Mortal Kombat (1995) is the BEST 90s Video Game Adaptation

ROUND 2 HAS BEGUN! 'Super Kombat Fighter: Double Dumpster Edition Turbo' month continues with a Paul W.S. Anderson movie we actually like! Soul stealing sorcerer Shang Tsung rounds up Earthrealm’s mightiest warriors for a deadly martial arts tournament to decide the fate of the universe. With a little help from the jovial God of Thunder, Christopher Lambert’s Raiden *HEH HEH HEH*, Puerto Rican Princess Kitana, and Chris Farley the ‘Beverly Hills Ninja’, the warriors of Earth just might have a chance at stopping the evil Outworld Emperor Shao Kahn from merging the realms in seven days...or something. Before ‘Mortal Kombat: Annihilation’ gave us a Fatality and ripped out our spines, there was a movie that set the standard for great video game adaptations. We’re talking Scorpion and Sub-Zero! Kano and Sonya Blade! Liu Kang and Goro! Johnny Cage and Art Lean! Reptile and terrible 90’s CGI!! All that and more as we travel back to the arcade to fill our hearts full of Friendship. So grab your $500 sunglasses, wave goodbye to Jaxx, and GET OVER HERE because we’re putting another quarter in 1995’s Mortal Kombat!

It's 1:30am and I'm stuck in a 10x20 storage unit packing and you guys are saving my life right now 👏🏿👏🏿

[@brianbarrieau9060]

Definitely my favorite video game movie with Street fighter as a close second. I just love how the movie doesn't take it self too seriously and just gives you great fights solid costume designs and plenty of very quotable line's.

[@loganthelaymancritic3250]

Your impersonation of Raiden somehow manages to simultaneously sound like Christopher Lambert and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at the same time.

[@wolfsbainefreek666]

Love the podcast, been binging the episodes. The only gripe I've got is having to adjust the volume every 2 minutes because "somebody" can't stop yelling like a person who's hearing aid is cutting in and out. Other than that, FANTASTIC show, keep them coming.

[@MovieDumpster]

Hopefully since we switched to video it isn't as bad. Can only assume that somebody being too loud is me, just say it LOL! I'm just passionate! Thanks for watching. -Sean

[@ThePalmer81]

Its excruciating..lol

[@wretchardkimball9049]

Scorpion: "Get over it!"

[@MLawrence-z9k]

I was born in May of 1987 , Mortal Kombat & Aliens was the very two first films that I saw in my life to where I wanted to watch them a million times over ❤ the year was 1995 !!!! I saw Aliens & the Mortal Kombat right afterwards & loved it so much as a 8 year old that I literally stole it from the video store so all my friends could watch it & become obsessed with it too especially because we all already played the first two games together on SNES & the third game literally just came out in the arcade back then ❤

[@nickmarkins6746]

Lol "why didn't you save Chan, because you off helping Chris Farely?" Oh that joked killed me

[@MovieDumpster]

Holy Shinto! You know the MDU lore runs deep between the two!

[@tdog3954]

i always loved goros line to kano "HOW LUCKY FOR THEM! ....back home...."

[@MovieDumpster]

There's a reason this movie's version of Kano basically became the blueprint for the the kharacter in the games that followed it. MK11 really nailed him too imo. -Sean

[@115spt2]

1:20:23 MOCAPPED !?! ARE YOU INSANE!??!?!! I burst out laughing!

[@MovieDumpster]

🤣🤣

[@wretchardkimball9049]

I think Brandon Lee could definitely Laser Mission his way through a Johnny Cage performance. RIP

[@TheAlan136]

Art Lean was my favorite character. People were complaining about Cole from MK 2021, totally forgetting about the parade of carnies that Goro massacred. The movies have always been there own thing.

[@MovieDumpster]

Art is great, except he’s a tertiary character. Just like Cole should have been.

[@wretchardkimball9049]

Mortal Kombat Origins: Art Lean

[@fightingmedialounge519]

Goro looks fine for the time.

[@MovieDumpster]

He was an amazing achievement for guys-in-suits monsters! - Joe

[@tony7713]

This is great

[@MovieDumpster]

Thank you, we're glad your enjoying it! *Heh heh heh*

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

Before Sonic, this was the best video game movie.

[@MovieDumpster]

Detective Pikachu comes to mind too.

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

That was a good one.

[@andyproveaux3047]

Time for another double dragon movie for sure

[@MovieDumpster]

Could make for a really interesting movie in the vein of The Warriors, we would definitely give it a chance! We talk about it a bit in our Double Dragon episode too.

[@hitmanmonaghan6633]

Final Fight! That needs a movie! Or a mini series.

