#mk movie 1995

[sketchy-doge1]

he was so cute in this scene i swear,,

So a thing about the OG Mortal Kombat movie is that it seems Liu Kang, Johnny and Sonya are still Raiden's chosen champions, but it seems to be Shang Tsung that gives out the invites. So I like to imagine Shang and Raiden discussing this.

Shang: You're sure about this list?

Raiden: Yep. Pretty sure.

Shang: Johnny Cage?

Raiden: Yep.

Shang: The movie actor?

Raiden: I don't have to explain my reasons to you.

have this first sketch page about mk95 and remixing some of the designs.

1995 Mortal Kombat the movie on VHS Comic Ad

– @allgremlinart on this post

[ID: four photos. The two on the left is Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender as the two on right is Prince Goro from Mortal Kombat. Zuko is a skinny, kinda sickly looking young man with a shaven head apart from a tall ponytail of dark hair. He's in a fighting position in both photos, with one hand stretched out in front of him to soon firebend. Goro is a muscular Shokan (half human, half dragon) and is over eight feet tall and 550 pounds. He has four arms, two on each side, and is bare chested. He's bald apart from his high ponytail which looks strikingly similar to Zuko's. He's been edited to be in front of a similar background color as the Zuko photos. END ID]

[matchbet-allofthetime]

Something about MK 1995 I love so deeply is that when Sonya meets Shang Tsung on his boat, he's in the blue shadows and he greets her with a small smile

And he dips his head and closes his eyes in the cutest, most handsome, endearing way and it gets my heart in knots every single time 😭💚

And now.....ladies,gentlemen,nb pals n gals,my fellow shang tsimps. It is time. For the best iteration of shang tsung.

The 1995 mortal kombat movie shang tsung!!!!!! *intense incoherent screams of joy*

🥺💖🥰😫💕

❤🐉💚🐍💀❤🐉💚🐍💀❤🐉💚🐍💀❤🐉

Ok look some things in the 95 movie is dated,stinky,and omfg why did they do that?! Buuuuuuuut. BUT! i still feel it holds up and truly captured the essence of mortal kombat. And not many other versions. Can hold up. Not counting any games. Other mk media outside the games. Very few come close. Because it's that fucking iconic. If it wasn't for this movie. We wouldn't have a bop fire of a fucking theme song. No guy screaming viciously "MORTAL KOMBAT!!!" No amazing reappearance of tagawa shang tsung. No mk11. Hell no futher games. It would have faded into obscurity. So the success of this movie. Laid the foundation of future games,and mk media. So pay your fucking respects! *stares intensely at 21 movies jaxs actor for dissing raidens actor in the 95 for no fucking real reason because he wanted 15min of fame,not even talking about how game devs have been racist to his own character jax,guys just dumb to me fr. Sorry i dont like him,his attitude sucks* (srry bout that but tho the 21 movie reboot is bland the actors were ok. Cept jaxs actor. He sucks but mostly cuz his attitude. Sorry i dont like people like that. But this ain't bout him)

Anyways. Shang tsung in the 95 movie (aside from the cringe af 90s villain i have to simp after the only girl character in the roster cuz kitana is just exposition. Ugh. God that's fucking awful. And also ooc. But whatever its the 90s.) shang tsung is boss af here.

Bending the rules. Being such a gracious host. Sassy,sexy,suave,powerful.

Like god damn shang is there anything you can't do?!

.....well.....besides having a hard time taking down one shaolin bromie,liu kang. Oof. But that's besides the point.

(Then again liu has always had plot armor and script convenience to him. Thats another oof.)

But yes. The 95 movie shang. Go watch it. Ignore the cringe shit with sonya. Ignore the dated cgi. And ignore the 90s cheese(or dont if thats your thing) but please for the love of god dont sleep on this damn movie. Dont sleep on 95 shang tsung. Pay you fucking dues!

💀🐉❤🐍💚💀🐉❤🐍💚💀🐉❤🐍💚💀🐉

Well fellow simps thats all the shang appreciation posts for today. I might do more kontent later. Enjoy

Mortal Kombat (C), 1995 New Line Cinema

hate to break it to you, but liu kang and kung lao are actually cousins. i enjoy your art a lot and scrolling through your blog, so seeing you and your friends support liulao makes me concerned. i hope you understand and are mindful about what you ship going forward <:(

I sense some condescension, anon, but since text messaging cannot accurately convey tone, I’ll take this as a genuine warning. Thank you for your concern, but do not worry, I’m old enough to be mindful about my ships and I do my research, since I have no interest in shipping relatives in any media, and it CAN be tricky with the universe as complex and lore heavy as mk.

With that being said, here’s where you are wrong, anon. Liu Kang and Kung Lao are canonically NOT related – at least the versions of them that people ship.

Just a week ago, lovely user rasta-bot covered the “cousins issue”, you can check this post or I’ll just repeat the main idea here. They were only made cousins in the original 1995 movie because this specific universe (and by extension MK Conquests universe since it's a prequel to the movies) has Liu Kang as the Great Kung Lao's descendant as well. However, this is what the mk co-creator and Lore God™ John Tobias said about this change:

In no other game Liu Kang was the descendant of GKL or Lao’s relative. In the original (and prev) timeline he was an orphan, raised by Shaolin monks.

