The first MK movie was the archetypal “It’s good… for a video game adaptation” movie for a long time. Luckily now we have great adaptations (not necessarily movies though) to point to that stand on their own merits.
But yeah, there’s always a part of me that will have fond memories of MK and the JCVD Street Fighter movie. Hell, add Double Dragon to that list.
Everything about it is terrible, but it’s saved by Raul Julia in the same way that Tim Curry saves the Three Musketeers and Alan Rickman saves Robin Hood.
A classically trained actor treating the whole thing like a pantomime. It’s glorious.
The OG Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter movies are dope. I don’t care what anyone else says.

I don’t think I’ve seen the Street Fighter movie, but Mortal Kombat rocks.
Raul Julia is SO GOOD in it. Campy as hell.
Street Fighter is far superior.
