This wasn't even a fight this was just a dance battle. And I freaking loved it.
This dance fight is Capoeira from Brazil
@Elliot Free bad ass movie
All these gen z who never seen only the strong
That it was so unique about it To be honest i think this on of the bast fights in the movie, i just wish it was longer… the vibe of that fight 👌
This fight scene is hard lol wym
Director: “This scene is missing something.” Raiden: “More flips?” 🤷♂️
Raiden: I know lets do this kick thing in front of each other's face that outta get the audience pumped
Underated comment lmao
@DaGoat idk bout all that but ok. 🤣
Nope... the third reptile goes M.I.A (missing in action)
Time for the Icing on the cake at 3... 2... 1... 0:15
The fact that they talk about how important Sindel is to the plot, then show us Raiden fighting some random ninjas instead of the battle vs Sindel is such a wild choice.
Well, I mean, it makes sense given what we find out later.
The actress playing Kitana was slow and stiff af.. The actress playing Sindel is older and probably has even less experience choreographing fight scenes.. I'm sure they did us a favor 😅 the actress playing Sonya seemed like she maybe has familiarity with actual martial arts or at least choreographing fights, she was a beast
Right lol
Stunt doubles probably got paid more than the actors 😂
Yup that's what i thought
1:42 You and your friend trying to figure out controlls.
Lmaooooo🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
Underrated comment. 🤣🤣🤣
Seriously tho! Kills the whole fight scene
Brooooo 😭😂😂😂
This entire movie is a group of friends jumping from exotic club to exotic club fighting drunk people to the sound of 90s Eurodance!
Not even single track on the OST is eurodance.
First dislike
Hahahahahaa
with stunts doing most of the fighting scenes
kzhead.info/sun/fdamotubmHiaips/bejne.html
The 3rd reptile be chillin on a rock watching his friends get punched through walls 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
3rd reptile is ray park darth maul
Reptiles: "What are you doing?" Raiden: "Dance off bro"
The actress who played Sindel is having A LOT of fun in her role.
I see a lot of people complaining about the flipping like that’s not all you did in the game to get close to your opponent
🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoooo
Damn this makes way to much sense
😂
😂
1:42 when you’re trying to fight, but you’re Social Distancing
lmao perfect!
Lol this is underrated!
Three reptiles. Only fought two. Sindel taken out off screen. And they literally filmed James remar spinning in a circle without lifting his leg to edit between the stunt double doing repeated spinning kicks. That’s priceless.
And Raiden transform into Ray Park.
Still better than Cole Young the movie.
How old was James while filming this?
@@MasterMacLeod 48 ?
It's as bad as I remember. 1:57 that's almost a close up. What were they thinking? Worse yet, what was there, in that cut, that guy in his 40's couldn't repeat?
I know it isn’t Oscar worthy, but the guy really made Raiden his own! Nice performance and solid fighting!
You should be praising the stunt double lol
The one did the whole performance is stunt double
Christopher Lambert will always be Raiden
This is academy award worthy
I don't understand why people talk so badly about this movie, it has the best fights in a mortal kombat movie, even better than the first and the reboot, it's more faithful to the characters besides the fact that almost all of them appear in a single movie. I know the special effects and some dialogue are bad but damn it's a movie based on a fighting game! And it's actually not bad as people say
Who noticed that there were 3 ninjas at first? but he fought only 2 of them. lol
Wake Up the third one ran when he found out he was a god
One of them was playing pick a boo behind a large pole,
Lol
Dude its fuck up
He had to take a toilet break. he had ate too much dragon hot sauce to increase the acidity of his venom ealier.
Raiden's uppercut throwing Reptile through the roof is a nice reference to MK3 stage's interaction, when you give an uppercut and the opponent goes flying through the roof in some stages.
No shit Sherlock.
But raiden is mortal in this scene, how can he be so strong enough to give an uppercut and makes someone flying though the roof?
@@stereodan7180 have u seen what Johnny or Sonya can do?
@@Typicalcs True, If it was raiden with his godhood he probably would've uppercutted him through the entire building lol
@@stereodan7180 MK logic
1:15-1:20 When you friend shows off with his flips, and all you can do is hop.
How many unecessary backflips should we perform on the scene. James Remar and the Reptiles: YES
The theme of the fight was capoira.
Pero la escena de las volteretas está mejor que toda la película del 22. 😎
“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!” - Sindell, 1997
Lol 😆
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I lol'd sooo damn hard when she randomly shouted them out. It was so unexpected
before The Matrix soundtrack there was Mortal Kombat
Blade was another classic with great late 90s music
How about Beowulf?
How about Power Rangers?
Both MK soundtracks are great
SPAWN soundtrack was decent as well.
Fun Fact: At 1:57 Raiden's stunt double is actually Ray Park who played Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace
They made absolutely NO attempt to hide that stunt doubles face LMFAO
LMAO right like even the stunt guy's body mass is different. Im laughing so hard replaying it.
Where at?
Fucking right?!
@@Trixxx4dayz 1:45
Like Bo' Rai Cho advised during Shujinko's training "Do not assume that offensiveness is the correct path to victory! A hasty retreat can give you space to plan your next attack."
Say what you want about this film. For me, as a kid, it was amazing.
Even though I was 12 when this came out I could obviously see that it was trash compared to the first one. It was extremely disappointing for fans of the video games like me.
Worst movie ever
balalaika 123 big facts bro. I had it on vhs
Ясен пень, в 97м году это была вышка )))
Yeah, but when you became an adult you realized how much it sucked ass!
Say what you will about the flipping and jumping but the music in this movie is still pretty badass. As an MK fan since childhood, I remember being hyped up watching these scenes back in the late 90's while still having a good laugh at how absurd it was. The music just brings it altogether. The track during this fight scene is called Psykosnic - Panik Kontrol

