react to ip man movie
You should do some reactions to certain Nostalgia Critic videos - like for the Mortal Kombat movies.
I grew up loving these movies, so even though it could have been better and Johnny didn’t have to die, I still like it. Plus, it’s what encouraged me to watch the animated series and Mortal Kombat: Conquest (the prequel series when Kung Lao was alive.(Though the ending to THAT didn’t make much sense)) at the time. Trials: 1. Courage, self-esteem, and focus 2. Temptation 3. (Even though it was not made clear enough, the third test IS revealed.) Right before he dies, Raiden reveals that the final test is a test of Liu Kang's faith in Kitana and courage to face Shao Kahn, both of which he has conquered.
@@mohamedm9394 yessir
@@matthewladd5971 I loved the first one ALOT but this one was so cringe even as a kid lol
Eric's excitement over the worst shit is exactly how this movie should always be viewed.
Rick's constant giggling throughout the movie is my favorite part of this 😂😂😂
you mean ricks school girl laugh?
I love it lol
He does love terrible movies. I wonder if they can handle Battlefield Earth?
@@roxtechs Oh dear Christ...
Scorpion: “Suuucckkeeerr” Me: “Wow that was mean... damn” 😭
Imagine Scorpion teleporting away from a living subzero to take a prisoner
NOOOOOO, the guys cut out "Animality, your animality, your animality" that was the best part goddamit
Gotta use those v-bucks on patreon for that
They also cut Jade's fantastic "it was soooooo easy!"
@@Kwap88 I'm fine with that
To be fair, they cut 90% of what they review to try and make you give them $$ to view it all.
@@Jace-xw3ly so it won't get copyrighted, and they didn't react to it like other scenes
11:20 That SUCKERSSSSS broke me lol
Shane: Star Wars Holiday Special Eric: Dragon Ball Evolution Aaron: The Room Calvin: Mortal Kombat Annihilation
Truuuue 😂😂😂
So far Rick is proving a powerful opponent-will he ever be defeated by a bad film?
@@BlakeRPeters It's a show not a movie, but Titans I think brought him pretty close to the breaking point.
@@BlakeRPeters Maybe Original Justice League or Batman Vs Superman
Candyland The Movie
“They recast everyone!!!” Calvin was me back then 🤪
All but Liu Kang’s and Kitana’s actors.
I didn’t even know this second movie existed.
It’s Rick giggling the entire movie for me lmao
Eric imitating how almost everyone moves was brilliant. He just loves all the worst shit and it’s the best. Rick laughing the whole time was great. Calvin reminded me of Aaron when he watched The Room. Literally questioning everything. Aaron just purely enjoyed this. I love these guys lol.
Jesus, Calvin looks more traumatized than any one of them did while watching The Room. 🤣 I love it, everyone else laughing and then there's Calvin, just *staring* at the horror that is this movie.
It was a matter of time. Eric suffered with DB Evolution, Aaron with The Room and Shane with the Star Wars Holiday Special. I don't know if Rick was also traumatized like the others.
@@tefkent Rick had Man of Steel, considering he hated it so much, he didn't show up for the reaction.
Calvin found his Kryptonite.
12:19 Me walking into a buffet for the first time in over a year due to the pandemic.
“.....It is time”
When did Sonya find time to shower and do laundry after the mud fight lol.
And get a brand new hair due aswell lol
This movie is great just because as kids we watched it as an action movie but as adults we can appreciate it for the comedy it is
only some parts are funny. I find watching the whole thing boring because the movie drags when Liu Kang leaves the group.
Too many cuts in the fighting making it lame.
"Hey we got an extra million dollars, but it will cost 5 million to make it look good, just do it." lol
Mortal Kombat (1995): A cheesy (admittedly ridiculous) fun movie Mortal Kombat(1997): A migraine that fits way too much in its runtime
Then why have you seen it 100,000,000 times? Credits included.
