Guys, when they created MK the game, they used Jean-Claude Van Damme’s character as JC…now, it’s time for his stunt-double, actor Todd Senofonte to take on that! Check this cool video…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2H_9VYUCzQ

Good idea maybe, the visuals of the game are kind of hard to do live action without looking cheesey, but the first one handled the cheesiness quite well.

What about a higher-budget CGI Mortal Kombat flick (TMNT, Final Fantasy quality)? I’d prefer that to another live action

After seeing the horrible sequal in ’97, I am not thrilled to see a MK3.The franchise has a hand trying to reach out for help and I say let it go. MK2 had horrible cast additions and horrible animation. It seemed the movie was made in two days. If this frachise has a chance then it would have to rebooted and started a fresh with a new cast for a new generation. I am a fan of Mortal Kombat. But lets start over folks.

@ tasouli

Lose the tone. I gave you a perfectly logical reason why it can be successful.

Save your wannabe “witty” remarks for someone else.

@ ogb

Yeah I am sure you probably can see the third batman movie also being a success with the lead villain being cast as Mr. Freeze and having the Rock play him

i saw the first one twice in the theaters when i was like 14. the soundtrack was bad ass and i still workout to some of those songs. second one was pretty ridiculous, though i did like the Jax character until his robotic arms fell off because they were supposed to be surgically added to his body. all the other character’s sucked.
i was definitely into the Reptile fight scene, i think the voice saying “Reptile” was a good add in to pay homage to the game.

I’m a Mortal Kombat fanboy. That being said, the second movie was atrocious. For that reason alone I think it should be a reboot of the franchise.

But I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing cast members from the original MK come back – Casamassa made an excellent Scorpion, as well. That first movie gave me chills when Scorpion and Sub-Zero first stepped through the door (though it mildly annoyed me that they WEREN’T at each other’s throats, lol.)

Just as an aside, DC/Warner Bros. JUST BOUGHT Midway – that includes the Mortal Kombat franchise. That might have an impact on this film.

True. Linden Ashby had to get stunt doubled for the fight, but they pulled it off where you can’t really notice it unless you’re looking really hard. Whoever was the stunt double knew what he was doing though. Scorpion would’ve totally won if Cage didn’t bust out that gymnastics sh#t lol

Well, the Reptile fight had two people who looked like they fought well. Johnny Cage sucked, so Scorpion was the only bad ass one in that scene, but he was just so bad ass, he was basically playing with Cage, he could have killed him pretty badly if he put all of his effort into it I think, lol.

I would to add that they should stay away from the way MK evolved in the recent games. The new costumes, weapons, just doesn’t work for me and it will translate poorly onto the big screen. It would just be goofy.

The one thing about MK1 was that it was believable (in the realm of the movie). The fantasy element was handled very well. The costumes and the powers weren’t exaggerated. We only saw one fireball and one bicycle kick from Liu Kang and it was perfect. I can just see them hiring some hack director who thinks it would be “cool” to have Liu Kang run around throwing fireballs around the whole movie.

@John

No way should the cast Jet Li in this. The guy is old and is now completely relying on the “wire fu” fighting. It would look stupid.

Heck yeah, give me another one to make up for the last one! But please, oh please, give it enough money to do it right. The first Sonya looked good but couldn’t fight worth anything. If I were Shang Tzu I wouldn’t have chosen her to fight as well. I would get Michael Jai White to play Jax (he does have martial arts training) and Jett Li to play Shang Tzu (if they do a reboot).