@@yamatotakeru9078 better fights than first? 😂😂😂😂😂
You're right, the music is pretty cool
I CAN'T WALK THROUGH A TEMPLE WITHOUT FEELING LIKE A GROUP OF NINJAS ARE GOING TO PERFORM FLIPS AND TRICKS AND EVERYTHING.
1:18 when you can't do flips but you still get the part
Sad part, they even tried to slow mo it to make it look cool. Dude jumped a whole 2 inches there aint no comin back from that
They flipped all through this movie. For no reason lol
Lol Especially Lui Kang dodging that missile from smoke
Raiden was doing all that kicking on air
🤣🤣🤣
joe smoe nah it to avoid being hit
😂😂😂
They didn’t even try hiding the stunt doubles in this scene 😂.
The original Reptile fight in the first movie was a huge slugfest between two equally matched opponents until the one with more endurance won. This fight just seemed like one big ballet dance. And they both went down with just one hit each.
The first film was so good.
Because the God of Lightning and Thunder Raiden is beating here, who still has some strength left after going to the elder Gods (it was the sixth day of the merging of the worlds).
I mean, three hits from Raiden and Shao Kahn himself was down for the count. I could believe that Raiden hits harder than the average mortal from Earthrealm.
@@PROFIGHT_REVIEWS agreed, even "depowered'" he slaps you , your soul leaving the body
@@derekdmr762 Slap Fatality
Every time someone does a flip in this movie, we have to take a shot.
Dam just this scene will get a mf faded lol
nigga im in the hopsital now
The first scenes would get you fucked... that ninja that does like 6 back handsprings before shao Kahn says “in peace” you’d be messed up.
Do cartwheels count?
@@williamsellars6343 yes
Reptiles: first we dance and then we fight Game on!
They would lose their dance off to Star-Lord
Raiden: You suckas just got served.
And zemo tag in
2:22 my dirty mind wanders "After she blasted you, I surprised her from behind."
Brilliant!
aaaaaah Jade, you little nasty.
Lmao
If you look closely you can see Ray Park doing some of the flips and attacks since he was a stuntman for this movie. He also played Baraka in that big mask with the claws lol.
You don’t even gotta look closely, you can see it quite obviously 😆 Damn I love this masterpiece so much.
''sir, i think we still see the stuntman's face...do we cut the part?'' director: no, and i want more spins everywhere.
you couldn't tell with VHS back then lol.
I love how 90s movies like this where cheesy, cool and fun to watch at the same time, pure nostalgia right here!!

