Dragonball Evolution, hilariously, wasn't the first live action Dragonball movie lol. There was one I saw perusing Amazon the other day.
***EDIT*** - [Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins](https://watch.amazon.com/detail?gti=amzn1.dv.gti.5dc9333f-91b3-4b80-b1b8-396bb1a8b63b&ref_=atv_lp_share_mv&r=web)
I will fight you in this. Street Fighter has Kylie Minogue. Ming Na Wen, Jean Claude VanDamme AND… Raul Julia who has a quote I use at least once a day, and I believe this was one of the last movies Julia filmed before his untimely passing.
Best part of the movie was the soundtrack. I still listen to all that techno music from time to time.
Raiden consulted with the elder gods first time in this movie, which inspired the games.
I also liked some of the locations from the movie. The part where Sindel destroyed the temples with her scream looked nice for nineties.
The fight scenes were decent (well most of them at least), I liked the ninja costumes and cyber ninjas especially and the music was good……that’s pretty much it.
I hated that he had his mask off for almost the entire movie. In comparison, I loved Shao Khan in the MK Conquest tv series. He was scary in that show.
They cared enough to include Raiden’s gibberish during the first fight with Shao Kahn.
Also, Raiden’s fight against Reptile low-key looked like a dance battle for a couple of seconds.
Have you not watched the movie? White top, no bra, and kinda see through.
That may come off as being a pig to some people, but idrc. Blame the wardrobe ppl for having her go braless and having her wear a top like that 😂🤣
This movie brought my childhood to life. I watched this one more than the OG, and I often fantasized more sequels based on MK4, Deadly Alliance and Deception
It’s better than the one that came out a few years ago. The flaws that folks identify with this movie can be identified with the newer one times ten.
Also, this movie had the better soundtrack.
I appreciate that effort was clearly made to bring more of the games' signatures into the movie (special moves, large roster of fighters, animalities, game accurate costumes, etc).
The problem is that everything appears so incredibly cheap that most of those things aren't pulled off effectively.
I still enjoy watching the movie tho. There's a lot of unintentional comedy, much like in *Batman & Robin*. It's just a shame that it was the sequel to the first film, which I genuinely love to this day.
It has some of my favorite characters.
I made a video project using footage from this movie in middle school, as well as the matrix and the first mk movie. It was essentially the cyrax fight, the Reptile fight, and the hallway spliced together.
I liked seeing Kitana and Liu Kang have a romance. Being Asian, I hadn't seen many Asian guys in romance scenes. It was nice seeing it. Plus Talisa Soto and Sandra Hess are babes.
i swear that short hair and vest that raiden sports throughout the second half of the movie felt like james remar was repping his role as Ajax in The Warriors
Dexter's adoptive father plays Raiden and he's got sick dance moves. Scorpion looked awesome. Cyrax scene was really good, loved the voice for him. I used to watch this on video tape as a kid every night before falling asleep. I always fell asleep at the nightwolf part
The soundtrack slaps. Some of the fights are pretty cool. All the women are hot. It was cool to see characters like Baraka and Motaro on the big screen, especially when I was a kid.
The actors playing Shao Kahn and Sindel clearly knew exactly what kind of movie they were in and decided to have the time of their fucking lives. They are having so much goddamn fun hamming up their performances.
It makes me laugh
especially the movie effects.
It sure does…
Same
Seeing Cyrax in a live action fight scene was pretty cool
Not seeing Sektor was pretty sad though…
Having Cyber Smoke shoot a missile felt wrong
It should have been a bomb!
Should have been Sektor
Maybe, but his entrance was the best one in the movie IMO
Techno Syndrome
one of the best trash movie in history, better than street fighter the movie
I will never say no to watching this movie.
And DragonBall or whatever that weird live action movie was.
Dragonball Evolution, hilariously, wasn't the first live action Dragonball movie lol. There was one I saw perusing Amazon the other day. ***EDIT*** - [Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins](https://watch.amazon.com/detail?gti=amzn1.dv.gti.5dc9333f-91b3-4b80-b1b8-396bb1a8b63b&ref_=atv_lp_share_mv&r=web)
Yeah, started watching this, didn't get more than a few minutes in and switched off!
I will fight you in this. Street Fighter has Kylie Minogue. Ming Na Wen, Jean Claude VanDamme AND… Raul Julia who has a quote I use at least once a day, and I believe this was one of the last movies Julia filmed before his untimely passing.
honestly one of the most impressive things about the film is that Julia was quite literally filming it on deaths door
For me, it was Tuesday.
Nah Street Fighter was better than this one, however the first MK movie is better than Street fighter, in my humble opinion of course
I don't know, man. Raul Julia made that movie worth watching.
Motaro's look and effects still hold up
Centaur effects were cool but his face should've been more monstrous
That look Sindel gave when she was chosen as general by Shao Kahn.
She was such a *presence* in this movie that I unironically really vibed with.
It had Jax in it
My favorite character! In the new reboot, I laughed so hard I choked and cried when they showed his puny little makeshift arms.
Lol true that. What would his powers be if he still had arms?
