The definition of AWESOME. Without this and Enter the Dragon we'd have no Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat!!


Exactly. It is beyond obvious that this was one of the inspirations behind both games.

This made me really nostalgic. Not just the pixel art, but the music too.

Playing the SNES in a video game haze to a background of melancholic 90's rock, buoyant punk and grunge apathy; smoking too much; drinking cheap beer and vodka (and whatever else we could get our hands on).

Waking up on an old sofa chair bathed in dimly flashing colours and quiet, looping chip music.

Super Metroid; Prince of Persia; A Link to the Past; Secret of Mana; Mortal Kombat and Super Mario Kart.

Spider-Man and Wolverine comics, and Kerrang! on the floor.

And an otherwise, abject poverty.


Seems like another life now.

The larger problem, story-wise, is why Big Pun ignores the beating/implied rape of the unusually attractive prostie. She could have been killed while he sat on his ass.

#1 I HATE the fake camera shake. We all know this shit is done on dollys and steady cam out the ass, then to make it look like..frankly I have no idea why they inject camera shake, I don't want to see how Michael j. Fox see's the movie. .
#2 this bad guy seems to make everyone his target.. even little kids.. so why is he still alive? He is CLEARLY dumber then a stump and is lowest on the totem pole, some other punk would have put a bullet in him long ago.
#3 Our hero guy strolls in and really does not care...yet has the means to kill every single one of them in less then 10 seconds and some how eventually finds the will too. God damn this is 5th grade writing.
#4 oh my god.. the special effects... is this supposed to be gritty real life.. or mortal freaking kombat? It looks like that 5th grader also had a say in where blood was placed... cause he said EVERYWHERE!

Well first of all this is an amateur fan film with no budget. Second of all, can't you just enjoy a good, over-the-top short film without dissecting it like a art-house film critic with a shitty blog?

Well, that looks hilarious. Reminds me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Quick_and_the_Dead_(1995_film) but mixed with mortal kombat. Good times.

Awesome! This just made me happy


Yeah me too. I LOLed at work during my lunch break. I hope they do more! Maybe they will do Tekken?

I like the luchadore mask on Bane though. Kinda disappointed Nolan has gone with a Mortal Kombat looking design from the advance photos.

Thought I would put it on a plate at your door step.

Who owns Jason from Friday the 13th? Because we might then be able to finally answer one of the most pressing of my childhood questions.


Really? Because I thought that was answered already.

Looks kinda lame and unpolished. Typical Unreal Engine ugliness abound. Why won't that stinking pile just go the fuck away and stop snaking its way into games I might otherwise want to play?

Oh please. DNF may use Unreal, but the renderer is a custom rewrite. You would never have noticed "Unreal ugliness" if you didn't know it was Unreal. Are you honestly saying Mortal Kombat 2011 looks ugly? Batman Arkham Asylum looks ugly? Are you saying this looks ugly:

Unreal only looks as bad as what the artists are capable of, and the newer versions of the engine are looking... unreal.


Actually, I'm not sure you know what I mean. The way the game looks is what prompted me to check if my assumptions were correct. I didn't know it used UE until I looked it up prior to that post, and the way everything is shiny, like it has plastic wrap on it is one such aspect to which I refer.

I don't like the engine because it tends (in my experience) to not be very robust and has several issues which always seem to nag at me no matter what game it is that uses it. Epic endorses NVIDIA, because they give Epic lots of money to do so, likely. As a result, they aren't as friendly to ATI (AMD) cards. It's possiboe it was the cards I was using, but other games never exhibited the same behaviors on ATI and not NVIDIA as UE games did. One such issue would be vsync seeming to behave incorrectly on ATI.

Oh, and don't even get me started on anti-aliasing... what the fuck modern game these days doesn't support AA? Oh, right. UE games. And if you manage to get it working by forcing it in your drivers, (doesn't always work, especially on ATI), then you get a much higher framerate hit than you should. Other engines handle it just fine, but for some reason, UE has a very hard time with AA, even on extremely powerful cards. Shitty engine.
