The first few movies based on video games didn’t exactly give a great reputation to the genre. However the fourth video game movie to ever be made was Mortal Kombat, and it didn’t do too poorly at the box office-- meaning that the FIFTH video game movie ever made was a sequel! It… it wasn’t great.
Mortal Kombat Annihilation raises a ton of questions. Like why did a bunch of the original actors quit? Why were the events of the first movie undone in just a few seconds? Why are is there an underground hamster ball network all of a sudden? Who hired these actors? Why do all the dead characters have identical brothers? What’s with that mud wrestling scene? Did a cameraman just attack Liu Kang?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Mortal Kombat: Annihilation! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Camera men attacking lead characters is TIGHT
That...was hilarious.
*Mel Brooks enters the chat*
Third wall break
Fourth wall breaks are tight 🤣🤣🤣
Have you heard the movie chappie
"What's the story in this thing?"
"Oh no no, none of that"
"Oh, okay"
What about the story to the previous one?
Well, the first thing we do is take the final scene and change it. Then we kill a main character.
Off to a great and accurate start, to be sure.
*"Writing languagalistically"* is the most hilarious phrase I have ever heard. Where has that been all my life??
Thanks, I was wondering how to spell it.
It certainly made me chuckle.
It killled me .... Language-listicly speaking
In his head lol
Languagealistical writing is tight!
It always feels wonderful when you find one pitch meeting you didn't watch.
Ikr. I keep finding them. I’ve watched a hundred or more already. Such good stuff.
“I don’t know, but they give him a haircut about it” LOL 😂
Wowowow wow wow
Is he Samson but with lightning powers? No hair, no powers?
9 years later he adopts Dexter and then looks as if he aged 25 years.
This pitch meeting actually makes the movie sound better than it is.
I thought it was pretty good overall
Oh wait I thought this was the recent one lol
@@TROBassGuitar It's true, the pitch meeting makes looks so much better, that am actually thinking of watching it again honestly lol 😂🤣
It makes it sound like an actual movie as opposed to a masochism marathon
@Keith D. That one wasn't really good either. None of the Mortal Kombat movies were actually good if we're honest with ourselves lol!
“Too bad you...will die.”
Greatest line in cinema ever.
Everyone stood up and applauded!
I mean, Revenge Of The Sith has worse dialogue than that!
@@christianhardtofind6349 just barely tho...lol
@@christianhardtofind6349Look up "Backstroke of the West". The subs it puts over Revenge of the Sith makes it so much funnier.
Kal el no
So... no one is going to conment about Ryan’s perfect acting “Too bad you... will die!”? I died at that line :))
I came here looking for this 😂
Huh?
“And the Academy Award goes to...”
WAIT
Well, if you died than that's some real good acting.
"BARELY INCONVENIENCE HIM!"- Shao Kahn
Tightality!
@@user-rb3yx1bf6g Good one 🤣
"Get over here!" ---> "Get off my back!"
You will be barely inconvenienced mortal.
No! Not Detroit!
Whenever I get to the part in a movie when the title makes sense, I imagine producer guy saying "That's the name of the movie!"
I had that with the first episode of Into the Night :D
I do this whenever I'm watching a sequel or something- "he's from the first movie!"
Ryan saying this is literally my favorite part now of every pitch meeting where he says it.
@@jenniferconstantine9041 mine is "I don't know!". I even used it in a pubslished film review once :D
Wow wow wow wow imagination is tight
This is the Pich Meeting where he says "wow wow wow" the most, I loved it x)
As someone who watches videos at 1.5x speed, those moments are great!
Wow
WoW!
WoOOW¡
"oh wow wow wow is TIGHT!"
"Believing in himself, huh? Sounds like it's gonna be hard."
Mood.
You got dis Fuzzy 😎
Then Liu Kang did a backflip, snapped the bad guy's neck and saved the day!
Naw it's probably fine
Call backs to other videos are tight.
Wow wow wow wow
they should use that in a future pitch meeting
Do you think that the backflip was hard to do?
Anyone else notice that Ryan is slowly adding more and more wows to ”wow wow wow, wow”?
I LOVE the wow wow wow .
I worked, “Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience”, into a conversation yesterday! The people I was talking with did not get the reference.
@@alphagt62 wow
Wow wow wow wow
Yeahyeahyeah!
"Characters from a video game doing flippity-flips."
This is a really good sentence, languagelistically speaking.
"He died in the first one too. Is this also his brother?"
"I don't care."
"That's fair. Me either to be honest."
😂 🤣 🤣
His I don't care's on Super Mario Bros movie pitch meeting kills me
I mean, to be fair, 8yo me didn't care either and just wanted blue/yellow ninja flippy kicks.