And if you are referring to the 2021 movie, alas, you’d be wrong again. In the movie Liu Kang has no family, he tells Cole about his past, but people love to refer to the scene with a translation error. The mistake was pointed out by several native speakers online, but everyone can easily check it by themselves, even if they are not familiar with the language, just by doing a quick google search. This took me 2 minutes:

1. Turn on the Chinese subtitles.

2. Look at the first results of “師兄 meaning” goggle search.

source: chinese.yabla.com

source: hinative.com

It is totally fine if you don’t feel like shipping these two, you have all the right - everybody has different preferences. I also don’t like certain ship dynamics even if they are “legal” in any way. 😁 But I never encountered liulao shippers who would endorse inсеst, and it’s sad to see how this confusion nearly becomes a witch hunt, scaring and demotivating artists and writers.

The difference between movie Raiden and game Raiden is that movie would do a kick flip on your kitchen island and game wouldn't know what a skateboard even was.

The difference between movie Johnny and game Johnny is movie has a braincell and game would do a kickflip on your kitchen island.

The difference between movie Liu and game Liu is that movie would do a kickflip on your kitchen island out of spite and game would do a kickflip on your kitchen island because he thinks it's cool.

The difference between movie Sonya and game Sonya is movie Sonya would probably be able to be convinced to do a kickflip on your kitchen island and game will give you dirty looks if you tried.

The difference between movie Kitana and game Kitana is movie would criticise you for doing a kickflip on a kitchen island and game doesn't know what a skateboard is.

An MK Au where everything is normal except Kitana is a villain

I mostly incorporated many elements of Kitana's other designs such as MK1, MK9, and her 1995 movie outfits. It tried to make it simple yet detailed.

Some MK1 thoughts

Since Mortal Kombat 1 cutscenes are now available on YouTube (and me watching it up to 4 a.m.), here some thoughts under cut:

This is the most pro-Mileena game and I’m glad for the girl to finally have supportive family and friends. Generally I’m very touched how much the Edenian female cast was bonded with each other, that Li Mei and Sindel turned out to be the best friends, Tanya and Mileena were in happy relationship (as much as it could be due to Umgadi laws), Mileena and Kitana for once did not need to fight for throne. Good stuff.

However, the game that advertises itself with “Fight through a brand new story featuring your favorite Mortal Kombat characters like you’ve never seen them before” can’t apparently give us a storyline in which Bi-Han & Kuai Liang are from start to (bitter) end brothers in every sense of the word. I guess, it is my own fault for hoping too much but the frustrating disappointment stings double so, because Mileena and Kitana got their happy family. And look, I don’t mind Bi-Han being so done with everyone and everything and wanting to combat / challenge authority of others while not caring much for Liu Kang’s godly status and all, but is that really so much to ask for having at least one game he is on brother’s side to the bitter end? I’m not even asking for a story to keep Bi-Han relevant to the final chapter, just him being (sort of) a good brother. 

I know I was foolish, but the plot twist of Lin Kuei only playing the thugs to test Kung Lao and Raiden from first chapter raised my hopes - supported a bit by the fact that Bi-Han was jerk to Smoke only to few scenes later asking both Kuai Liang and Tomas are they unharmed after he defeated Nitara. Because the Sub-Zero chapter (Band of Brothers!) was the best for another plot twist. We could have Bi-Han playing the role of a traitor so he and Kuai Liang could learn more about enemy’s true goal / weapon and if game creators didn’t want keep Bi-Han in the story (or couldn’t give him anything relevant to do in later chapters) they could kill him and I’m glad they didn’t or capture him or whatever. Like I said, I don’t need heroic Bi-Han per se, just him and Kuai Liang having the brotherhood we hear about since the original series. It is about damn time!

On another note, Sektor being loyal to Bi-Han and being shown in the Sub-Zero ending was such a nice addition. Though I’m still mad, that brothers are divided into Kuai Liang & Tomas vs Bi-Han & Sektor/Lin Kuei. The Lin Kuei storyline did not impress me at all.

At least, in the final fight between good and evil timelines, there is plenty version of Bi-Han and the fact that game allows the player to choose the character on their own (including Sub-Zero) warmed my heart so much ❤

I’m surprised in a good way by Johnny Cage, he was witty and great, but I’m truly touched how helpful and nice he was to some characters (and is it me, or did this Johnny felt so much like Johnny from MK movie 1995?). Him and Kenshi was pretty funny interaction but also him inviting Syzoth and Ashrah to come with them to Earthrealm AND THEN STAYING WITH THEM WHEN THE REST OF TEAM ALREADY WENT TO REST TO PROPERLY INTRODUCE THOSE TWO TO LIU KANG that is, this is the best of Johnny and I love they keep showing him like that ❤

And of course, Shang Tsung ❤ Though I do not understand why Shao Kahn was allowed to be Outworld general while Shang Tsung was given such a pitiful life? Sure, he is dangerous and all, but I would argue who was the worst person in previous lifes. Anyway, every time Shang Tsung works for the good guys, it is frankly my favorite thing. 

In general, the game looks gorgeous, the characters are cool, though I would love for some to have more screen time and some, like Bi-Han, to actually have a proper, meaningless relationship and part in the story. But I guess, Bi-Han is just fated to doom since the first game…. nothing new.
