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. Joe Taslim, who played Li Young, shared heartfelt words about the show's impact and its unfortunate end. We then turn our attention to the DC Universe as Friday Night Lights star Kyle Chandler steps into the role of Green Lantern Hal Jordan in DC and HBO's Lanterns series. According to reports, the live-action series is actively casting and preparing for a January 2025 filming start in Atlanta. Additionally, Netflix has announced a collaboration with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson for a documentary series on Sean "Diddy" Combs, which will explore recent charges and allegations against the music mogul, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Also, Titanic and Avatar director James Cameron is facing backlash after it was announced that he has joined the board of an artificial intelligence start-up. In our "Coming Soon/Preview" segment, we spotlight trailers from Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts, Sinners, Ballerina, and The Last of Us Season Two teaser.

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?

Cole teme por la seguridad de su familia y busca a Sonya Blade siguiendo las indicaciones de Jax, un comandante de las Fuerzas Especiales que tiene la misma extraña marca de dragón con la que nació Cole. 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, film review - rDNA Podcast #MortalKombat #MortalKombat2021review #FilmReviews Mortal Kombat is a 2021 martial arts fantasy film based on the video game franchise of the same name and a reboot of the Mortal Kombat film series. The film stars Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Max Huang, Joe Taslim, and Hiroyuki Sanada. It is directed by Simon McQuoid (in his feature directorial debut), from a screenplay by Greg Russo and Dave Callaham and a screen story by Russo and Oren Uziel. The film follows Cole Young, a washed-up mixed martial arts fighter who is unaware of his hidden lineage or why assassin Sub-Zero is hunting him down. Concerned for the safety of his family, he seeks out a clique of fighters that were chosen to defend Earthrealm against Outworld. Following the critical and commercial failure of the 1997 film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, a third Mortal Kombat film languished in development hell for a period of nearly two decades. In late 2010, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema (whose parent company acquired the franchise from Midway Games in 2009) began developing a new film, with Kevin Tancharoen serving as director from a script written by Uziel in the wake of their Mortal Kombat: Rebirth short film. James Wan was announced as a producer in August 2015 and McQuoid was hired as director in November 2016. Production took place at Adelaide Studios in Adelaide and at other locations in South Australia. Principal photography occurred from September to December 2019. Mortal Kombat was released internationally on April 8, 2021, then in the United States on April 23, simultaneously in theaters in Dolby Cinema, IMAX and 4DX and on the HBO Max streaming service. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $83.6 million worldwide against a $55 million budget. It became HBO Max's most-successful film launch to date. A sequel is in development with Jeremy Slater set to write the screenplay. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/doseofnerdacumen/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/doseofnerdacumen/support
“PULLING A TRIGGER IS LIKE ORDERING TAKE OUT.“Hello listeners! We are BACK from our winter recess with an adrenaline pumping action movie in 2011's, The Raid: Redemption directed by Gareth Evans. We talked a lot about action movies in our last episode, so we figured we'd kick the new year off with a classic. A martial arts action movie so good, Netflix is currently in the process of making a remake… Yeah.. BUT! Before we get hung up on the concept of remakes, how did a 1 million dollar budget movie from Indonesia, directed by Welshman, became a word-of-mouth hit that introduced Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim, Yayan Ruhian, and martial art of penchat silat to the world? We talk about all of that on this weeks episode!We get into what makes this movie a “good action movie.“ At Retro Grade Podcast, we talk about different genres of movies and how they should all be judged accordingly. An action movie needs to make it's action scenes distinct, come up with fresh choreography that it visually interesting, and use cinematography to capture the action in a way that lets the audience see and feel the hits. The Raid does ALL of that, with meticulously planned fight choreography from Iko and Yayan and the use of a figrig on a small digital camera to capture martial arts in a way not seen before. Before they ever stepped foot on the set, the fight scenes were rehearsed with the camera movements in the gym through a process called previs, which has since become a standard practice of industry leading stunt team: 87eleven. Before we inevitably watch the remake, how does the original Raid hold up today? Find out what we think on this episode!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o

All January-long is reserved to "celebrate" the Worst of 2021 and so the guys start off hot by talking about Mortal Kombat, the R-rated attempt at creating a better version of the 90s flick. Why does the tournament never actually happen in the movie? What's with all the obnoxious shoehorned video game references? Why suck up to the fans this much and yet still introduce a COMPLETELY NEW main character? Is "Arcana" this movie's version of "metachlorians"? All this and more!