At least Scorpion's made sense. Even in the first movie he had the skull under the mask, implying that he's some kind of undead being.
Sub-Zero was just to show the unmasked version from MK3. I think they treated it like a different character for the movie because money.
@@wesleyoldham-cartoonsandtv1962 There are 2 Sub-Zeros and they are in fact brothers. The first one, however, does die and becomes Noob-Saibot (The black shadow ninja). Thats when his brother takes the Title of Sub-Zero. The good Sub-Zero is the one with the scar. It would have been better if they actually Brough Noob-Saibot into this film.
@@MrSideswipe13 they KINDA did when Ermac splits itself, the copy is meant to be Noob... Sorta
"It's literally just a mud wrestling scene that's in there cuz I'm a little gross"
Lmao, these pitch meetings are top tier.
Ello again
you...again
69th like
@King Lurch lol what
King Lurch what?
This is the right movie for the hero to do a backflip, snap the bad guy’s neck and save the day. But what a missed opportunity.
God damn it. Beat me to it
I think Ryan George is saving that plot for a truly epic cinematic work of art.
You're going to have to get all the way off his back about that.
@@peterg76yt Or when it actually happens in the movie.
Ken Oliver, oh, lemme get off of that thing.
I lost it at "it's kinda gonna resemble a fight"!
yea, he nailed with that description lol!
Your comment should get more love because Ryan nailed it with that one.
Me too 😂
"His heart belongs to Kitana."
"Oh, are they a couple?"
"Yeah, and they have been for several hours."
"Very romantic."
Love at first sight. I love love stories.
Pretty sure the tournament took place over days.
They weren't dating for most of that time.
Oh, rushed love stories are TIGHT!
@@XX-sp3tt but they spent very little time together. A few hours at most.
That's why I though I hated romance for most of my life
"Oh okay, Lemme get off of that thing" is a seriously underrated line.
It's such a perfect That's What She Said set up
no it's not it's like the only one the comment section talks about next to "super easy, barely an inconvenience"
"And then the Metal arm guy is gonna punch a centaur man"
"Nice"
"And he's gonna lose his metal arms"
"Sounds like this might be a problem"
"nah, he'll realise the power was within him all along and punch it with his normal arms"
"Amazing, believe in yourself, great message for kids"
Those metal arms were just in the way
And he's going to be able to cause minor earthquakes with his metal arms.
Hold on. Aren't we worried about kids trying to injure themselves so they can have metal arms to?
Barely an inconvenience, then. 😄
@@flankspeed yeah he missed the golden opportunity. kinda sad though but the rest is briliant
Ryan lost the opportunity
Can't believe that Cameraman did not become a lasting MK character.
At least we had Mokap!
He’s too OP.
Hearing Ryan Say "To Bad Yoouu... WILL DIE" perfectly synced was aaesome
Need help...cannot find the “button button”
It's next to the button
I guess it's not super easy barley an inconvenience all the time
Use the keyboard shortcut -- hit Any key.
It's a button with a pretty big button on it.
Its labeled "Dislike Button" 😈
ScreenRant: "Ooh Ryan what will we do without you"
Ryan: "I don't know"
ScreenRant: "fair enough"
Is Ryan quitting?
@N. Warner I'm gonna need you to get alllllllllll the way off of your soapbox.
Us being the people at Screen Rant?
@@WolverineIncognito No he isn't.
People just comment a lot that everybody is subscribed to ScreenRant just for Ryan George and his Pitch Meetngs.
Wowwowwowwow.........
.......... Wow.
"All of the stock footage of the earth starts to look great again!"
Do a pitch meeting of Final Fantasy: Spirits within.
"You have a movie for me?"
"Yessir I do! A Final Fantasy movie!"
"Oh wow! Final Fantasy! Will it have magic?"
"No!"
"An evil empire nearly in complete control of the world that in its hubris tries to take control of an ancient evil that seeks to destroy the world?"
"Nope!"
"Chocobos?"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Moogles?"
"Nah!"
"Any of the easily recognizable FF monsters like tonberry or behemoth?"
"None at all!"
"Airships?"
"Well, planes and spaceships... so no!"
"Will it at LEAST be set in another world with no connection to our world whatsoever?"
"Nope! Earth in the future!"
"Then what makes it a Final Fantasy movie?"
"The name!"
"Oh yeah! Names are tight!"
That was a disappointing movie
I think I saw it did it have a giant crystal that was important to the plot?
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 I do not recall a crystal. There was the concept of the planet having a spirit called Gaia, which very VERY loosely correlates to the life stream in FF7, but that's about as close as it gets... Oh, and there was a scientist named Cid.
