MOVIE
Movie translations of popular video games have had a notorously bad rap. And in most cases, they deserve it. Mortal Kombat was one that kinda deserved it, but not really. Weak on plot, strong on action. At least it was faithful to the game series that way. Anyway, Shang is about to be able to take over the Earth because the Earth has had a bunch of losers entered into the martial arts expo of the multiverse. Once we loose this one it's over. So some people get aboard a titanic piece of junk and so to join the "best" fighters of anywhere. I'm sure most people out there that happen to read these logs have seen this partcular movie, so there's really no reason for me to go into further detail about it. Whatever.

"This is where you fall down."
"Your side show freaks attacked my fighters"
"You will never escape from the pits of dispair..."
"When a woman looks at you like that, it usually means something."
"It's not her mind you're admiring"
"She said she was 19!"
"I smell something."
"Allo baby, did you miss me?"
"You imbecile."
