Mortal Kombat (2021) VS Mortal Kombat (1995)

In 1995 Mortal Kombat was given a PG-13 movie treatment by Hollywood. People have always wanted a Mortal Kombat movie to have an R rating with strong bloody violence and gore. But the studio has been very reluctant to do so.
That is until recently where Warner Bros have released Mortal Kombat (2021) and we have FINALLY been given an R rated live action film adaptation of the popular Mortal Kombat video game.
But how does the Mortal Kombat (2021) compare to Mortal Kombat (1995)? In this Mortal Kombat VS Mortal Kombat versus video, we are going to find out.
Aswell as find out how it compares to the recent Mortal Kombat Scorpions Revenge animated feature?

No, it's best we don't mention Mortal Kombat 2021: Abomination. That movie is a travesty to Mortal Kombat and martial arts as a whole. A few re Kastings and 5-6 slight changes to the story, making the movie 15 mins longer or so, Annihilation could have been the best MK movie to date 5-6 things that would make MK Annihilation head & Shoulders Above MK 2021 (& possibly above MK 1995) (requires maybe 15 -18 extra minutes max, & a few extra/different Kast members to add in around 4 more fight scenes, while drastically improving all around. This most likely would've had to have Annihilation released in 98 instead, but another year of planning instead of rushing goes a long way). That's why I hate the new movie more than this one because despite being made in 2021, having a fuck ton of more lore & story, directors, actors, martial artists, stunt men & women, technology, martial arts movie to go off of, & most importantly a lot of time to plan this movie out for years and years, playing this whole franchise out for years & years, we somehow get a movie that is even less enjoyable to me & many other fans than Mortal Kombat Annihilation, & it is not even in opinion it is a fact that Annihilation could be fixed with five or six simple things and make it heading shoulders above the new version of Mortal Kombat, & most likely even better than the original movie. Here's what is required for these five things to happen, which is basically adding in a few new cast members, a couple of being swapped out for characters that were already in the movie but it will make for better fight scenes. 1)Paolo Montalbán - Kung Lao 2)Ho Sung Pak as Sektor 3) Wesley Snipes as Baraka 4) Donnie Yen as Smoke 5) Michael Jai White as Ermac 6)Jackie Chan as Bo Rai Cho 1)Add Kung Lao to the story by Kasting Paolo Montalbán as Kung Lao, give Kung Lao the fight vs Ermac while Liu Kang fights Baraka. Basically during the Baraka fight scene, have Baraka getting the upper hand when Ermac comes out to double team him, then have Kung Lao come in and save Liu Kang by soloing Ermac and then Liu Kang & Kung Lao kill Baraka. Then Kung Lao vs Rain in the final fight scene, giving Kung Lao 3 nice wins vs Baraka, Ermac & Rain in the movie, & have Shao Kahn kill Kung Lao to give Liu that animality push. That would have been smarter instead of just killing Johnny Cage for drama, but Linden Ashby didn't return so that might have been a factor too but I'm just saying, there wasn't a real reason to not include Kung Lao then. 2)Give the Cyber Ninjas a larger role in the movie, Sektor specifically. He should have been shown at least by Shao Kahn side in his scenes &, facing Sub Zero at the end instead of getting jobbed out. I do however seeing this being a bit of a problem back then due to time constraints, limited lore back then, & conflicting interests of lore as well (also skipping MK2 & going straight to the invasion sounded more of a cool idea to them since everyone wanted a sequel asap, causing them to rush the story). Basically Kuai Liang would have had to have a showdown with Scorpion, Sektor AND Noob Saibot by movies end. However, I would have liked to see the finish of that Scorpion versus Sub-Zero fight, maybe have Scorpion right on the verge of killing Kuai until Kuai convinced him that he, his brother & clan did not Have anything to do with his family's death. You can have Kung Lao fight Rain, then have Liu Kang start off getting 2v1'd vs Sektor & Noob. Then Scorpion & Sub Zero team up at the end, out of nowhere to help Earthrealm defeat Outworld, & they tell Liu Kang to go fight Shao Kahn, & would justify him losing to Shao due to being drained prior. But we get Kuai Liang vs Sektor (Keith Cooke vs Ho Sung Pak), Scorpion vs Noob Saibot (Chris Cassamasa vs JJ Perry, instead of Sektor falling off a cliff, & Noob & Ermac randomly teamed up at the end lol). 3)Give Sonya an end fight vs Sheeva instead of jobbing her out like that, just have her survive that cage falling on her lol. She fights Noob & Ermac at the same time, & I already fixed that, so her getting to fight Sheeva while Jax fights Motaro makes everything better. 4)A little bit more of lore behind Kitana & Mileena would have been nice, but I would have liked to see a Kitana vs Jade fight as well, & Jade fight with Mileena at least once, either via a clone Mileena or Mileena doesn't get killed in her 1st encounter with Sonya. Mileena & Jade vs Liu Kang & Sonya would have been Kool to see. 5)Let Robin Shou direct all of the action because the best fight of 1995 came when he directed the Liu Kang vs Reptile fight. If not him, you should have called Jackie Chan to direct, or even Isaac Florentine who did WMAC Masters back then as well. Making a few of the fight scenes a bit longer would have helped, especially in the Baraka fight & the end ones. 5 simple things to fix MK Annihilation (aside from removing that 30 second clip of Jax fighting that CGI monster lol!! Swap that with a 50 second cameo from Bo Rai Cho & we good) Imagine a few more of the awesome fights we could have gotten Robin Shou vs Donnie Yen (Liu Kang vs Smoke) Robin Shou vs Michael Jai White (Liu Kang vs Baraka) Robin Shou vs Wesley Snipes & MJW (Liu Kang vs Baraka & Ermac) Robin Shou vs JJ Perry & Ho Sung Pak (Liu Kang vs Noob Saibot & Sektor) Paolo Montalbán vs Michael Jai White (Kung Lao vs Ermac) Robin Shou & Paolo Montalbán vs Wes (Liu Kang & Kung Lao vs Baraka) JJ Perry vs Chris Cassamasa (Noob Saibot vs Scorpion) Keith Cooke vs Ho Sung Pak (Sub Zero vs Sektor) Then Kung Lao vs Rain, then have him attempt to fight Shao Kahn alone. The thing about these fights that would make it a step up from the last movie is you get a bunch of 1 v 1 fights, 1 vs 2 fights & a 1 v 3 fight as well. MK Annihilation Kast (Redo) Kast Robin Shou as Liu Kang (+2-4 mins) Talissa Soto as Kitana Sandra Hess as Sonya Blade (+1 min) Christopher Lambert as Raiden Paolo Montalbán as Kung Lao (10-12mins) Lynn Williams as Jax Litefoot as Nightwolf Keith Cooke as Sub Zero/Cyrax (+5mins) Chris Cassamasa as Scorpion (+5mins) Brian Thompson as Shao Kahn (+1min) Musetta Vander as Sindel Ho Sung Pak as Sektor (plus 5 mins) JJ Perry as Noob Saibot (+2mins) Donnie Yen as Smoke (+1min) Michael Jai White as Ermac (+ 1-2mins) Tyrone Wiggins as Rain Wesley Snipes as Baraka (+2 min) Dan Hee as Mileena (+1-2mins) Irina Pantaeva as Jade (+2min) Deron McBee as Motaro Marjean Holden as Sheeva Linden Ashby as Johnny Cage *Adoni Maropis as Quan Chi *Willem Dafoe as Shinnok

