“Movie: Mortal Kombat”

The videogame on which this 1995 adventure is based drew controversy for its ultraviolent content. For the movie, however, the violence is toned down, coming off more cartoonish than gory. Linden Ashby, Bridgette Wilson and Robin Shou play the three good-guy martial artists who are pitted against the evil forces of sorcerer Shang Tsung (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) in a battle for the future of humanity.
