Baraka Obama (A Classic) Al Goro and Sheeva Palpatine (The joke lives on) I've seen MK Annihilation way too many times for editing videos, and it effected my health.
Idk why they never took advantage of all the memey-name opportunities in the games, like Easter Egg Characters that are just like Skin Swaps ykno? Baraka Obama can just be Baraka, but it's Obama in a suit and use just like a soundboard 😂. Maybe too expensive? 🤷🏻♂️
My brother and friends and I fucked up the VHS tapes and blasted the music in scenes and beat the shit out of each other. I love it. These movies were amazing as a kid. They look shitty now but screw it it's legendary.
I don't have big sandwich, but I'll validate you; Ben's editing is def worth doing what you said. I just felt like I should give ya some validation, bc two people "noped" you lol🤷🏻♂️
They actually got Ed Boon to say that. He calls it the lowest point in the franchise's history and yet they still got him to yell "SUCKERS!" in the Scorpion voice.
This movie holds a very special and nostalgic place in my heart to the point where I manipulated my own memories to the point where this was on the same level with an avengers movie
Conquest isnt that bad and has a REALLY good final episode.. i will die on this hill edit: also the actor that plays Shao Kahn fucking kills it! (theres a bit where he has a traitor in his crew and he gets super paranoid and loses his shit, the actor is legit scary as fuck)
@fortnite4201 x : are you asking me on a date??!?! 😍 Lol... And also, I literally could be from anywhere in the world, might be a nightmare to arrange.. "So how do I meet you Richard?".. "Have you got a plane?"
The tv series Conquest did air in Australia and has one of my favourite endings of a tv show ever. I haven’t watched it since it aired in the middle of the night in the late 90s so don’t hold me on the accuracy.
I met Bryan Earl Thompson on a flight to Burbank a few months ago. I said, “Shao Kahn!” and I think he was surprised I didn’t recognize him from X-Files or something else. He told me about flying out to Jordan to shoot this film. Seems like a cool dude.
I saw this movie in theaters opening weekend. I remember people being super hyped for this movie for some reason. This was the first time I saw a movie so bad in theaters that I started laughing out loud, mocking it MST3K style with my brother the whole time. This and Spawn are probably the two worst movies I've ever seen in theaters, and therefore I have fond memories of them both.
I love the constant rambling and falling off the track to make sense while confusing unless you know the mates. Also the editing is one of the best on YT. Always makes me laugh
When i was 10 and watched this movie, i thought it was amazing. So many characters from the game, a lot of kick-ass music. Me now: bruh, this is cringe But the music is still kick-ass tho, i Don't care what anyone says
Honestly same, I thought it was good and cool Looking at it now I'm just like "why is ermac spawning a dark clone, is that supposed to be noob saibot or is it just a clone of ermac" This movie is basically just shit fanservice the movie. It doesn't really stand on it's own and to me it feels like you kinda have to sort of already know who the characters are and what is happening in general since half the cast are just glorified cameos who do little to nothing and the plot is speedrunning itself Also this might just be a me thing but I really despise the masks they used for the ninjas, they look so bulky and awkward and just so cheap looking But even after all that I still love it for how bad it is The soundtrack is pretty kick ass though, that's the only legitimately good thing about it
James Remar will forever be known to me as one of the main bad guys in "The Phantom," which is one of my guilty pleasures. Hey, there weren't a lot of superhero movies in the 1990s...
One night in college me and the homies watched both movies back to back and because our brains were so fried we all missed morning classes the next day
My lord, I didn't reallize how much the resolution of VHS made it so much easier to accept cheap effects as actually being "good" (or at least passable enough to allow MK to be my favourite video game movie until I discovered the RiffTrax of Super Mario Bros)
Ah yes, me usual Tuesday afternoon walk and the latest episode to walk by. I'm in Ireland so not SO far behind you lads as the US. Literally every Tuesday for last year and half I walk the same place and always have this keeping me entertained. Seriously lads you just get better and better. Your banter is legend and you NEVER ever get stale. You research your stuff so well and EFFORTLESSLY blend the entertainment and banter with the information. I could listen to ye for hours... And i have! You two can, without a doubt, do ANYTHING you want to. You obviously work hard and all but your relationship, the way you bounce off each other, both your individual personalities and that X factor you have is bottled lightening lads. Id bloody love a few scoops (or a big sandwich) with ye! Typical it's raining here but always love my Tuesday episode and walk. Keep up the amazing work lads! Much love and respect from 🇮🇪
MK Conquest did originally air in Aus ( at 3am during the weeknights), and was available on region 4 dvd for a brief time later on. Very similar production values to Hercules/Xena. If you want to see a good portrayal of Shao Kahn and a very dark ending, check it out!
Shao Kahn transforming into a crappy hydra with puny limbs and repeatedly going Zidane on an equally drunk Kang-Zilla was painful to watch: Ray Harryhausen would have made the animality fight look epic with stop motion creatures
This is great. Really enjoyed, cheers. Did you know that there's an alternate reality where many MK characters had their own film or tv series? 🧐 These are the ones I'm aware of so far - Smoke & the bandit. The Kabal Guy. Volkano. Thunder in Paradise. House of aNoobis. The Scorpion King. Jaxie Brown. Sonya BLADE. Star Trek: Wrath of Shao Kahn. Frozen... I'll show myself out ✋😅😂👉
I loved Mortal Kombat: Conquest. It was like Hercules + Mortal Kombat. It was a lot of campy fun. The series finale was one of the most shocking I have ever seen.