Daxyl the movie I saw had a giant crystal in the earth. I think the hero became a part of it.
That would be a FANTASTIC Pitch Meeting seconded
Please do a PITCH MEETING for HIGHLANDER!!! "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!"
"But I want sequels."
"What?"
"I don't like that. I want sequels."
"No, sir. It's the movie's catchphrase."
"Oh catchphrases are tight!"
"Yes, they are. But the story also doesn't lend itself to sequels."
"How are we gonna solve that problem?"
"Is it difficult to make just one movie, sir?"
"No its super easy. Barely an inconvenience."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah. And if I want sequels, I'll just hire another screenwriter."
"What?"
(music sting)
(Screenrant article)
Catchphrase switchamaroos are TIGHT
Sounds like you already wrote it for him lol
Omg please.
Yeaaaah do highlander!!! 😆
Cut to Best friend, significant other, or Ryan wearing a wig.
So you're the new screenwriter.
"Is this also his brother?"
"I dont care"
😂
- "Starting the sequel by killing the best character from the previous movie is that going to be a problem?"
- "That's probably fine."
- "Amazing"
I'd like to see the pitch meeting for Mars Attacks.
I knew this movie was going to be bad the first 5 minutes in when the characters were different and Johnny Cage got killed.
smelly cat I remember being so disappointed when I left the theater as a kid like wtf was that.
@@digital1401 Same
Because the first was such a good film?
@@petermarshall2256 It hid its shittiness better. Even kid me hated Annihilation. I felt bad for being mad that I couldn't see it in theaters once I finally got to see it.
@@petermarshall2256 10 year old me thought it was good but annihilation was way worse.
This movies whole creation... "Yeeaa It'll be fine!"
Ohhh, the critical drinker is tight!
That whole cast switch right at the start jesus
And Johnny Cage just kicked GORO'S ass so lets just kill him like hes chopped liver
Literally.. Or " when they see the rest it'll be okay" 🤔😒
being a critical drinker is super easy , barely an inconvenience
“Great. So what’s the story in this thing?”
“No-no-no, none of that.”
You could cut and paste that into the pitch meeting for so many movies these days... sooo many... just sooooo many.
Raiden against the Reptiles has to be one of the funniest scenes ever, besides the fact that no one is getting hit, you can see Raiden's stunt double face all the time, it's hilarious.
Question:
Was Raiden and Reptile on that scene doing martial arts or ballet dances?
It's basically a ballet recital.
Ryan George : "I don't, I don't care."
Producer Guy who is definitely not Ryan George : "That's fair, me neither to be honest."
The best
@drew pedersen If money's in, I'm in...😉
@@Morpheus0 If he's in I'm in
Phil 21 Well if he’s in, I’m in
“Oh okay let me get off of that thing.”
Gets me every time🤣
"And then Liu Kand is gonna see a wolf and is gonna be attacked by the camera man"
"What?"
I rolled laughing
"I hope the actress really nails that line." I literally spit coffee all over my screen.
me too... was epic
Classes in Writing Languagistically will be held every other Wednesday on Zoom.
You know, if he feels like it. 🤣😂
This...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This movie could be summarized almost immediately, actually.
”Whoops!”
”Whoopsie!”
Toasty!
I don't feel like staying safe... I'm going to produce a video game movie!
"And then Liu Kang is gonna see a wolf and get attacked by the camera man."
✋😑👌
This pitch meeting was 60,000 times better than the actual movie
Props to Ryan for having watched the whole movie and made sense of it to tell us about it again 💡
“And then Liu Kang is gonna see a wolf and get attacked by the cameraman.” Im ded
Every pitch meeting he says
“I don’t care” is hilarious.
Same! All petitioning him to add that to his recurring lines--it explains so much so quickly 🤣
I love how, between MK1 and Annihilation , the costumes went from looking pretty damn believable to Power Ranger levels of unbelievability!
Right like why not just reuse the costumes from mk1.
@@wittyjoker4631 because they now need to look like the MK3 versions, so it go the old MK2 inspired ones
"how does that happen"
"well idk, I wrote that it happened so it seems like it's gonna happen"
best movie logic ever lol
I feel Ryan could have spent about 3 more minutes talking about the CGI, which would be longer than the total amount that the CGI team spent
Doing cgi with a shoestring budget in the 90s probably wasnt that easy.
"So what's the story?"
"Oh no none of that" 😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
"Raiden comes back to life"
"How does that happen?"
"Well I wrote that it happens, so it seems like it's gonna happen"
LMAO where does this guy come up with this genius dialogue!
