No Cars, All Kicks This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are back with spies, shadows, and a whole lot of martial arts chaos. They dig into Citadel Season 2 Episodes 5-7, check in on Spider-Noir Episodes 5-6, and throw down with the 2026 action film The Furious, starring Joe Taslim and Xie Miao. From high-stakes spy nonsense to black-and-white superhero noir to bone-crunching action, this episode has a little bit of everything. Citadel keeps pushing its global conspiracy machine forward, Spider-Noir continues blending superhero mythology with hardboiled detective vibes, and The Furious delivers exactly what the title promises: furious people kicking the absolute hell out of each other. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Citadel (Season 2, Episodes 5-7): 6:51 Spider-Noir (Episodes 5-6): 28:47 The Furious: 46:51 Citadel (Prime Video) Season 2, Episode 5 Title: Heirlooms Air date: May 6, 2026 Runtime: 49 minutes Director: David Weil / Joseph Russo Writer: David Weil and Kennedy Edmonds Summary: Mason and Dahlia put a dangerous prisoner exchange in motion as they try to negotiate Abby's release, but Mason's unraveling mental state threatens to blow up the whole plan. As both sides race to complete the trade, Abby reveals something that changes the stakes for everyone and pushes the season deeper into betrayal, family damage, and spy-world manipulation. Season 2, Episode 6 Title: Highlands Air date: May 6, 2026 Runtime: 36 minutes Director: Greg Yaitanes / Joseph Russo Writer: David J. Rosen and David Weil Summary: As Joana moves closer to assassinating the Russian president at the G8 Summit and taking control of a Russian satellite network, Mason and Nadia bring Abby to a safehouse in Scotland. What should be a moment to regroup becomes another emotional and tactical disaster when the team uncovers the horrifying truth about what was done to Abby, setting off a devastating chain of events. Season 2, Episode 7 Title: Chin Chin Air date: May 6, 2026 Runtime: 44 minutes Director: Greg Yaitanes / Joseph Russo Writer: David J. Rosen and David Weil Summary: The season finale brings the Citadel team to the G8 Summit, where Joana plans to assassinate President Aronov and seize control of Russian satellites. The team is forced into a dangerous infiltration mission full of impossible choices, collapsing loyalties, and the kind of last-minute spy chaos that turns a diplomatic summit into a battlefield. Rating Out of 10, The Unexpected is Always Unexpected Brian: 8.55/10 Daryl: 7.77/10 Season 2 Rating Out of 10, Hutch is THE MAN Brian: 8.3/10 Darryl: 7.5/10 Citadel Series Out of 10, Kane… Mason Kane Brian: 8/10 Darryl: 7.25/10 Spider-Noir (Prime Video) Season 1, Episode 5 Title: Betrayal Air date: May 27, 2026 Director: Alethea Jones Writer: Jennifer Frazin and Steve Lightfoot Summary: Robbie continues fighting to reclaim his place at the Bugle, using his exclusive stories about super-powered soldiers and the return of The Spider to make his case. The episode digs deeper into deception, identity, and the strange science behind this noir-soaked superhero world, pushing Ben Reilly further into the mystery while the danger around him keeps getting uglier. Season 1, Episode 6 Title: Nightmare on a Gurney Air date: May 27, 2026 Director: Alethea Jones Writer: Jack Henderson, Jennifer Frazin, and Megan Liao Summary: The mystery tightens as Ben Reilly, Robbie, and the rest of the players move closer to the truth behind the city's super-powered nightmare. With the endgame starting to take shape, the episode leans into medical horror, noir paranoia, and superhero conspiracy, setting up the final stretch of the season with more questions, more danger, and more bodies piling up in the shadows. Rating Out of 10, Come on Webs, Work! Brian: 7.3/10 Darryl: 8.25/10 