Small correction, Liu Kang does say "Fatality" in the 2021 movie, right after finishing Kabal. The line goes "Fatality. For Kung Lao".

[@1topic-beats]

Finally, someone said it

[@ericirwin413]

Shang Tsung is the only one that says Fatality in the 1995 Mortal Kombat but the only thing Liu Kang says Flawless Victory when he killed Shang Tsung

[@MarkyMarc89]

*9 PROS AND CONS OF 2021’s & 1995’s MK:* *9. The 1995 Film Had A Better Shang Tsung* The Shang Tsung of the 2021 film is lifeless and wooden, with very little expression and backstory to play off of. Even in comparison to the video games, the character is lacking. In comparison, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa's performance in the 1995 film is far more nuanced and expressive. Tagawa injected a certain level of wicked charm and charisma into the character's sinister malevolence, and the result was a far more compelling and entertaining antagonist. *8. The 2021 Film Had Blood, Gore & Fatalities* Yes, it could be argued whatever passed for fatalities in the 1995 film was good enough, but this would be a lie. That movie had barely any blood to speak of, which was a major drawback considering the controversial nature of the video game series at that time. 2021 brings full-scale graphic violence to the Mortal Kombat cinematic world, and it works right out of the box. Its desensitized fanbase might not be screaming their appreciation from the rooftops, but they do agree the introduction of blood, guts and fatalities feels right. *7. The 1995 Film Was Larger & More Adventurous In Scope* One of the biggest criticisms of the 2021 film is just how small in scale the story really is. There's no gigantic tournament to be had, no massive pool of fighters, and no epic martial arts bouts with hundreds of cheering spectators in the background. This is a movie about Earth's lackluster warriors forced to get it together, or face the chop at the hands of Shang Tsung and his gang. The 1995 film was a full-fledged adventure story that took the characters to a strange land, introduced them to a new world, and forced them to adapt. It also focused heavily on the tournament, as opposed to the warmup session that was the 2021 film. *6. The 2021 Film Doesn't Cater To Kids* Mortal Kombat's target audience began at the 14-year-old range; this was a game made for older kids who were thoroughly invested in rebelling against their parents by playing an ultra-violent video game. It's just that simple. Now, those kids are all grown up and still remain fans. Nevertheless, the 2021 Mortal Kombat film isn't out to embrace the underage demographic. It's full of innuendo, crude language and visceral bloodletting, and it does it all without attempting to court a wider audience. It's R-rated for a reason. Take it or leave it. *5. The 1995 Film Features All The Original Characters* Character introduction and development was a big problem in the 2021 film, with many key characters like Liu Kang getting slotted into the nosebleed section to make room for characters like Cole, who were completely unwelcome. This is one of the biggest Achilles Heel moments of the movie. The 1995 film, however, stuck close to its source material. Liu Kang, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage were the principal protagonists alongside Raiden. The story was about them, and how they came together to beat an overwhelming force. To omit Johnny Cage in the 2021 film was a major mistake, and no final act sequel hint is big enough to undo that. *4. The 2021 Film Has Much Better Visual Effects* This one comes as no surprise, given the massive leaps in CGI and visual effects technology since 1995. At the time, Mortal Kombat was delivering some astonishing visuals, some of which still hold up today. Unfortunately, there's a CGI Reptile that can't be unseen, as well as a number of dodgy effects and poor 3D modeling. The differences in how both films handle Goro are night and day, as well. 2021 Mortal Kombat has the edge when it comes to visuals, and it isn't close. The current CGI playbook can easily craft anything the human imagination can conjure up, and it'll be interesting to see how a potential sequel leverages this as it moves forward. *3. The 1995 Film Had A Much Better Liu Kang* One of the biggest annoyances of the 2021 film is how the character of Liu Kang was handled. He's supposed to be the principal hero of the story, yet he's relegated to second class status by the time the credits roll. His only claim to fame is an