Rick laughing his ass off and Calvin having a crisis.... great reaction lol
9:18 I just love that the way in which Liu Kang evades the rocket from Smoke is so ridiculous Calvin can't help but become immediately disgusted and upset
the fact this reaction as well as the The Room reaction are probably my favorite videos from Blind Wave despite having been through several show journeys with them over the years really says something about me
This one, Dragonball Evolution, and the Star Wars Holiday Special purely because of how destroyed Shane was by the end and the epic Kool Aid joke from him are my top 3 reaction videos now from Blind Wave.
Air god/Father of Shao Khan is SUPPOSED to be Shinnok. But he doesn't even look like the one from the games, so I call him Joe. Liu Kang kicked Baraka so hard, he became Rain.
I’m surprised none of them noticed that they used the same shot of rain dying in the fire for Baraka’s death
Rick is wearing the shirt I sent! There is also a mask coming, if you haven't already gotten it. Enjoy!
I visited the VFX studio that worked on this. They had props from the movie all over the place. I guess they were really proud of their work.
The first 40 seconds of this video are my favorite intro that BW has ever done: Eric handling voiceover, Calvin doing the backing, and Aaron just trying to power through LOLOLOLOL
9:16 Loved Aarons reaction
23:44 They really just said "Here's Rain dying again" and nobody cared.
General consensus from Blind Wave about Mortal Kombat Annihilation..."What the F%#! is that!!??" LOL
23:44 That’s literally a flipped version of Rain’s death.
23:43 When Liu kicked Party City-looking Baraka off the thing into the fire pit, the movie straight up just reused the same shot of Rain falling in and thought we wouldn't notice. XD
The best part of this movie is at 1 hour 24 minutes... when Rammstein starts playing in the credits lol Also the thumbnail should totally say Reaktion
How do they stop… Shut up Rick 😂 that killed me
It's Ray Park doing the ridiculous flip when Rayden debuts his new hair cut. You can actually see Ray Park's face when he's about to land the flip.
It's also Ray doubling again for James Remar during that fight scene with the 3 ninja's too later in Outworld. This was his film debut right before playing Darth Maul in Episode 1.
Re-watching this in 2022 and i feel like it gets better and better with Eric's dramatic reenactments. He should redo the MK movies with just him as every character.
and IT IS GLORIOUS!
Annihilation was the greatest movie ever when I was 7 years old
But not so much now?
This movie was my childhood. I don't care how much people make fun of it.
I remember watching this when I was 9 and unironically thought it was amazing. I still think it's amazing but for completely different reasons.
Condolences on a shitty childhood 🤣
@@Ammeeeeeeer you're so cool 😎
36:32 Actually he asked for more money and they answered him by sending him the script so he could read the part where he died.
It's even worse than I remember. I love it! 😂
You love it ?? And i took that personally
I can't believe I forgot about crappy effects monster. My mind is blown I forgot about something so bad. I use to love this movie because it had much more video game moves from game but its hard to ignore everything it is today. Its so funny.
I forgot about Shao Kahn's "Dr.Evil moment" with dumping the minion in the fire pit.
Calvin's laugh kills me every time 😂
I need to see a reaction with Seth Rogen and his laugh side by side. They're both contagious
The box actually says DESTROY ALL EXPECTATIONS, glad the movies self aware
Paul WS Anderson kind of regretted going off doing Event Horizon, because of how shitty Annihilation turned out. He pretty much stayed involved in all of the Resident Evil franchise movies after
It does snow in the desert btw haha. Nice video, keep it up guys!
Rick is having the time of his life, gotta love it! Lol Great reaction, looks like you guys had a blast!
Blind Corridor Wave, VFX Reactions
That’s not even barakka that’s just rain falling into the fire from another angle
I love how Cyrax's intro gives him absolutely no name and rips off the Terminator slow-motion walk to a bass drum thing.
When Eric said "Is that nanobots?" did anybody else say to themselves, "courtesy of Ray Palmer"
aaron should have mimicked how erik always says it and just stare lol.