[@Toastedtonberry]

It would be totally awesome if you guys did mystery men

[@MovieDumpster]

Would love to do it, it’s awesome! -Sean

[@andyproveaux3047]

After mk3 I kind of fell out for the most part

[@MovieDumpster]

We try to catch you up in the episode, but some of us were in the same boat. The last three games have been a return to form though for sure!

[@joseph-zoramcbride4029]

Yeah same. I played four a bit via rentals and cabinets, but that's about it. I think things have gotten even more bonkers since - can't you pick Freddie Krueger as a playable char now? I'll always love this movie though. I think it's the best adaptation of a vijagame out there. Just fun and silly and dripping with nostalgia - if not with blood.

[@Psychokyuubi666]

@@joseph-zoramcbride4029Sorry, to reply to your year long comment, but in MK9, Freddy Krueger was a guest character Via DLC, and or buying the re-release (Which I’ve no issue with guest fighters in games) That license has since been discontinued & was over 10 - Years ago.

[@marcschoenbach2397]

Love this

[@MovieDumpster]

Thank you!

[@roadrunnermjp]

Damn straight!

[@petergarcia1241]

For sure after MK 3 Ultimate anf MK Trilogy....it was the end of an Era and seeing the way MK 4 moved to the Tekken format was bailed from the franchise. Now that I heard MK X having Horror Characters in MK and MK 11 has alot of Movie CHARACTERS from 80s movies as well as Characters from the actual MK Movie...I want to buy both games just to play those Characters....is it worth to buy both 10 and 11?

[@MovieDumpster]

Both are great for different reasons, but I played a lot more X than 11 for what it’s worth. If you wanna play online though, 11 would be the way to go. And MK3 is the best. Thanks for watching! -Sean

[@bZman]

Absolutely worth playing. Fun story modes for both

[@MovieDumpster]

@@bZman Oh agreed. If you're playing for story, definitely need to play both!

[@bZman]

@@MovieDumpster the fighting gameplay is stellar but the storytelling through 9 to 11 is AMAZING. Totally revolutionizing fighting games so even those who dont get into the online still can enjoy them.

[@8strauss6]

see I agree with both you guys It should have been the predator camouflage look with the lizard skin so you wouldn't even see it except for the camouflage and then get thrown into the body and become reptile that way we don't have that CGI monstrosity

[@MLawrence-z9k]

How was Resident Evil Apocalypse not a good Video Game adaptation???? It's literally the best RE film we are ever going to get!!!! It's the only one film other than MK1 that feels like a real film adaptation to a game!!! They even added scenes in from the 3rd & 4th RE games in it & made sure that all the B.O.W.'s looked just like they did in the games unlike the other four films!!!! I thought RE : Apocalypse was damn perfect regardless if they added different things from different films & because they made it into the second & third film rather than just the second cuz I'm not a huge fan of RE2 anyway!!!! Also I think the actor that they chose for Johnny Cage in MK1 was perfect casting just like the rest of the characters & actors were !!!! Jean Claude Van Damm is basically why MK even exists but I honestly can't see him playing Johnny Cage better than the person they chose along with all the actors & actresses they chose!!! They were all perfect to me because that movie is literally why ppl remember all those actors in other films so well ❤

[@AustinTXSlasher]

Woo! You guys, this was a bit of a hard one to listen to with the guy's yelling (I have a friend who is loud like this in person, and it's making me feel like he's in the room), but I'm loving the material from all the episodes I've heard. I'm kind of new to your channel. So I admit that I'm listening to these out of order. Thanks for a lot of good laughs from these episodes! Anyway, I sort of fell off after Mortal Kombat 3. I don't know why I can barely remember the second Mortal Kombat movie, but from what's been said here, I probably don't need to. This one's got so many memories attached to it - seeing it in the theatre with buddies, playing all the games, the soundtrack (I'm all about the metal/industrial stuff). I just the shit out of this one.

[@MovieDumpster]

Thanks for giving us a chance and we’re glad you’re digging the show! 🙏💚📼

[@AustinTXSlasher]

@@MovieDumpster, oh, most definitely! The Creepshow episode is how I first discovered you guys! Keep up the good work, man!

[@stevezac_cptlpnshmnt]

Bruhhh this is one of the funniest episodes hands down!

[@MovieDumpster]

Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼

[@pc_gaijin]

What episode do I need to listen to to get the dobby and charnetski back story?

[@MovieDumpster]

Charnetski is Demonic Toys, Dobby we first bring up in our Aberration ep, but it’s a long running joke!

[@grizzlehatchet1]

Audio only blows.

[@MovieDumpster]

We wish this one could have been video. It has been a journey! Still, there are some great episodes in the back catalog even if they are audio only. Thanks for your support! 🙏💚📼

[@matteberhardt1750]

Great review, I still enjoy this movie. Probably top 5 video game movies 🦂 🧊 ⚡️ 🐉
