The set design of this movie was absolutely insane. I loved it.

The fate of BILLIONS will depend upon you, hahehehehe... ... Sorry.

Everyone working on the first MK movie knew what they were getting into and knew it would be unwise to take the source material seriously. This resulted in a silly/edgy personification of 90's culture.

why is it so difficult for people to adapt basic premises like "arena fight with magic ninjas" and "john space marine shoots aliens" into a movie

Studio execs overthink what audiences want.

So does this nigga have two cocks or what?

focus groups from california is why

>With a budget of $18 million, Mortal Kombat was a comparatively cheap movie by blockbuster standards. This goes some way to explaining why the film boasts no big-name actors, outside of Christopher Lambert. As Lambert’s asking price was considerably higher than his co-stars, originally the filmmakers only expected to have him on set for the scenes shot in LA.

>The plan had been to use a stand-in for Lambert in the scenes shot in Thailand, because there wasn’t room in the budget to pay the actor to be there. However, Lambert himself insisted on being present throughout production, so the actor voluntarily paid his own airfare to Thailand as well as covering his own accommodation.

>As if this wasn’t enough, Christopher Lambert is also reported to have paid for the cast and crew wrap party once the shoot was over.

GOTTA ADD A LOVE INTEREST FOR THE WAMEN
GOTTA ADD A GOOFY COMIC SIDEKICK FOR THE KIDS
GOTTA ACTUALLY MAKE A TOTALLY NEW BORING CHARACTER TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER INSTEAD OF THE ACTUAL MAIN CHARACTER PEOPLE EXPECTED BECAUSE GOTTA SUBVERT EXPECTATIONS
GOTTA ADD MORE COMPLEX STORY WHERE WE FIND OUT THAT ITS ACTUALLY GOOD TO BE EVIL SOMETIMES

etc
etc
etc

The new Mortal Kombat was so much better
The main character's special power of getting the shit kicked out of him was certifiably kino

People who work in movies think they're too good to be making video game schlock adaptations despite not actually having any talent or accomplishments. It's why you so often hear that nobody involved in the production ever even touched the game being adapted.

>The new Mortal Kombat was so much better
