watching Mortal Kombat and right off the bat, this movie is goin full throttle

ngl this theme is a banger

& now we have OMINOUS SHOWDOWN with exactly zero context

Red's getting messed up here & oh wait it's just a dream

love this green lighting tho

and now we're in a metal concert but the cops are busting it up (ACAB)

i do not know who cyborg eye is but his fashion sense is very 1990s

none of these people have any concern for the lives of the crowd & it's kinda upsetting

third jumpcut in as many minutes to a new setting, this movie has no time for exposition

cattle prod warehouse fight, got it

"this is where you fall down" GREAT DIALOGUE and apparently it's a movie set?!

tournament, once a generation, got it. so when is the millennial edition?

oh, Not Jeff Bridges was actually The Bad Dude from Green Room Dude's dream. this makes total sense.

glorious mullet goin on here

OMINOUS GONG

Liu Kang is the chosen one for the "order of light" and these old monks are giving him a real hard time

FUCKIN HIGHLANDER SHOWS UP IN AN APPROPRIATED HAT?

"not your god of thunder and lightning", says Liu Kang, but Highlander's eye sparks beg to differ

i think Christian Bale as Batman took a lot of vocal inspiration from Lightning Highlander's performance here

the Dragon Boat that just showed up at the dock is surely a good sign

Ponytail Cop is on a MISSION, remarkably unfazed by magic dragon boat

MAGIC NINJAS ARE HERE TO FUCK THINGS UP

but i guess Lightning Highlander is here to save the day? seems like he's doing some Gandalf cosplay as well

"come with me" *transforms into lightning & teleports*

my mans you gotta slow down & be followable!

someone get lightning highlander a ricola, his laryngitis is not sounding great

"the fate of billions will depend upon you. hahaha!"

was this movie written by Tommy Wiseau?

Johnny Cage falling off the boat into the water is pure comedic gold, and I wish this fate upon him many more times

also apparently this tournament is going to decide the fate of the world and like... none of the three people we've met so far seem particularly *good* at fighting?

Ponytail Cop doesn't believe in magic yet, but Mullet is ready to believe in LEGENDS.

fuck that is a lot of stairs.

LOVE this torch & monster statue aesthetic

a creepy reptile statue just came to life

what the fuck is this feast?

there is a lot of fire in this room and i can't help but think that Bad Guy Leather Duster must be awfully sweaty

ooh, "a taste of things to come", i love a good amuse-bouche

fuckin assholes just flipped all the tables over before dessert so Blue Ninja can get flexed on?

i stand corrected Blue Ninja does not fuck around with that freezey shit

"It's not her mind you're admiring" - Mullet sees thru Cage's womanizing ways!

the pacing of this movie is bananas

ominous ogre-like shadow, great

Cyborg Eye has WAY too much food for any one man. like, who needs a whole roast chicken

WHAT THE FUCK

THIS DUDE HAS TOO MANY ARMS AND ABS
