MORTAL KOMBAT
A film review by Jack Forrest
Copyright 1995 Jack Forrest
Starring Christopher Lambert as Rayden and Bridget Wilson as Sonya Blade
A wicked sorcerer named Shang Tsung has been holding tournaments called "Mortal Kombat" for nine generations. Everytime one of the contenders dies at the hands of his combatants he can take their soul. He needs a great number of souls from great warriors to open the portal between the earth realm and the dark realm so Shao Kahn, the Emperor of the dark realm, can come to this dimension. Shao Kahn gave Shang Tsung Goro, a Monster Prince, to be his champion. Goro was unstoppable because of his bronze skin, being eight feet tall, having four arms and being immensely strong. The main contenders are Liu Kang who is seeking revenge on Shang for killing his brother, Sonya Blade who is trying to capture Kano, Kano who is working for Shang Tsung, Johnny Cage who is trying to prove he is an amazing martial artist not a phony actor, Sub-Zero who is working for Shang Tsung, Scorpion who is working for Shang Tsung and hates Sub-Zero, and princess Kitana who is the princess of the outworld.