Yeah, I enjoyed the show for the most part. That ending though. I barely remember it, but I recall that they basically just killed everyone off. It felt like they got word that the show was canceled before the finished filming the season, so they said "fuck it"
@@FreshMetal80 It was meant to be a dream sequence that would be revealed in season 2 but with a second season not happening, the series ends with everyone dying. Which made it impossible for Conquest to be the movie prequel it was supposed to be, as movie Liu Kang was a descendant of Kung Lao, who dies with no kids in Conquest and also makes it not work as a game prequel because Lao was beaten by Goro and killed by Tsung in their continuity.
When this came out in theaters originally, I went and saw it on a matinee after I got off from work. I couldn't process how bad of an experience it was to the point where it just never occurred to me to even tell people don't see it. It was like driving long distance to somewhere not fun. You just don't talk about the trip because it doesn't matter.
You didn't mention the fact the movie is a workprint and was never finished. Test screeners gave a positive reaction and the studio ripped the money away and called it done and released an unfinished movie. I doubt it was going to be much better, but I thought that would have been some interesting Mortal Krivia.
@@brianparks4236 I don't know the specifics on that. It might be the case, but they could have never admitted to taking away some money. So the number out there may actually be what was going to be spent on the film instead of what actually was. Would be something I'd like to find out.
I remember this movie so much since I rented it at Blockbusters as a kid and was so thoroughly disappointed from it. I also remember it being in theaters and leaving so quickly.
That shot you guys made of the two scorpions standing next to each other. At least SOMEONE is getting use from those HD remaster sprites that sadly were never used.......
It’s been shown that even with another food source nearby, most garden snails prefer to eat from an area where another snail is already eating. Snail dinner dates!
The woman who replaced the role of Sonya Blade (Sandra Hess) also played Viper in the David Hasselhoff Nick Fury Agents of Shield film you guys reviewed lol
fun fact, as far as im aware, the original test screenings for this film had such an amazing response from the fans of the videogames when watching the rough cut of the movie, that when the vfx artists requested they do their second and final passes at all the effects shots, the produces just told them that they look good enough already.

My brother and friends and I fucked up the VHS tapes and blasted the music in scenes and beat the shit out of each other. I love it. These movies were amazing as a kid. They look shitty now but screw it it's legendary.
I start headbanging like Mario in that epic montage in the video for the first film.
“Mother, you’re alive!”
“Too bad YOU will die.”
A masterpiece of screen writing and acting right there
So you also got that recommend to you
12:39 mentions Ray Park playing Darth maul later in the future but shows and image of Darth Vader.
Yes. All is as it should be.
Vader is a confused as you are.
I was looking for this comment. Sheesh
They should do the Dead or Alive movie. That's both a fighting game, and would make James embarrassed if his wife walked in.
Just gotta hope he never reviews the live-action Tekken movies.
The Dead or Alive movie was far from terrible.
Might as well go all the way and commit to the terrible Tekken movie
@@cheeseburgerpaladin Nah, go lower: "Tekken: Blood Vengeance!"
I love DOA. It's definitely more self aware and fun than MK Annihilation!
The Ben from Canada cutaways are my favorite part of this series.

Ben is a NATIONAL TREASURE
@@toddblair5883 I'm actually mad he didn't give himself a cameo as the toasty guy in either of these videos. He's too humble for that I suppose.
The only “Shinnok” thing about Annihilation Shinnok is the fact that he has his amulet. That’s it.
“MORTAL OUTRAGE!!!”
Shinnok when he finds the director:
INFIDEL!
Anyone listen to this on Big Sandwich and come watch it here just to see Ben’s beautiful edit?
Nope
No
I don't have big sandwich, but I'll validate you; Ben's editing is def worth doing what you said. I just felt like I should give ya some validation, bc two people "noped" you lol🤷🏻♂️
Ben’s edits are the reason I wait the extra day.
I will also validate you by saying I do have Big Sandwich but I watch the CoG’s on here for Ben’s edits lol
Damn, Ben is seriously one of the best editors in the game!
Legend of the Game
The elemental chair hit so hard. Blew my mind.
Let's gooooo matesss
Edit: God, Ben outdid himself once again with this editing, absolutely phenomenal.
He literally has the perfect snipet and video for every word and phrase I don’t know how he does it 😂
Like how the editor shows Darth Vader when Mason talks about Ray Park playing Darth Maul
did no one else lose their mind when scorpion yells his classic catch phrase... “SUCKERS”
They actually got Ed Boon to say that. He calls it the lowest point in the franchise's history and yet they still got him to yell "SUCKERS!" in the Scorpion voice.
That TV Show with Kristanna Loken (future Terminator 3 T-X) was pretty fun in a cheesy way, at least that's how I remember it.
MK Conquest? it was passable. barely passable, but good enough.
MORTAL KONTENT!
Getting Sub-Zero to manage your finances is just asking for your assets to be frozen
I can never get over how derpy Shao Khan's mask is.
This movie holds a very special and nostalgic place in my heart to the point where I manipulated my own memories to the point where this was on the same level with an avengers movie
Conquest isnt that bad and has a REALLY good final episode.. i will die on this hill
edit: also the actor that plays Shao Kahn fucking kills it! (theres a bit where he has a traitor in his crew and he gets super paranoid and loses his shit, the actor is legit scary as fuck)
I enjoyed it when I first saw it too. I've never gone back & watched it, but I don't remember it being awful or anything.
The actor who portrays Shao Kahn in Conquest also portrays Raiden. He's awesome!
@fortnite4201 x : are you asking me on a date??!?! 😍 Lol... And also, I literally could be from anywhere in the world, might be a nightmare to arrange..
"So how do I meet you Richard?"..
"Have you got a plane?"
Shao Kahn’s mask was just a cheesy rubber skull that was fished out of a bargain bin in a Halloween store
The tv series Conquest did air in Australia and has one of my favourite endings of a tv show ever.