_Mortal Kombat_ (1995) and _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles_ (1990) are two films that still stand on their own and that future movies will still have to work hard to try and capture that specific 'magic' the originals had. The 1990 TMNT had moments where they had heart like the moment between Splinter and Raph, and the campfire scene. The 1995 MK film was able to be serious and incorporate the video game but not too cheesy or gimmicky. Imo, the opening scene between Bi-Han and Hanzo in the 2021 MK movie had the perfect serious tone with homages to the video game but later in the second act couldn't decide if it wanted to be a superhero film (the music beats were awkward at times; missed opportunity to have an orchestral version of the video game track; e.g. the track you guys have playing at the end of this video at 1:25:33) or serious tournament heroes journey. I enjoyed the new MK film a lot though, I really hope the sequels polish their strengths and fix the flaws. The 2014 TMNT had good action scenes but the movie imo wasn't good and cared little about the lore. Balance can be achieved and is possible.
Calvin: Johnny cage is alive Me:.... for now 😢
Sonya had so much time to tell Jax the whole story. Were they just face to face traveling in that ball in silence for hours?! I’m assuming Jax’s actor got the direction “act more street.” Also why did he have to be on an operation table knocked out just to get some sleeves put on? This movie is truly something else.
The only good fight scene in this movie is Raiden vs Noob Saibot, and that’s because stuntman doing literally all of the fighting in the scene is Ray Freakin Park AKA Darth Maul.
Reptile not noob saibot 😉
Fun fact about nightwolf he is played by the same actor as little bear in Indian in the cupboard
I never understood why Jax was on a surgery table as if his arms got replaced when they were removable metal power sleeves.
Guys PLEASE. I'm begging you to check out the animated movie, Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge! It's absolutely the BEST piece of Mortal Kombat media that's released since the 95 movie in my humble opinion. Some flaws, to be sure, but it gets so much more right than it does wrong. It'd be a shame for it to be passed up because it's an animated movie and not live action.
I loved this reaction because you all just had a WIDEEEEEEE range of emotions for this movie like I did. Had me rolling when Scorpion said, “Suckerrrssss!!!!” Especially with that CGI monster thing like, “wtf is that and why?!” Lmfao! The entire movie is a mess hahaha.
If you were a kid in the 90s this is the movie that taught you that the theater going experience can be truly disappointing.
Now be honest, did yu really not enjoy it as a kid? Or are you speaking out of hindsight? No disrespect by the way.
@@cosesu8929 this movie was my favorite movie played countless times on the vhs over and over while fighting invisible people in my living room lol. It was soooo hype!!!!! The hate for this movie really came out more in the last two years idk
Only reason I can tolerate this film is because I saw it as a 12 year old and it was awesome lol 🤣
Johnny cage is my dude, so i definitely was disappointed
8:14 Shao Kahn isn't nearly big enough. If anything, that's who Malibu should have played. However, if we were to fancast in 1996-97 I'd probably have to say Kevin Nash.
Rick's laugh gives me life. Thanks for this reaction guys, I needed a good laugh!
"Page 62 Johnny Cage dies? Is someone high?!" This movie is the ultimate crapfest, up there with Batman & Robin, both coincidentally came out in 1997.
What, that was a good movie too.
"I’m the star, you’re the stand in."
This was probably the most fun reaction I have watched with you guys. I was dying laughing with you on multiple parts. I really love this movie even with how horrible it is. Thank you guys, made my day.
Rick's laugh is making this for me.
Mortal Kombat: Conquest (1998) came out the next year on TV and looks better. The show had a Xena and Hercules feel, would love to see the guys react to it.
This movie is up there in trying to not to cringe or laugh the entire time alongside Batman and Robin. Also its total bull that they ended Rain so early with no power display. And if Sub-Zero and Nightwolf are good guys, why didn't they appear at the end to help lmao.
II was sticking with it until that 360 no-scope at 24:03
0:16 Petition to make a Blind Wave version of MK acapella theme
Best Line: SCORPION: "SUCKERS!!!" RICK: 😂😂😂
This is probably my favorite reaction video ever. Holy hell.
I watch a lot of blind wave reactions, but this may be my favorite reaction of all time... This shit was hilarious.
