The moment you realize that the only thing that can defeat Liu Kang is the Cameraman🤣
😂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 That Was Shinnok. Shao Kahn's Father Here Is Shinnok.
I can’t believe “bearded dude in dark robe” was supposed to be Shinnok. Not only is Shinnok NOT Raiden and Shao Kahn’s father in any other continuity, he’s also supposed to be TRAPPED IN THE NETHERREALM BY HIS FELLOW ELDER GODS FOR REBELLING AND TRYING TO KILL EVERYONE if MKX and the Classic continuity is anything to go by.
Also he was terrifying in the games, in this…..not so much
Ehh, you have to remember that this film came out the exact same year as Sub Zero and MK4 (the first two games to feature Shinnok, and also almost 2 decades before MKX), so they probably had absolutely nothing about the character, outside of some guidelines from the devs. As far as it goes, that "little bit" of artistic liberty is pretty much on track with how much things got "reinterpreted" back then for this kind of film (cheesy cash grab trying to adapt some IP nobody in Hollywood really thought was worth the effort, outside of being a cash grab). Back then you'd see the same thing being done to superhero films, comic films, video game films, board game films, etc. In the midst of all the other "questionable" decisions when producing this film? It's a pretty tame way to tie in a character that is, frankly, a complete unknown nobody cared one iota about when the film came out
Sindel: go meet new people Kitana Kitana: too bad…. I’m too shy!
😆
My thoughts on this movie as a whole: “Too bad… YOU WILL DIE!!!”
😝
I remember getting the soundtrack for this movie when it came out. It was amazing
😎🤟
Smoke came to collect the Party City bill, but Scorpion ran away with the down payment. “SUCKERRRRRRRRRRS!!!”
🤣 👏
🤣🤣🤣
20:22 i forgot that scene where baraka gets kicked into the fire pit, they reused the rain fall scene instead lol
This is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. It's just so ridiculously bad it circles back around to amazing 😂
Same, it helps that no matter how bad the movie is, the soundtrack fuckin slaps
Same.
Nothing wrong with that 😜
Picturing myself as the characters doing these ridiculous things is so fun, like flying through those tunnels in the balls is a roller coaster ride lol, but if you're not the type to immerse it probably looks terrible lol. But it reminds me of watching power rangers when I was a kid, or seeing a show at an amusement park, that kind of almost play-like "accessible to all ages" acting and dialogue
I loved this movie at age 10 but when I rewatched it years later I realised it didn't make much sense.
This movie is why Paul W.S. Anderson. Never left the resident evil movies. He said he would always finish a franchise he started directing.
So in a way, this movie is inspiring 🤔😜
So we have him to thank for ruining two video game adaptations.
@@Rocket1377three actually, he also did Monster Hunter.
This was... one of the movies of all time
I also love how Kahn's cape teleported itself back onto him after he threw it off...when Motaro rips off Jax's strength enhancer, and Kahn shouts "Yes!", his cape has returned to him. Lol
Oof... Definitely remember this movie and it was just like... Yeah it was definitely a movie lol
Perfect way to describe it
So yeah, for some reason they made Shao Kahn and Raiden brothers, and made Shinnok their dad.
Kronika must have been high when she thought this one up
Shao Kahn's father is listed as Shinnok in this film. Yes, that threatening guy from the games has been turned into a grumbling man in a hoodie, who for some reason is still the wind god instead of Fujin.
Fujin may not have existed yet. And if he did then he was still brand new as a character and not yet well liked.
@@timemonkeyYeah, if the first movie was MK1+2, this one is pure MK3.
@@PissedGrunty First movie is more about 1 with some elements from 2 like kitana and sonya in chain and young Tsung. But Kitana didn't fight. Second is combined 2 and 3 with Shinnok and Quan-Chi(he planned)
Shinnok was never threatening. Especially compared to all the other MK final bosses.
So MKX has rehabilitated him since the postclassic. He began to be perceived as a cooler and more threatening villain.
