I'd still genuinely agree/feel Mortal Kombat is/remains the best. I can watch it many times and still enjoy it.
Favorite scene by far remains Reptile versus Liu Kang fight although Scorpion v. Johnny Cage wasn't bad either minus the supernatural aspects. Wish more action movies had martial arts choreography
this good, they cared here, and it shows!
Everyone at the theater (
which was 100% packed!) went wild, some yelling "Daaaammn!" as Liu flew threw that brick wall from high-energy Reptile's first jump kick! Hollywood Johnny was busy looking for a mirror, make sure his hair looked good, couldn't bother to help, heh... Liu's line should've been like "Thanks for having my back, brah!"
P. S. Side thought: Reptile got robbed I say! Liu got his butt whooped, Reptile f-cked him up good, shouldn't have been able to win in the end after that for the sake of good-guys-always-win plot standard, lol. The no-blood-no-scratches-no-bruises thing is comical as well.
Great soundtrack for most scenes is always a plus, and can never go wrong with Christopher Lambert in, or Cary Tagawa, etc. Perfect action movie start to finish, really. But the sequel ?? An abomination with some cool fights now and then...
The ones you mentioned, while good, only got one viewing from me, didn't leave a memorable mark. Silent Hill I did watch a second time, good horror, but doesn't earn legendary status from me like MK.
I'd love a MK 4K BluRay when, if ever, available for the ole movie collection.