Mortal Kombat is a 2021 martial arts fantasy film based on the video game franchise of the same name and a reboot of the Mortal Kombat film series.[4] The film stars Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Tadanobu Asano, Mehcad Brooks, Ludi Lin, Chin Han, Max Huang, Joe Taslim, and Hiroyuki Sanada. It is directed by Simon McQuoid (in his feature directorial debut), from a screenplay by Greg Russo and Dave Callaham and a screen story by Russo and Oren Uziel.[5] The film follows Cole Young, a washed-up mixed martial arts fighter who is unaware of his hidden lineage or why assassin Sub-Zero is hunting him down. Concerned for the safety of his family, he seeks out a clique of fighters that were chosen to defend Earthrealm against Outworld.Following the critical and commercial failure of the 1997 film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, a third Mortal Kombat film languished in development hell for a period of nearly two decades. In late 2010, Warner Bros. Pictures and New Line Cinema (whose parent company acquired the franchise from Midway Games in 2009) began developing a new film, with Kevin Tancharoen serving as director from a script written by Uziel in the wake of their Mortal Kombat: Rebirth short film. James Wan was announced as a producer in August 2015 and McQuoid was hired as director in November 2016. Production took place at Adelaide Studios in Adelaide and at other locations in South Australia.[6] Principal photography occurred from September to December 2019.Support Our SponsorsIndie Merch Store - https://www.indiemerchstore.com use promo code JASTA10 at check outMartyrstore - https://martyrstore.net use code JJ15The Mad Russian Apothecary - https://www.madrussianapothecary.com use code JASTA21Promescent - Use this link: https://bit.ly/3y9jZAP to get 15% off + free shipping automatically added on all orders!Rockauto - https://www.rockauto.comSubscribe On GaS Digitalhttps://gasdigitalnetwork.com/gdn-show-channels/the-jasta-show/USE PROMO Code JASTA for a 7 day free trial.Follow Jamey On Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/jastaFollow Jamey On Social Mediahttps://twitter.com/jameyjastahttps://www.instagram.com/jameyjastaFollow Brian MacKay On Social Mediahttps://twitter.com/bmackayisrighthttps://www.instagram.com/bmackayisrightMusician, former television host, and podcaster Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed, Kingdom of Sorrow, Jasta and the former host of MTV's Headbanger's Ball) interviews your heroes every Monday and Thursday.