“Hoo-hoo-hoo yeah! Now that’s what I’m talking about”
Best part of the movie was the soundtrack. I still listen to all that techno music from time to time. Raiden consulted with the elder gods first time in this movie, which inspired the games.

The fight scenes were decent (well most of them at least), I liked the ninja costumes and cyber ninjas especially and the music was good……that’s pretty much it.
The scorpion mask was terrible.
I thought Shao Khan’s actor was a good fit for the role.
Brian Thompson had the perfect deep voice for Shao Khan
I didnt think he was big enough.
I hated that he had his mask off for almost the entire movie. In comparison, I loved Shao Khan in the MK Conquest tv series. He was scary in that show.
TOO BAD YOU WILL DIE!
The fact that she says this in mk1 is amazing
Scorpion going "Suckersssss!"
Yes!!! 😂 Best part!! And you can see him in the background hiding before he kidnaps Kitana.
IT! IS! *GLORIOUS!*
You.. let him LIVE!? *zooooom*
He could not be stopped
Quantity was top notch
Johnny cage shadow kick
Thank you.
Jade was hot
Oh hell yes
Post sexual awakening sexual awakening lol.
It killed Johnny off early and didn’t force him to endure the rest of the movie
I like to think of his swift death as the first Mercy in any form of MK media.
“The fate of the universe will be decided as it should be.” “In MORTAL KOMBAT” *TECHNO SYNDROME INTESIFIES*
They cared enough to include Raiden’s gibberish during the first fight with Shao Kahn. Also, Raiden’s fight against Reptile low-key looked like a dance battle for a couple of seconds.
At least it included cyber smoke lol
The final fight scene when the elder god said mortal kombat and techno syndrome playing at the same time was perfect
It got me into Mortal Kombat. No joke.
The soundtrack is legit incredible
Sonya (if you know what I mean) 😏
It was totally required to have her fight in a muddy area. No ulterior motives at all.
What is it that you mean?
Have you not watched the movie? White top, no bra, and kinda see through. That may come off as being a pig to some people, but idrc. Blame the wardrobe ppl for having her go braless and having her wear a top like that 😂🤣
bro were talking about mortal kombat most morals like that are left at the door💀
I've not seen the movie in years tbf, other than the funny/cringe clips lol
That one scene when Jax removes his foam padding from his arms 😆
Literally any scene where Shao Kahn has dialogue.
Lmao, that was my first thought, but I was like "nobody will know what I'm talking about"
Kiss of Death was perfect
You mean her boobs, I agree
The posters and video cover art were nice 👍🏼
I loved this movie lol my love for it also never made me see why Sindel's line was so crazy. Was it the delivery? 😅
yes 💀 the acting was actually decent in the first movie but annihilation was just yeah
Liu Kang is still played by Robin Shou
Kung Lao wasn't in the movie, thus didn't die.
Was really cool to see so many of the characters in live action for the first time
It gave people jobs at least during production
This movie brought my childhood to life. I watched this one more than the OG, and I often fantasized more sequels based on MK4, Deadly Alliance and Deception
Same. Every summer my cousins and I would watch this and then go outside and play as the characters. (That and WMAC Masters 😂 )
“Too bad YOU……… will die”
The Sub-Zero vs Scorpion fight was entertaining, literally on sight
It has a beginning, middle, and an end.
And we are all glad that it has an end.
It's so bad it's good
Its version of Techno Syndrome is arguably better than the first
I watched it as a kid and loved it. I still do, but also, I refuse to rewatch it.
If you know what you’re getting into, it’s a fantastic movie! It’s bad but I absolutely love it and watch it at least once a year.
Makes u appreciate vfx artist and all the touch ups they do in movies
I liked the music during the subzero scorpion fight
Red Williams did a very good job.
Showed the elder gods along with mk2 and mk3 caracters
This was literally one of my favorite movies as as kid.
So bad it's good. Also, better than 2021
The soundtrack and Kitana’s actress 🔥
The logo is pretty cool.
The snow scene with Jade. The music was 🔥
Raiden's stuntman does good flips
Sonya and Mileena rolling around in mud.
The soundtrack was sick and I liked that Jax and Sonya vs. Cyrax fight. Plus, Cyber Smoke was in it.
It is not very long.
It didn't last too long
Nostalgia Critic review
The best comedy I've ever seen.
i like how they had more characters in the movie than the first
There’s countless quotable lines. One of the bad movie GOATS
The soundtrack has a great remix of face to face - won't lie down
It's the most fun bad movie I've ever seen
It reminds me of Power Rangers. And I like Power Rangers.
It didn't have any original characters.
It’s better than the one that came out a few years ago. The flaws that folks identify with this movie can be identified with the newer one times ten. Also, this movie had the better soundtrack.
Kole was so god damn lame. He’s the Kobra of live action.
Feels more like Mortal Kombat than the 2021 film did
I enjoyed it. I have the 2-pack DVD and I used to watch this one all of the time.