They were actually originally planning to do three Mortal Kombat movies but this one did so badly the thrid was cancelled. Probably would have been an attempt to adapt the fourth game, which would have been the latest game at the time. There actually wasn't much story for the setting or characters at the time the movies were made so they used both to experiment with ideas. Though clearly the first movies ideas were more accepted you can still see a lot of ideas they'd implement later on in this movie. Shao Khan being a godlike being started here, though being related to Raiden and Shinnok wasn't carried over. Kabal and Stryker being together would carry over to them being partners in MK9. You can see they were toying around with the idea of there being a twist with Sindel all thew way back here. Johnny's death happened in the games at the time, though there it's suggested it was Motaro that did it, and was the result of the creators being pissed at the actor who played Johnny in the first two games. The actor did a commercial for a rival game in full Johnny costume and MKs creators were so mad they killed Johnny off in MK3. the first movie's take on the character made them decide to bring him back as a funny character but it wasn't until Armeggedon/MK9 that they really started taking him seriously as a character again. Ermac randomly spraying out Noob Saibot in the final battle happened because Noob didn't actually have a backstory at the time, he was just a secret character that existed with no story. It wasn't until MK Deception that he was revealed to be an undead Bi-Han and gained a personality. So at the time him being one of Ermac's souls was plausible. Sheeva was originally supposed to fight Raiden when they run into Sindel but they had wasted too much of the budget elsewhere and couldn't afford to properly animate her, which is why Raiden instead fights the reptile ninjas and Sheeva is killed without a fight. It still bugs me to this day that they didn't have Jade and Mileena's roles switched. It makes FAR more sense for Mileena to be the mole in the hero group than Jade.
Poor Sheeva 😆 that’s why you gotta insist to film your scenes first 😜
Raiden's Stunt Double is Ray Park, who played Darth Maul. The character Motaro is played by Deron McBee, who played Malibu in the 1st season of American Gladiators. This Sub Zero is played by the actor who played Reptile in Mortal Kombat. Michael Jai White was slated to play Jax in Mortal Kombat Annihilation but ended up playing Spawn instead
I would have like to have Michael Jai White to be in the movie to be honest.
There was an American Gladiator in this 😯😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 there's actually 2 of them the other is Lynn "Red" Williams who played Jax
Michael playing Jax in the MK web series was long overdue
*I saw this movie in the theatres as a child! The opening made me believe this was gonna be the greatest movie ever and boy was I let down. I should've known by Raiden and Shao's opening dialogue and flips* 😂
Fun fact: two of the actors, Deron McBee and Lynn Red Williams, who played Motaro and Jax in this movie used to be American Gladiators. Deron McBee was called Malibu in 1989 and Lynn Red Williams was called Sabre from 1994 to 1997.
"That's Shao Khan." "...Really?!?" That about sums it up.
Back when I saw this as a kid, I freaking LOVED it and it took me YEARS before I could comprehend why everyone said it was trash lol. I mean, I get it now. I do. But I just don't care lol. I freaking love this movie lmao. The writing is awful. The effects are generally pretty ridiculous even for the 90's. Most the actors are NOT putting out their finest showcasing of their talents, lol. And boy, were there some choices made lol. But I don't even give a crap lol. This movie is a legend in my heart, not just in spite of its shortcomings but made all the more dear because of them lol. And say what you will about so many of the less-inspiring costume design choices...some of these characters looked beyond dope for the time. Nightwolf was actually pretty sellable as the character, Cyrax and Smoke looked like they were lifted straight from the games (not saying a lot given the games at the time but still!), and Ermac while underutilized had a better costume/look than he does in MK1 lol. Even Sindel, while she looks like she just got out of shooting a soap opera, has a pretty sick costume (for the 90s lol). I just don't have it in my heart to harbor any hate for this movie lol. It makes me happy every time it swims back into my awareness, and seeing you guys watch it for the first time was a real treat for me! :)
Give it all the love you got 😊 nothing wrong with that. 🤗
That movie’s pitch was “let’s put as many MK character as we can, and if there’s time before lunch, maybe let’s think of a story in between the fight scene, but no pressure”
Fun Fact: The actor who played ‘Shinnok’ _(a.k.a Raiden & Shao Khan’s father)_ is the German dub voice of Optimus Prime in the live action Transformers movies and Norman Osborn/Green Goblin in the Spider-Man movies.