1:07 this part killed me....Ryan pls dont change ever xdddd
"so you have a movie for me?"
"No Sir I don't"
"You don't?"
"No... No... It's more like a cashgrabby thing"
ooh, cash grabbing is tight!
Fair enough! |-D
"Hmmm, I do like money"
@@justaddressmeasking6625 yeah yeah yeah!!
Ryan or Critical Drinker: "Naw, it'll be fine."
Best comment
Anyway that's all I've got for today. Go away now!
I understood that reference
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well
Critical Drinker is awesome.
these pitch meetings are literally the sunshine to my day, OHRLY?
Writer-Guy: "I freaking love hamsters!"
Somehow, I am not surprised.
"Face Off" pitch meeting!
"Well now that the movie is over, I bet its gonna be real tough for him to get his face back since the special dr that did it is dead now?"
"Actually, it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience."
"Oh, really?!"
"Yeah. He just gets it fixed, it's all good."
"They didn't have to search at all for a capable doctor willing to perform a face transplant?"
"That's what we're going with."
"Well okay then!"
Bravo! That was a good one.
I had a similar one for "The Wizard Of Oz".
@@charleslee8313 A pitch meeting for Wizard of Oz would be a trip! I hope we see it someday.
This sounds exactly like something from a pitch meeting
@@Vyufta1 This was the "super easy" joke I had for it:
"Well, with Dorothy's chances of getting back home literally flying away, it must be rather difficult for her to return to Kansas."
"Actually, it's super easy; barely an inconvenience."
"Oh, really?!"
"Yeah, Glenda told her to click her heels together three times, and think 'There's no place like home,' then she's back."
"Wait... so this good witch could have told her this information ages ago? She should be the bad witch."
That movie makes face transplants seem super easy, barely an inconvenience. By the end of the movie they've swapped faces more than once, and they never even have any bruising, swelling, stitches, or scars. Not even a recovery period.
Even at 14 years old, I knew Sindel's acting was at porn movie levels.
that acting and CGI is taring me apart Lisa!!!!
I've seen porn with good acting lol 🤣
Musetta Vander. In the late 90s, she was a go-to hot girl on a budget. To be fair, she was pretty hot.
...I'm not going to ask how much porn acting you had seen at 14 to warrant that comparison.
@@tyrionlannister4920 oh hi khan
"Too bad YOU, will die"
The most cringe line ever
"Too bad YOUR...movie will suck!"
I feel the need to point you towards "oh God, oh no, oh God, oh no"
Or Trolls 2: “Oh My Goooood!
Pretty sure "Rey Skywalker." is worse.
Not even as bad as some of the lines from "Revenge of the Sith."
I've watched all the pitch meetings. This one had me laughing my ass off more than any other. Your writing ,the acting with the "I don't care attitude" added with the clips of this awful movie were pure gold. Thank you, I haven't laughed like that in awhile.
Isn't there a pitch meeting for the 1995 mk movie? I can't seem to find it, but I swear I remember it
The Super Marios pitch meeting is great for the "I just don't care" attitude.
Skipping return of the king is super easy barely an inconvenience
Ugh yes i must have. And all the horrible hobbit movies
Subverting expectations is TIGHT!
I bet that will be released next week
@@coreyw5981 They really weren't "horrible". Just not nearly as good as the Lord of the Rings.
I'd like you to get off Ryan's back about that.
Damnit, I put a lot of effort and alcohol into forgetting this movie existed.
Same. It's almost as bad as losing the game.
😂😂😂😂
Lmao!!! Ryan just basically gave an explanation of why the movie did not make any sense to high school me. Lol!
" It's probably fine..." - Modern Hollywood in a nutshell.
Just came here after new Mortal Kombat 2021 trailer.....
PG: so what's the story?
WG: oh none of that.
PG: wow wow wow wow, movies without stories are tight.
I remember my friends and I watching thinking, “nah, Johnny Cage ain’t dead. He’ll come back any second now....”
“I hope the actress really nails that line.”
Lol!!
You have GOT to do a Pitch Meeting for the new Mortal Kombat...its like a movie made for this specifically
Please Do “Flash Gordon” 1980, or “Masters of the Universe”
I absolutely need a t-shirt that says "I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about that". Make it happen, please
Seconded.
Yes please!
Yes
I'm pretty sure you yourself can make that happen.
@@g.w.7893 I don't want to make it happen...I want him to benefit off of his own work by providing a t shirt for me to buy
Nightwolf was actually done really well, the transformation looks cool
I love the way Ryan writes words languagilistically!
"He also died in the first movie. Is this also his brother?"
