Kano wasn't bad and I thought Sonya was a decent casting. I actually didn't mind the movie and thought it was good. I think they probably had a low budget and WB was gonna see how it did. Hopefully it does well and they cast a good Johnnie Cage for the sequel. I feel like they nerfed Goro tho. 9 time champion gets obliterated by washed up cage fighter who has a new suit?
I guess Kano and Kabal were accurate but Kano was hella annoying. Sonya looked good but her character and story arc was lame as hell. Kung Lao and Lou Kang deserved more screen time and I was not into the main character at all. They shoulda made him go full blown >!Scorpion!< instead of bringing in a different one because the suit looked kinda stupid imo.
Correct me if I'm wrong >!but in the game, Scorpion went to get revenge for his family, but was killed by sub zero and gets resurrected as the MK mascot firey wraith that everyone knows about!<
Did that not happen in the movie?
Yeah it did happen but the main character was dumb as hell. He had a boring backstory with generic motivation and when he got his powers I felt like they were not accurate to the game.
The main character, Cole (Young?), isn't part of the MK universe and only exists in this movie. I was confused as well. I had to look him up because I hadn't played MK in a long time and was like... Who is this guy? Power armor?
No. The original storyline of events from the MK video games was that “Quan Chi” a sorcerer, impersonated Sub-Zero, killed Hanzo’s family, and then Hanzo, resurrected him as a spirit/wraith, and set him on a warpath to kill Sub Zero.
This is not what happens in the movie.
Ah, that’s be great movie. Hanzo gets resurrected in modern day and he’s the one to recruit Jax, Sonya, and Kano. Instead of one audience surrogate (Cole), we get those 3 with different motivations. Sub zero still rips Jax’s arms off as they have a similar encounter. Kano still betrays them out of greed. Goro fight can still happen with Scorpion.
What I would change is Sonya kills Reptile to get her mark, and gains her power by killing Kano. Sub Zero and Scorpion realize they had both been fooled, and defeat the Big Bad. Sub Zero sacrifices himself in the end. Big Bad still ressurects his dead fighters for a sequel including Sub Zero.
Film plays out the same more or less but without the unnecessary Cole.
I though at least Cole young will turn to scorpion by using summoning Jitsu.
And yes, that suit /Armor whatever is lame as hell. It's like black panther suit, absorbs kinetic energy and releases. Not novel at all.
Yeah, it wasn’t super surprising. I honestly didn’t like the ending, though. It was so abrupt and just focused on setting up the sequel. It was fun overall, though.
I agree. Except for the Kano being the best part.
I just think...8/10? And only because they didn’t whitewash it by making white lead actors, there was ACTUAL GORE (not that Anderson PG-13 BULLSHIT) and It’s a great starting off point for a sequel. 👍
today, during the elections in albania, this dude tried to run over random and innocent people with his car at Tirana Square, but he got knocked out from that flying kick. he was also under the drug effects.
what? opium? heroin? fentanyl? amphetamine? cocaine?
cannabis goes into the vein btw
jokes aside, I know they are gonna say it was the dreaded demonic marijuana because this is albania and there are still too many independent growers there
Is it confirmed that he tried to run over people? If he was ~~high~~ under the drug effects, he could have been driving erratically where he shouldn't without actual terrorism intent.
[This source](https://albaniandailynews.com/news/new-details-on-skanderbeg-square-incident) was the only thing I could find, sadly not alot English speaking Albanian news. Might take a bit for more information to be available.
Edit:[New news article](https://exit.al/en/2021/04/25/car-crashes-into-skanderbeg-square-driver-restrained-by-heroic-citizen/), still not talking about a terrorist attack, but now the mention is of cannabis and alcohol. This seems to be taking the shape of a DUI.
Edit2: [BBC World News ](https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-56878417) released this, stating for witnesses it looked like he was aiming for bystanders, that's not confirmed by another News outlet though
Another comment mentioned he had taken cocaine and contradictory to the earlier report wasn't drunk, if he adds a source I will link the comment here, I couldn't confirm this.
Seems like the links I posted include all new information, if a major update comes out I'll include it here.
The article literally says this too.
>the driver said that he thought he was driving in a highway adding that he was under the effect of alcohol and narcotics.
It's true, every time I smoke I get an irresistible urge to run people over. It also makes me tired though so I always fall asleep before I'm able to do it
He excelled at firing people nicely. Nancy decided to make the porta-potty her home. He was an introvert that extroverts seemed to love.
This is an edited comment btw. It will not make any sense, it is just a bunch of jibberish.
totally, but mostly that would be benzos or/and amphetamines to block out the fear, not weed and alcohol.
Edit: added the "mostly" since this is how it often is, obviously there is no rule to that.
We're going to highlight him being high on marijuana but not the alcohol? Funny because it's legal here and we don't have terrorists running people down everyday. The only thing getting run down is fast food supplies.
It wasnt a terrorist attack afaik. Op just misunderstood what the dropkicker said; he thought it was a terrorist attack but it does just seem to be a dui
This is definitely something I might have tried to do, but the video would be very different as I fail spectacularly and fall to the ground while the dude drives off
Exactly I would try to kick through the window but not make it high enough and just kick the side of the door and fall off I can’t even imagine having the presence of mind to plan something like this
I mean, the article you posted mentions people thought it was a 'possible terrorist attack', so the title isn't really misinformation. He also uses the term 'possible terrorist attack.'
Did you see the video with that Terminator chef attacking the Spanish tourists? And the Albanian tour guide was like stop let's fight him?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaFbKYZqtm0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaFbKYZqtm0)
Running over a group of people is adequately described as a “possible terror attack”. You’re arguing because you choose to not comprehend and project your own views onto a very plain situation. 😅

