Mortal Kombat Gets Its Own Film-Cracking Honest Trailer

A new Mortal Kombat Honest Trailer is out.

Screen Junkies posted a new Honest Trailer for Mortal Kombat and all of the films the franchise yesterday in an attempt to ready gamers for the Assassin Creed film adaptation by Ubisoft. Most often than not, videogame movie adaptations don't do really well in the film industry, packing in the corniest lines and the tackiest situations. NetherRealm Studios gory fighting game's film adaptations are no different, and the new Mortal Kombat Honest Trial gets down to it and makes fun of the kookiest parts of the film.

"Meet a sprawling cast of fighters who can't act, actors who can't fight and people who can't really do either," the Honest Trailers narrator speaks in the video.

Filled with too many rules, awkward recasts and terrible CGI, the Mortal Kombat film adaptations give the Screen Junkies a lot to make fun of as the humour channel continually pokes at the kinks of the movies.

However, despite all of its flaws, Mortal Kombat fans still defend the videogame adaptations saying that a lot of people enjoyed the films nonetheless with a few insisting that the 1994 Mortal Kombat 1 film was one of the most solid videogame movie adaptations of its time.

"Robin (Shou) would rate the fights," director Paul W.S. Anderson revealed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "They would be a one, a two or a three. That would refer to how many ribs he bruised when he did the fight. The Reptile fight was a three-rib fight, so he really felt like he'd delivered for me. I remember Linden Ashby [Johnny Cage] as well. He was eating Advil like they were M&M'S. We just kicked the hell out of him during that fight. I remember him coming off set going, 'I've never been in so much pain in my life.' And I'm like 'How many ribs have you broken? Robin's broken three!'"
