His work in Get Smart was a masterpiece.

I thought he was fantastic in "Get Shorty" "Be Cool".

Needs more Kano.

Kano tore out hearts.  Sub Zero was the spine remover.

Ah, right.

It's been more than a decade since I played it though...

Maybe I'll find a copy.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

That is a much much better looking adaptation of Mortal Kombat than those terrible movies.
I liked the games, mostly for the story actually, its nice to see it treated with a little dignity.

I don't even remember Mortal Combat having a story, I just remember being able to rip people apart.
It's not trolling, it's just satire.

I actually liked the campy, overdone, nonsensical story of the original movie.

It made no sense whatsoever, all the fights were awesome, and it paved the way for the "rule of cool" trope, IMO.  Doesn't matter that scorpion doesn't have a skull for a head, or that extradimensional kung fu wizards wouldn't have cyborgs, it's fucking awesome and that's enough.

The first one was awesome. The second one was a steaming pile of shit.

Plot is just an excuse to have fights and special effects.

Which weren't much above power rangers level in #2.
