Baraka in this movie looked like something out of a goosebumps TV show episode to me
The Haunted Mask
Such a ramdom character... This movie was based on MK3, so his appearance doesnt make sense at All...
brunobelz They tried to fuse MK2 with MK3, yet Kung Lao was absent 🤦🏼♂️
Yes he looked trash
Ya he fugly lol
I just love how at 2:19, Liu Kang kicks Baraka off that cage so hard that Rain falls to his death instead.
Was rain disguised as baraka?! 🤣🤣
@@BRIANOCONNOR2003apparently they liked to reuse scenes
I've seen this movie soo many times and never even noticed 😅😂
I read your comment as soon as i saw it and CACKLED so hard! I cant believe ive never noticed that🤣💀🤣💀🤣💀
Budget cuts!!
Kitana: "It's a trap, Liu. Leave!" Acting level: 10, 000 y.o. pornstar.
some pornstars could actually do better, and don`t ask me why I know it lol
@@insertanynameyouwant5311 Guess you're one of those hardworking ones who constantly do "research" about famous people, huh? Good on ya, mate! 😂
@@Z4U3398 hm, no, I've just seen better performances in that area, no long researches or so
@@insertanynameyouwant5311 Lol! "Long" research. Ok, ok... 🤣👍
I think even porn stars with act better than that
I love how Sheeva appears just to get killed within 3 seconds
The most unintentionally funny death in the movie 🤣😂
The date's over 🤣
Bummer, too. The effects of her four arms actually looked pretty good.
Well, I guess she was no Goro.
Me too
Baraka’s costume made the 90’s Mighty Morphing Power Rangers villains look like a work of art.
lmao i don't know how to handle this comment because love the original power rangers and i thought the same thing about baraka when i first seen it
Because they are a work of art. Power Rangers looked better than Mortal Kombat 1997.
На нём украинская вышиванка
Jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja 😂
@@multiverse_media2023 Mortal Kombat 1995 Was Good! 👍 Mortal Kombat Annihilation 1997 Was Appalling! 👎
Damn, Kitana‘s actress got the emotions of a rock in a lake.
Dude, she's 10,000 years old...
Excuse me
@@natetheplug7994 shitty movie this one but thats a good argument lol. If anybody would live 10,000 years im sure they'd have no emotion.
She obviously didn't give a damn about this movie, and neither should we.
She was a lot better in the first one lol.
2:21 Woowwwww!!! Liu Kang kicked Baraka soooo hard that Rain fell into the fire pits !!🤣🤣😂😂😂
Oh dude I just barely noticed that😆😆😆
Confused
@@megaman4195 This movie has a low budget. Chris stuckman ( the movie reviewer on youtube) talked about how they got rid of Sheeva because they couldn't afford her anymore. Her extra arms were cgi or something. But the baraka rain thing is the most hilarious to me
@@ethiopianphenomenon6574 what you mean CGI, that was photoshoped lol 2:35
@@lechar92 hahhaha right?
Fun fact about this scene. Ray Park is the guy in the Baraka outfit on this scene. Yes, that Ray Park that played Darth Maul.
It's Ray Park, Dennis Keiffer and JJ Perry behind those masks.
Wtf fr ray park is a great performer
literally the only fun thing about the scene
Oh yeah, Ray Park, the wife beater.
@@patrik3482 not sure you got the right guy bro
I can’t believe this really made the cut. Baraka looks like someone who shows up for a Halloween party.
A professional hollywood movie bro. Wild. I can do better with a few friends
Who bought a costume an hour before arriving at the party
Their was a couple cool scenes but God awful movie . 😄 I'm not a filmmaker but how could someone approve this to be released.
This was made back in the 90s. The 90s had a lot of crazy stuff like this. CGI wasn't at the level it was at now, and a lot of movies had to make due with what they had (which often meant they had to do practical effects).
@@Hei_Darkfire bro shit from the 70s looked better than this crap
Sheeva: The dates over!!! *gets killed instantly*
LOL behave!😄
Stage fatality :D :D
Stay tuned for the next video Liu Kang and Kitana vs Sheeva...Oh nevermind.
Lawrence the Explorence I guess that was her only line in thru the whole movie after she gets killed off. lol 😂
Fatality
That fight with Sheeva was badass
Lmao lasted about 2 seconds
yeah. it was both "bad" and "ass".
