Featuring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage, Adeline Rudolph as Kitana, Martyn Ford as Shao Kahn, Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Mehcad Brooks as Jax, and Josh Lawson as Kano, this chapter raises the stakes with brutal fatalities, epic battles, and classic Mortal Kombat lore.

Neste episódio do podcast De Volta Para o Sofá, nós rebobinamos a fita até o ano de 1995 para revisitarmos "Mortal Kombat", primeira adaptação para o cinema do popular jogo de luta. O filme tem direção de Paul W.S. Anderson (que mais tarde também levaria "Resident Evil" para a telona) e no elenco principal estão Robin Shou (Liu Kang), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang-Tsung), Christopher Lambert (Rayden), Bridgette Wilson (Sonya Blade), Linden Ashby (Johnny Cage) e Talisa Soto (Kitana). Prepare o seu Fatality e aperte o play para revisitar "Mortal Kombat" com a gente! Venha descobrir se o filme ainda é tão marcante quanto na época em que o vimos pela primeira vez. Confira abaixo a minutagem dos quadros do podcast: 00:00:00 - Introdução 00:01:23 - Memória Afetiva: quando vimos o filme pela primeira vez e como foi revê-lo agora? 00:22:02 - Almanaque: uma coleção de informações, reflexões e curiosidades 00:44:12 - Deu Tilt: aspectos que ficaram datados ou cenas que não funcionam mais 01:03:53 - Momento Supra Sumo: nossas cenas favoritas 01:14:59 - Por Onde Anda: saiba o que o elenco principal está fazendo hoje em dia 01:38:17 - Música de Encerramento - Visite a página do podcast no site e confira material extra sobre o tema do episódio - Junte-se ao Cineclube Cinematório e tenha acesso a conteúdo exclusivo de cinema Em "Mortal Kombat", três relutantes lutadores -- Liu Kang, Sonya Blade e Johnny Cage -- são enviados para uma ilha remota onde enfrentarão adversários perigosos em um torneio no qual o destino da Terra está em jogo. Com a ajuda do poderoso Lord Rayden, eles terão que passar por combates mortais até chegarem ao confronto final contra o temido feiticeiro Shang-Tsung. Lançado quando os jogos de "Mortal Kombat" já eram uma febre mundial, o filme fez sucesso de bilheteria, mas foi alvo de críticas por retirar quase que integralmente a violência extrema e o sangue que fizeram a fama do game e o tornaram o principal concorrente de "Street Fighter" nos fliperamas. O longa teve uma continuação, "Mortal Kombat - A Aniquilação" (1997), e mais tarde a franquia ganhou séries de TV e um reboot no cinema, em 2021. No podcast, nós relembramos quando assistimos a "Mortal Kombat" pela primeira vez e você conhece diversas curiosidades sobre a produção. O programa traz ainda o quadro "Deu Tilt", no qual nós listamos aspectos ou cenas que não funcionaram na revisão do filme, e o "Momento Supra Sumo", quando nós elegemos nossas cenas favoritas.

This week, we review Mortal Kombat (1995), Paul W.S. Anderson's action-packed martial arts fantasy based on the iconic Midway video game franchise. Robin Shou, Linden Ashby, and Bridgette Wilson star as Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade — three warriors chosen to fight in an ancient interdimensional tournament to save Earth from the clutches of the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung, played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. With Christopher Lambert presiding over the chaos as the thunder god Raiden, and Outworld already sitting on nine wins out of ten, the stakes couldn't be higher. This film raises intriguing questions about what it truly means to fight for humanity — and whether a dodgy CGI lizard man is really the best line of defence.Is Mortal Kombat a finishing move or a finishing disaster?

MK2 (2026): Fatalities, Fan Service & a Panel Divided | ft. Brian from Lucky Finds ComicsJose (Cupcake), Mike (WillDaBeast), and Brian from Luck Key Finds Comics go spoiler-free on Mortal Kombat 2 (2026) — and the panel is split wide open. Karl Urban arrives as Johnny Cage, Ludi Lin returns as Liu Kang, Josh Lawson is back as Kano, and Adeline Rudolph steps up as Katana in a film that's part fan service, part franchise-building behemoth, and — for at least one of us — a brutal disappointment. Fans of Mortal Kombat (1995), Mortal Kombat (2021), and classic video game tournament films like Enter the Dragon and Bloodsport will find a lot to chew on here. We dig into the franchise legacy, the creative team behind the film, and deliver three very different verdicts — including one that drops the hammer hard. Watch or skip?

