As live-action video game movies began their slow rollout in the early '90s, Mortal Kombat arrived last—but with the hindsight of how its predecessors had failed. And though it lacked the outright gore of its video game source material, this adaptation managed to stay faithful to everything else that made the fighting game series a phenomenon. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey and Henry Gilbert as they chat their way through this martial arts gem of the mid-90s. (We'd say GET OVER HERE but you were thoughtful enough to show up on your own.)
Note: Commentary begins at 00:19, when "New Line Cinema Presents" has fully faded in on the screen.