@@yamatotakeru9078 great costume design great fights and great soundtrack. The reason why ppl talk bad about this movie is the reasons why you outline and I think shao kahn was botched so hard everything is wrong about him he’s suppose to be a monster
@@yamatotakeru9078 no, the reptile and scorpion fights in the first movie are the best fights
It is a fun train wreck, i can't lie. No fight in this film holds a candle to cage vs scorpion or liu kang vs reptile from the first though
For me, this is one of the coolest fight scenes in Mortal Kombat Annihilation, one of my many favourite action movies. It's really cool. Plus to me everyone did a great job in the movie especially the great Robin Shou (one of my most favourite martial arts actors) as Liu Kang. Classic movie awesomeness.
I want what you’re smoking lol
@@kjdempsey I don't smoke
Lol, honestly this was more like a dance battle. But a really cool one.
Então eu quero o que você está bebendo haha
The literal god of thunder decides the best way to defeat his enemies is by using ... interpretive dance.
He was not a god anymore at that moment
@@SmileBe4Death He wasn't Michael Flatley either, but it didn't stop him from acting like a contestant on Dancing with the Stars.
@@christopheraalders1181 , it's capoeira
That and a haircut
So many idiots commenting without even watching a movie
I love this break dance scene
Rayden not using his thunder,reptiles are not using their acid lol
He was lighting before the thunder
well in the first movie when liu and cage go to rescue sonya, raiden said that he cannot travel to outworld because he lost his godly status making him a mortal
Almost every story involving some sort of demigods that have human appearance, they can be stripped from all feats that exceed human, like they were some kind of accessory slapped on a human in the first place.
@@atklm1 i think in MK story they said that the elder gods began their lives as humans
@@guzmanfel Then they are not gods.
I still love it, the scene, the music and the choreography in there. It's vivid, breath taking though ballet like.
Lui kang “I beat one of these guys before he gave a good fight” Raidan “I just took two down using gymnastics” Me “What the heck happened to the 3rd reptile?
A young Ray Park was the fight double for James Remar in this fight scene against Reptile.
Dark Wolf Damn right.
He was apparently one of the Reptiles, Baraka #2, and Liu Kang's double as well.
They needed a double for this scene?
@@thephilosophersjourney2595 Yes.

Liu kang didnt want no part of 3 reptiles after the first one. Got outta dodge quick. “I’ll rescue Kitana” I bet
so even as a kid I always wondered ....... wtf happened to the 3rd one ...
And the 3 tests.
Called by his mom to go home early because it was dinner time

1:08 Like a toddler playing hide and seek lol
haaaaa fucking right lolzz im dead
Loved James Remar in the Warriors but for this fight scene he contributed about 4%!
He had more fight handcuffed to the park bench.
@@jasperswarp 🤣🤣🤣 lady hey lady...😅
Now there's a good movie The Warriors
That 2nd floor uppercut from Raiden..lol😂.
Everybody in the theater erupted in uncontrolling lmfao during this acrobat scene
The film may have been lacking but they had a good soundtrack.
Raiden took a page when Johnny Cage said "Let's Dance' in the first one. Dude really was dancing with Reptile at 1:41...
Even as a kid this scene made no sense to me. Reptile from the 1st movie would wreck 20 of these.
Lmao so true
Love 90s eletronica music makes the movies 10x better
Not going to lie, the movie was ehhhhh, but the Soundtrack was AMAZING!!! Still love it to this day! Another thing, I never understood why there was 3 Reptile Ninjas🤷🏽♂️!
Because Mr. Smith...3 is better than just one.😘
Because it's a race of reptiles

