Traci Lords remix if the movie theme is great if you never heard it and like EDM.
Note if you do not know who Traci Lords is please make sure you include “Mortal Kombat soundtrack” in any search for it as she famously did porn before turning 18
Everything about it is terrible, but it’s saved by Raul Julia in the same way that Tim Curry saves the Three Musketeers and Alan Rickman saves Robin Hood.
A classically trained actor treating the whole thing like a pantomime. It’s glorious.
Raul Julia was a legend… I firmly believe that, at least later in his career, the dude would do whatever shlocky film he could for a paycheck, so he could spend the rest of the time doing theater for fun. And he’s often the best part of those movies.
The first MK movie was the archetypal “It’s good… for a video game adaptation” movie for a long time. Luckily now we have great adaptations (not necessarily movies though) to point to that stand on their own merits.
But yeah, there’s always a part of me that will have fond memories of MK and the JCVD Street Fighter movie. Hell, add Double Dragon to that list.
M. Bison’s famous “It was Tuesday” line in Street Fighter (1994) is frequently misread by viewers as a statement of apathy. Instead, he is telling Chun Li that the day her father died was so important to him that he can instantly recall what day of the week it happened on.
The OG Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter movies are dope. I don’t care what anyone else says.
I don’t think I’ve seen the Street Fighter movie, but Mortal Kombat rocks.
Test your might!
MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAATTTTT!

Street Fighter is far superior.

Raul Julia is SO GOOD in it. Campy as hell.

I gotta watch it…I just remember panicked guys shoving trash into a van to fuel it during a car chase or something. It looked radical lmao.
