This movie is going to suck. Maybe even more than the original's unless Seven of nine does a little sucking of her own.

Also, all surgeons are professional martial art experts especially the crazy ones.

Also why cant it be as easy as picking up a 7.62x51mm Polish bolt-action sniper rifle and blasting everyone away.

I have no idea really but wasn't this what Big Trouble in Little China was about

now that I think of it, yeah, kind of.  Jack Burton is this gung-ho womanizing American trucker, representing the american action hero, but he's teamed up with and fighting against a million mystical asian martial arts stereotypes, so despite all of that charisma, he's essentially useless to the team.  one scene comes to mind, where he runs into a room full of the evil fighters, hollers and fires his sub machine gun into the ceiling.  a piece of stone falls and knocks him out and the asian good guys run in and start kicking ass.  i think the idea was to throw a "Fool" character right into the middle of a humorless asian martial arts environment.  Jack does end up killing Lo Pan, however, in what is possibly one of the most anti-climactic final battles ever.  that's what i love about john carpenter, particularly this movie, The Thing, and Escape from New York.  he took a lot of the hero character stereotypes and very consciously exaggerated them while a lot of people were trying to take action films seriously.

I think we can all agree that the first Mortal Kombat film was the best videogame adaption ever. If you disagree you're just plain wrong.

This.

who was the security guard with the gun in the original game?  i always thought he looked like will ferrell.  they should put will ferrell in this movie.
