10 Things Wrong With Mortal Kombat: Annihilation |
|
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is a 1997 American martial arts fantasy film directed by John R. Leonetti. A sequel to the 1995 film Mortal Kombat is the second instalment in the Mortal Kombat film series, based on the video game series Mortal Kombat by Midway Games.
It stars Robin Shou, Talisa Soto, Brian Thompson, Sandra Hess, Lynn "Red" Williams, Irina Pantaeva, Marjean Holden, Musetta Vander, and James Remar. Although the story picks up immediately when the last film ended, all the roles were recast, except for Shou and Soto. The film's storyline is mostly an adaptation of the fighting game Mortal Kombat 3. In the movie, Shao Kahn, ruler of Outworld, decides to take the Earthrealm by force after his minions fail to win a tenth straight tournament in the previous film. He initiates a merger between the two realms, blatantly ignoring the Elder Gods' rules and forcing Liu Kang and his allies to act quickly before the realm is consumed in the next six days. Annihilation has been near-universally panned by both fans and critics, resulting in a third film being cancelled. So allow me Berryman 81 to pick out 10 things of many and talk about 10 Things Wrong With Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.