Shame since I like Sheeva. Is there a reason why the fights ended with things falling on people instead of actual fighting? Sheeva is the main on my arcade machine. I'm glad she was in MK11. Hoping she is in this new one or at least a Shokan. Motaro could be a Kameo character.
@CountSnowbury considering how...inexpensive this scene looks, they probably didn't have a good way of using her 4 arms in a fight. They even knew Barakas look was ass, you only see his face for a few moments and the rest is covered in shadows, select angles, and quick shots.
😂🤣🤣🤣
Rain cameo in Baraka's Death is GODLIKE!
"It's a trap, Liu!" Oh gee, thanks Kitana. Thanks for telling Liu Kang AFTER Baraka nearly decapitates him
She probably didn't know till Baraka came.
@@jeffcase7827 she could've tell him "he's here somewhere" or "he's on your right"
@@CamSiv996 It's possible she only noticed the same time Liu did, or the cage has crappy visibility.
@@jeffcase7827 or... this movie sucks.
@@victorcoyenn It's all Subjective.
My dude baraka looking like he just got off his shift at wendys
Damn, Liu Kang kicked Baraka so hard he turned him into Rain.
Lol and if you look closely at 2:21you can see a hand helping him with the fall
Lmaooo
Rain….this will never happen again! 🔨
@@pk6668 oh wow I never noticed That
@@Soulkollextor but apparently......IT DID
I love how Baraka just stands there and allows Liu to Jean Claude Van Damme kick his jaw out of place lmao
He basically watched him spin like three fuckin times until the kick landed.
I love how Baraka has the chance to stab Liu in the throat but puts both blades away from his head instead.
Fo real! That was ridiculous 🤣🤣
Like "wow! That's amazi..." [BOOM] "OWWWW!"
@@angelajennings1633 7😮
This scene perfectly encompasses this whole movie. Everything was cheap, lazy, and bad.
But sicc as fucc still
Yeah. The piss poor reception for this one killed any chance of a 3rd MK movie
@Mr. Man I think the sequel to this one would've been call mortal kombat: devastation had this been successful
@Mr. Man yup. Devastating enough to kill the movie franchise
@Mr. Man The upcoming reboot will be rated "R" and will include fatalities.
Would've been a better fight if they didn't reuse Rain's death scene.
lmao after all these years and you just made me realize that. Smh wow they can't do shit like that no more! Tnx
@@silentneo1431 no problem.
Or the stunt man during raiden’s fight🤣
I never even noticed that before. How lame. lol!
Nobody liked him anyway
"It's a trap Liu, leave!" Thank you for that, I didn't realize that until the flying monster with the blade was trying to kill me.
Baraka looks like he just finished a double shift bussing at Applebee's
Lmfao
they just picked the first costume from party city
Lmfao
Yo soy más feo que baraka
Damnnn 😂
Lmfao
lmaoo literally when they walked into the store 😂😂😂
This just becomes one of those movies you randomly decide to watch with your friends when you're all up super late, really drunk or high and want something to watch you can all make fun of together but still find a way to enjoy watching it
Literally just did that 🤣
Just like Sharknado
Lol back in high school, my friends wanted to rent a comedy so I showed em this 🤣
Summarised perfectly 👌🏼
Speak for yourself. I willingly chose tl watch this film sober and still enjoyed it. (P.S. I had no friends and I wasn't in the legal drinking age when I watched this film).
Someone else noticed that in the minute 2:19 he kicks Baraka but the one that falls the fire is the recycled scene of when Shao Kahn kills Rain? You also see the hand of someone who helps Rain in the fall, I recommend you to see it at 0.25x speed
No. Liu's kick was just so powerful it changed Baraka's appearance and that the fire felt pity for Baraka and cushioned his death.
Sparing money :D
I like how Sheeva never appaears before this moment and only shows up randomly to get killed by an over-sized bird cage.
She showed up flexing in the opening and argued with Motaro for a few seconds, but I think thats about it.
Baraka....just another Badass Character the writer dropped the ball on.
The games did that to him since his debut...then 11 undid his decay.
@@ravenblackheart555 You mean Dvorah did that. Killing OGs left and right lol
Gocaine Baraka has had badass decay going on ever since his debut. I’ve been with the series since I was FOUR, watching my older brother play. Baraka’s character definitely became derailed as his appearances went on, even before X. 11 completely fixed all of that by giving him some development, along with the rest of the tarkatans. Baraka actually managed to become my brother’s favorite character again because of 11.