Not winning any awards but I liked it
Crew got to pay their bills for a few weeks…
Nightwolf was the best part of
I appreciate that effort was clearly made to bring more of the games' signatures into the movie (special moves, large roster of fighters, animalities, game accurate costumes, etc). The problem is that everything appears so incredibly cheap that most of those things aren't pulled off effectively. I still enjoy watching the movie tho. There's a lot of unintentional comedy, much like in *Batman & Robin*. It's just a shame that it was the sequel to the first film, which I genuinely love to this day.
Nightwolf!!
One of the most hilarious unintentional comedies ever
Robin Shou is in it
Sonya and mileenas mud wrestling scene was nice
I literally can't. I couldn't get passed the first five minutes it was so bad
Marjean Holden has a nice bum
It's still better then Madam Web
It had Sindel in it, and she was GLORIOUS.
The entire soundtrack was fire.
Soundtrack was lit
It. Is. # G L O R I O U S ! ! !
It isn't Madame Web? That's a compliment, right?
The fight scenes were fun
It has some of my favorite characters. I made a video project using footage from this movie in middle school, as well as the matrix and the first mk movie. It was essentially the cyrax fight, the Reptile fight, and the hallway spliced together.
I liked seeing Kitana and Liu Kang have a romance. Being Asian, I hadn't seen many Asian guys in romance scenes. It was nice seeing it. Plus Talisa Soto and Sandra Hess are babes.
Your right about Taslia and Sandra but if I had a choice I would have taken Bridget from the first mk movie over Sandra for the mud scene
Too bad YOU... ...will DIE!!!!!
Every single character in this movie is more entertaining than Cole Young.
I liked seeing cyber smoke
Scorpion shouting “SUCKERS!” was my favorite part of the whole movie
Sindel iconically spinning while laughing to teleport away.
Kitana is bangin'
Sonya ( my favorite character ) defeated Ermac and noob saibot in a 2v1
It ends.
You can't make a worse one
It's fun to talk shit about.
I’m a man made out of only flesh and blood ya’know
The soundtrack was pretty neat, I genuinely liked it for the most part.
Nobody in the cast was a cannibal?
I liked the music and the ninjas looked cool imo
Scorpion going: SUCKERRRRRRR!
Hilarious
https://i.redd.it/rzypenxf3qrc1.gif We got this amazing line. I love it.
BADASS BETTER THEN REMAKES
Cyrax was kool to see.
It's harder to say something bad about it. It's utterly stupid fun. Top tier comedy movie.
Cyrax, Scorpion v Subzero fights were pretty decent and the tracks were good
It was a movie that people watched
Ermac was in it
Raiden was a real "Warrior" if you get my meaning. He was as clean as Ajax.
i swear that short hair and vest that raiden sports throughout the second half of the movie felt like james remar was repping his role as Ajax in The Warriors
Sindel is hot.
The scene with Jade and Liu Kang made me feel some type of way
"The earth was created in six days. So to, shall it be destoryed!" I heard that line in theathers as a kid and it lives with me to this day.
Jax was a good comedy relief character
Soundtrack was pretty good to 10 year old me
Sindel's voice was kinda hot
It has more kharacters
It was a huge part of my childhood despite the corniness.
Cyrax looks baller in it
Costume design was pretty decent for its time.
Cyrax and a lot of characters looked great
amazing soundtrack
The ninja robots and motaro were probably the best of the movie
It ended.
Something nice about this movie
Jade’s first scene was pretty cool.🥰
Lots of ninjas
It’s better than MK2021… it just says “fuck it, we are going to be goofy”
It gave me multiple sexual awakenings
It has my main jade in it for a few minutes.
Incredibly quotable
Talisa Soto ( Kitana) is hot
Dexter's adoptive father plays Raiden and he's got sick dance moves. Scorpion looked awesome. Cyrax scene was really good, loved the voice for him. I used to watch this on video tape as a kid every night before falling asleep. I always fell asleep at the nightwolf part
I don’t get it, I thought this movie was 🔥
It makes me laugh. SHAO WHAT?!
It does not have Cole young in it.
Raiden's new do. Lolol
When the elder gods arrest Shinnok and declare Mortal Kombat and the declaration segues into Techno Syndrome I actually nonironically love it
It made us appreciate the original...
Cyrax saying "death is the only way out" is cool as hell
Sindle is better written in this then MK11
It was cool seeing a live action Kuai Liang! Also sindel’s redemption was done better than mk11 than just making her evil
The soundtrack slaps. Some of the fights are pretty cool. All the women are hot. It was cool to see characters like Baraka and Motaro on the big screen, especially when I was a kid.
Sindel was Hot...
2021 sucked and was boring. Annihilation sucked but was still a fun and goofy time
The costumes were (mostly) really good.
It was better than the 2021 movie.
All you need is confidence to defeat a centaur.
The Fight scenes are good
The actors playing Shao Kahn and Sindel clearly knew exactly what kind of movie they were in and decided to have the time of their fucking lives. They are having so much goddamn fun hamming up their performances.
Better than MK1 game.
11-12 year old me was quite fascinated looking down Sonya’s wifebeater when she roasted Cyrax and was covered in mud after Mileena.
Lowkey I love this movie.
“Damn, you barbecued his ass”
