@@Lunareste Yeah, you could see and feel her satisfaction with every hit she got on Kano, and feel her pain when she got backhanded across the face and kicked in the stomach while she was down.

That's because earlier in the film, Shang Tsung told Kano. "Remember. She's not to be harmed only humiliated. I have plans for my sweet Sonya" Shang wanted her alive. Kano was promised money by Shang not to harm Sonya. Also, Kano in film said that he believed in a fare fight "One on one, hand to hand, man to man" Him bringing a knife into this fight was not in his character. Notice how he never tried to pick up the knife at any point in this fight.

Plus, Sonya was supposed to have one more fight in the movie's script against Jade(one of Shang Tsung's bodyguards) after Art Lean's funeral. She almost loses that fight and is wrecked until she is reminded by Raiden that she shouldn't be scared to ask for help. Sonya rallies to beat Jade.

[@Hustlehology]

@@ladyfire44 I've never heard of that, sounds interesting. Where did you hear this?

[@ladyfire44]

IMDB and Wikipedia. There were some scenes in the script that were supposed to be in the movie that were never shown. 1. Johnny Cage finally escaping Scorpion's lair to face a nub waiting for him before Liu Kang's fight with Kitana. He naturally wins that fight. 2. Reptile originally had no involvement in the first movie and was omitted. Possibly, Anderson was trying to save him for the 2nd movie. 3. Shang Tsung giving the Earth Warriors time to mourn Art Lean and give him a funeral in the Garden of Statues. Kitana secretly attends it and she shows sympathy for them because it is similar to how she lost her parents in Outworld during Shao Kahn's invasion. Art is buried under the statue of the Great Kung Lao(Liu's ancestor). It's from there, he, Cage and Sonya finally understands what's at stake for Earth. 4. After Art Lean's funeral, Sonya is confronted by a kimono clad Jade(whom is one of Shang Tsung's bodyguards) and their fight begins. Unlike her fight with Kano, it proved to be much harder for her. Despite being dressed in a kimono, Jade's fighting skills are superior due to her early training in Outworld. Sonya is wrecked and almost loses that fight until she is reminded by Raiden's words. This helps her rally and beat Jade. 5. Liu Kang was originally going to fight Sub Zero(still under Shang Tsung's influence) in Outworld after he narrowly escapes his death. It was switched after the negative reaction from the test audiences. Sub Zero was given an early death and Reptile fights Liu Kang in Outworld.

After seeing the new movie, I understand why Kano doesn't use his laser eye in combat. The VFX artists couldn't animate an amazing laser (with the exception of the Death Star).

Fun Fact: In the original arcade games, Kano was suppose to be Japanese. But the movie had an Austalian styled Kano. The movie so popular that the games soon followed now we have every Kano as like the movie.

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

@@dieterrosswag933 well, I mean Mortal Kombat as a franchise is based on a mash up of Big Trouble in Little China, JCVD movies, Enter the Dragon and Sword and Sorcery/Frank Frazetta artwork, so it's definitely always been far more based on Western media than any authentic representation of Asian culture. I think Kano is more interesting and charismatic as a cockney/Australian than he was in his original design but a big part of that is probably down to the limitations of videogames compared to film; as you could barely make out the original actor's face in any detail, especially with the mask.

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

@@dieterrosswag933 even given that the actual story isn't great and the characters are inconsistent I think MK is one of the most distinctive fantasy settings out there. There's not really anything like it that has been nearly as well developed (admittedly we're comparing it to Way of the Warrior and Tattoo Assassins). It's a bit like the Warhammer 40K of fighting games in that it's just a bunch of random stuff smashed together but it's so ridiculous that it ends up being fairly compelling as a setting (the main difference being that Games Workshop commissions novels from people who specialise in writing stories to order and MK is very much the product of a fairly limited number of people who also have other priorities to address.).

[@Corellian]

I remember when I first watched this movie that I got all frustrated by Sonya not being played by Cynthia Rothrock or someone more convincing, but Bridgette Wilson made it work because she was into it 100%, I've read she was a replacement flown in to shoot Mortal Kombat the same day she wrapped up another movie and didn't have much time to train, so the fact she still sold the moves as well as she did (I love that they kept when she does a spinning kick and falls over) is a testament to her comitment.

[@bucksboyblue]

She actually replaced Cameron Diaz who broke her hand in training. The fact that Bridgette Wilson didn't have time to properly train likely lead to her having such little screen fight time which is a shame, especially since they also cut a confrontation between her and Jade from the movie too.

[@prprince11]

You know as much as I love this movie and especially the character Kano. I really wish this fight lasted a little but longer and made BOTH characters have a moment to shine. I pictured the fight being more in Kano's favor...being cocky and taunting her most of the match while pretty much dodging and countering most of Sonya's moves. He would get the upper hand and pretty much body/manhandle her only for him to get overconfident and Sonya would finally turn the tide in her favor and eventually get the win.

[@dwaynemorash]

I always thought that Bridgette got kicked in the stomach for real. Good acting if you look at her face when she gets hit

[@chasebrewersr.2467]

@@chasebrewersr.2467 the fight cheography is bad but the reason why is cos bridgette wasn't the original choice to play sonya. Cameron diaz was but she pulled out due to an injury and bridgette replaced her and because she had no experience in screen combat thats why its so bad

Agreed. However, I like Josh Lawson's Kano over this Kano. Mortal Kombat 2021 live action Kano is the best Kano yet. Why? Because that Kano was more charismatic and cursed more but was just as evil. If Josh Lawson's Kano had the metal face though, he would even be more improved.

Little known fact: Shang Tsung wasn't going to urge Sonya to kill Kano, but after that gut kick damn near snatched her soul out, Shang Tsung decided to remind Kano who the true soul stealer is. On a serious note though, why did they have this fight on sand? Especially considering that Sonya's actress hadn't been able to train much.