I'm glad Baraka got redemption in MK11, they should continue to develop his character. Maybe even give him a top card chapter in a future installment.
I always envisioned a great horror like reveal for Baraka - with ominous background music playing, he turns his face towards the camera/hero in darkness and then thunder and lighting reveal his hideous face to the viewers.
@1:07 Looks like Baraka's dancing to the song's beat. . . 😆
Lol
I swear you stupid XD I just noticed that little leg jig he did good eyes
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m dead wtf
This made me laugh hard
what is absolutely hilarious is this movie actually had a LARGER budget than the first one
Much larger budget that quickly got slashed by executive meddling...that and they wanted to shove WAY too much into a film and oversaturated it.
I always assumed the blew most of the movie budget on cocaine 😆
Facts!
3 words Development From Hell
As a child , this movie was everything to me . I still enjoy it to this day
I am with you on this one friend. In some ways… there are things about this film I like more than the first.
Looks like a shallow childhood to me. Im sorry :D
@@loganit0 Not really. We just enjoyed movies more back then. Nowadays it's popular to hate on every movie that comes out, but back in the 90s we watched movies to be entertained despite how bad they looked sometimes.
@@Hei_Darkfire i also was growing up with the movies, just with the decent ones. For each his own I guess!
The first mortal Kombat was better than the 2nd one
Ronnell Hillman and 2+2 = 4
@@crypastesomemore8348 best answer ahahah
Kitana and..... Forget it,
Ronnell Hillman agreed
Ofc. The second 1 was very rubbish.
2:21 LOOK! They reused the same shot of Rain falling down the fire pit. 😂
Forreal, did they seriously think nobody would notice?
Rain is such a shit character that he died twice in the same movie. Yea that shit was lazy as hell but, screw Rain.
Did you notice at 0:56, you can see the stuntman's mouth behind Baraka's teeth? 😂😂😂
@Brandon George How cheap are those guys?!
@@rickygames6646 _I_ didn't pay attention :(
You know it’s the 90’s when Baraka rocking the hoop earring on his left ear.
“It’s a trap Liu leave!!!!” “No shit I just almost lost my scalp” 😂😂😭🤣
I can’t believe that this movie scored 12 oscars back in the 90s . Such a great movie .
2:21 do you see the human hand.
Wasn't as good as the first one.
@@marcocastillo1087 1:21
@@marcocastillo1087 this is the hand from Hell
@@albertsantos9966 First one was trash. Most overated movie ever. Second one was the ish
That spin kick move at 1:25 is actually Tony Jaa's stunt double for Robin Shou.
Really?
@@eminagayev5572 yep Tony Jaa did his stunts like this. Man if you have ever seen Ong Bak The Thai Warrior this kick that predates that movie can be seen in it too.
I recommend Ong Bak as well
@@necurrence1776And Tom Yum Goong for sure
Mortal Kombat Annihilation Writers: “Fuck it”
Man. The creature design for Baraka is absolutely laughable.
1:07 - *when “We Have Explosive!” started playin I lost it in the movies when I was younger!* *this movie was the SHIZZNIT back in the day!!*
Still questioning the music that played after it
This is actually the first clip I've ever watched of this movie after walking out on it as a kid (well....not totally my choice but my older siblings', but still). If there were doubts as to whether walking out was the right call, they're laid to rest now.
2:20 lol that's Rain. They recycled the scene from the Shao Kahn briefing!
2:20 Liu Kang Killed Baraka☠️🔥
Even as a kid I was able to recognize this was one of the best fight scenes in cinematic history. The score, the tense buildup, the unbelievable costume work. A true classic.
What are you even talking about, the costume sucked Lol
You're a nostalgia freak aren't you?
Dude you must have been smoking some mad weed in 97 😂 there's waaaay better fight scenes throughout cinematic history than this
@@satansjihad6353 Real talk! lmao Looked like some Power Rangers sh*t! XD
If you look closely when Baraka is falling onto the fire you will realize that they used a previous scene of ninja falling onto the same fire flames. I think that was so disrespectful to the audience.
DASHIE VOICE: LU KANG YOU REALLY GOIN DO ME LIKE THAT
🤣I 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
YES!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Dashie should dub over this scene since it was a joke anyway.
