Ranking EVERY Fight in Mortal Kombat (1995) | Tier List

Фильм және анимация

In this video, I rank every one-on-one fight depicted in the beloved Mortal Kombat 1995 film. These are all my opinion based on years of watching this film and my most recent viewings of each individual battle. Although the cast of the original Mortal Kombat movie is excellent, some fights are unquestionably better than others.
Movie Synopsis:
Once every generation, there is an inter-dimensional martial arts tournament known as Mortal Kombat, designed by the Elder Gods to limit invasions between the realms of the universe. If the realm of Outworld wins Mortal Kombat ten consecutive times, its Emperor Shao Kahn (voiced by Frank Welker) will be able to invade and conquer the Earth realm. They have already won nine; so this will be their tenth tournament.

    Not to mention, Reptile was a hidden character in the first game if I’m not mistaken. When the announcer says “Reptile” made it THAT much better. A nice little Easter egg.

    They really brought the mortal to mortal kombat with these fights. I LOVED this movie as a kid and i still do! My biggest issues were the earthrealm warriors really never using their special abilities from the game. To add to the Reptile Liu fight: what seals the deal is the announcer saying "Reptile" and the music. Paired with the choreography and showcase of the bicycle kick is just the piece de la résistance.

    you did an incredible job on these. and kudos for not giving Kang vs. Kitana bonus points simply because Kitana is gorgeous af. You are a better man than I. I still think this was the best MK. I don't know how they did it worse this time around. That Cage vs. Scorpion scenery is mesmerizing. I didn't realize all the other scenery nods until your video, so I appreciate pointing those out.

    I think Bridgette Wilson didn't have much time to prepare for this movie since she flew in right after filming Billy Maddison to replace Cameron Diaz. Even tho she's a very well driven Sonya. She could have more fighting scenes if wasn't for that. But when it comes to fighting, Sandra Hess did a way superior job in Annihilation against Cyrax and Mileena.

    hey really brought the mortal to mortal kombat with these fights. I LOVED this movie as a kid and i still do!

To add to the Reptile Liu fight: what seals the deal is the announcer saying "Reptile" and the music. Paired with the choreography and showcase of the bicycle kick is just the piece de la résistance.I studied the reptile and liu kang fight everyday and learned reptile to a tee and used his move on a kid that was bullying me in elementary school. Atop of that it started my journey as a martial artist even though I know 8 different styles and I am a black belt in Taekwondo. With the fight between smoke and liu kang in the second movie I remember smoke's kicks and he ruined liu kang. Funny fact: the same music that was used in the reptile/liu kang fight is the same music used in the adult actress industry. :) I think the actess' name was traci lords. don't ask me how I know.

    Being an earnest Sub-Zero fan the Liu Kang ✨ Sub-Zero battle was the most disappointing out of all three ninja battles. Their dual was noticeably deprived of ignited combative substance being that Sub-Zero and Liu Kang are amongst the most iconic historical characters of the Mortal Kombat series. There's no comparison when set next to the Scorpion/ Johnny Cage ~ Reptile/ Lui Kang battles.

    As an original fan who played the first game as a kid and dam near cried when they announced the movie as a kid I kinda disagree with some of the placements but overall a good list. You forgot the fight with the warriors Shang sung raised during the lui vs Shang final fight tho. I think some of my disagreements come from actually being there when it first went down.

    I'll disagree a little bit with the henchman fight. It was really meant to show the "chosen" combatants how a dude who, to them, seemed very capable and to show the absolute danger they're about to face. Having a more drawn out fight would actually lessen the impact compared to just exploding a dude before the fight even began.

    I wonder How would, The Ranking List for the Next Movie... Annihilation. I know. Almost Kind a Like The Alternate Tournament, with Shao Kahn in It. Also For this Movie, I Wonder About IF Liu Kang Had Goro and Scorpion as HIS Opponents... Also with them Having Hard Time. You know. Opponents, that can Challenge his Limits and Make Him Reach them, and See IF HE ca Cross Them (The Limits). I Mean Like Liu Kang Feeling Like He Had Training, BUT Wasn't Done Fully with It. And The Fights with them Been The Final Missing Peace, OF the Training Puzzle, Before His BOSS Fight with Shang Tsung. And the Second Movie... We Have to Remember, The Fights. Raiden VS Shao Kahn Kitana VS Sindel (IDK. This Sindel Doesn't Feel, Like the one in the Games. Just to Mention) Sonya VS Ermac & Noob (Don't Ask. It's Not Noob/Smoke) Jax VS Motaro (I know. Motaro in Mortal Kombat 2. Where Kintaro was the Step Before Shao Kahn) Jax VS Cyrax (I know, Not Bad, BUT Not Much Shown From Cyrax. Only That He is Too Dangerous) Liu Kang VS Smoke (Cyber Smoke in MK2 Instead of Human Smoke) Yeah I know, We saw Scorpion And Again Sub-Zero. Also... I know We Saw Little of Nightwolf and Jade. Also Sonya VS Mileena (Little Hard For Sonya, Then Jax Appeared, And Some Creature Too) (I Was Thinking Too Quick). And Some Other Fights And Also The Finale Fight (BOSS FIGHT) Liu Kang VS Shao Kahn (And a Person that Appeared and Disappeared, Kind a Like Mastermind). NO Mortal Kombat 3 Section (Invasion of Earth Realm). Mortal Kombat 1 Tournament (Tournament Number 10) Mortal Kombat 2 Alternate Tournament Mortal Kombat 3 Invasion Mortal Kombat 4 Shinnok The Rest is the Rest.
