A side-by-side comparison between Mortal Kombat characters from the games and the 1997 movie, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Watch part 1 here: • Mortal Kombat: Annihil...
The 90’s ruled and ppl forget these were marketed more towards kids cuz the fanbase was teenagers still mostly. Thats why they were not r rated. I miss the 90’s tbh
I actually think the actor for Raiden did a pretty good job with the shit show of a movie. His dialogue is pretty good, and dude has some pretty good moves. I think the costume change, and shitty script is what totally screwed the character. Then again, his original costume probably wasn't fit for action sequences.
@@22steve5150 What ? Raiden is BASED off a Japanese deity, he is NOT Japanese in the games. Same as you people trying to say Kitana is Asian. You idiots need to stop that
@@22steve5150Carlos Pesina (the og Raiden) is hispanic, all other Raiden versions always portrayed him as white only in the last game they made him asian.
No, not Jax. Dude didn’t even act like him, he just acted a like a typical bellicose you want it come and get it dude with no substance, that is not Jax
For those that say "shinnok looks like a normal person", the film came out before mortal kombat 4, so the shinnok's look was like a mortal, then, in 1997, they changed him. And, for those that say "rayden doesnt looks like rayden", i agree with ya.
Raidens original actor Christoph Lambert was off doing Highlander 3 I believe or another film, so they had to replace him with The Warriors actor James Remar. In this one, Raiden goes to the elder gods but gets asked if he was to give up his immortality for the kombatants, and he did, which is why he went from long hair to short hair.
@@MidasButBear2311 he's just joking. The costume is so bad that it looks like Baraka with a skin disease lmao The new Baraka, though, looks better than the older models. Much more like the ragged design
Everyone saying that Baraka and Smoke looked the worst when they were probably two of the very few who were actually mostly game-accurate. Let's not forget how they did Reptile now. Or Noon Saibot; he's flat-out just a generic ninja.
Wich was sadly translated in portuguese to: "A data expirou", like the date is actually the month/day and not what was "happening" between Kitana and Liu at the time
Instead of the rest of the Kombatants such as Kung Lao, Sektor, Kurtis Stryker, Kabal, Chameleon, Khameleon, Kintaro, and even a de-aged version of Shang Tsung. We get a poor man's version of Shinnok...
THANX for the #MortalKombatTrilogy #Memories I love the #MortalKombat #Movie & #MortalKombatTrilogy #Game I miss playing it 😭 I had the #MortalKombatTrilogy Book with all of their #Fatalitys & #FriendShips & #Babealitys & #Mercy & #Animalitys & even all of their #Brutalitys
One thing people failed to get is that in this movie Raiden became Fujin! Not only is his new look based on Fujin, but in this movie the Elder Gods are represented as gods of the elements, and there only is Earth, Water, and Fire initially, but at the end Raiden joins them as god of Wind, effectively completing the transition. Basically they fused the two characters into one similar to how they fused Cyber Smoke and Sektor, or how they fused the original and modern Kung Lao in the prequel tv show.
To be fair, at the time of movie's release, there wasn't much that was known about Noob. He really just was a black ninja who was spying for Shinnok. That said, he still sucks in this movie.
@@KenMasters. does he look Japanese in any of the mortal Kombat games, animated movies or comics? Lmao 😂 he only does in the live action movie and in the newest game. Plus this was the 90s. They obviously wasn't thinking that much too it about Raiden
Anyway that movie still awful for example after scorpion took katana sun zero just disappeared for no reason what so ever a Christopher lambar is radien
