Linden Ashby, who played Johnny Cage, is an experienced martial artist and did a lot of his fights. I believe him and/or Robin Shou got injured during some stunts which can explain why in a few spots they used a stunt.

[@valentinruiz3828]

This is an amazing movie, I highlight the performances of Robin Shou as Liu Kang, Linden Ahsbey as Johnny Cage, Christopher Lambert as Raiden and of course Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shang Tsung.

[@Nergalsama01]

Yeah, Cary was great. Intense af in every scene. If you needed someone to play a vaguely Asian antagonist in your movie or tv show in the 80s and 90s, he was your guy.

They were a million percent right this movie got so much right. Street Fighter the movie got everything wrong. Although the casting in Street Fighter was perfect. Even the fight between Guile and Bison should have been better choreographed. The script really sucked and was more of a spoof on Street Fighter than the actual Street Fighter.

[@popculturewatch8689]

​@Vince Commando the casting of street fighter was not perfect. Raul was great as Bison. Everyone else could have been casted better and Van Damne alone makes it not perfect casting. He makes no sense as Guile. And they got a Ken that can't fight among other things.

I hear people complain sometimes about the Reptile fight asking why Johnny didn’t help. To them I ask a simple question: Who do you think was playing that sick beat during the fight?

[@highlander31527]

This movie was legendary in it's time. The music, the corny fights, the special effects, all of it.

[@digitaladventurer2142]

Actually they set the final battle up to have 3 separate parts or rounds. 1. The opening until Liu got the punch to the jaw on the lower level where he got the win 2. After Shang says "Your Mine" and he slammed Liu's face into the ground where he got the win 3. The 3rd round starts where Liu states he is the chosen one. If you watch he never takes a hit in that round so it was a flawless victory.

In the original Mortal Kombat game Johnny Cage was modeled after Jean Claude Van Damme from Bloodsport. Raiden was based off of the lightning character in Big Trouble in Little China. So was Shang Tsung whos based on the villain Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China. And Liu Kang was modeled after Bruce Lee. So that's why Johnny Cage's move is the split and punch to the balls. Van damme did that move in Bloodsport.

The role of Sonya went to Bridgette Wilson after Cameron Diaz pulled out. Before Linden Ashby was chosen to play Johnny Cage, the studios had Jean Claude Van Damme in mind and offered him the role, but Van Damme turned it down and decided to do Street Fighter instead.

Here’s a tragic fact: There has yet to be a single adaptation where Liu Kang Defeats Goro one-on-one. Let’s run through shall we? The first movie: It’s Johnny Cage that defeats Goro. The live action legacy series: Apparently they cut out Goro for budget reason when depicting the first tournament. The animated Scorpion’s revenge movie: It’s the title character that deals the killing blow(all the while Liu was getting his ass handed to him) The new upcoming movie: The verdict it still out but it’s probably gonna be Cole Young. I’ll edit this comment if I’m wrong. Still assuming I’m wrong about the newest installment It’s bad it took over 25 years for Liu Kang who is the main hero of the franchise to achieve one of his most important victories in the video games(even gets rag dolled in the Scorpion’s revenge), even ONCE is just plain sad.

Lui Kang was pretty much relegated to a side character.