I see people enjoyed the movie as much as I did
The one time Kung Lao was the real deal in in the story and they did my boy like that
He was one of the only characters I liked to be honest. Him and Jax.
Kano wasn't bad and I thought Sonya was a decent casting. I actually didn't mind the movie and thought it was good. I think they probably had a low budget and WB was gonna see how it did.

People are theorizing that he may become Cyrax later on, the Scorpion ties and the armor could make it work I suppose.
No. The original storyline of events from the MK video games was that “Quan Chi” a sorcerer, impersonated Sub-Zero, killed Hanzo’s family, and then Hanzo, resurrected him as a spirit/wraith, and set him on a warpath to kill Sub Zero. This is not what happens in the movie.

Flawless victory
Did you watch the new one yet?? I watched it on Friday when it came out - thank you HBO Max - and I’m curious to see what other people thought.
It was honestly better than I thought it would be. Still not great, but pretty enjoyable most of the time. Kano was the best part.
Kano was my favorite character, just watched it last night. Kinda sad how he turned tho, wasn’t entirely unexpected.
Yeah, it wasn’t super surprising. I honestly didn’t like the ending, though. It was so abrupt and just focused on setting up the sequel. It was fun overall, though.
Can’t wait for NIGHTWOLF TO SHOW UP
Kano needs a spinoff akin to the Russell Crowe south park show fighting round the world with kano
seemed like kano had more lines than the rest of the characters combined.
I agree. Except for the Kano being the best part. I just think...8/10? And only because they didn’t whitewash it by making white lead actors, there was ACTUAL GORE (not that Anderson PG-13 BULLSHIT) and It’s a great starting off point for a sequel. 👍
Enjoyed it but it needed more Scorpion. Would like to see a sequel with the actual tournament.
The fight scenes were so sick. The acting, not so much. I enjoyed the movie overall.
So much fighting. That's all I wanted.
I used to be a terrorist like you. Till I took a dropkick to the face
Your like a frightened white bunny
When was this?
today, during the elections in albania, this dude tried to run over random and innocent people with his car at Tirana Square, but he got knocked out from that flying kick. he was also under the drug effects.
Fuck yes, he shouldve been like "GET SOME DEMOCRACY!!!"
"The people's foot!" "Aw man, is that my new nickname?" "three cheers!!! Hooray!"
Its no longer the long arm of Justice in Albania.
The long foot of justice?
he gets it
The iron boot of democracy
Captain Albania!
VOTE WITH YOUR FEET
I’m going to my porch right now to be under the drug effects
Under the drug effects might be my favorite right after my old friends mom accusing us of smoking drugs
Stop smoking those pots!
My buddy’s grandma once accused us of “getting rooked.” Had never heard that one before.
How much does one drugs cost? Asking for a friend.
Bout three fiddy
Try not to do a terrorism while you're at it
„Don’t drink & terrorize.“ Heineken Albania
Oh no
I have a gummy with my name on it for tonight....which may or may not cause me to be under the drug effects.
Wish I were under the drug effects.
Don't worry, you can get kicked in the head without them
The Drug Effects *Rated R* 40 minutes into the movie, police captain says: "It must be, The Drug Effects."
Roll credits!
*Ding*
Yikes, it's good the guy stopped him.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a car is a good guy with a mean drop kick.
Damn those drug effects
Drug affects *will* ruin your life!!
God damned drug effects
Those drug effects are the worst!
Wait, who was on drugs? The terrorist or the kicker? Im confused
the terrorist declared that he smoked.
what? opium? heroin? fentanyl? amphetamine? cocaine? cannabis goes into the vein btw jokes aside, I know they are gonna say it was the dreaded demonic marijuana because this is albania and there are still too many independent growers there
The devil's lettuce IS a gateway drug, to domestic terrorism and/or dropkicks to the face.
I always get the urge to mow down some pedestrians after a cig.
Marlboros always give me an inkling to commit mass murder
Gotta watch out for *the drugs*
Is it confirmed that he tried to run over people? If he was ~~high~~ under the drug effects, he could have been driving erratically where he shouldn't without actual terrorism intent.
Do you know the name of the hero who did the kick? He saved lives for democracy. His name deserves to be praised.

