FINISH HIM! (The Mortal Kombat Thread)

[Saven]

We had quite a large group of MK fans over on the older forum so I guess it would be a good idea to make another topic centered around it here too.

Unfortunately, there are no big news of MK as of late as NetherRealms is working on a new fighting game at the moment.....so.

[badjab326]

Well MK9 made it back to EVO despite the fact that Injustice will be out between now and EVO. So MK lives on

[Charco]

I see Aquaman has been added to the roster for Injustice, could be interesting.

[Mr.Din]

So NRS about that hd collection...

So MK: Komplete Edition is coming to PC. Get ready to see a ton of fan-modded classic costumes that us console guys will never get to use .

[NeoVamp]

Yesssssssssssss we'll make skins of ourselves! see me rip off Criss' head!!

followed by hitting Saven in the balls, and setting Don Vecta on fire!!!


UPPERCUT BADJAB INTO THE ACID!

I'm.. a violent man.

[badjab326]

Who would we replace? I call dibs on Reptile.

(inb4yougottabeJAX lol)

Also John Tobias started a blog and posted a story about the 1st kid to discover a fatality in MK.

Scorpion confirmed for Injustice!

[Don Vecta]

I saw that coming miles away. *yawn*

[Mr.Din]

I'm Happy for boon, would've preferred another DC character but it has to be fucking sweet to have your character redesigned by Jim Lee of all people. Scorpion actually looks fun to play, like the new look and set of moves, definitely came out a lot better than expected even though I really didn't have high expectations or hopes for this. oh and YUSH MANHUNTER TEASE!

So I just heard Kevin Tancharoen has quit working on the Mortal Kombat movie and they're now looking for a new producer. This isn't looking good

[badjab326]

Did you ever read the synopsis for it? It sounded like crap to begin with.

it was set to follow a supermarket employee who discovers that he has out of this world powers, and Jax, Kabal, Scorpion and Sub-Zero were set to make appearances.

[Shadow Fist King]

A...supermarket...employee...with...powers...?    

[Saven]

Yep, when I heard that a producer steps down from a MK move or a video game movie, I just think it might not be all that bad and we will never see another video game get pissed on.

If only that had been true for the films that were made by Uwe Boll...

Or any video game movie for that matter.

I can't really think of a video game movie that was really, really good. The first MK movie was really the only one that I consider to be any good.

Although I do have a soft spot for the SF and SMB movies for being so laughably bad that they both end up being enjoyable somehow in their own respective ways.

Well, yeah, the first MK movie will always be memorable to me for at least sticking to the basic outline of the original game. And for having the Liu Kang vs. Reptile fight, the single best fight in the WHOLE movie. xD Unfortunately, MK: Annihilation was utterly messed up because they wanted to push too many characters into the story while sacrificing continuity and faithfulness to the games...although its one saving grace was the Sub-Zero vs. Scorpion fight (with Jax vs. Cyrax being a very close second in my book), but even that fight couldn't redeem the movie at all.

The Street Fighter movie...Raul Julia did it so his family would have something to remember him by, because his kids were SF fans and they picked that role for him as his last role. D'aaaw. Legend of Chun Li, on the other hand...KILL IT WITH FIRE AND DOUSE THE ASHES IN ACID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SMB...I say meh. Although it was counted as the #1 worst video game movie ever made.

And I also want to touch on the Double Dragon movie, if I may...as the TV Tropes website said, it's better if you watch the JCVD movie Double Impact and just pretend Chad and Alex are really Billy and Jimmy.

Hmmm Silent Hill? At least the first one was spot on.

[Benny26]

I found "Hitman" to be one of the best^^

Oh yeah, that was an enjoyable one too.

Silent Hill was alright. I liked the first half hour (or at least up until after the school section is over). But after that, it went downhill for me. Didn't really care too much for the witchcraft storyline that the movie went for and thought it got somewhat silly in the climax at the church.

But one of the better VG movies ever made for sure though. Midwich Elementary was my favorite moment in any VG movie ever made by far. That part was well done, considering how highly I hold that part in the game.

Never seen the Hitman movie nor have I ever played any of the games. So, I can't comment on that.

[Saven]

Did Keifer Sutherland accidentally announce MK10?

[iceweb38]

Apparently yeah, can't wait to find out more!
Maybe at E3 2014?

But then again, a few years ago, it was planned that they would sync a MK movie and game release.
But I don't know if it's still in their plan since Kevin Tancharoen resigned.