The Furious (2026) Release Date: June 12, 2026 Runtime: 113 minutes Director: Kenji Tanigaki Writers: Mak Tin Shu, Lei Zhilong, Shum Kwan Sin, and Frank Hui Studios: Edko Films, Zhejiang Hengdian Film, and XYZ Films Distributor: Lionsgate Premiere / Lionsgate Films Rating: R for strong bloody violence and language Summary: When his daughter Rainy is kidnapped, humble tradesman Wang Wei is dragged into a violent criminal underworld where corruption, trafficking, and blood-soaked revenge collide. His only real ally is Navin, a journalist whose own family tragedy connects him to the same criminal network. Together, they fight through waves of gangsters, assassins, and human wrecking balls in a brutal martial arts rescue mission that is light on subtlety and very, very heavy on kicks. Main Cast: Xie Miao as Wang Wei Joe Taslim as Navin Yang Enyou as Rainy Jeeja Yanin as Matia Brian Le as Ho / HD Yayan Ruhian as Tak Joey Iwanaga as Pak Lung Production Notes: The Furious is directed by Kenji Tanigaki, a veteran stunt coordinator and action filmmaker, and the movie's biggest selling point is exactly what you would expect from that background: relentless, bone-crunching fight choreography. The film premiered internationally before its 2026 U.S. theatrical release, with coverage positioning it as a Hong Kong action throwback built around practical stunt work, violent hand-to-hand combat, and the kind of crowd-pleasing martial arts insanity that has drawn comparisons to The Raid and other modern action benchmarks. The film is commonly listed as a 2025 Hong Kong production because of its festival premiere, but its U.S. theatrical release is June 12, 2026. Lionsgate handled the U.S. release, and Movie Insider lists the film as a nationwide theatrical release with an R rating for strong bloody violence and language.

Directed by Simon McQuoid and written by Jeremy Slater, the film brings back Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Lewis Tan, Joe Taslim and Hiroyuki Sanada, while adding Karl Urban as fan-favorite Johnny Cage alongside Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn and Tati Gabrielle as Jade. This time the actual Mortal Kombat tournament takes center stage as Raiden's Earthrealm warriors battle Outworld for the fate of humanity. Does the sequel finally deliver the crowd-pleasing martial arts spectacle fans wanted, or is it just another CGI-heavy nostalgia machine? We break it all down.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Severus Snape Casting Controversy Continues. Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone HBO Series Trailer Reaction, Jon Bernthal (Daredevil Born again) returning as The Punisher before Spider-Man Brand New Day, Starfox in Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Alan Ritchson fights with a neighbor, Furious Trailer Reaction, & MORE! We react to the first official trailer for HBO's Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone and talk about why the Severus Snape casting discourse refuses to die down. From the look of Hogwarts to the tone of the reboot to the ongoing Paapa Essiedu controversy, there is already a LOT for fans to debate. We also dive into Marvel officially announcing The Punisher: One Last Kill, with Jon Bernthal returning as Frank Castle before Spider-Man: Brand New Day. What does this mean for the future of street-level Marvel, and how much Punisher are we about to get? Then we get into Nintendo madness as Fox McCloud from Star Fox is now entering the Super Mario Galaxy Movie conversation, which has people wondering if we're slowly heading toward a full-on Smash Bros. movie universe. On top of that, we discuss the Alan Ritchson neighbor fight situation, the latest updates surrounding that story, and react to The Furious trailer starring Xie Miao and Joe Taslim.