Quando eu era criança achava esse filme maravilhoso. Hoje como adulto... Ainda acho maravilhoso, as melhores coreográficas de luta que já vi! (Tá agora falando sério, eu acho ele bom, apesar que sei que é muito inferior ao seu antecessor e uma negação pro que representa a franquia).
Pra mim foi o melhor Mortal Kombat
Nem todas a luta de Liu e Shao Khan é bem fraquinha a coreografia o restante são da hora principalmente Liu vs Smolke
1:57 you can clearly see the stunt double fighting Reptile
Me 20 plus years later figured this out when I watched it again lol no way James remar doin all them flips
😂 I know right
This used to give me the chillz back in the days.... I'd so happy after watching it...
The choreography in this is actually pretty sweet
Ray Park (stunt man who played Darth Maul) was behind a lot of it.
@Johhny Gringo because 80% of the fights in this movie are just jumping, flips, and bad wire work. Robin Shou's stunt direction was at least mostly real. And the first movie didn't contain hilarious and possibly intentionally bad slo-mo shots of what is obviously a stunt double.
It's more dancing than fighting lol
Watch the fight again and count the amount of times a person's swing or kick would actual make contact with the other persons body or head.do the whole movie lol. It's literally all just spiney kicks and tangling their arms with eachother
Thank Ray Park for that!
1:42 Two ballerinas! 😂
Was waiting for a comment on this 😂
@@gandu20100 XD
Writers: How can we make this movie better than the first? Writer 1: How about we really go deep on the lore and work hard on character development Writer 2: How about more flips? Producer: Yeah let's go with the flips.
This is so cool 😎. I watched this so many times and it still gives me chills. They mixed the channels so great, that the surround sound from the bluray sounds badass epic
Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Mortal Kombat ballet this is the Raiden Reptile suite
@1:15 first reptile acrobatic and graceful af' doing flips one after another... second reptile @1:18 i hOp FRoM h£RE TO mY rIGhT.
😆
Lol, i love that theres 3 reptiles but only 2 fight. So the third one was the dj? XD
LMAOOOOO hahahahha
Yeah,in first movie johny cage was DJ while liu kang fought reptile,in this one is reptile 😁😁
not sure why so much hate about this movie, i think its amazing. one of best video games movies IMO.
People hate anything really...
That’s Ray Park doing all that fight, he’s James Remar’s stunt double
12 years after this movie: Ray Park would later go on to ruin another fighting game franchise by portraying Rugal Bernstein in Gordon Chan's The King of Fighters.
Ray park is fucking amazing as darth maul and snake eyes
Yep. This showcased his flipping around moves he later used as Darth Maul.
Bro..that is awesome info..thx
Wow i didnt know it was him, i had to watch it again!
I thought they were Noob Saibots.
Jay Luis I’m pretty sure they are
They look like reptiles from the first mk
Yeah nvm, they’re reptiles. Noob gets spawned by ermac in the end
Nah, fam. Noob don't wear green. All black for him.
I yeah I'm pretty sure there's only one noob.... but honestly back then I didn't know there was more than one reptile
It's actually cool how they changed Raiden's hairstyle during movie to accomodate Ray Park's stunt actions for the Raiden fight! That guy is the same stunt-double who acted as Darth Maul during fight scenes!
As a kid, this "fight" looked cool, looking at it now the only saving grave really is the music.
2:02 so this came after MK3 uppercut ha !
Sam Al whoopsie uppercut
this is not mortal kombat, this is capoeira
That second reptile was doing straight capoeira.
You mean Kapoeira?
O Raiden lutando capoeira é a coisa mais aleatória desse filme kkkkkkkkk
Es un dios men tiene que saber de todo, no todo es kun fu. 😎
@@chapigato2611 Mas nem por isso deixa de ser zoado Aliás, no hablo narcotrafico mi amigo
There were a total of 6 “Reptiles” but only two followed Raider. One of them was immediately taken out with one kick, the other an uppercut. I like that they included the uppercut through the ceiling thing from MK3. However this was a missed opportunity to see Raider do a fatality. It was mostly dancing and hardly any fighting but it’s still entertaining to watch. But I’ll tell you what would have been more interesting - Jax vs Sindel.
What's truly interesting is that the motion soundtrack album performed better than the movie, I remember buying the CD at Music World here in Toronto and it was selling each day; I had to keep going back to get a copy. The movie... I don't know, but the fight scenes and music were more structured than the script itself.
I actually liked this fight. Also Ray park doing his thing is always a win for me 👍
Ray Park?

Kinda nuts when I think about it, this was Raiden’s only fight scene as a mortal. Wish there was more of it and a higher tension for it.
Can't believe this movie is 10x better than the newest MK movie
This was awesome, loved it!
0:14 my drunk friend trying to gain attention.
This is so relatable it hurts

Fuck that killed me ahahhah 💀💀
Say what you will about the quality of this movie but they got Raiden absolutely right. Man threw away his immortality and godlike powers without blinking an eye to fistfight jobbers, just to save a bunch of mortals he loves so much. And before that he was ready to give his life to Shao Kahn for sparing Johnny Cage of all people. That is the based Raiden move If I ever seen one.
Ray Park doing James Remar's stunts
Will the upcoming Mortal Kombat (2021) movie be the most accurate depiction of the games?
We canonly hope it doesn't turn out to be like DooM: Annihilation.
Don't get your hope's up. My bet is it will be trash.
Hmmm... I think so... I hope it doesn't turn out to be trash
Dark Wolf you’re an idiot.
Dee Thang he ain’t wrong tho
Very good. Impressive skills from Raiden.
It feels like The Big Hit with Mark Wahlberg dance-fighting is a reference to this. The MK movies used to hype me up so much as a kid, but now I can't help but laugh at the campiness of it :D
That uppercut though sent him to the upper room
I love how 90’s martial arts movies just had to have unnecessary flip sequences in them
Better than having million cuts per minute and a cameraman with a parkinson
