Made in 1995 and still considered one of if not THE best Video Game movie ever made. Heck even back in the day it stayed as the #1 movie for 3 weeks, hardly anything does that anymore (Hollywood packing together movies these days doesn't help). Anyone else wanna give some love to this flick? Or just watch the coolest fight in the movie Johnny Cage Vs Scorpion

I personally hated it, but I hate all video game movies, it's my shtick. But seriously, it could have been WAAAY better. It just didn't feel like the games at all.

Definitely the best movie based on a video game, I don't think anything else comes close. They just got it right.
I might need to rent this now.

I mark for MK the movie!!!!!!!!!!!
I never really liked Goro in MK the arcade so i was glad to see him lose to Cage with out cage even breaking a sweat.
Those were $500 sunglasses a-ho.
This is where you fall down.
I always loved the part after the nut punch where raiden punches the guard and yells yes haha and the guard winces and he says sorry to him.
Damn I might have to postpone a night of drinking to watch this movie now.

The original movie is so many various levels of gold.

If that were the case, I'd probably remove it from the bundle and toss it away right after the purchase. But the original is the gold standard for video game movies.

I never saw the Final Fantasy VII sequel-movie, but I hear that's really good. Was never a fan though.

I loved it. If only the Street Fighter move had been anywhere as near as good

That movie showed the awesomeness of Johnny Cage.
Plus, Christopher Lambert was great as Raiden.

God, now that I look at it I can't believe how cheesy it looks. It's the digital animation that has really improved over the years, but damn was that movie effective for its time. I really dig the Liu Kang/Reptile fight scene more.

The only video game movie that didn't suck.
Well, Double Dragon was alright because it didn't take itself seriously.

Mortal Kombat was awesome. Anyone else love how Liu Kang killed Sub-Zero?

Street Fighter, the live action sucked. The animated movie was amazing. And yeah, Final Fantasy Advent Children was awesome to watch as well.

Mortal Kombat was awesome. Anyone else love how Liu Kang killed Sub-Zero? Death by icicle, frickin awesome. Also Scorpion yelling "GET DOWN HERE" and punching a column to knock down Johnny Cage during their fight was hilarious. God that movie was so awesome. Then Mortal Kombat: Annihilation happened...and once Cage bit the dust you knew it was all downhill from there.

The Sub Zero fight could have used an extra minute of fighting though, it felt a little short.

MK may just be the only video game movie I've ever seen that was good in a good way as opposed to a "so bad it's good" way.
