things about sub zero and scorpion is that they feel everything. Like idk which game it was but at some point sub zero says he feels the ice and how cold it is❤

The first 90s one was awesome

FLAWLESS VICTORY!

The original song was the best; however, the Utah Saints verison was also really good. I love the first Mortal Kombat movie, but I think this one is the best one. I keep hoping they will announce a second film; because I want to see where the story will go. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa; who play the original Shang Tsung, is Iconic in that role. There's a KZread series for Mortal Kombat; which features Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, and Geri Ryan (7 of 9 from Star Trek), as Sonya. She's awesome in the first 2 episodes.

As great as this entire movie is, as a whole, the best parts of this movie, are, ironically, in the first fifteen minutes. Because that whole scene with Hatori Hanzo getting killed by Bi Chen (the future Sub-Zero), and then watching him try and crawl for his daughter, when he hears her crying, but then dies before he can reach the house, and then bursts into flames... That whole scene just TEARS ME APART!! lol Like, the rest of the movie is great, but that opening scene is just... on another level!

They are making a 2nd Mortal Kombat. Bi-Han aka Sub-Zero (plus the actor that plays him) is coming back but not as Sub-Zero he turns into Noob Saibot (which is another MK character). Just like how it was in the game. Ngl I laughed with excitement and grossness at the fatalities. I was like “yay” and “gross” at the same time.

Hi guys! Great job enjoying this one. You should totally watch the original movie! Maybe I'm just OG but that one was more like the game and characters were pretty cool too for that era. Hope to see you for that one. Thanks...

This movie was a flawless victory and there is a sequel in the works with a trilogy planned. If they start filming this year, we could see the sequel by 2024.

My biggest issue with this movie is that the beginning had a completely different tone than then rest of the film. I want a MK with the more gritty tone of opening. The corny/fan service moments were fun but it wasn't what I personally wanted (or expected) from the film. Also, for the most part the 'heroes" took no damage during most of the fight scenes. At one point a statue falls on one of them yet they walk away without a scratch on them.

The actor playing Kano was so good at his job that I genuinely hoped that this iteration of Mortal Kombat would have understood that plotline's potential.

I Love the Move too

The song was made for a commercial for the game so you might have heard it on TV.

This movie may not have been perfect on storytelling but it more than made up for it in the fight scenes

The original movies are so cheesy, corny, and full of some of the worst CGI (especially the 2nd), but they're so damn fun. I hope you react to them some time. And this movie was amazing visually, but I just couldn't get over the Cole character. It felt like he was pointless and not needed. I really loved the Scorpion backstory, but wish they could have brought it about another way. I didn't have a problem with any of the other characters and Kano was so damn good. This movie wasn't perfect and has some flaws, but it's still FUN and I had a blast watching it multiple times. I hope they make a sequel.

Kano has always been the villian everybody loves

They invented a new character to be the lead because everybody would want their favorite to be the lead but you can't satisfy everyone.
