You shut your mouth! Street Fighter was incredible, Raul Julia absolutely saved that movie.
Raul Julia was the only thing good about the movie. Its still trash.

Rain only got 30 seconds of screen time before getting killed. Kabal and Stryker only got a mention since they couldn't fit them in the movie.

I feel like on one hand, script changes and editing filled the plot with holes and that kind of sucks.

But on the other hand, the movie is way more fun to watch because it's a dumpster fire with a hundred dropped plots and inconsistencies.

I would like to imagine that Shang Tsung himself did it. When he is not draining the souls of of people he murders, he is pursuing his one true passion; hair stylist!

Take her to my salon immediately so that I may volumize her hair.

*Pulls out weird looking leather dress*

This will look cute.

As a dumb kid all the lore they fudged up confused me, like them saying Shao Kahn and Raiden were brothers. And that dude in Annihilation that played Kahns father was supposed to be freaking Shinnok lmao.

Smoke also shot missles out of his chest, even though anybody whose played MK3 can tell you that's Sektor

Sonya barely won against Kano and that's partially due to Shang Tsung putting handicaps in her favor during the tournament. If she fought reptile in Outworld with no referees or backup the she would've gotten fucked up, way before reptile can transform.

I was born in the wrong time ( at least for hair) everything else not so much. But I would have loved to have rocked Lionel Richie Curl. Like he was in Hello. However coming up beside corn rolls and plain locks black men couldn't do shit without hair. And locks and rolls would get you labeled my a ton of people . So it was Caser, fade or something close to that. Now these cats can do all types of stuff with there hair. Like the time I lived in was just so boring for black hair. (at last in the South.

What's stopping you bro? The mullet is back for white people.. Get your Lionel Richie on and reignite the trend.

I think it's a good look tbh.

I looked into replacements that are a lot of money. If you still have hair you can take stuff now to save it.

Also Hug back. I needed that tonight for other reason lol .

The first Mortal Kombat film was always shit, and Ive never understood why so many people hold it up as an example of films based on games being good.

Shang Tsung was good, but everything else about it ranged from mediocre to poor. The casting for Cage and Sonya were particularly bad.
It wasn't a good movie sure but it was ok, had a killer soundtrack, and great fight choreography. Also the special effects around Goro were great for the time.

The original MK was pretty decent. My one gripe -- and it's a big one -- is that they misused Goro.

Like, I don't care how badly the animatronics were malfunctioning. Have Johnny Cage throw himself against the wall with Goro off-screen. There was no excuse for building Goro up like a mystical Mike Tyson only to have him go down without getting any offense.

Tbf he totally destroyed some other dudes. Just not Johnny Cage.

I was doing rogaine for a bit but I am so inconsistent with it that it never worked.

And yeah plugs are sooo expensive. I'm just trying to roll with the concept that I'll look more masculine with a shaved head.

:/ I hope all is well bro.