Welcome to our podcast series from The Super Network and Pop4D called Tubi Tuesdays Podcast! This podcast series is focused on discovering and doing commentaries/watch a longs for films found on the free streaming service Tubi, at TubiTVYour hosts for Tubi Tuesdays are Super Marcey, ‘The Terrible Australian' Bede Jermyn, Prof. Batch (From Pop4D & Web Tales: A Spider-Man Podcast) and Kollin (From Trash Panda Podcast), will take turns each week picking a film to watch and most of them will be ones we haven't seen before.Film Starts Playing At: 00:07:27Welcome back to The Tubi Tuesdays Podcast, the number one Tubi related podcast that's hosted by two Australians, one Canadian and one American! Unfortunately, regular co-host Super Marcey wasn't able to join this week, so Bede Jermyn, Prof. Batch & Trash Panda Kollin took over the show this week for another boys's night. Since it's his pick and it's suppose to be spooky month season of the podcast, Batch decided to go against the grain by picking the critically acclaimed 2011 action film The Raid. So why did Batch pick this film instead of a horror film in honour of October? Because he felt that this film should have won the poll of our 200th episode poll instead of Mac and Me. Did the guys have a good time with this one? Listen to find out!The Raid was directed by Gareth Evans, it stars Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim, Donny Alamsyah, Yayan Ruhian, Pierre Gruno, Ray Sahetapy and Tegar Sathya.If you have never listened to a commentary before and want to watch the film along with the podcast, here is how it works. You simply need to grab a copy of the film or load it up on Tubi (you may need alcohol), and sync up the podcast audio with the film. We will tell you when to press and you follow along, it is that easy! Because we have watched the films on Tubi, it is a free service and there are ads, however we will give a warning when it comes up, so you can pause the film and provide time stamps to keep in sync.Highlights include:* Batch throws out the rules when it comes to spooky season this month* Even though it isn't a horror film, Batch argues if you think about it, it is* Kollin has never seen the film before! We'll he love it?* Can Bede put both Batch & Kollin in line since Marcey isn't here this week?* Bede & Kollin both seen the recent horror film Good Boy and they have very different opinions on it* Wait, Kollin didn't like The Raid?! WHAT?!* Lot's of un-PC jokes on this one. You've been warned!* Plus much, much more!Check out The Super Network on Patreon to gain early access to The Tubi Tuesdays Podcast!DISCLAIMER: This audio commentary isn't meant to be taken seriously, it is just a humourous look at a film. It is for entertainment purposes, we do not wish to offend anyone who worked on and in the film, we have respect for you all.

Amazon is reviving the beloved sci-fi franchise with a new television series, executive-produced by James Wan. We also cover the bittersweet news for fans of Warrior: the show, initially canceled after three seasons on Max, had its hopes of a fourth season dashed despite streaming on Netflix.

Is Scott Adkins the natural successor to Jean-Claude Van Damme? Why did Andrew Koji almost quit acting only months before landing the lead role in the beloved kung fu series, Warrior? And can we expect a rematch between Indonesian action stars Joe Taslim and Iko Uwais? The answers to these questions and many more are revealed in Best of Actors, one of three compilation shows released simultaneously to celebrate the 100th episode of this podcast, which started life back in 2016. Over three episodes, I share some of my favourite conversations recorded over the last eight years of the show. On this episode, you will hear from: Cynthia Rothrock, the undisputed queen of martial arts movies, who discusses her feelings about being a role model for women in action cinema and the martial arts; Andrew Koji, the British actor whose career has gone from strength to strength after securing the lead role in the Warrior TV show, inspired by the writings of Bruce Lee; Scott Adkins, who has made five appearances on the show since its inception, who discusses his career highlights including receiving awards in China from Jackie Chan; Michiko Nishiwaki, the Japanese bodybuilder who became an action star during the golden age of Hong Kong action cinema in the 1980s and 90s; and Joe Taslim, Indonesian judo champion and one of the biggest names in modern martial arts cinema, whose films include The Raid, The Night Comes for Us, and Mortal Kombat.If you enjoyed this 'best of' compilation episode, remember to check out Best of Directors and Best of Stunts, which have also dropped at the same time as this episode.

No tarda en llegar al templo de Lord Raiden, un Dios Anciano y el protector de Earthrealm, que ofrece refugio a los que llevan la marca. Aquí, Cole entrena con los experimentados guerreros Liu Kang, Kung Lao y el mercenario rebelde Kano, mientras se prepara para enfrentarse a los mayores campeones de la Tierra contra los enemigos de Outworld (El Mundo Exterior) en una batalla de enorme envergadura por el universo. Veremos si los esfuerzos de Cole se ven recompensados y consigue desbloquear su arcana -ese inmenso poder que surge del interior de su alma— a tiempo de salvar no solo a su familia, sino para detener Outworld de una vez por todas.

