a5c7b9f00b Detective Jackson Briggs recruits the assassin Hanzo Hasachi into an undercover mission - enter an illegal tournament and eliminate all its criminal participants. I remember the original Mortal Kombat video game. Back in the early 90&#39;s it was immensely violent and supernatural. It was the first video game where the characters had true to life faces (so when a head was being ripped off it felt real and intensified the violence). These two themes (violence and the supernatural) have been a constant in every video game, movie or TV series with the MK title over the last &gt;20 years.&lt; In fact these two themes are what a lot of people identify MK with. Without them Mortal Kombat loses its identity (Van Dam in Street fighter anyone –i know, i know this one doesn&#39;t suck b***s).<br/><br/>Actually Ed Boon and John Tobias the creators of Mortal Kombat weren&#39;t involved in these shorts. But if Kevin Tancharoen is successful in his bid to be the next director of MK they will be apparently, so I hope they ad in all the traditional elements. <br/><br/>Good short, Im hoping next they can re-do xmen and instead of bone claws wolverine can have knives stitched to his hands and a bipolar disorder to make it more &#39;true to life&#39; and &#39;real&#39; ;) I wasn&#39;t sure what to expect when I first saw this but I have to say that eight minutes later when I was done, I was really impressed. This small piece gathers everything that should be expected from a game adaptation, even if we&#39;re speaking about a more somewhat alternative universe. The effects are quite good and the plot is really interesting. It&#39;s to bad we don&#39;t actually have a bigger movie after this that would follow the plot on this short one.