The thing is I did it in the way dashie would say it 😂
"That was cute Liu that was cute, but don't think I forgot about that fatality you did to me back on episode 2"
Sheeva: I'm excited to face-off against Johnny Cage today! Director: I don't recall that scene... Sheeva: Wait, doesn't it say in the script I'm gonna be killed by Johnny Cage? Director: No, not Johnny Cage, an inanimated cage. Sheeva: Oh...
Both Goro and Sheeva were killed by Cage ))
LOL))))
Its because the Sheeva arm cgi wasnt working right and they had low budget so they just stuck with her getting crushed
Man, Talisa Soto was a pleasure to look at. One of my first childhood crushes!
My favourite movie of all time. I met the Director a few years back and he said this was his crowning jewel, I've always felt this was an under-rated Masterpiece.
Man this shit is weak af they could’ve made this shit so much better 😂😂😂
Lol no the first movie is a masterpiece this movie is awful
How is this your favorite movie lmao this shit is horrible. Barakas face looks like a terrible, jokester Halloween costume lmfao
@@shawnbass-ig2bv he made what the natives call “a joke”
Dang if this is his crowing jewel guess being dog 💩 makes you hit your peak as a director then. I’ll take note of that from now on. Nah jk as a side note i dont mind this film.
Imagine having three foot swords on each hand and losing to an unarmed man
He had the kill, but villains have to be theatrical
I read this as "three foot-swords". Like, swords on his feet. 😅
@@haydenberends3905 😭😭
That's becsuse he didn't use them to disarm the man.
What was the point of including Sheeva in the movie, if she was gonna just die like that?? It's not like she was an MK2 game character...
I believe this film is meant to be mk2 and mk3 in one
@@oliverbean6955 This movie is more MK3 than MK2... MK2 didn't have Cyber Smoke, Cyrax, Motaro, Sheeva, Nightwolf, Ermac, Rain... Rain and Sheeva were absolutely pointless, they were just put in the film to have stupid deaths... Jade had more storyline, but she had a stupid death also, she could have been the final fight for Sonya, instead of Ermac.
@@brunomgpinto Ermac didn't even have his telekinetic powers, instead they used Noobs.
@@Gideon13397 The whole movie was pretty bad written.
Apparently, they were running short of money, so they decided that activating her arms electronically were too costly, so they killed her off quickly.
Baraka is my favorite character, so it hurt me to see them disrespect him like this😂
Kitana: "It's a trap Liu, leave" My mother asks me to buy potatoes in this tone.
Cringed the entire time but this was my childhood 🤦🏾♂️😂.
Even as a kid I thought this movie sucked compared to the first one 😂
@@therealwewin The movies were only 2 years apart but even back then, when I was a kid, I knew the second movie was objectively worse than the first.
As a kid I took it for what it was, a game turned movie. Even tho it was poorly made im still thankful for this turd.
Xd
I legit thought this movie was good fun, didn't take itself seriously, campy and lots of unintended laughs. When I was 8 I unironically loved it
LMFAO, she tells him it's a trap AFTER he attacks Liu. GREAT TEAMWORK 10/10
This is truly one of the fighting scenes of all time
“It’s a trap, Liu. Leave!” Could’ve told me that BEFORE the mutant freak with the sword arms lunged at me?!
They must’ve spent 60 bucks on Barakas makeup
More like 60 cents
That's wasn't makeup that was a halloween mask from Party City
Jeffree Starr probably did it
LMAO 😅😅😅😅😅
Even the actress who played Sheeva was not happy she didn’t get a chance to embrace the character enough
2:42 WTF Sheeva dies so easly in this movie!? Bruh she deserve a better participation, like a figth scene, Poor Sheeva A example of making movies when you dont have money 😭
The film had bad story line, terrible CGI. However, to be honest, they showed many characters from video game into live action which was incredibly awesome back then and made me blissful.
The part that sucks is almost all if them barely used their abilities! Ermac was pointless
@@supdawg2559 rain, sheeva & noob were pointless too, theres no reason for them to be in this movie if they were gonna be used so terrible, they wasted scorpion & sub-zero too like they should've been in the movie way longer since neither of them died, sub-zero should've went with liu kang & scorpion was the one that took kitana so he should've fought liu kang here, that wouldve been better then this baraka fight
2:20 if you put in slow motion you can see a hand preparing to hold Baraka (Rain) when he falls
Lool really
LOL, I was just about to comment on it, so glad someone else saw it
Even as a little kid watching this I caught when Liu kicked baraka off the cage they made rain fall into the fire again from earlier lmfao
The Rain death. LOL! What a horrific movie. I remember walking out of the theatre like, "WTF did we just watch?!"
