@@Elthenar Fun fact, I thought Shang Tsung sounded like Mr. Tagawa, and I looked it up to see it was him. Mr. Tagawa actually coaches the person(s) who portray Shang Tsung in MK Live performances.

I liked how Robin Shou and Linden Ashby kept their friendship for so long. I truly respect that. Good video!

Honestly the last couple video game movies have been very enjoyable. Both Detective Pikachu and Sonic were fun and I think directors are actually looking into the source material. Although I do hope the MK reboot is just as good, if not better, than the original, but that’s a standard a bit too high.

Yep, Johnny Cage is my main man in MK!

The question at 13:50 , I'll probably have to agree to the answer of Mr. Linden Ashby till the day I die. It is 100% true that this movie has set a bar for Game-to-Movie productions so high that Mortal Kombat (1995) will always remain the best Mortal Kombat movie for this franchise. The cast, the production work, the screenplay, the overall setting and locations, everything about this movie was what a visual MK needs to be. My first MK game was MK3 in Sega Mega Drive. Then I watched this movie. And lot later experienced the first MK and MK-II games. So as a kid, I was relating the movie more with MK3 as I was watching it. It was an unforgettable, joyous one and a half hour of my life the first time I watched this movie and I couldn't get enough of it.

Now Linden Ashby can play as himself in MK11😎

There friendship is so wholesome. Seeing them together is precious.

"There was so much more that could've been done with the films", that hit me cause that's just so true with how they missed the mark with the sequel. As an adult, watching the first MK movie, there's some campiness to it but the fight scenes were just so much more memorable and intense than the new one.

It’s nice that these two guys are friends in real life. That’s so cool.

Great to hear these two still keep in touch, Loved that movie when it came out! And of course, loved the videogames since day one! Amazing that the funniest lines in the movie were all improv by Linden himself, on the spot, sheesh! Mindblowing that Robin met the OG Lui Kang from the original video game, years before the movie xD

They could have literally made Robin Shou a cameo in the remake and they didn't. I'm disappointed because he's still great in personality and in appearance! He looks great!
