In het algemeen zijn films die gebaseerd zijn op video game gewoon rond uit slecht, maar zo heel nu en dan verschijnt er een game flick die wel zijn roots eer aan doet. Denk hier bij aan Tekken (2010) of de eerste Resident Evil film uit 2002, die overigens op deze lijst staat, waar van Mortal Kombat (1992) toch wel mijn all time favoriet is. Dank aan forum lid Coola voor de tip.

2. Mortal Kombat - Another action film based on a fighting game. It released in 1995 and was directed by Paul Anderson. Taking characters from the game, the Mortal Kombat seemed to follow who was good and who was bad in the film. This one also kept a similar storyline with Shang Tsung attempting to destroy Earth. There was some Mortal Kombat II characters and elements mixed in. Despite critics bad reviews, fan loved the movie and a sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, was two years later. The CG in this one is bad in places, but considering when it was made you can't complain too much. It also didn't have graphic violence and gore like the games did but hearing Scorpion actually grab you and say "Get over here" made it worth watching.
