Member Agent U Posted May 5, 2023 Member Share Posted May 5, 2023 I remember watching the first film and not liking it much. Wasn't Lewis Tan's character Johnny Cage but under a different name? I'm probably mixing something up, or just remember it wrong. Anyway, Karl Urban looks about as off as Johnny Cage as Danny DeVito would. Does he know martial arts at least? If not, more fights shot at weird angles and lots of editing to hide it's a stuntsman incoming then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member LoBo Posted May 5, 2023 Member Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) They may get away with. I remember him doing decent fight scenes in Doom and Priest. Perhaps Red too. I don't remember so much about the fight scenes Edited May 6, 2023 by LoBo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted May 22, 2023 Member Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Jade is set to be in the sequel too. Tati Gabrielle will be playing the role. She was the main villain in Uncharted. The film is being shot in Queensland this time instead of Adelaide. https://www.darkhorizons.com/mortal-kombat-2-moves-to-queensland/ Edited May 22, 2023 by AlbertV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member legendarycurry Posted June 15, 2023 Member Share Posted June 15, 2023 If this is 10 times better than the 2021 one it will still be the worst movie of the year it comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted June 15, 2023 Member Share Posted June 15, 2023 Desmond Chiam will play King Jerrod Ana Thu Nguyen will play Sindel Damon Herriman will play Quan Chi.

Member AlbertV Posted June 23, 2023 Member Share Posted June 23, 2023 Shooting began today and interesting story about Martyn Ford being banned from a pub because of his tattoos https://7news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/mortal-kombat-2-actor-martyn-ford-refused-entry-to-gold-coast-pub-burleigh-pavilion-over-tattoos-c-11045818.amp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted June 27, 2023 Member Share Posted June 27, 2023 Baraka is also going to be in the film, but it is unclear if they are going with the Mo-cap route or do an actor with full make-up. Former kickboxing champion turned stuntman Dennis Keiffer played Baraka in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Agent U Posted July 21, 2023 Member Share Posted July 21, 2023 The strike has halted the shooting. Interestingly, I've recently come across someone who argued there is no problem Karl Urban is not a pretty boy like Johnny Cage, because that's what make-up and special effects are for, and they could even deage him digitally if need be, nor that he's not a martial artist, can't fight or do the splits, because they've got stuntsmen and CGI can take care of all that now anyway... And then people act shocked when greedy execs want to simply take actors' likeness and let AI do everything... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Agent U Posted July 24, 2023 Member Share Posted July 24, 2023 If 1995 Mortal Kombat is not the best videogame movie adaptation ever, it is at least the best one I've seen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the theme is a banger. Though I think Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist is the best video game adaptation.

Well, I haven't seen that one, so we can both be right 😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