Ten years ago, Gareth Evan's fists-and-fury action thriller busted out of Indonesian theaters and took the world by storm. Showcasing the Indonesian martial art of pencak silat, the film garnered international recognition for its stars Iko Uwais and Joe Taslim, praise for its frenetic, claustrophobic style, and imitation from films like 2015's Dredd. Retitled The Raid: Redemption for American cinemas, the film won the Midnight Madness People's Choice Award at Toronto International Film Festival and spawned a 2014 sequel. As we get ready for fall, it's a long way down from the top floor for THE RAID!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

On this week's episode, the gang was live on the Internet a while back chatting about the 2021 Mortal Kombat reboot! Yes, this was the film that had a horrendously animated all-lizard Reptile, a really cool prologue sequence that feels like it's from another (better) movie, someone getting stabbed with their own frozen blood, and, you guessed it, a no-name protagonist that no one in the audience cares about! PLUS: The return of the VHS Trailer Game and a stupid t-shirt contest!  Mortal Kombat (2021) stars Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Joe Taslim, Mehcad Brooks, Tadanobu Asano, Chin Han, Ludi Lin, Max Huang, and Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion; directed by Simon McQuoid.

Mortal Kombat (2021) Welcome to The Guys Review, where we review media, products and experiences.  **READ APPLE REVIEWS/Fan Mail**No fan mail, raitings or reviews. 28 ratings still.  Mortal Kombat Directed by: Simon McQuoid first major motion picture ever Based on the video game of the same name Starring: Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Joe Taslim, Hiroyuki Sanada Released April 23, 2021 Budget: $50M Box Office: according to wikipedia, currently, box office take is $50.1M Ratings:   IMDb 6.4/10 Rotten Tomates 55%Metacritic 44% Google Users 88% Plot:it opens on the Hanzo Hasashi Compound, Japan, 1617. A young family converses, and the son goes to check on the crying baby. The husband tells his wife he loves her and he goes to fetch more water. As he gets water, we see the dragon scar. In the house, that's strangely cold, the outside protectors are attacked, and the mother and son hide the baby. The attackers are speaking Chinese. A man in blue robes enters and asks where Hanzo is in Chinese and Japanese. He's shown growing ice out of his hand when they wont tell where Hanzo is. Hanzo hears screaming and runs back and finds his murdered guards, and spots his wife and son, bloody and frozen on the ground. Attackers come and hey are VIOLENTLY dispatched. He ties a rope through a blade and quickly kills more attackers. He finds the man in blue, Bi-Han, says he's killed all of Hanzos country-men. They Fight, and Bi-Han gets the upper-hand, stabbing him with his own spear, and leaves him. Though, Hanzo isn't quite dead yet, and he hears the hidden baby crying, he tried to drag himself back to the house, but dies before reaching the house. The dragon emblem then vanishes off his hand, and he disappears into flames. it begins to rain, and Raiden appears from lightning. He picks up the spear, and takes the baby, and disappears. Screen cuts to black. S:-Wife using the scorpion spike thing.-Hanzo getting stabbed and pulled up 6" would've gutted him.-Right off the bat, you know this is going to be MUCH different than the first film; so much character building and back ground on the initial two, or three with Raiden, characters. The violence and gore, too. The screen reads: "Earthrealm is on the verge of catastrophe, Should it lose one more tournament, the savage realm of outworld will invade. But and ancient prophecy foretells that a new group of champions will be united by the rise of Hanzo Hasashi's blood." Cole Younger, is getting ready for a fight. As he's fighting, we're shown a man watching him from the crowd. Cole taps out of the fight. We're taking to Outworld, a barren looking place. Subzero and Shang Tsung talk and they explain their plan to kill all of earths heros before the Mortal Kombat tournament. As Cole is cleaning up, he sees a flash of Hanzo in flames. Jax introduces himself to Cole; he asks about the dragon on his chest, who the girl says was a birthmark. Jax follows him, and