Thanks for all the suggestions to do Johnny Cage next. We’re glad you guys enjoyed the Shang Tsung reference video. We took your advice and shortened some of the reference videos a bit, but still let some longer when we felt the context was needed. We also added 2 that we missed from the Shang Tsung video that you guys pointed out. Thanks again and would you guys be interested in seeing another character’s reference video? Who? Mortal Kombat 11 Shang Tsung References vs Actual Scenes th-cam.com/video/TCgTFGrUFMw/w-d-xo.html The reference at 8:17 had a better scene from MK9 where Jax beat the crap out of Johnny Cage. That was our bad.
The "Man-Eater" reference is also based off of Mileena's classic fatality where she swallows you whole and then spit out your bones. It's also in MKX as well. Look it up.
These were awesome!!!!! I am looking forward to the Indiana Jones reference when Cage told Erron Black he chose poorly or the film references on the Stage and Character Select.
Ezio Auditore Da Firenze I feel that, I think sub zero’s voice reflects his personality being a grandmaster and a cryomancer his voice is cold yet disciplined
Somehow I appreciate the hell out of the way Johnny's voice actor did the "Attack ships on fire" line. Like in character, he got the opportunity to reference what's considered one of the greatest cinematic lines ever, and so there's this...soft reverence, there.
There's a "When Harry Met Sally" interaction with Sonya. Sonya: I am not your Sally Johnny: I'm your Harry and you know it. Sonya: I haven't even seen the movie.
Kombat Pack 2 needs Kenshi played by Keanu Reeves And if we bringing Takeda back he needs to be played the Teenager from RP1 Edit: I would love to see Neo also and RP1 is Ready Player one
@@mr.random9239 pffff, I don't know. There ain't no sailors in MK (as far as I'm concerned). Guess they'll have to put two indians in it to compensate.
Basically it can mean both because Johnny probably thinks about his fight with Jax as a Revenant while Jax told Jacqui about the time he couldn't shut up.
Joker isn't like Deadpool or Cage though, his jokes are more creepy and threatening than actual humor. What you mean is, DC has Lobo, no matter how many times they fuck him up.
@@whenallelsfails21 no there is a bug, it happened to me when I clicked back on this video to reply to you. It popped up for a split second with a tekken thumbnail and then changed to Keanu
@@illusions500 no. It isnt. That means you just watched a tekken video previously lol. Not the other way around, this guy clearly put keanu reeves ( the internet's jesus) in his thumbnail for the affect it would have. No accidents took place today, sorry.
The Nosferatu joke refers to how in MK2 they created Baraka by painting a Nosferatu mask and glueing long pointed false nails over the mouth to create teeth. Also does anyone else want to see a buddy cop action comedy staring Johnny Cage and Baraka? That would kick ass.
@@ellnats Yes, that's how they created Baraka. Also the reason Kintaro is a Shokan is because they wanted to make a half human half tiger character but could get a costume that worked so they decided it would be easier to make a tiger striped Goro.
The "Man-Eater" reference is also based off of Mileena's classic fatality where she swallows you whole and then spit out your bones. It's also in MKX as well. Look it up.
Everyone says that one reference is just to the man eater song , but the spit out the bones part has to be referencing Mileena's man eater fatality from MKII
There is a reference in call of duty modern wafare were you get to jump into a into a helicopter from a ship. When you fall and die the game will write " No one makes it on the first jump". That's a matrix reference. Lol
Hmm very true. I did think of Xena immediately when I saw Warrior Princess but since he said hot right now it made me lean toward Wonder Woman. Probably should have just put both
Actually the one with skarlet seemed to be a double refference, the first interaction seemed to be a refference to an old fatality then the maneater part
1:13 one of my fav movies i cant believe i never made the connection!!! my man even included the 97 gatorade jordan commercial. damn these references are bringing ne bacj
One low budget movie sorta has an MK1 Sonya Blade outfit,the movie is called Angel Fist a low budget female version of Bloodsport it has a blonde chick in it and she wore and fought in a leotard just like Sonya Blade from the first game.
When Ermac elbows Cage in the knee after catching the kick at 17:41, I swear to God I've seen almost the same move somewhere else, probably in som old movie (might have been a hammer fist in the movie), but I can't remember which. Anyone remember what I'm talking about?
Nice vid. It was great to see the actual scenes. I knew most of them, but I did learn a little. And I MUST see Big Trouble soon. As a huge mk fan, why the hell haven't I watched it yet?