Actor Rich Ting stars as "Bolo" in Bruce Lee's Warrior on HBO Max. He was honored as Grand Marshall of the San Francisco Chinese New Year Festival and Parade for 2023.Directed by Justin Lin of the Fast & Furious movie franchise, the Warrior television series was inspired by the writings and work of Bruce Lee and brought Rich's career full circle by connecting him to the childhood icon he idolized. Rich joined Warrior castmates Andrew Koji, Dianne Doan, Olivia Cheng, Joe Taslim, Perry Young, Jason Tobin, Dustin Nguyen, Hoon Lee, Kieran Bew, Tom Weston-Jones, Dean Jagger, and Joanna Vanderham. Other screen credits include Magnum P.I., The Old Man, Lone Survivor, The Man in the High Castle, Salt, Supergirl, and NCIS: Los Angeles, among many other appearances in popular films and tv series. He recently appeared at Carter Min in Partner Track on Netflix.A fourth-generation Asian American of mixed descent born in Los Angeles, Rich has been a martial artist and multi-sport athlete from a young age. He played college football at Yale University and earned a dual JD/MBA degree. Coincidentally, Rich's character in Partner Track is also an Ivy League lawyer opposite the series lead, Arden Cho. Rich was headed for a lucrative career in corporate law when his ambitions turned to Hollywood. Solid parental grounding, relentless work ethic, and a healthy dose of self-belief and fearlessness gave Rich the edge he needed to launch himself into Hollywood stardom. We dive into how Rich turned his biggest hurdle into his most significant opportunity, staying gooey and embracing your fear of the unknown.Among the life lessons that guide him, Rich shares his core values of accountability, responsibility, and being a good person — and what Bruce Lee once said that keeps Rich in perpetual motion.
One of the best, most undersung action shows on television is Cinemax's Warrior, a stylish period piece based largely on concepts developed by the late Bruce Lee for a show that would eventually (and unfortunately) become Kung Fu. Charting the conflicts between Chinese gangs and the American police in San Francisco's Chinatown in the 19th century, it's a show that combines some of the best, clearest action on TV (thanks to Andrew Koji, Joe Taslim, and a roster of incredible martial artists and choreographers) with a tale of America's own reckoning with its racial animus. Adding to the cool factor is the show's jaunty, stylistically agile score, co-written by Reza Safinia alongside creative partner H. Scott Salinas. A multi-instrumentalist composer who's worked on shows like Snatch, P-Valley, and the Nicolas Cage film The Trust, Safinia scores with a decidedly meditative, deliberate approach -- no doubt aided by his years of connection to creative meditation, Daoist philosophies, and the like. On top of his scoring for Warrior (which just received a surprise renewal thanks to HBO Max), Safinia has also been hard at work on a set of dual concept albums, Yin and Yang, which explore the flowing musical conversation between classical and electronic music. Together, Safinia and I talked about those albums, the relationship between meditation and music, and crafting the hard-hitting score to Warrior. You can find Reza Safinia's official site here. Warrior is currently streaming on HBO Max, with a third season on the way. You can listen to the soundtracks for seasons 1 and 2, as well as Reza's albums Yin and Yang, on Spotify and other music streaming services.

Francesco Alò ci parla di Mortal Kombat, il film di Simon McQuoid con Lewis Tan, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Joe Taslim, disponibile su Sky e in streaming su NOW dal 30 maggio.
Indonesian actor Joe Taslim fell in love with Judo, where he won his first National Championship in 1997. About 15 years later, he took his MMA repertoire to the big screen, eventually landing roles in major Hollywood films. Taslim is best known for roles in The Raid: Redemption, Fast & Furious 6, Star Trek Beyond, Warrior, and now, Mortal Kombat, where he stars as the iconic character Sub-Zero. In this interview, Taslim talks about his transition from judo to acting, how action stars can better portray energetic characters without using doubles, why he trains twice per day for “violent dances,” and why Asian movies train for months for those amazing action sequences.

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.

This week on Total Movie Recall, Steve and Ryan discover that there's actually an antidote to getting punched really, really hard. The cultural divide proves too much for Ryan in this wild, fantastic, hallucinatory Kung Fu epic of many names. The story is incomprehensible, the fights are nonsensical, but Steve still finds it defensible, while Ryan finds the editing reprehensible. There's no reason for this rhyme. Kung Fu Cult Master (1993) d. Jing Wong, Sammo Kam-Bo Hung Starring: Jet Li Man Cheung Chingmy Yau Set during the Yuen Dynasty, many sects compete for possession of the two golden swords which contain the secret to dominance of the world of martial arts. The first faction, led by Shaolin, consists of Shaolin, Wu Tang, Ngo Mai, Kun Lun, Hung Tung and Wah Shan. The second is the Ming Sect, otherwise known as the Fire Sect or Evil Sect, led by branch leaders Queen of Purple Dragon, King of White Eagle, King of Gold Lion and King of Green Bat. A student of Wu Tang, befriends Gold Lion and marries the daughter of White Eagle. He is killed for the secret of the location of the missing sword. His infant son witnesses this and vows revenge on the heads of the sect. Unfortunately he has a jinx which prevents him from learning martial arts.
