I came to see Mortal Kombat, not the Cole Young movie where the actual Mortal Kombat cast is shoved to the side. Leave that nobody out of the next film.

I think it's because people are getting bored with seeing the same thing of Scorpion Vs Sub-Zero, Sonya Vs Kano and Liu Kang being the main tournament winner. By now, Liu Kang is a Fire God, so who knows how the second movie will turn out. The first movie was OK, but it dealt too much with Cole's family and all that goody-goody, lovey-dovey, snore-fest.

The production for Mortal Kombat 2 received a fatality today after the country of Australia's production union issued guidance saying a limited number of SAG-affiliated productions will have to stop. This has caused the cast and crew to stand down as production on the sequel from New Line Cinema and Warner Bros Pictures has been taking place on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