8:20 that line is not from the mkx fight of jax and Johnny, It's referencing the fight of them in mk9 when Johnny didn't shut his mouth once and jax beat the hell out of him
Involving Jacqui and Johnny's first interaction, Johnny and her father fought in MK9 in Jax's chapter, leading to Jax's victory. That and there was also a moment that occured when Cassie and friends were in prison. Among the dialogue was an occasion where Johnny spoke to Jax and left with a broken jaw.
I just thought of this... The comment made may have been from the young Johnny Cage who went into the MK tournament the same time that Xena was on the air. :)

Speaking of missed references, Johnny Cage quotes Ice Ice Baby in a intro with Kung Lao (Turn off the lights, and I'll glow)
This the part where you fall down
8:54 Fireball spamming? Really? Channel of your talents??
The "Man-Eater" reference is also based off of Mileena's classic fatality where she swallows you whole and then spit out your bones. It's also in MKX as well. Look it up.
These were awesome!!!!! I am looking forward to the Indiana Jones reference when Cage told Erron Black he chose poorly or the film references on the Stage and Character Select.
I'd like to think Johnny Cage and Liu Kang watched Big Trouble in Little China together and make it a annual thing
Funny because they're both base off of those two among other things...
Annual? It has to be monthly imo =)
Bet Raiden watches it as well.
that would be awesome to see
Imagine the Earthrealm Warriors taking a day off, get together, and just watching movies.
He easily has the best intros with the best voice actor
And then Erron black
And then sub zero
Shang tsung is up there too
Take Sub off this list he bland as hell
What about raiden!? His voice actor is raiden since mortal kombat vs dc universe
Ezio Auditore Da Firenze I feel that, I think sub zero’s voice reflects his personality being a grandmaster and a cryomancer his voice is cold yet disciplined
Mill WithTheHemi damn how did I forget Shang tsung nice one
The double impact is by far my favorite considering Cage is based off Van Damme
I always thought it was a refrence to the double dragon game
Haunted Pumpkin83 it’s a great movie. I’d watch it if you haven’t
@ No he isn't you moron.
SuperVince93 its a joke you other moron.
I used to love DI
Every man dies, not every man truly lives.
Words to live by.
@ET Hardcorgamer Historical accuracy asides, it's a damn well done movie all things considered
Johnny:you just need a cop, a sailor, and a cowboy
Kotal: For what Johnny cage?
*YMCA Intensifies*
I just had an image of Stryker, Nightwolf, Erron Black and Jax being the Village People.
VideoGamerGuy95
Mortal Kombat YMCA performance 😂
I was confused but when the YMCA song came in, that was funny 😆

Hell yeah. And bring his Takeda along.
Fuck kenshi give us Neo lol
Kenshi is dead as fuck
Fuck all of them
Ninja/ cyber initiative pack
Johnny Cage is too damn funny tbh 😂😂
Richard Ayala he likes Deadpool but it's in mortal kombat and so much beautiful than him
15:55
Just call Erron Black, Striker and Nightwolf and there you have it :)
And the sailor?
@@mr.random9239 pffff, I don't know.
There ain't no sailors in MK (as far as I'm concerned).
Guess they'll have to put two indians in it to compensate.
@@ryuoh6928 i think there is one sailor in mk11 but idk his name
Kharon
Rain’s the closest i think
8:17 I think that's a reference to mk 9 when Johnny wouldn't shut up
Yes, it is, When he and Jax fought in the armory.
You're definitely right. Realized it after the fact, we messed up on that one
Leonard Leonard oh yeah I love that scene Jax was like can you shut up... but ok that it I’m going to kick your ass Hollywood boy
Basically it can mean both because Johnny probably thinks about his fight with Jax as a Revenant while Jax told Jacqui about the time he couldn't shut up.
It is
Mortal Kombat has Johnny Cage
Marvel Has Deadpool
DC has Joker
n o n e o f t h e m a r e f u n n y (especially deadpuss)
I'd pay to see a budy cop style game with those three.
Joker isn't like Deadpool or Cage though, his jokes are more creepy and threatening than actual humor. What you mean is, DC has Lobo, no matter how many times they fuck him up.
@@TheDirtysouthfan Yeah like Carnage
Dc has lobo
bruh, Keanu Reaves was the thumbnail for this vid for me for a bit and I was confused/excited
Weird bug on TH-cam showing previously watched video's thumbnail when you click on it
@@illusions500 that makes sense. thank ya
I believe this is known as "clickbait". Cmon now, a bug that everyone sees and encounters simultaneously?
@@whenallelsfails21 no there is a bug, it happened to me when I clicked back on this video to reply to you. It popped up for a split second with a tekken thumbnail and then changed to Keanu

A few obscure references in there
Damn well done with this video
Thank you good sir, much appreciated

@@TheSonOfTheDragon lol
I think when Jacque talked about when Cage and Jax fought, it referred to MK9 where Jax got pissed and beat up Johnny.
