Just rewatched MK1 & reread this thread. I forgot that I got to interview Taslim about this. I need to revisit my DoG articles on this. I’m going to the screener for MKII tomorrow night.
The MK press box was great. I need to find the MK hat that was in it. There was a mini-video-game shaped like an old arcade game that I gave to Tara. There was a BevMo card that I spent on booze and some fine of drink mixes thst I still have because I don’t know what to do with them. The box itself was cool - black with the MK logo embossed and a plastic Ruby for the dragon’s eye. I keep my tax receipts in it.
The rewatch reminded me of how forgettable most of this film was. I remember the Sanada scenes and some of Taslim’s but forgot about the other fighters. It does set up the sequel well. How characters come back to life was unclear but then I remembered it’s a video game so it just takes dropping another token in the machine, right?
Hopefully Johnny Cage will level up the story.