Welcome to the final battle of Dan's season of video game movies, where we tackle the quintessential 90s movie adaptation of Midway's hyper-violent fighting game, Mortal Kombat (1995). We're closing out the season in style – or perhaps lack thereof – with the second appearance of director Paul W.S. Anderson (see our episode covering Resident Evil at the beginning of the season). Dan admits this computer game adaptation is effin stupid but still finds it fun and iconic. Meanwhile, Sarah is glad it's over for fear of any more video game movies potentially invoking mental illness upon her. This cheesy 90s action film was a massive box-office success, grossing over $120 million on a $20 million budget. We discuss the perplexing decision by New Line Cinema (who built their brand on Freddy Krueger!) to water down the signature violence and force a PG-13 rating, denying the R-rated fatalities the source material demands. Dan defends Anderson's work, noting that the director adapted his methods on set as advised by proficient martial artist and star Robin Shou (Liu Kang). We marvel at how much dedication Christopher Lambert (Raiden) had for the project and celebrate the fact that the film features some of the first major Hollywood wirework. However, we can't stop asking: What exactly is Goro, the animatronic monster that ate 5% of the film's budget? We scrutinise the confusing plot, the jarring CGI and why the usually badass Sonya Blade (Bridget Wilson Sampras) gets sidelined and forced into a dress. Listen as Sarah unleashes a final FATALITY on the season's terrible musical selections, citing the theme song as the worst soundtrack of the season–a claim Dan aggressively disputes. What to expect from this episode: We explain why the movie adaptation was forced to go PG-13, despite the game's hyper-violent reputation. Dan and Sarah argue over the iconic (or headache-inducing) movie soundtrack. We discuss the complex animatronics required to bring Goro to life, which cost $1 million and required 13-16 operators. Critique of the film's messy opening, where characters like Liu Kang, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage are introduced haphazardly. Sarah shares some interesting trivia about how Kano's character was adapted in the game's following the release of Mortal Kombat (1995). We praise the decent fighting choreography, noting the early use of wirework in Hollywood inspired by Hong Kong action films. We discuss how Christopher Lambert's casting as Raiden was influenced by his love for the original fighting game. And finally, we thank our podcast pals Chris and Joel at Just the Thing podcast for the shout-out on their Resident Evil: Afterlife episode, which is an excellent companion show for our Resident Evil episode. Sadly, that concludes Dan's season of video-game adaptations but fear not, for we will return on November 24th for a brand new season and a brand new theme, as chosen by Sarah.

Bienvenidos a otro podcast de "Aventura Sonora" aquí en TERRAESCRIBIENTE. En esta ocasión vamos a escuchar "COMBATE MORTAL" En el Japón del siglo XVII, Hanzo Hasashi, líder de un clan honorable, es traicionado y su familia brutalmente asesinada por Bi-Han y sus despiadados asesinos. Hanzo, conocido como Scorpion, lucha valientemente pero cae ante Bi-Han, quien lo envía al inframundo. La tragedia deja una profunda huella en el destino de su descendencia. Siglos después, el mundo se enfrenta al décimo torneo de Mortal Kombat, donde el mundo Exterior amenaza con aniquilar Earthrealm. Una antigua profecía predice que la sangre de Hanzo Hasashi será clave para la salvación de Earthrealm. En este contexto, el joven luchador Cole Young emerge marcado por el destino, enfrentándose al brutal Sub-Zero y descubriendo su legado como descendiente de Scorpion. Guiado por Raiden, el dios del trueno protector del Reino de la Tierra, Cole se une a los legendarios guerreros Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Sonya Blade y Jax para desbloquear su potencial único, su "Arcana". En una épica lucha contra la traición y las fuerzas oscuras de Shang Tsung, Cole enfrenta su destino, desatando el poder de Scorpion para vengar a su familia y proteger a los suyos. Con valentía y determinación, Cole y sus aliados preparan el camino para la gloria en la batalla final contra Sub-Zero, asegurando el futuro del Reino de la Tierra mientras Raiden se prepara para un nuevo capítulo en la eterna lucha por la supervivencia.

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is a 2002 fighting game developed and published by Midway for the Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance. It was the first all-new Mortal Kombat fighting game produced exclusively for home consoles, with no preceding arcade release. It is the fifth main installment in the Mortal Kombat franchise and a sequel to 1997's Mortal Kombat 4. Its story focuses on the eponymous alliance between sorcerers Quan Chi and Shang Tsung and their schemes to revive an ancient army to conquer Outworld and Earthrealm. The game is the only main installment not to feature series protagonist Liu Kang as a playable character. It is also the first game in the canon series to not have the involvement of co-creator John Tobias, as he left Midway in 1999 to pursue other interests. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/princekenjistm/message