"What's up? - Your time."
I'll remember this
NRS: "Okay, so how many references would you like Cage to make in this game?"
Ed Boon: "Yes."
The "Man-Eater" reference is also based off of Mileena's classic fatality where she swallows you whole and then spit out your bones. It's also in MKX as well. Look it up.
Nah just the song, the fatality is just coincidence
@@chubsreyes2425 I'm still gonna count it as a reference.
I see it as a two-for-one.
back with another banger. i cant imagine the work that goes into finding and editing the correct scenes
Liu Kang and Johnny Cage referencing Big Trouble in Little China. Definitely Squad Goals right there.
Does anyone else feel Kurt Russell would have made a great Johnny Cage?
Nicholas Cage would.
Voice, yes. Choreography, no
Hey a lil trivia. Johnny Cage came from Jean-Claude Van Damme.
For the Warrior Princesses thing, you should have also used footage of Xena: Warrior Princess
I thought he would have too lol
I see a young Keanu Reeves in the thumbnail plus a Mortal Kombat video, I click instantly
Finally someone made a video on this. I kept wondering if someone would do this. ♥️
Johnny Cage reminds me of Tony DiNozzo from NCIS with all these movie references lol
Ya good times the show hasn't been the same since he left
You are right.
Johnny, Tony and Kurt Russell inThe Holy Trio!
"You just need a cop, sailor and a cowboy" - that one really cracked me up. and I'm at work
I wish Johnny Cage could meet Deadpool they are so funny 😄
lol that would be the best crossover ever
Gamer's Little Playground this is True Guys also Watch Out DP -3 Coming soon
Two smartasses meet
Then the universe would explode because of their bullshit
She-Venom and Lobo
Ello
Me on at least one scene in this entire video:
*I understood that reference.*
I understood all references
Mr Cage watched too many Austin Powers movies
16:21 Rutger Hauer blade runner line may he rest wel in heaven
Time to die.
Thank you for the double impact reference... another TH-camr(which shall not be named) didn't know about this one...
the best johnny cage reference is in mkx if you pit him against the alien. "Game over, Man!"
Honestly, A-Aron is the best one IMO lol.
Everyone says that one reference is just to the man eater song , but the spit out the bones part has to be referencing Mileena's man eater fatality from MKII
Damn! I did not think his master’s Soul was taken.
if shang tsung turned into him, theres your answer
All those references will be lost in time like... Tears in Rain.
0:30 That's funny because in the same movie the actor and the voice actor of Shang Tsung in all the Mk games and movies is in this movie
There is a reference in call of duty modern wafare were you get to jump into a into a helicopter from a ship. When you fall and die the game will write " No one makes it on the first jump". That's a matrix reference. Lol
In COD: Ghosts there is a 'Saving Private Ryan' reference.
The Austin powers one was spot on and beautiful
Too perfect
wow that was a lot of effort to put all these together great job!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
This proves that key and peele a-a-ron joke will never get old
It's as timeless as it gets 😀
7:47 Darn, I was hoping that it was going to be a Xena: Warrior Princess reference since she throws those frisbee chakram things.
Hmm very true. I did think of Xena immediately when I saw Warrior Princess but since he said hot right now it made me lean toward Wonder Woman. Probably should have just put both
Actually the one with skarlet seemed to be a double refference, the first interaction seemed to be a refference to an old fatality then the maneater part
Johnny Cage, Best at References.......don’t even try to tell me I’m wrong
Dead pool been doing it better for years but ok.
*yOu ArE wRoNg DuMmY*
ShiroBolic no u
@@ultra3268 *Right back at you backaroo*
I dunno, I'd say him and Deadpool are pretty tied
Actually, the Jax and Johnny cage fight was from mk 9, right before he got his arms ripped off
Way before he got his arms ripped off
that Double Impact reference, its even more meta because in the original game, johnny cage was inspired by Jaune Clude Van Dayme
0:28 Goodbye Mr Burton
*tosses the knife to him easily* 😅😄
Mr. Burton: Yeah, no.
old Jack Burton says "what the hell"
Johnny Cage: Movie reference GOD
1:13 one of my fav movies i cant believe i never made the connection!!!
my man even included the 97 gatorade jordan commercial. damn these references are bringing ne bacj
Ah, Nosferatu, to this day the most disturbing vampire there ever was, and without advanced makeup or digital effects.
One low budget movie sorta has an MK1 Sonya Blade outfit,the movie is called Angel Fist a low budget female version of Bloodsport it has a blonde chick in it and she wore and fought in a leotard just like Sonya Blade from the first game.