Baraka look like a power rangers villain
Tony Jaa is awesome in this scene - he doubles Robin a lot. The flip from the ground is him and we get one of his signature spin kicks, years before Ong Bak.
@@RandoLePerson Ray Park, Dennis Keiffer and JJ Perry were the Baraka actors
Fun Fact: They reused the clip of Rain when Shao Kahn hit him with his hammer and fell into the fire pit and used that same scene for Baraka’s death
I learned it from Dead Meat please don’t attack me 🙏
Budget for this had to be super cheap
Lmao damn that was lazy af
They made the mars attacks cgi bad on purpose
@@Daniel-nv2wy I just watched his kill kount yesterday so its ok bro
Oh wow. I almost forgot what pieces ofmusic this movie did have. That one there is actually Future Sounds Of London with either "we have explosives" or " herd killing". That was also used in Wipeout XL.
2:20 it's a ninja, not baraka, falling in the fire 😂😂😂
Lol
That kick on Baraka was the best thing about this movie.
Epic EPIC battle! Surely never forgotten
*Film crew:* "It's gonna be a pain in the ass to choreograph a fight with Sheeva" *Director:* "I have an idea"
I felt bad for Sheeva, she should have more airtime.
1:22 to 1:27 thats actually Tony Jaa!! he was stunt double for that kick
Wow! I just learnt something today.. Haha 👍
Really? Wow that's awesome.
I don't what that kick was at 1:24-1:27, but it certainly looked like it hurt
I did not know that. My first Tony Jaa movie was Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior.
wait what really????? I'm a huge tony jaa and mk fan but i did not know this
I like the way Baraka wobbled from the violence he felt when Liu Kang smashed his face with the chain that held Kitana’s prison. 😂
I love how barakas clothes are pristine, not a tear or a piece of dirt. That jail has some strict rules about cleanliness.
To add insult to Rain fans, it shows another footage of Rain falling to his death the second time.
Shiva dying because a cell fell on her is just too damn funny. She didn't deserve to die this way. LMAO.
Wow Liu Kang hit Baraka so hard it knocked Rain out of the fire and back in again.
The purple lighting of this movie was perfect
Made with a production budget of 10 dollars....lmao!
Kills me tht thia film had a higher budget than the first
The only good thing about this movie was the music
Very true
Fight scenes were pretty good.
@@xXx3OOOv2 No, they were terrible
And the end. As in, IT'S FINALLY OVER! There's $3.75 I'll never get back...
Bro the music in this scene was someone smashing their head on a piano
Practical effects made this look like a Home Video
Baraka looks like Baby Sinclair from “Dinosaurs”
Now that im older. They look slow as hell fighting lol
I like how they made Sheeva very attractive and hot, even in the latest MK game. I definitely think she is one hot woman with those nice curves

Uy! Justo la vi ayer!!! Muy bueno 👏👏👏🔝
Baraka is still a *"Jobber"* as ever in this Movie.
I'm surprised his mask didn't come off when he kicked him in the face 🤷
C'mon guys the cage falling on Sheeva is a reference to Liu Kang's MK3 fatality of dropping the arcade (object) onto Sheeva. It's also a reference to Johnny Cage's line, you just got cage.
Sheeva: "The dates over 👯♀️" Also Sheeva: 👹🕷️⚰️ Kitana and Liu: 🗿🗿
2:32 the dates over 😂
Without the Lui kang and kitana actors the movie would of been unwatchable
Fights two creatures with blade arms. Comes out with not a single scratch. Even the terminator got fucked up before he shot the bad guy down to the lava
The quality of this film makes it look like a made for TV movie.
2:41 Hey we have to pay for a CGI fight.. what?, nono.. we are gonna solve this in a very easy way.
Fun Fact: Tony Jaa was a stand-in for most of this fight sequence, as Robin Shou was filming other scenes at the time.
U can also see he face in the scene with Jade
*That wasn't fun.*
Super cool. I am a great fan of Mortal Kombat. I love it.
They did Sheeva so dirty in this fight. A total non factor in this movie.
