It never clicked for me until now that dragons are just fire-breathing cats

Wait, no… Why are they more like dogs in this one?

Now this is what I’m fucking talking about. Dialogue is kept to the absolute minimum and fights actually feel like they’re from the game.

**Watched in preparation for [Mortal Kombat 2](https://boxd.it/ehuNgx) tonight.** I vaguely remember watching Mortal Kombat (1995) when I was a kid. My dad loved martial arts movies so we often watched them together. I don't actually know if the original MK movie is much of a martial arts movie but I do remember enjoying it. Probably cause of all of the silly shit in thje movie. This itteration of MK also has *some* silly shit. But unfortunately not enough. It's not enough to have characters say "flawless victory" and "fatality". There is a dude who grew metal arms and an australian who shoots lasers from his eyes. Embrace the goofiness.