Without this video i wouldn't know what any of these references or easter eggs were. Thank you 🔥🔥
17:19 “Hair down smoking on a blunt, smoking a fucking cigarette to fuck up both of my lungs”
Xena would have been the more obvious Warrior-Princess reference, though they probably were referencing both.
Xena was my first though, but the "hot right now" part is what makes me think Wonder Woman instead. I agree with you though, that it's probably both.
Its so fitting that there are so many references to Big Trouble In Little China since MK takes so much influence from that cool flick.
8:59 Wait aren’t that Scorpion’s move in MKX trailer?
Refrencing mk9 at 8:21
In the armory
Or both mkx and mk9
I never realised how much intellect and references you need to know to understand Johnny’s intros better haha.
I always had the warrior princess line figured as a reference to Xena in the 90s because of the timeline merging.
In the scene where Kano throws Johnny off the bridge, Johnny kinda lookin like frank west
I loved Casablanca, the reference was a pretty big surprise
You forget about Xena Warrior Princess.
When Ermac elbows Cage in the knee after catching the kick at 17:41, I swear to God I've seen almost the same move somewhere else, probably in som old movie (might have been a hammer fist in the movie), but I can't remember which. Anyone remember what I'm talking about?
How to get more views in 2019 Q2-4:
Put Keanu Reeves on thumbnail
13:08 Is also a reference to Mileena's OG Fatality. (Or Brutality. One of the two.)
I thought I was the only one that noticed
I can just imagine how much fun they were having coming up with these
I didn't expect the Austin Powers reference
Nice vid. It was great to see the actual scenes. I knew most of them, but I did learn a little. And I MUST see Big Trouble soon. As a huge mk fan, why the hell haven't I watched it yet?
0:28 is one of the biggest "No You!" in the History.
8:20 that line is not from the mkx fight of jax and Johnny, It's referencing the fight of them in mk9 when Johnny didn't shut his mouth once and jax beat the hell out of him
What makes you say that?
Pretty sure they were referencing the mk9 Johnny vs Jax
Yeah, a couple ppl have mentoined that. You guys are definitely right. Forgot about that until after the vid was already posted
Gamer's Little Playground tbh feels like it references both
Gamer's Little Playground of course jax wouldn’t want his daughter knowing he got caged lol
“are you that eager to to die?” Shang Tsung is so badass
I think the reference at 8:18 might actually be from Johnny and Jax's fight in MK9
Involving Jacqui and Johnny's first interaction, Johnny and her father fought in MK9 in Jax's chapter, leading to Jax's victory. That and there was also a moment that occured when Cassie and friends were in prison. Among the dialogue was an occasion where Johnny spoke to Jax and left with a broken jaw.
Personally I saw the Warrior Princess reference as more of a Xena: Warrior Princess reference.
Only reason I think it has to be Wonder Woman is he says "hot right now." Otherwise I would have gone with Xena
Wouldn’t 13:08 be a reference to mileenas fatality?
8:17 i think she meant when they fought in the flesh pits in mk9
Pretty sure the reference to warrior princesses was to Xena.
8:35 that's accually refferencing the fight they had in mk9, you know when jax wasn't a revenant
The way Frost’s head attaches to her body reminds me Borg Queen from Star Trek First Contact. It’s literally almost the exact same.
Omg how did you find all the references? Amazing job, man.
When he was talking about warrior princesses I thought he meant Xena!!!!
That's the first thing I thought too but he does say hot "right now" so you figure he must mean Wonder Woman
Same here, not this crappy Wonder Woman!
@@glp IMO Xena could kick the crap out of Wonder Woman!
I just thought of this... The comment made may have been from the young Johnny Cage who went into the MK tournament the same time that Xena was on the air. :)
The jokester in Johnny Cage never failed to be meta and funny all in one package. 👏👏👏💯💯💯⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️.
The sound Johnny makes when he gets thrown off the bridge
Good mixology or matchology ? Forcing something that actually not so relatable, I don't know but i appreciate your content
Keanu Reeves on Thumbnail
Yeah he's one of the references
Johnny Cage Is just one big refference.
This is why JC my favorite character. 💪🏽😎
Hats off to you buddy.. I can imagine it had take too long to research.. I liked the video
Nice video
This video connected them all so well. 🙂👍🏽
9:40 wait why did you used a ripoff Charlie's angels clip?
Johnny Cage to Ghost rider: hello Johnny blaze.!
The 95 skin when Shang tsung talks about master boyed he shows that he cared
this is pretty great thanks for this
The Nosferatu one was hillarious.
Specially considering that Baraka's original actor used a modified Nosferatu mask.
