Moviehole.com reports that the forthcoming Mortal Kombat 3 will be a prequel, and will NOT feature any of the original cast including Robin Shou who portrayed Lui Kang in the first two films. With the departure of the original cast, and the film set long before the others, it begs the question of “who will be the hero?” well, that question has been answered. The hero of Mortal Kombat 3 will be none other than...
Sub-Zero.
Actor Robin Shou confirms this by saying “Apparently, Sub-Zero will be the new hero. How’d that come about? Nobody knows. As if my character never existed. The story supposedly takes place before Lui Kangs time. A prequel of prequel” The Unofficial Mortal Kombat 3 Page quoted Shou as saying. “I haven’t read the script but the word out there was… bad. I guess that’s why it’s taking this long for it to happen. I guess the main reason was that the producer didn’t want pay the original casts their regular fee so by taking out all of the original characters, replacing with new characters, so they could hire unknown actors for a cheaper price. That’s showbiz."
Still no word on whether or not actor Keith Cooke, who portrayed Sub-Zero in both films will reprise his role.
Rather than “who is the new hero?” I have a better question…
Why the hell is this movie even being made? Did anyone see those last 2? they were god awful, and the only remotely entertaining part about them was the theme song, that to this day still makes me want to punch something when I hear it.
This is just another example of milking the cow long after the milk has dried up.
The first one was a guilty pleasure at best. The second one made me strangle five puppies.
i thought the first one was definitely a guilty pleasure. the fights were good, ‘specially the one between johnny cage and scorpion, and they found ways to make the film pay off for those who played the game.
the second film is an abomination.
to go back to this after those two films shows how bankrupt hollywood is for ideas.
if you want to see the next big fight film, look up “the protector”, the new one form the guy who was in “ong bak”.