The old games started modeling the characters after their movie counterparts starting from MK4.
Mr Ed was an old ass black and white show my 90 year old grandfather would watch where the titular character was a talking horse. Hence why Jax calls Motaro Mr Ed
That show is super old 🐴
Yall, keep the great vids coming in both channels. I've had a rough go the last few years but I can count on you 2 to release great content to keep me smiling ❤
We try our best. Here’s to hoping things get better these next two years 🤗😊
Bethany and ken shinnok is a elder god who wants to destroy everything
As a kid seeing the Elder Gods show up like that was pretty cool.
😎🤟
I instinctively said out loud “Oh NOOOOO! 😬” when I saw the thumbnail LOL!!
Back when I was in an elementary school it was a banger for me. Nowdays I dont wanna talk about it :D
Ken and Bethany and everyone else take a shot everytime some one does a flip LoL 😂🤣😈
You brave souls. Probably one of the greatest travesties when it comes to video game films. Props to you for sitting down and going through it, though. Just remember, "You.........will die." Side note, I still find the Jade transition super bad ass, even if the fighting sucks balls afterward....lol.
Everyone loves that you will die line haha. It’s fantastically awful 😂
"Who in Mortal Kombat is he?" "He's Shao Khan." "...............really?" yeah it's sort of a bizarre follow up to a relatively fine video game movie
This movie was my JAM as a kid in the early-2000s watching it air on, I think, the Sci-Fi Channel? Anywhosits, I watched and liked y'all reaction to the first movie, I'll definitely watch this later when I get the time. 👀
Fun trivia! 1. They couldn't afford to pay the third ninja in the ninja-Raiden fight,and that's why he only ends up fighting two of them. 2. Scorpion cam be seen in the background, ducking and waiting for his cue, in the wide shot right before Liu reaches to help Sub Zero back up from falling. 3. When Baraka is kicked off the cage and into the fire, watch the footage again: They just re-used Rain's death footage from earlier. Also, how is Liu having his peyote dream and seeing Shao Kahn's face, when he doesnt know what Shao Kahn's face looks like at that point in the story? 🤔
This movie is such a guilty pleasure of mine. I love it lol. Is there any chance you'd watch the tv show Conquest? It was shot shortly after this. That'd be a fun watch seeing you guys react to it. Its only 1 season long.
Ok, I confess: this is one of my guilty pleasures, lol. I know the film is problematic, but it arrived at a good part of my adolescence, where I just wanted to see some fights. It is worth mentioning that it had a troubled production, so much so that it was finished in a hurry, damaging the editing and visual effects, not to mention the several reshoots that took place (in one of them, including, Sub-Zero has more scenes and Johnny Cage gets to be resurrected at the end). Well, it looks like we would have a good film, if there weren't any problems behind the cameras. Despite the disaster, there were plans for a new sequel called "Mortal Kombat: Devastation", but unlike its predecessor, it would be better produced and would reunite the original cast of the first film. Too bad it didn't happen.
I love the mortal kombat movies
4-40 I'm fairly certain while they're in the bowling balls riding around.. that song is the same song that Jim dances to for Nadia in the original American Pie LOL
Oh no I can't wait for both of your reaction to this movie, its so bad that it's almost good, can't wait and now on to watching
I loved this movie for what is. I loved all the action and more characters. Excellent video guys.
Also according to the credits, Shao Khans dad is Shinnok
Would’ve never guessed that 😂
No matter how bad it is it will always be a classic.
You both are funny as hell LoL 😂🤣
Fun fact “ the scene where Liu Kang did the Spinning Kick against Baraka the stunt double who does the Kick was Tony Jaa… “ found out about that from Readers Digest
WHY YT, I have the bell clicked for a reason! How did I miss this upload? Love it! Keep it up you beautiful people.