I had heard about the dishwashers in South Korea going their own way. But this term is new to me. Part of the wikipedia entry about the Sampo Generation says this and I quote: "Many of the young generation in South Korea have given up those three things because of social pressures and economic problems such as increasing cost-of-living, tuition payments, and affordable housing scarcity. There is also the opo sedae, or "five giving-up generation", which takes the same three and adds employment and home ownership. The chilpo sedae ("seven giving-up generation") further includes interpersonal relationships and hope, while the gupo sedae ("nine giving-up generation") extends to physical health and appearance. Finally, the sippo sedae ("ten giving-up generation") or wanpo sedae ("total giving-up generation") culminates in giving up life. The Sampo generation is similar to the Satori generation in Japan." unquote. This all kind of reminds me of the four or five levels of MGTOW. But that only goes as far as living as a reclusive self sufficient hermit in the woods. Not offing yourself. So I did a bit more research on this and discovered a mix race couple's YouTube channel called 2 heart 1 seoul spelled Seoul where the guy is Korean and his partner she's Canadian. They made a video about the Sampo generation and that's how I found them. They reminded me of all the mixed race couples with white whamen and Indian guys. Again he looks tall and looks like a Liu Kang instead an Incel no one wants to bang. Seems like western whamen are poaching the best men from foreign lands and geomaxxing too. In their video about the Sampo Generation they say the reason many guys are checking out is because it costs too much financially to get married and start a family. Also that it doesn't apply to people who actively choose to go their own way. Only those that have been sent their own way becauase they can't afford dating, marriage and children. Sure blame it on money when it's also a feminism and gynocentrism thing. Remember that Korea has the highest rates of feminism out of China, Japan and Korea and when you stop being a Christian it's not like you give up on your faith completely. You start falling for the feminist faith instead. It's easy to just blame money for the reason why guys are checking out in Korea. Remember that there are tons of MRAs in Korea fighting for men's rights. Guys are learning how to fight back against feminism in Korea better than any other country in the world and are going after companies that promote feminism and boycott them and as a result woke companies have to bend the knee instead of the other way around.

Even if you can't support me financially at the paypal or subscribestar links below the best thing you can do is start watching me on Rumble. Link is below. Anyways I found an article called Why China's Marriage Crisis is and existential threat to the country which I've linked below and let me paraphrase what it says. President Xi Jinping is trying to bring about a bunch of initiaties to deal with China's declining fertility rate. But there is nothing that will be able to stop the demographic implosion in China. China is a hyper-traditional soyciety and having kids if you're not married is a massive social faux pa. Marriage rates just hit a 35 year low and the lockdowns aren't helping either. Between 2013 and 2019, the number of Chinese citizens getting married fell from 23.8 million to 13.9 million, a 41 percent drop. The one child policy means there are less people to get married so that's understandable. Plus not to mention that more of those born in the one child policy were males. I bet they regret ever introducing that policy now because 400 million souls weren't born. Not to mention that there is a changing attitude towards marriage in China where many women are edumacated and make their own money. Plus it's customary for Chinese men to smack around their wives and it's understandable that many women don't want that. The Chinese have this crazy saying where “If you don't beat your wife every three days, she'll start tearing up roof tiles.” A quarter of Chinese women are victims of domestic violence. So Chinese women can be forgiven for having second thoughts about marriage, especially if they were raised in an abusive household. I guess they just want to heal from that trauma and Liu Kang doing his finishing move on them every third night isn't going to happen. So they've gone sub zero or their own way from marriage. Another reason Chinese people aren't getting married and making babies is because of the crazy cost of living. The CCP wants higher real estate and other asset prices but that just reduces the marriage formation. China's GDP per capita is only 10k a year. Factory jobs pay 8k and good jobs pay 16k a year. It's expected that in 13 years GDP per capita will rise to almost 29k but I'm not so sure. Also it's hard to get married if you don't have a job. China's youth unemployment is close to 20 percent. The size of the problem facing China is gigantic—especially now that its economy appears to be going down the toilet.

Eric, Nicky, and special guest Doug Harmes talk about Mortal Kombat in a fatalistic episode of Press Any Button. Mortal Kombat is the first game in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series by Midway. It was released in arcades in 1992 and was on most consoles by 1994. It centers on the 10th Mortal Kombat tournament and the ultimate defeat of the evil Shang Tsung by the shaolin monk Liu Kang. About us: Press Any Button hosts Nicky (a new gamer) and Eric (a lifetime gamer) are a married couple who both love video games. For every video game they will discuss its past (history of the game, developers story, and fun facts), present (game play, game review and strategy), and future (will there be a sequel?? A movie?) BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE… Every game also comes with a challenge presented by the host that chose the game. If the challenge is not completed then whoever failed has to do a video game rap! So if you want to learn more about video games, hear some nerdy video game raps, or just have a good time this is the podcast for you.
