Kombat Bloody Kombat

Ha ha that was awesome. I love how this edit is still the classic Mortal Kombat in all its greatness, only where it took itself seriously and what didn’t age well with time, is instead embraced with over the top sensibilities that only compliment and enhance the overall story! Not always a fan of Grindhouse movies when they are just done for the sake of trying, but this movie seems like the Grindhoused version actually honors the original idea more, and i can’t recommend it enough. Just great fun and packed with Easter eggs!

Seen KBK through a good few times now. Its got massive rewatchability. Such a treat this. I rate it +10 BLOODS!!

I'd love to be able to comment on the tracklist but I've got a sieve brain when it comes to song titles. Its all on point and nostalgic. I find myself with only one suggestion for the visuals and that is with regard to the Grindhouse effects. Gieferg clearly puts alot of effort into these. It strikes me that the Buddhist temple scenes have alot of washed out sky that could be made interesting with a black blob like a dark sun appearing ominously. The film degradings then playing a role!

It did occur to me too that with the excellent Stallone AI voice cloning in RTFB we might get something for Lambert (Raiden, aka The Highlander). Gieferg says this will be a good idea for a prologue with footage from 'The Quest' and the modern rehashes. Maybe one of his off-the-wall trailers. If anyone can do AI voice cloning WE NEED U!!!

I love the subversive affections of the soundbites. And really, really love the adroight picture adjustment used to blend everything together so nothing feels out of place. Abstraction is the undercurrent. Just sit back a enjoy the ride.

If this doesn't hit top spot in FEOTM there is something wrong here. Beautifully measured. Professionally executed. Opitomy of a fan's labour of love. Fan mixes, fixes, and preservational upgrades are all well and good. Here we go beyond all that. The perpetuational retrogrades arena is where this stands. Films that begin to look naff getting a future proofing with a supercharger dose of the good oldyness.

Looking forward to the next episode in the 'Grindhoused' series!!!

Very creative. A true grindhouse experience. Scenes from movies I've watched when I probably wasn't meant to be allowed to were nicely injected into the edit. I was genuinely surprised when scenes from the second MK movie showed up - that was unexpected. But well done.

The visual and audio effects were on point and worked well to deliver that grindhouse feel. The gags were funny, as well.

Good job. Good edit.

This edit was amazing as a big mortal Kombat fan. The grindhouse style works really well. You completely caught me off guard with the annihilation part and thanks for using my Mortal Kombat: Shalion Monks idea for scorpion.

Mortal Kombat 95 is a fun film, it's still the best MK adaptation so far, but it lacks that vulgarity, that brut violence, and the squeaky humor that made the games so special. That's where Mortal Bloody Kombat kicks in to level up that bland PG-13, into a Hard R-Rated flick (I insist on the "Hard"), this edit keeps the charm of Paul WS. Anderson's original movie, while gives the overall picture, a more adult-oriented feel, by inserting various scenes from different movies involving the actors, these scenes are extremely well put together, and marvelously flesh out the characters; Johnny is a womanizer who abuses his status as a Hollywood actor to sleep with women, filling them with false promises, only to throw them like garbage after the sexual intercourse. Shang Tsung is a more disturbed and twisted monster who literally takes sexual pleasure in murder. The fight between Kano and Dolph gives more meat to Sonya's quest for vengeance. Mixing movies is a tough job, kudos to Gieferg for making it work here!
The new score is absolutely dope, I really enjoyed recognizing some of the old martial-arts movies tracks here and here, more nostalgia is always a good thing. My only complaint (it's a minor one) is that I would've liked it if Techno Syndrome could've stayed and been used somewhere, even if it was in the final credits.
Anyway, Kombat Bloody Kombat is pure fun, a pleasing experience for MK fans and Grindhouse amateurs. Highly recommended.
