Opening (Raiden vs Shao Kahn) | Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)

[@setsunaemblem]

I was 7 years old when this came out. I begged everyone in my family to come see this movie, cause it was gonna be so awesome just like the 1st.

James Remar as Raiden at least sounds like he's trying to give it his all, and compared to some of the others, he's not that bad. He's an underrated actor, but he just happens to show up in films that aren't the best-received.

James is underrated because he got blacklisted for his drug problems (he later got clean) he was originally cast as hicks in aliens (he is actually in a few scenes that made the final cut) but got booted out of the uk because of drugs.

[@theshinythunderclappokemon5830]

I get that killing Johnny Cage both angered and saddened many people, but can we all take a moment to remember the fact that he charged at Shao Kahn to save Sonya Blade, knowing he would surely die. That takes a lot of courage to do that, and given his reputation before the Tournament, that was the most selfless act to do: Losing your life to save the lives of those you love.

[@Agustinp-sd5ii]

I mean, yes, if done right, it could have been a really powerful and sentimental scene. But clearly, for some reason, the writers of this movie didn't want to make a great ending for Johnny Cage, they just wanted to get rid of him for some reason. Had he died in the final Mortal Kombar scene and then have Sonya take revenge would have been better but they would have to rewrite the entire movie to fit Johnny in it.

[@jayno3029]

I'm going to dislike this because Shao Kahn didn't decapitate him in horrific fashion and leave left a bloody headless corpse.

Except that wasn't Johny Cage. And that wasn't Sonya Blade. And that wasn't Raiden. And that wasn't Ja - WTF?! This studio!! Its one thing not casting one guy the same, but is it even still the same movie franchise when just about everyone is recast?

[@DanakarEndeel]

@@meg-k-waldren Yeah, only Liu Kang (Robin Shou) and Kitana (Talisa Soto) were portrayed by the original cast from MK1. Everybody else was recast for some reason. Heck, I liked the original Sonya (Bridgette Wilson) a lot more compared to this random forgettable blonde (no offense to the MK2 actress Sandra Hess). Same with Raiden; Christopher Lambert was awesome in his role as Lord Raiden imo. Now this new Raiden (James Remar) did his best, but his Raiden character behaved completely different from Lambert's portrayal, had terrible lines, and that "it's a new look" short haircut was just horrible imo. He just didn't look like Raiden at all anymore. Shao Kahn also felt more like a random brawn-over-brains musclehead with zero charcter depth; especially when he took his mask off. Imo he should have kept his mask on the entire time and have someone else do his voice; because his own voice made him sound ... dumb. Then again, bad writing and bad lines; so even at his best he wouldn't have been able to save the movie. Heck, his father was even less intimidating and that guy was supposed to be an Elder God. He looked like just an old guy in a Halloween cloak pretending to be a wizard or something. Lord Raiden: recast Johnny Cage: recast (and randomly killed off at the beginning of the movie) Sonya Blade: recast Jax: recast Scorpion: recast; but he was killed in MK1 by Johnny Cage... Then again Scorpion is some kind of demonic entity so he might have come back from hell or something Shao Kahn: kinda recast but in MK1 it was just a CGI character with Frank Welker providing the voice at the very end of MK1 But yeah, recasting 4 out of your 6 main protagonists wasn't a good look. Ah well, there's a reason I only have the original Mortal Kombat (1995) on blu ray. This 'sequel' was completely forgettable. Such a shame though as a lot of MK fans were looking forward to "Annihilation" but were incredibly disappointed by this sequel after having seen MK1 just 2 years earlier. I guess maybe the other original cast members either had better things to do or perhaps they read the garbage script and declined to reprise their role or something. 😜
