Quotes

Announcer: In each of us there burns the soul of a warrior. In every generation, a few are chosen to prove it. Centuries ago, in a time of darkness and fury, that fate befell three strangers: a monk, Kung Lao... an exiled guard, Siro... and a thief, Taja, who have to defend our Earthrealm from the forces of Outworld by fighting for their lives by fighting for their honor and by fighting for their realm in a tournament called... Mortal Kombat.

Hit and miss

You know, when I first saw this show, I thought it was terrible. But then, for some reason, I kept watching it. I guess I'm just starved for kung-fu fighting, but don't really like watching Martial Law, too much.

Some of the fight scenes I saw were kind of bad, but some of the more recent episodes I saw showcased some excellent sequences. The acting and dialogue here will always be on the "not so great" level. But I guess it's only TV. As for story? Well, there doesn't seem to be much of a story. It's just 1) people are trying to kill Kung Lao 2)they have a fight 3) then we talk to Rayden at the end. And that's enough for me.
