Mortal Kombat (1990)
Mortal Kombat Quote: “You weak, pathetic fools, I’ve come for your souls!” – Shao Kahn
Before you watch the 2021 remake of “Mortal Kombat,” test your might (and intestinal fortitude) with the 1995 original.
The Shat Crew settles all the big Mortal Kombat questions: Is Scorpion better than Sub Zero? What exactly are the tournament rules? Where did they find these costumes? And is there tea bagging in Outworld?
While Ash praises the thumping soundtrack, Gene gripes about the laughable martial arts, and Big D searches in vain for justice. We also talk trust falls, Christopher Lambert, and cartwheels.
Discover how Cameron Diaz dodged a bullet, why nobody should be afraid of Goro, and who the hell Art is in this special edition commissioned by our Shappy Hour viewers.
Plot Summary: “Mortal Kombat” Lord Rayden (Christopher Lambert) handpicks three martial artists — federal agent Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson), Shaolin monk Lui Kang (Robin Shou), and action movie sensation Johnny Cage (Linden Ashby) — and mentors them. After intense training, Rayden transports the trio to Outworld, the site of an inter-dimensional fighting tournament. There, the three humans must defeat the demonic warriors of the evil Shang Sung (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) — or allow Sung to take over the Earth.
