Mortal Kombat
Aww, the Mortal Kombat movie was just on TV. I saw that in the theater when it came out. I [heart] me some cheesy SF movies. It has Christopher Lambert! Who, when I came upon the movie, was talking about immortals, so I figured it for Highlander, but no. (I'm still sort of confused as to how the immortals can be recruiting mortals to fight other immortals and how they expect the mortals to be able to kill them, but perhaps they explained it and I missed it.)
Oddly, the only part of the movie I actually remembered was the part at the end where Sonya was kidnapped and tied up and they removed much of her clothing. Because I was totally a straight girl. Um, yeah.
I should point out that Mortal Kombat was totally my fandom in about 1994. I played the games all the time; I even sent away for the comic book. I always played as Sonya in MK1, and I think I even beat the game; in MK2 it was generally Mileena or Kitana. Because who wants to play as the boy characters, I ask you?
Yes, I was a complete geek. I didn't get into the RPG-type video games until the end of high school; it was the fighting games all the way before then. My second-favorite fighting game, though I don't believe it came out until a little later, was Primal Rage. You know, the one with the dinosaurs. I had to go all the way to Fashion Island, the deserted shopping mall with the ice-skating rink, to play it -- the only other thing there was a big arcade. (In retrospect, my parents must really have loved me, huh?)
Speaking of my parents, my mother will be here Monday morning and the apartment is a total mess. Eep.