it begins to snow, and they say it's July... Then the ice really starts to creep in. Subzero appears and begins to attack the street, and Cole, lifting and throwing huge balls of ice, Jax saves them and explains what the dragon mark is, and he must fight. Subzero stops them going down an alley, and Jax tells him to find Sonya Blade, and he goes after subzero in a building. Subzero surprises him, and they fight. It goes back and forth, but subzero gains the upper hand, then freezes Jaxs arms, and breaks them off. He falls down a shaft and isn't moving. Cole tells his wife he's got to go find Sonya to keep them safe. S:-Immediately off the bat, you know who Cole is, the yellow and black, just like Hanzo shown in the scene before him.-The girl braiding the yellow and black bracelet.-Is the girl his daughter or just a gf's daughter?-When Jax and Cole meet, he mentions Cole took a belt from Eddie Tobias, who is the creator of MK-Apparently there is canon how Jax loses his arms, but this changes it. Also, originally, Subzero was somewhat of a good guy. Back in outworld, Mileena meets with Shang Tsung, telling him Jax is dead and someone got away. Tsung, tells her to kill them all, and that winning 9 straight without cheating is impossible, to send the reptile to finish it. As the camera pulls back, we see a large statue of a four armed creature. Cole arrives and is ambushed by Sonya. She lets him in and we learn about the history of the dragon markings. Lots of exposition, world building, and that his mark means he has to fight in Mortal Kombat. Cole looks at the boards, and sees a drawing of Hanzo, and has another flash. Kano interrupts and we're introduced to him, who makes fun of Sonya for not having a mark. Suddenly the lights go out and the trio are attacked by the camouflaged reptile. The three alternate attacks, and Kano escapes his handcuffs and uses a knife that was thrown into his leg by Sonya, and stabs a flare to its back, so they can see it. Reptile grabs Kano, and while distracted, Sonya throws a knife into it's chest, it drops Kano, who pulls out the knife, punches the wound and pulls out the creatures heart, stating, "Kano wins." S:-Why do their voices sound different in outworld? There's a weird echo?-Kano is actually hilarious-Reptile looks awesome, thank God.-If Reptiles saliva is acidic, strange it's blood isn't.-too bad they killed Reptile off so fast. Kano, for some reason, has stayed with Cole and Sonya. As they're trying to put together where to go, Kano discloses he knows where Raidens temple by running guns. Sonya and Kano go back and forth, and agree that Kano will take them for $3M. Which turns out was a ruse by Sonya. On the plane, Cole has another vision/dream. They parachute into someplace that looks like outworld... and Kano is lost. He and Sonya have words and a quick fight, with Kano goading her to kill him and take the mark. They finally find someone walking in the desert, when Kano approaches, he's shot back with a fireball produced by who we learn is Liu Kang. Kano is hyped to learn he may get super powers. Liu Kang leads them to Raidens temple. He explains the back ground of the temple, and that they must begin their training. They enter the temple and se see wall drawings of other tournaments, and other characters. Cole comes across a drawing of the intro fight, Bi-Han and Hanzo, and recognizes the spear from a vision. Liu Kang says again they must train to find their inner power. Sonya wonders off and she finds Jax, alive. Liu Kang found him, and they are trying to heal him. Liu introduces them to Raiden, and he is not impressed. S:-Love the foreshadowing and Kano mumbling "I fucking hate garden gnomes."-I like how they replaced Kanos metal face/eye with the scar.. more "realistic"-I don't think Kano wants the marking... I'd almost say he's scared.-This temple is thousands of years old, yet, they've got some glass conductor right in the middle of it? Weird.