"I do - I don't care" 😂
“So what’s the story”
“Ah no non of that”
Lynden : ''Ehh...no sequel for me.''
Bridget : ''Nope! Just remembered i've got that..other thing going right now.''
Christopher : ''No thank you.''
Robin : ''.... *sigh* .... ok. Sure.''
Pressing LIKE the moment i hear "so you have a movie for me" LOVE IT!
Director: "Are you sure you can handle the dragon special effects?"
Effects guy: "Oh yea. It'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience."
"He passed that test earlier, right"
"The one where he held himself back from sleeping with a woman he had literally just met"
I mean that's not always super easy, barely an inconvenience
But t can be tight.
I would have failed that test.
I've failed that test a few times.
@@Jebu911
Easy test to pass.
Skarlet
I love that you covered this. Love love love that you covered this movie!!
LMAO, the "What?" part at 3:10 got me man
I was literally not interested in this movie but I freakin' wanted a Pitch Meeting of it.
It was an abomination nearly on par with Dragonball Evolution.
@@RobotHau5 That's true.
Same 😂😂
Christopher Lambert wouldn't return, and he did those Highlander sequels. Hey I never saw Speed 2, but Keanu Reeves didn't return and he did those Matrix sequels
He and Sean Connery were contractually obligated to do Highlander 2. Which they both disowned before the film was even released. They knew how bad it was.
@@comicbookfanboy2183 As bad as it was, it still wasn't as bad as the following sequels.
At least the TV series was good.
@@dreamlandnightmare I'd say the third movie is better than the second, not that that's a high bar to get over. The plot was pretty much just a rehash of the first one, after all. But you know, when your first movie's premise is "There can be only one" and at the end there is only one, maybe, just maybe, movie-wise, there should only be one ;)
@@dreamlandnightmare The Matrix sequels were infinitely better than the Highlander sequels. The only redeeming factor of the Highlander sequels are the individual actors in them such as Chistopher Lambert, Michael Ironside, Mario Van Peebles, Virginia Madsen, and Mako.
What are these Highlander sequels you are all talking about? There's only one. There can be only one!
These are always fantastic, I could watch one of these for every popular movie. Keep up the great work.
I loved it. This movie was actually requested by me, and I am the guy that also loves the “get all the way off my back” line that is used in the Pitch Meetings. Thank you so much.
"....and then all the stock footage of the earth starts to look great again...." this kind of summarizes the quality of the movie.
Writer Guy: "I really like hamsters!"
Pretty sure most of the production's crew really liked gerbils, too. =/
@Charlie Vetsworth google "richard gere gerbil" =)
@@jamesanthony8438 I hate you now
arinze
@@jamesanthony8438 it's proven false by snopes.
@@18bluecat And some trailer-trash couple in a mobile home with access to Google are leading world experts in fact-finding... how again? How often are 'snopes' ever actually right about anything? They've got the same success ratio with facts as the main stream media... and that ain't much. =)
My favorite part of the movie is when they reuse a piece of footage. I believe it was when shao khan hit rain with a hammer and he fell into a pit of flames and then somebody else goes in there and it’s the same footage of rain falling into the fire.
My favorite was Raiden and Reptile fighting each other with ballerina twirl kicks.
And now we got a new Mortal Kombat movie that may do them justice!
Probably not
Power Rangers movie
Charlie's Angels 2019
Chappie
Short Circuit
Actually, Charlie's Angels,no matter what year.
+1 for short circuit!
God, yes. Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, ESPECIALLY.
I'll throw _The Adventures of Pluto Nash_ in there too.
Short Circuit is OFF LIMITS. I like my childhood...
Mortal Kombat Pitch Meeting??? This is gonna be TIGHT!
Well done mate keep these videos coming 😂👌
I think that Mortal Kombat had really cool music.
*Do already "Idiocracy"!* That movie, or rather the Documentary deserves a pitch meeting! That would be tight.
That movie's concept frightens
Moves resembling reality are TIGHT !!!
Yes, he should "do already" the "moves" about the world getting dumber lol. Also, Random capitalization is tight! 🤭😁😉
OMFG RYAN YOU TOOK MY SUGGESTION TO DO THIS MOVIE
YOU ROCKKKKKK!!!
@3:55
Fun fact: The guy doing the fighting as Raiden is Ray Park, Darth Maul himself.
I got stuck in a loop at the syndell part.... That acting is true gold
I died at "writing langualigistically"!! How the hell do you come up with these stuff for the videos?? Freaking genius! 😩😂😂😂
"Hair dressing gods are tight".. Actually I need a God who can grow my hair back.. 😥😥
I love these! It would be really cool to see Equilibrium and Up!
Im so pumped for the new one!
