I thort chris did an awsome job every time i watch it and he goes " the fate of billions rests on your shoulders hahahaha sry " im on the floor laughing my ass off

im a big fan of james remar i think he should of been more like ajax wen he played raiden in the second film now that would have been priceless lol

Meh.

I don't like funny Raiden.

Its sad that alot of people missed out on mortal kombat:conquest. Jeffery Meeks who played both Raiden and Kahn is waay better than Lambert, he was dark and serious with just a DASH of humor(but rarely)

I think Christopher Lambert did a great job playing Raiden - the voice was perfect for that of a thunder god.


James Remar and Ray Park were okay. There were a couple of good quotes there:

"Who's the girl? Can she fight as good as she looks?" (About Jade)
"I am proud to die...a mortal.....like you." (Raiden's dying words)
"Was I dead?"

My answer: "No, Raiden, you just kinda fell asleep after that seven-second fall...and it only took you forty-eight seconds once you hit the ground - god of useless."

Don't ask why I timed that event nine years ago, or why I still remember the results.

I know a Raiden fan who doesn't like Annihilation because Raiden dies.
It's one of my favorite scenes.


In Conquest, Raiden was one messed-up thunder god, sometimes irritating Kung Lao and his friends.

I remember one time; Siro was working with things that could explode if he wasn't careful.. Raiden comes walking in quietly, then he's like, "Hey!". Siro jumps and Raiden gets scolded for it because Siro almost blew up the table on which he was working.

It's actually Jeff Meek in case anyone's checking on that.

I loved both Lambert and Meek as Rayden. Both really, really great in their own way. If I had to cast one for an MK movie, I wouldn't be able to.

Meek was the guy.

One of the my personal favourite humouristic lines in Conquest was this:

Raiden is quite drunk in his mortal form and is bringing a prostitute to the trading post. He knocks but nobody answers, so he strikes down the door with a lightning blast, and the prostitute is like "wooow Ray! How'd you do that?" and Raiden's unforgettable line "That was just a taste of my sparking personality!".


Awesomeness.

Yeah, Lambert and Meek did a great job in Jack Burton's opinion...I'm just a bit skeptical as to whether or not they should bring back Lambert to portray Raiden in the next MK movie...I did the math on his age, and he's getting up there, I won't lie. I'd really love to see Raiden in more fight scenes because he's my favorite character. That was one of the only positive things I had to say about the second MK movie, that Raiden actually had two big fight scenes.

If they do go with Lambert, I won't object at all, but again...fight scenes would be awesome.

And THAT'S what Jack Burton has to say at this time.

["Raiden is quite drunk in his mortal form and is bringing a prostitute to the trading post.

How'd you do that?" and Raiden's unforgettable line "That was just a taste of my sparking personality!". ]

That explains so many things.

The woman called him "Ray" because she was too dim to pronounce Rayden's name correctly (she said "Raymen"). It's not that hard to say, really.

Lambert was awesome, i loved his humor and thought it actually helped the film give it a sense of fun.

His serious acting was also worth wile and i hope he is recast for MK3

I don't really want anyone but Lambert in the role, to me he just is Raiden.

I loved his humour and his voice/laugh.

Christopher Lambert is the bomb. hes the first raiden I seen so its glued into my head. he IS Raiden in my eyes. anybody else just doesnt look rright, his face and the hat are one and one.