-Raiden was kind of a dick Liu Kang, meditating, hears something in the temple and Subzero is shown opening the temple door; Liu Kang attacks, and subzero returns blows, as he grabs him, a hat comes flying in, knocks him back, and lands. A man then materializes below it who Liu identifies as his cousin. Tsung walks in with Mileena, and confronts Raiden, stating conflict outside of mortal kombat isn't excluded and the elder gods are too lazy to do anything, he then orders his followers to kill them. Raiden slams his staff down, and brings a protective barrier down around them. Kung Lao is introduced, and we're told the power comes from their arcana, a gift from the dragon symbol, and that to defeat the other fighters, they'll have to unlock their arcana through fighting. Sonya can't fight since she doesn't have a mark. Dejected, she sits with Jax who comes to, and sees hes got new metal arms. Cole and Kano fight Kung Lao and Liu Kang, and are defeated, with out finding their arcana. Liu tells Cole how he got his arcana, by killing a man who sold orphans like himself. Cole fights and loses again, Jax is angry/upset with his new arms. Sonya recounts her first day of training with Jax to keep going or regret it for the rest of your life. Eating dinner, Kano keeps picking at people, and Kung Lao and Liu Kang antagonize him. Calling him an aggressive bunny. During an explosive outburst, Kano shoots a laser out of his eye... the first to harness his arcana. Cole is literally just getting beat, not fighting back, to focus on the pain, with no luck. Raiden tells Cole his linage, a descendant of Hanzo, that when he died, he went to the neatherealm in hell to search for revenge. Raiden sends Cole back to his family, saying the blood still isn't as strong. S:-The barrier and the whole training bit is a bit trope-y...-"All you can do now is test your might"-I like the 80's feeling synth/techno fight music... But Kung Laos stances with his hat are kinda dumb-This whole section kinda drags.-Decent looking lightning Back in outword, Shang Tsung introduces Nitara, Kabal and Gen Reiko. Kabal says he knows Kano, and can get them by the barrier. We're shown Goros shadow. Kabal convinces Kano to betray everyone. Cole hears something in a barn...back to Kano destroying Raidens staff and the barrier. Shang tsung enters with his fighters and Kano switches sides... Cole watches Goro emerge from the barn. They all start to fight, and the earthrelm fighters aren't doing too well. Sonya is stabbed, and Kano drops stone hand on her. Kabal and Liu Kang fight, meanwhile Kung Lau waits for Nitara... When she flies in and attacks, he jumps on her, rides her around, puts his razor tipped hat in the sand spinning, and puts her through head first, cutting her in half... Finishing with a "flawless victory." Back to Cole, Goro is about to tear Cole in half, when Allison attacks with an axe, they get in a truck and try to run him down, Goro pulls Allison out, watching Coles bracelet comes alive and wraps his body in an armor. Goro hits him with a door, which leaves his chest glowing, otherwise unhurt. As they fight, Goro pounds on him, causing his armor to glow, Emily yells, "dad, use your uppercut!" and the glowing energy transfers to his fist, hitting Goro and knocking him back, surprised. Goro jumps and does an attack that leaves much of Coles chest glowing, that then transfers to his arms, and two stylized tonfas appear. They continue to fight, and Cole gains the upper hand, by literally taking one of Goros, disemboweling him, and shoving a tonfa through his eye. Goro falls dead. Cole checks on his family, and Emily tells him, "Bad ass suit, dad." S:-Kabal is hilarious too.-While goro is obviously computer generated, still better than the 95 version-In the barn, the pole that Cole breaks, you can clearly see where its supposed to break.-According to Lewis Tan, who plays Cole, "They were described to me by [director Simon McQuoid] as a protection over the heritage that runs through the bloodline of Cole Young. In the beginning of the movie, if you look carefully at the basket that his great-great-great grandmother was placed in, you can see though the same webbing/cross-hatching that's on [Cole's] suit is the same thing that was on that basket. It's the same design. [It's] not only the design that saved this baby, but it's a design that saved his bloodline, and it's a design that's physically protecting his body." Back at Raidens temple, Jax wakes up to find Sonya under the rock, he asks for help, and as he tries to lift her, his arms start to transform. We then see his new, bigger arcana arms. Raiden arrives, and sends a doorway for Cole. Raiden reveals he planned for Cole to