Animality that ends up overshadowing his character. Robin Shou portrayed Liu Kang in the 1995 film, and to much better effect. He felt more believable, more charismatic, and far more integral to the story. His rivalry with Shang Tsung was also a major focus, while the 2021 film tries to set up a future beef by sacrificing a key character at the end of the middle act. *2. The 2021 Film Had A Better Sonya* Actress Cameron Diaz was reportedly filming Mortal Kombat before she suffered an injury forcing her to drop out. Actress Bridgette Wilson stepped in to fill the role, but it felt like just as much of a mismatch, right from the start. Wilson didn't look the part, nor could she really muster the toughness required for such a character. In the end, she became a damsel in distress. Jessica McNamee played Sonya in the 2021 film, and to much better effect. She felt grounded, believable and right for the role. The character isn't perfect, particularly when it comes to how she gets her chosen status, but she's a marked improvement over her cinematic predecessors. *1. The 1995 Film Had A Better Soundtrack* It may seem odd to give an advantage to a film based on its music, but longtime Mortal Kombat fans know just how important that iconic soundtrack really is. "Techno Syndrome" is forever tied to the Mortal Kombat franchise as a key sonic component of the film's success, and it's impossible not to feel the energy whenever it's played. The 1995 soundtrack also leveraged tracks from such notable acts as Traci Lords, KMFDM, Orbital and Fear Factory by marrying them into scenes from the film. This went a long way to creating a sense of emotion and excitement that just wasn't there in the 2021 film.

The coreography in the 2021 version is decent but the editting is often horrendous which pretty much destroys some of the fights. The 1995 version doesn't have this problem and the flow, framing and intensity is overall better because of it (even with the lack of blood). Speaking of blood, I find it curious that we never actually see any during the fights, only when somebody is killed or finished, which is hard to not think about once you've noticed it and a quite strange decision made by the director. The atmosphare, tone, set design, sinergy, music (which you didn't really mention), overall practicality, and the actuall inclusion of a tournament, all those parts are superior in the original. Sub-Zero and Kano are the two saving grace's of the new movie, a movie that could and should had been better.

[@excaliburknives3572]

I agree with you for the most part. When any characters in the original use their special move the action grinds down to show the impact. Case in point Johnny punching Goro in the nads. Funny don’t get me wrong but the action just stops.

[@syckles]

Just wanted to point out, in the original movie there is blood, when Liu punches Shang during the films final battle. This is because the actor actually hit him, causing him to bleed in the scene.

I knew it was going to be mortal kombat because of the theme at the end of the last video

[@xersys]

Kano didn't have a lazer in his eye until Mortal Kombat 3 which released in 1995. The original mortal kombat movie had already been filmed by that point. In the original mortal kombat game Kano threw a dagger from his boot. Kano was not in mortal kombat 2, and in mortal kombat 3, his eye lazer was a fatality, not a move he could just do. He also turned into a giant tarantula and ate his opponent as a finisher. Do with that info what you will, but I'm glad they didn't include that in the movie either.

​@@mckenseylane8401 I did. I gave a little extra comparison with Mortal Kombat Scorpions Revenge, the animated film. I used to play Call of Duty on the Nintendo DS back in the day. I played a little Battlefield 4 on my PS4 aswell but no, I never got to play Call of Duty. I never had a home console when the good COD games came out. Now I do, and the COD games that are being released are nothing that special from what I hear. So unfortunately I missed out with the Call of Duty craze which is unfortunate.

Johnny Cage is the best character from the Mortal Kombat series as far as personality goes and the fact they didn’t have him in the new movie was the biggest disappointment.

I would say I like Mortal Kombat 2021 better. It's not a great movie, but the action, special effects, and gore are fantastic and 1995 definitely didn't have that. But at least they're both better than Mortal Kombat Annihilation. Great video.
