Facts

[@ClockworkGearhead]

I find it extremely interesting that the actor, the guy that thrives on attention and being the center of attention, brought Goro to a secluded spot to kill him without an audience. And he _still_ delivered the one-liner.

[@jamesedleymusic]

The arrogance left him when Goro broke his sunglasses.

[@bezoticallyyours83]

He used the surrounding terrain to his advantage and he knew he had to finish the fight quickly or he'd get pounded.

[@jameszack7158]

Because he knows we are watching him

[@CoralCopperHead]

Never forget the one-liner. And don't forget to have a backup in case someone asks "what happened to the other guy?" In this case, something like "he fell for me" or "he took the short way down" work as pocket-replies.

[@ethanlong4670]

This Johnny is powerful. He beat Goro and Scorpion. Without green magic.

[@Fritz_A.]

Debatable in the scorpion fight. Im not sure if he used an air version of shadow kick to scorpion when the teleported, or the after images were from Scorpion's teleport Then again, he did miss and still won without hitting them with his shadow powers

[@Alexei_xyz]

Bro used his common sense powers

[@Wattson19]

The truth is, the plot armor of Jonny Cage in this film was even greater than his daughter's in MKX. How the heck was Jonny able to beat Goro in a fist fight? Shokans are basically draconic gorillas with four arms. And against Scorpion? He doesn't use regular fire, he uses Hellfire, Scorpion should've burnt Jonny and his shield to a crisp.

[@joshuaterry4076]

Hang on. He beat Goro using his brain instead of going in full force. Even though he beat Scorpion at the end, Scorpion was pummeling Johnny Cage throughout that fight. That was a tough battle for Cage.

[@ladyfire44]

He almost lost to Scorpion

[@CertifiedFresh7]

Shang Tsung and Liu Kang were casted so perfectly, they really found actors that looked exactly like their characters for them

[@Ryosuke1208]

And shang tsung is still acting today in several roles and in the latest mortal Kombat, they even used his appearance.

[@ShinzoUchihaX]

They look like that to you because they were both great actors with great writing, not because they looked like a sprite. This wasnt ps5 graphics lmao, anyone with long dark hair would have fit the character model.

Linden Ashby was a good Johnny Cage, Christopher Lambert as Raiden and Brigitte Wilson as Sonya.

This movie had character development and great music. Something the new movie lacked. Johnny overcoming the idea people would think he was fake; Sonya admitting even she needed help; and finally, the centerpiece of the movie: Liu Kang finally not blaming himself for his brother’s death. Got chills when he uttered to shang tsung “Chan chose his own path. Every man is responsible for his own destiny. SHANG TSUNG KILLED MY BROTHER!”

"This is where you fall down" is my favorite line in this movie. Just perfect. Johnny says it in complete annoyance at the stunt man early in the movie, who doesn't know his mark, then after proving himself the most legit of legit fighters, gets to say it to some outworld dragon-man, vindicating himself of everyone who cast doubt on his abilities. Flawless victory.

I wish it would have went down the way it does in the books instead of the movie, because it shows Goro’s honor as a warrior.

[@bartbitter6331]

How’s it go?

[@artofmartialcinemaamc5334]

@@bartbitter6331 You asking me? If so, the gist of it is Goro gets knocked off the ledge, but instead of it going down as it did, Johnny offers to help Goro up and Goro denies and pretty much says he's a Shokan and would be a disgrace to return home in defeat, so he chooses to let go instead iirc.

Dude defeated goro using brain, not plot armor. Respect

[@RaderizDorret]

Exactly: punch him in the nuts to get him to stop thinking/piss him off, set an ambush, finish the job. Hell, Goro was barely able to stand after that low blow so combine that with the surprise from the ambush and Johnny not letting up once his advantage is secured and this fight makes a lot of sense. Goro was portrayed here as relying solely on his inhuman endurance and power to bulldoze his enemies. Johnny short circuited that plan.

[@sebfox2194]

It was still plot armour though, in that Goro just stood around with his mouth open whilst Johnny delivered his cheesy line, before easily kicking his ass. If Goro was even half decent at fighting, then the weight and size difference alone should have been enough for him to easily crush Johnny. A good example of a dude using his brain to defeat a bigger stronger opponent is Daniel Craig's Bond vs Dave Bautista's Hinx in the movie: Spectre.

@@seriousnesstv7902 Obviously. My point was that the whole scene is bad screenwriting. Goro was supposed to be a scary, intimidating monster. In the lore he is a 9 time winner of mortal kombat. Johnny is forced to make a cheap shot just to run away. Then they get on the cliff and Johnny clowns him in 5 seconds. Based on everything we know about the characters, Johnny should have lost when his first "surprise" kick didn't knock Goro down.

[@miguelzubieta5778]

The actor didn’t come back because he was going to get killed ofd

[@nicholasdoss3312]

Fun fact: there was a legal dispute between game Cage's motion capture actor and the game studio that made MK. He did motion capture for a character in a rival (MK clone) fighting game and did advertising for it where he "brilliantly" called out MK as the inferior series. Sadly for him, he got black balled by the MK studio AND the game he was in flopped horribly. So when they went to make MK3, they nixes Cage's role in the series by killing him off, thereby no longer needing his actor and to also rub lemon juice and salt in the motion capture actor's wounds

[@nathanbiller7662]

@Nicholas Doss If only they knew at the time that Cage would go on to become one of the series easily top 5, perhaps even top 3 most popular characters
