That is correct ladies and gentlemen! Mortal Kombat the film based off of the Midway created video game from 1992 was release into theaters nation wide today! And all I can think is man I am old.

To this day I still remember argueing with my mother for hour that I was old enough to see this film. I eventually convinced her and proved it would not pollute my mind as I threw a spear into my friends chest and screamed get over here.  Granted his wounds healed but he will always have that cherished memory.

The original film released August 18th 1995. I watched this film so many times that any time I heard or saw the New Line Cinema Logo intro. I just wanted to follow it with screaming MORTAL KOMBAT!

For a movie based on a video game it still holds up as one of the best films.  It gave us a buttload of memorable lines including “Those were 500 dollar sunglasses asshole” to ones that you just throw at friends in the characters voice just for shits and gigs like “ah… Good Boy”, “Did you miss me”, or “IT HAVE BEGUN”

The only dissappointment to this film was we did not get to see SubZero face Scorpion. In fact under Shang Tsung’s powers they were his puppets programmed to do his bidding.

So today in honor of Mortal Kombat’s 20th birthday be sure to pour yourself a libation dedicated to this cult classic!
