DVD Reviews of Mortal Kombat I/Mortal Kombat II
DVD Review: "Rally the Extermination Squads and prepare for VIKTORY!"
Summary: 4 Stars
KAUTION: THIS DISK IS PAN & SKAN, NOT WIDESKREEN.
Two inkredibly ekciting, aktion-packed motion piktures on one single-sided, silver-kolored disk would normally warrant a `flawless' five star rating. But, in this most unfortunate kase, I must subtrakt one star due to New Line's mind-bogglingly idiotik decision to use the modified pan & skan versions--which have been `formatted to fit your TV skreen'--instead of the more aesthetikally-pleasing anamorphik wideskreen transfers. Nevertheless, both movies look and sound terrifik, the cover art is pretty kool, and you get two films for the price of one. Each selektion kontains "non-stop martial arts violence," so you _know_ they've _got_ to be good. As Jax might say: "Yeah! Now that's what I'M talkin' `bout!"
The first installment tells the tale of guilt-ridden good guy, Liu Kang, and his quest to avenge his murdered little brother, Chan, by defeating the ruthless, soul-stealing wizard, Shang Tsung (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), in the legendary, once-in-a-generation Mortal Kombat tournament. If the snarling sorcerer and his formidable ninja warriors win just one more tournament, the immortal Emperor of Outworld will be able to enter the realm of earth and end life as we know it. Liu is joined by the delightfully egotistikal movie star, Johnny Cage, and the beautiful but kantankerous policewoman, Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson). Johnny desperately wants to dispel tabloid rumors that he's a fake by proving himself to be the world's greatest martial artist. Sonya desperately wants to track down the one-eyed butcher, Kano, and make him pay for what he did to her partner. But Lord Rayden (Christopher Lambert), the ever-chuckling lightning god, appears in a krackling ball of elektricity to remind the three brave kombatants to fokus on their sakred mission to protekt Earthrealm from a hostile takeover by Outworld. "One of you three will decide the outcome of the tournament," says the jolly, white-robed mystik, "the fate of billions will depend upon you...heh heh heh." Along the way, our heroes must battle such vicious opponents as the ice-slinging Sub-Zero; the whip-wielding Scorpion; the shape-shifting kameleon, Reptile; and the hideous, four-armed behemoth, Prince Goro. Fortunately, the lovely ten-thousand year-old princess, Kitana, is ready with some helpful hints.
The infamous sequel, `Annihilation,' is despised by many movie fans, but I think it's just as entertaining as its predecessor...even if it is kind of korny. MK2 features a kornukopia of kolorful charakters in authentik kostumes and a whole mess of epik, tekno-musik-charged battles straight out of the video game! The plot, inkoherent though it may be, centers around the fiendish emperor, Shao-Kahn (Brian Thompson), who, with a lot of help from his elder god father, Shinnok (no; not `Schnook'), has broken the sakred rules of Mortal Kombat to open the portals between Outworld and Earthrealm and begin a merger of the two. This horrifik process will take six days to komplete, and will inevitably result in the total destruktion of the world of the humans. As the loathsome Shao-Kahn so eloquently puts it, "The earth was created in six days; so too shall it be destroyed. And on the seventh day, mankind will rest in peace!" Luckily, the valiant Liu Kang, the feisty Sonya Blade (this time portrayed by Sandra Hess), and the ever-incredulous Jax Briggs are on the kase. Their mission is to reunite Princess Kitana with her dead mother, Sindel--who has recently been resurrekted by the diabolikal Shao-Kahn, and transformed into the disagreeable skreaming banshee who now leads his Extermination Squads. An uncharakteristikally serious Lord Rayden (now played by James Remar) insists that when Kitana and Sindel are together again, Kahn's vile spell will be broken, Sindel's soul will be at peace, and Outworld's ominous portals will close. So, the intrepid fighters hop in their speedy little velospheres and zoom off to save the world. Can they defeat the likes of Motaro, the horn-headed, lizard-tailed centaur; Sheeva, the unattraktive female version of Goro; Baraka (no; not `Barakabama'), the scythe-fisted, fang-faced terror; and Cyrax, the yellow-armored, bomb-shooting robo-ninja? Maybe...with the quadrupled muskular kapacity of Jax's cybernetik strength-enhancers, and Liu Kang's newly diskovered animality...not to mention Rayden's short hairkut and spiffy little vest. In the immortal words of Major Briggs, "Now I done seen everything!"
If you want two phenomenally fun feature films for one low price, go ahead and grab this disk; but if you're a wideskreen fanatik you should buy these flicks separately even though it's more kostly to do so. Test your might...today!
