Well this is a sentence I’ve been wanting to write for some time now. There will be a third Mortal Kombat movie. So confirmed the actor who played Scorpion in both Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon.
Yup, according to Chris Casamassa, filming will begin in September.
Casamassa is now 44 years old, meaning that he was a spritely 30 years old when he was fighting Johnny Cage in The Living Forest in Mortal Kombat.
Now, I haven’t seen the original movie for a few years now, but I have memories of it not being a piece of junk. That is to say I remember it being halfway decent, as far as silly action movies go.
The second movie, on the other hand, was rubbish. I knew that when I saw it in the theaters in 1997.
Finger’s crossed!
(Shame the franchise has gone to dust since 1995, though.)
I’ll be honest – I actually liked the first movie too. I haven’t seen it in a few years either, but as far as those movies go, I think it would probably stand up. Plus it had Christopher Lambert. And Veronica Vaughn, if I remember correctly.
I saw a few minutes of the second one on TV one time and turned it right now. Wasn’t even one of those “good-bad” movies it was so bad.
Woops, “turned it right off”.
I have to wonder. Does anyone give a damn about Mortal Kombat anymore? When the first game came out, I thought it was the shit, but that was nearly twenty years ago.
I thought people gave up on MK years ago.
Isn’t this the equivalent of Rick Schroder telling everyone that they’re doing a Silver Spoons reunion just in hopes that maybe someone will pickup on the idea and he’ll get some work?
I hope the movie effects will be on the leave of the Matrix or Transformers.
The original MK is a nice “guilty pleasure”. A movie that has plenty of weaknesses, but who cares?
The 2nd one just reeked. Putrid. Gawdawful.
fuckkkkkkkkk all of yall who hate on mortal kombat that is my shit im 36 years of age and till this day i play the games i know every charcter so fuckk off niggass.
