Mortal Kombat: The Movie?

Yeah i went and watched all the video games Movies in the threaters in the early 90's

Did they do a Mortal Kombat movie in the 90's? This link is to a trailer that was released yesterday. There's some questions on ArsTechnica as to whether it's for a new game or for an actual movie... Jeri Ryan is in it, so it's probably not just some fan film thing...
 
Huh. Jeri Ryan's wikipedia entry shows "Mortal Kombat: Rebirth" as a 2010 movie, so I guess there's another on the way...
 
Well the special effects are much better than the early films but something tells me this one will suck as bad as the previous films.
 
According to what I've read on it... it's NOT a done-deal. This is a "test" to see the reception... IMDB has no info on it either...
 
First off, let me just clarify my stance on the first 2 movies. I saw the first one at least 3 different times(maybe 4). I think it stands as one of the best video game adaptations to a movie ever. Of course that isn't really difficult considering the competition was SMB, double dragaon, and Street Fighter. It did come out prior to Resident Evil. That being said, I think the second movie may very well be the worst piece of drek to ever grace a silver screen that has anything to do with a video game.

As for this new one, it looks too edgy. You know what I mean. How every movie nowadays has to act like Batman Begins. Admittedly that was a great movie and a pretty good sequel. But not everyone has to talk with a raspy voice and and every scene has to look like it takes place in an inner city shitter. But I digress. We'll just have to wait and see. As for me, I'll keep looking for a copy of Mortal Kombat on Laserdisc with DTS surround sound. Why.......Cause that's just how I roll baby. :)
 
The first Mortal Kombar movie is available as an Instant Play movie through Netflix, if anyone is interested. Its really a decent action flick, considering the storyline they had to work with.
 
I think its fucking sick someone would use such a sad disease and make a character out of it, I hope they burn in hell because the little guys that have the disease are not monsters at all and cant help they was born like that. My other thoughts......I loved the first Mortal Kombat movie and this doesn't seem nothing like I would want to watch but then again Ill end up watching it
 
i loved the first mortal kombat, and yes the second one was so freaking cheesy and lame it was horrible. I mean Motaro seriously sounds like the lion that roars at the beginning of the MGM movies. ugh..........
 
new movie doesnt look bad at all, number one rule to make a good video game movie, or movie video game, follow the original story etc a loosely as possible
 
If they were smart they would make the first movie a build up movie of the characters etc then the 2nd one being the tournament. Of course it's a gamble because the original actors may not come back for a 2nd as this movie wouldnt have a budget big enough to sign them for 2.

Call me crazy but the movie trailer reminds me alot of saw/7 put together.

You have a point but there are TONS of movies out there based off diseases that portray them as vicious. Freddy Krueger and Jason are big time examples of that! :D
