My thoughts
A great movie. No real actors were used. Just stuntmen and martial artists and they did a good job. The director and the actors really tried to make some character development, instead of non-stop action. The action itself was great. No wires, or attributes. Just real stuntmen and real stunts. The only bad things sometimes were the camarawork and the editing.
However, many of the fights were nothing new, but the end-fight between Ho Sung and Ho Young was great!!!!!
Trivia: *)Ho Sung Pak teamed up with former collegues and co-Mortal Kombat 2 video game actors: Richard 'Kano, Baraka' Divizio, Katalin 'Kitana, Mileena, Jade' Zamiar and Danny 'Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, Smoke, Noob Saibot' Pesina. *)Production begain in 1997. It was not finished and released until 2004. |