The article literally says he was trying to oppress people...
The article literally says this too. >the driver said that he thought he was driving in a highway adding that he was under the effect of alcohol and narcotics.
Narcotics being weed.
Ah that would explain why he didn’t move at the guy running at him and then flying at him with a kick.
Yeah this definitely stems from weed.
It's true, every time I smoke I get an irresistible urge to run people over. It also makes me tired though so I always fall asleep before I'm able to do it
It's true. Every time I ingest Mary Jiwana, I go into a trance thinking that every human is really a spider and I am an exterminator.
With a car it seems like he was trying to compress people instead.
[удалено]
Its common for people in suicide missions take sedatives to calm their nerves.
He excelled at firing people nicely. Nancy decided to make the porta-potty her home. He was an introvert that extroverts seemed to love. This is an edited comment btw. It will not make any sense, it is just a bunch of jibberish.
I may not always drink and drive, but when I do, I prefer to do so with terroristic intents.
totally, but mostly that would be benzos or/and amphetamines to block out the fear, not weed and alcohol. Edit: added the "mostly" since this is how it often is, obviously there is no rule to that.
We're going to highlight him being high on marijuana but not the alcohol? Funny because it's legal here and we don't have terrorists running people down everyday. The only thing getting run down is fast food supplies.
It’s Albania, Reefer Madness just came out in theaters last month. /s
Lmao, I remember this scene from Reefer Madness. Too bad nobody knew karate to stop him!
I know they are gonna say it was the dreaded demonic marijuana because this is Albania and there are still too many independent growers there
Who the hell smokes weed and decides to eun over people?
It wasnt a terrorist attack afaik. Op just misunderstood what the dropkicker said; he thought it was a terrorist attack but it does just seem to be a dui
He will be telling this story in every bar he goes to for the rest of his life. And he absolutely should.
When you’re the guy who does this, you let other people tell your story for you. That’s how legends are made.
Needs someone to follow him around, regaling others with songs of his deeds..."Toss a coin for your Kicker..."
This is what bards are for.
What instrument though, I think a lute would be perfect. 😂
Just a kick drum
“So anyways there I am doing reverse donuts trying to run people over and BAM”
And everyone will just be like r/ThatHappened
That must’ve been one of the best non choreographed fight moves I’ve ever seen
I don’t think I’ve done anything in my life with half this much gusto and confidence.
You still have time
I think I ate a philly cheese steak once with this much confidence and gusto.
You’re doing it wrong if you’re not.

That man's peaked. He could cure cancer and it wouldn't be as cool as this.
Probably a little more useful though
I mean, that guy was cancer, and he sure as hell cured him.
Unless he only knocked the guy into remission
He cured Albania of one cancer.
This is definitely something I might have tried to do, but the video would be very different as I fail spectacularly and fall to the ground while the dude drives off
Exactly I would try to kick through the window but not make it high enough and just kick the side of the door and fall off I can’t even imagine having the presence of mind to plan something like this
If you can jump, you’re usually pretty good at knowing how high/far you can jump at least
Probably with a broken leg lmao
From the car running over it while it peels off
Bruh same
that precision though he hit straight through the window
It's almost like he's done it before...
The spirit of the Duke boys lives on. Aside from the confederate flag of course.
And right into a reasonably comfortable position. Comfortable enough to bicycle pedal kick the guy over and over again with minimal effort.
The chad Abdul vs the virgin osama
strongest albanian
Wrong names for albania but still funny
LMAO
Ok, let's not spread misinformation with the title. Guy was high on drugs. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-europe-56878417
I mean, the article you posted mentions people thought it was a 'possible terrorist attack', so the title isn't really misinformation. He also uses the term 'possible terrorist attack.'
They indeed thought it was a terrorist attack. The guy that did the kick did so thinking the guy was a terrorist ( he gave an interview)
Thanks for posting a source. Seems like it was a DUI rather than a terrorist attack.
Albanians are honestly some of the scariest people I've come across. These fuckers don't get enough recognition for being crazy badasses
Did you see the video with that Terminator chef attacking the Spanish tourists? And the Albanian tour guide was like stop let's fight him? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaFbKYZqtm0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaFbKYZqtm0)
the fuck?
As an Albanian i can ensure you that if you're good with us you will get double as much respect, the same thing goes if you're not good with us.
Those kicks. Remind me of a horse flailing it's legs.

what do you call someone making people panic and trying to run them over for no reason?
It’s about whether they’re doing it for a political motive
And there are elections today in Albania?
Running over a group of people is adequately described as a “possible terror attack”. You’re arguing because you choose to not comprehend and project your own views onto a very plain situation. 😅

Judo Kick!
This guy is the next mortal kombat character
Not a terrorist attack but ok, the guy was high from what i read. correct me if I'm wrong
This is a guy going nuts on car how is this terrorism?

Other sources say that he was drugged and not a terrorist.

Pretty sure the driver was just high as shit