Thank you! Will do!🤗🥳
There needs to be a new category in the MK games called a “cringetality” and have it be forcing the characters to watch this movie 😂
Well, you just have to watch the animated films of the "Mortal Kombat Legends" series sometime. The fourth one should be coming out soon.
The Johnny Cage one is already out and it's pretty dang fun.
27:57 that "soul" was actually Noob Saibot.
You might not have noticed, but when Lu kicks Baraka in the fire pit; they used the footage of Rain being hit into the fire pit by Shao Kahn.
😂 we didn’t notice that. That’s fantastic 🤣
So far from what I gathered Johnny Cages Actor Linden Ashby was the only one who didnt like the script and didn't return, Brigitte Wilson went to film I know what you did last summer, so probably scheduling conflicts as well as christopher lambert but later said the script was poor
I heard she turned it down, they offered her a shit ton of cash too and she wasn't interested
Yay i was waiting for this my day is now complete flawless victory ken and Bethany 😈
Mortal Kombat Defenders of the Realm is all on youtube. It has Ron Perlman as Stryker
This movie was crazy. I really wish this film was better but damn that script needed to be better written.
Shao Khan is played by one of the thugs from the beginning of Terminator.
This week sponsor for this video is party city LoL 😂🤣
My GOD I’m so glad they reacted one of my favorite movies
There’s a deleted scene with Quan Chi, the actor was from Thailand and didn’t speak any English. They could have dubbed him but to be deleted from this movie it must have been pretty bad.
"Maybe Outworld doesn't good race relations right now." Me: "Earthrealm's never had it 😂."
"Ooh! They're breakdance fighting! That Hansel is so hot right now..."
This was SSSOOO worth the wait
"Raiden is Eminem now!" - nice punchline 🤣 On the one hand, terrifying (in a bad way🙂) the film turned the filmmakers away from "dubious game adaptations for screen" for quite a long time. This is later, we will wait for 2002, the same director, but with a different game franchise (yes, Resident Evil 😉) On the other hand, this part has contributed to the development of both the film industry and the gaming industry... at least - how not to do😄 In particular, it became quite clear that it is not enough to just take and stuff a bunch of familiar characters into the film on the principle of "fans will understand it anyway." Alas, but to this day a similar principle is used in many film adaptations...
Reaction was awesome 😂😂😂
Note: The reason why Christopher Lambert, Bridgett Wilson and Linden Ashby didn’t return because they didn’t like the script of the movie so they reject it I didn’t return. Sektor is the only Cyborg that throws Missiles not Smoke, he throws a spear 😂 like scorpion in MK3
Brian Thompson played Shao Kahn. He gave an interview a while back and said that he was trained in Hapkido and had earned his black belt when he did this movie. This movie suffered mainly in the writing. Roles were recast in part due to the terrible script. If I recall correctly, Christopher Lambert said he refused to return as Rayden for that reason.
You guys should watch the 2021 reboot. Also the Legends trilogy are awesome. Scorpion's Revenge. Battle of the Realms. And Snow Blind.
And Cage Match, released just recently, possibly the most enjoyable of the bunch.
Out of curiosity are you guys going to react to Mk Conquest, the tv show that came on between the two movies, it's got some camp to it but it's definitely a grade higher then Annihilation
Shao Khan's dad is Shinnok.
So there are videos of the cutscenes from the Mortal Kombat games and they are like 3 hours long and the games continue from where the last one ended. Not sure when this started tho, wanna MK 8 or 9
You guys made me look at the IMDB page for this movie, and I had to learn that one of the Tarkatans, not even specifically Baraka, was Ray Park Darth. Fucking. Maul! I need to go lie down...
I love your hat ken, very distinguished gentleman indeed 😌
Johnny cage instantly dying had me in tears when I first saw the movie and when Shao khan was talking to Raiden about the portals you can see he has a little smirk because Shao voice was cracking and his delivery was awful 😂. Good ol rushed mk annihilation.