leave and find his arcana, and reveals Coles bloodline to subzero. As Raiden is about to leave with everyone, tsung tells subzero to stop him, and he blasts Cole from the teleport beam. As Subzero moves in to attack, Kung Lau stops him, while distracted, Shang Tsung pulls him to him and sucks his soul, killing him. Raiden takes the fighters into the void, he tells Cole about the spear with Hanzos blade. Cole comes up with a plan to split up the fighters, but to do it their way. Raiden sends Jax with Reiko, Sonya against Kano, though she wants the "bitch with the teeth." Liu Kang and Cole take Meelna and Kabal. Saving Subzero for last, to take out together. We switch back and forth, Liu and Kabal, Cole and Meelna, Reiko and Jax, who breaks Reikos hammer, beats him down to his knees, and then crushes his head, saying, "yea, these mother fuckers work." Kano is being sneak attacked by Sonya, they fight and Sonya disables his laser by throwing acetate in his eye, they bust through the window back outside on the ground, Kano is choking her, and she searches for something... She grabs the gnome from earlier and stabbs Kano thorugh the eye, and gains his dragon on her arm. Liu does a bicycle kick to Kabal, the preforms a fire-dragon fatality, for Kung Lau. Mileena screams and her cheeks split showing her huge mouth, biting Coles tonfa, Sonya then appears and blasts a hole through Meelna, killing her. Cutting back to Coles family, they're packing up to leave, and Subzero appears. The then appears to Cole, and shows the bracelet she made early on, freezes it, and crushes it. As he steps back through the teleporting smoke, Cole follows and arrives in a frozen gym from the beginning of the movie. S:-Cool, if silly fatalities-Most of the places the final battles occur in are stages from the game, the pit for sure, probably not Sonyas trailer though.-pretty impressive how quickly Sonya accesses her arcana. Cole sees his family, but Subzero attacks, wanting to end the Hanzo bloodline. They fight and subzero is getting the upper hand, telling him he'll die with his family, he grabs the spear and tries to stab subzero, but is reversed, and when the blade cuts into Coles hand, it starts to glow red with fire. Subzero recognizes it as the blade of Hanzo, and as he's about to stab Cole with is, a flaming spear pierces his arm, behind him, Hanzo, or Scorpion, appears and says his trademark, "Get over here", yanking him away from Cole. Hanzo tells Subzero he's risen from hell to kill him. He removes his mask, asking if he remembers the face, and that he is now Scorpion. Cole starts trying to get his family out, and Scorpion and Subzero fight. When Scorpion sees Coles family, he's taken aback, reminded of his family. Cole and Scorpion both faceoff against subzero. He freezes Scorpion, and starts losing armor. Scorpion breaks free with a firy blast, and Coles family wake up. Subzero removes his helmet, and says, "for the Lin Kuei." They fight and it's obvious Subzero is defeated, Scorpion tells Cole to leave him, Cole gets his family as Scorpion tells Subzero, "You hoped I would burn in the fires of hell... but instead, I learned to control them." He sends a fiery blast at Subzero, killing him. He tells Cole he's freed him, and to take care of his bloodline...and vanishes in fire. Raiden and the others appear, Raiden sees the body of Subzero and is impressed. Shang Tsung appears and they confront each other. tsung says death is only another portal, and the bodies of Subzero and Goro disappear. He threatens to return with armies, and Raiden sends him away, saying, "He talks too much. Raiden says hes going to assemble a new list of champions and Cole asks whos first. Cole is showing cleaning out his locker, and says hes going to Hollywood, as the camera pans we see a headless poster for a Johnny Cage movie, Citizen Cage: Fight For Your Rights, cut to end credits and the the remixed Mortal Kombat theme. S:-thought the fighting was solid..-Hated we had to wait SO LONG to see scorpion, but worth the wait.-Interesting twist making subzero bad an scorpion good.-I do wonder how many more movies like this Sanada can/could do, he's 61. Webpage: https://theguysreview.simplecast.com/EM: theguysreviewpod@gmail.comIG: @TheGuysReviewPodTwitter: @The_GuysReviewFB: https://facebook.com/TheGuysReviewPod/