I was pretty sure I dreamed this movie after eating some bad mushroom soup and watching the original three times in a row...... so it does exist... I want more soup.
Did they miss the movie showing Rain dying twice? Once when Rain...well...DIES lol. And again when that awful excuse for Baraka was knocked into that fire pit...it's just the footage of Rain falling in again..
I gotta be honest. I was introduced to the reaction community through THE NORMIES. However, over time I have come to love and respect BLIND WAVE. ps, I know yall did it before they did. pps MORTAL KOMBAT
The death shot of baraka and rain is the same hahaha
If the tournament commences in the 2nd film, it’d be the perfect time to put the song as the intro.
They don't address Scorpion coming back from the dead because he was already dead from the beginning of the first movie; he's a damned soul ripped out of hell. Scorpion never became a robot either. Also, the orange ninja was Ermac before his makeover in the modern games.
Cracking up DYING at your reactions to this. Obvious love of the franchise. I also appreciate that you're taking the movie for what it is, total fan cheese. You made me smile several times.
Eric is me enjoying even through it all. A like just for even attempting this movie and especially for Eric singing Dukes of Hazards but no one joined him. I got u Eric😂😂❤
That guy talking to Shao Kahn is suppose to be Shinok Aka Shao Kahn's and Raiden's father in this movie but not in the games
I wished they just cut him out, because not only does he look nothing like Shinok but serves no purpose to the plot other then to scold Shao Kahn and make him look pathetic.
Oh elder gods PLEASE do the Super Mario Bros movie. Or put it on the next poll.
Only reason Sheeva was killed off so quickly was because the VFX for the character didn't work for shit so they just decided to drop the cage on her and that was that.
I love the mortal kombat at the end that transfers into the song
1:13:02 I would've been traumatized if her eyebrows transitioned like that. 🤣🤣
Only good thing about that whole movie...Motaro vs Jax was pretty fun and Ermac vs Sonya looks great !
dey messed up a potential fight sequence wit Cyrax
Nightwolf is a great character and Sindel is one fine MILF.
this movie is a masterpiece i love it so much it's so consistently bad it gives me so much joy.
It could be like the Nostradamus prophecies where we have no idea what the mean till we are in it or it is already past so it could be "A princess of (kitanas home) is the key to the merging of worlds"
Still love this movie after all this time, even inspite of how old it looks. Great reaction, it was hilarious! Lmao!!
i never realized but that baraka shot of him being kicked into the fire is just a mirrored shot of rain again.
This movie doesn't exist in my mind so if this video gets deleted for some weird reason, it'll be ok. Also 21:25 is my absolute favorite part of the video and the movie lmaoooo
You guys commentary is comedy. I couldn’t stop laughing 😂😂
"So Bad, it's Good!" Movie! That Shao Kahn Animality tho'!
You know something is laughably bad when you go up a few octaves, Rick had me rollin lol 😄
I love the energy in these videos. Please watch more bad movies.
I always think "so sad, their minds could've been occupied with memories of so many, so much better films" But then my brain flashes John Leguizamo in a fat suit and clown make-up, screaming LOOK MOM NO HAAANDS and I think, 90's was truly a special time
Yall need to watch "Mortal Kombat Scorpion's Revenge" for the best Mortal Kombat story..💡💡👍
Ah yes the greatest piece of cinema ever made
Aaron and Eric at the beginning! 😂😂you guys are Hilarious
Raiden with short hair looks like a younger Gambi from Black Lightning (because he IS said actor).
Actor of Shao Khan was famous in the X Files as the intimidating Alien Bounty Hunter
Never saw this back in the day. Glad I had Blind Wave's reaction to watch along with it, otherwise there's no way I could have survived this movie. So much of it is on par with early 90's low budget bad TV show levels. On the other hand it was fun to recognize a few actors: Shao Kahn - vampire (Luke) in the first two episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sindel - Natalie French in episode 4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Raiden - Harry Morgan in Dexter, and various other roles Shinnok - Dukhat in Babylon 5
I do like subzero and scorpions outfits in this one