Dude! I have tell that I love your hat!
I watched this movie every day for a month when it came out. I still have no idea why.
The first movie did super well, the 2 actors had other contracts so could not do the 2nd movie but that was a good job really lol
What sucks is that the first one did well, but then some numpty/numpties decided to give this sequel less budget and very little time for the whole production.
Yeah, definitely makes no sense for this larger Plot and cast set up.
This and Batman & Robin are 2 perfect examples of "so bad it's good" movies.
To answer 2 of your questions, 1. Raiden and Shao Kahn's father was Shinnok, (the (fire) Elder God said it when they resurrected Raiden), and 2. Christopher Lambert didn't reprise the roll of Raiden because he was doing another film, (I think a Highlander movie I'm not sure), which is why the roll of Raiden was recasted. (And on a side note co-creator Ed Boon was so disappointed with this movie that he said it was the lowest point for Mortal Kombat.) While not the best movie, (in anyway), I don't mind watching it from time to time.
Спасиб Бэт и Кен. Клёвая реакция) Понравилось отношение Бэт к Джаксу и Лю. Фильм моей молодости. Очень нравилась Соня)
This was a terrible sequel objectively, but subjectively if u turn off ur brain and let the cheesiness flow over u, u can still have a good time with it if u look at it thru the lense of it's so bad it's good lol
If you're going into the animated Mortal Kombats, make sure to check out the earliest stuff just to see how weird it was! "The Journey Begins", and the Defenders of the Realm series (it's short)!
Don't know if it is tru but heard that fights from this movie and the street fighter movie with van Damme, were cut due to budget or lack there of. Sheena had a better defeat so did most others but yeah that budget
Is that other dog's name Baaki? Was that a piece of cardboard? haha cute doggy. This movie is fun and ridiculous at the same time, it's not where near as good as the first movie but it's the same kind of fun like Street Fighter haha. A few things this movie does do well is the choreography and the music rocks! Nice reaction guys! And yes Ken is correct why Lambert, Wilson and Ashby didn't come back they all read the script and said screw this lol especially Lambert and Asbhy, they've said it in interviews lol.
Important question: If Shao Kahn and Raiden are brothers, and the tattoo only flees the corpses of those OUTSIDE of Raiden's bloodline, why did the dragon tattoo flee Kahn's body at the end?
Because his brother died a long time ago....his heart, anyway. Yeah, no clue.
Johnny Cage was played a different actor. In Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
Yo this movie was awesome I love this one and the first movie Liu Kang is my boy I was sad that Johnny cage had to die in the first beginning of this movie
You dare compare Musk to Brian Thompson? Brian Thompson and his muscular face that appeared in COBRA?
You guys have to watch the Mortal Kombat Legends Trilogy. Still one of my favorite movies to watch
This movie was made in two months, with post-production and everything...
it's Terrible no Doubt. i just love it out of nostalgia, i remember going to movies to see this Twice in Theaters as a kid, my cousin would pick me up after school and we would go see it, i Didn't care for all the flaws at the time because i was just such a big MK fan.
This was something alright,I like it and dislike at the same time, because its mortal Kombat. Phenomenal video as always you two.
4:15 the speed at which that Okay came out, my man has a script for boobs and it's nonchalance.
Sha Kahn's Dad Is Shinnok. The Movie Version.
I remember thinking at 15/16 thinking this was the best movie. Now I can't watch it without cringing. Thanks for the laughs in the midst of such cringe.
Aah yes the movie that killed the live action movies
For Mortal Kombat? Or games in general?
@@SnipingIsFun for Mortal Kombat
1997 that one came out first mortal Kombat best movie ever.
Sonya is much better in this. Very badass. I love the fighting in this.
Not gonna lie I was laughing with you 😂 the first movie was more enjoyable for me
The next step is obvious. Street Fighter. Gotta see the rival
The fighting and flips remind me so much of power rangers lol.
I am writing this to help out ken and Bethany and this video and this channel with the algorithm 🥰❤️✌️☺️
