Video game movies don’t exactly have the best track records, as most of them just haven’t been very good. “Assassin’s Creed” will look to break the curse this week, but before it does, the folks at Screen Junkies are looking back at two of the most infamous video game movies of all time “Mortal Kombat” and “Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.” As always, the trailer is not only honest, but it’s also hilarious and you can check it out below.
If you would like to compare, you can check out the original trailers below.
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.
