I had it on VHS. I actually liked it.

It sucked.

It sucks that in all these years there's only been one legit good video game movie.

The Neo Geo fighter based on this was awesome.

>>3186291
DOA was great too in a campy sort of way.
>>
>>3186279
The thing I remember about this is that I liked it as a kid. I don't know how the acting and screenplay and whatever else would hold up today. It might be godawful.

I want to watch it again, but can't find HD rips for it...

>>3186291
That's possibly because the entire game itself was designed as a hong kong action movie starring Bruce Lee and Jean-Claude Van Damme.

>>3186310
Yeah but the MK Movie is not just campy good but legit good. About the only complaint I have is that some characters could have been fleshed out more. But that would have ruined the pacing of the fights - movie is supposed to be about a fighting tournament.

Oh and the fight scenes could've used less camera cutting to make them look more professional. Keep extensive cutting to the special effects only, like they did (Scorpions finisher looks so good, genuinely shocking and menacing).

But for a video game movie? MK is light years ahead of every other one made.
>>
>>3186310
I should check that out maybe. MK was also campy as hell, but it all worked somehow. Partly not pulling punches. I don't think that Sonya/Kano fight could make it into a movie in 2016. Then they forgot everything they did right and made Annihilation.

Silent Hill took a bit of a different direction but was surprisingly good.
>>
>>3186362
The execution was great, but the core narrative was pretty weak. I think it averages out to just an average-quality movie.

I'll also say that the Super Mario Bros movie is pretty bad, but I find that I can enjoy it for its goofiness, plus Dennis Hopper and Bob Hoskins (bless their souls).

I pumped more of my pocket money into this arcade game than I can possibly count.

Never seen the film though. I remember the trailer featuring Robert Patrick. Fuck me, he must have been struggling post T2.

>>3186291

I'm glad Linden Ashby's career is finally picking up lately, he made this fucking movie.

You're not missing much.

For what its worth, he replaced David Duchovny for the last few seasons of the X-Files.
>>
>>3186362
God no. It looked good but the execution ranged from mediocre to retarded.
>>
>>3187246
Yeah, I was glad he was saved from obscurity by landing the role of Doggett.

I see he's slumming it in that awful Scorpion show now. But at least he's still got a meal ticket.

It always annoyed how all three Double Dragon adaptations (the comic, the cartoon and the movie) got the games all the wrong. Even the Street Fighter movie with JCVD and Raul Julia had some vague resemblance to the games.

Kano was a lucky guy on that pic.

Mortal Kombat sure as shit is not "legit good".

It's good cheesy fun, but nobody in their right mind would call it a legitimately good film.

I refuse to recognize that iteration of the show.

The whole movie should have just had that opening scene, then the rest of the movie the 2 guys just beating the shit out of a bunch of people until the ending

Oh fuck yeah. Got a 'big' surprise. One of the best God Damn movies dropped

Mac why are you always obsessed with men's physiques?

It wasn't that good, but it was better than the Double Dragon cartoon.

.....you sure they aren't actually dudes who live in a post apocalyptic world beating up people with mystic martial arts only passed down by master to disciple that involves a lot of loud noise making?

You guys just described the plot of District B13. Go watch that instead. Don't bother with the American remake though.

Iron Chef was pretty good looking back then. I would have never known.
>>
>>3188937
Wasn't he in the Crow TV series too?
>>
>>3188943
I never watched that.

btw completely forgot about Drive (1998). Literally Rush Hour before Rush Hour.
>>
>>3187351
Do you think he can still do martial arts?
>>
>>3188325
Holly shit those blonds look fucking horrible. The chick playing Kasumi looks ok though. Also looks the part pretty well too.
>>
>>3187883

I thought that movie was neat when I saw it back then.
>>
>>3188960
He was in that one Kamen Rider remake not long ago.
>>
>>3188979
that twisting punch with two hands think he does at the end is fucking awesome looking. There needs to be more of this now days.
>>
>>3188943
Yes

>>3188951
>Literally Rush Hour before Rush Hour.
Drive was written to be Jackie Chan's first American movie, co-starring Sylvester Stallone iirc.
>>
>>3186279

Yeah, I watch Red Letter Media too OP.
>>
>>3188996

Completely agree.
>>

Who's that?

The guys who did those Star Wars Plinkett reviews.
>>
>>3186952
the Super Mario Bros movie kicked ass as long as you weren't anal about it not being a happy trippy super magical mushroom land.

And if you are, then perhaps you should consider Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas as a better super mario bros movie.
>>
>>3188974
>The chick playing Kasumi looks ok though. Also looks the part pretty well too.

Of course she does, all asians look the same.

My favorite part of this movie is that Andy Dick plays Andy Dick.

That movie is the reason they gave Kano an Australian accent in the more recent games.
