I was looking for the movie mortal kombat annihilation, and I found a picture of Jade and SHE WAS ASIAN! I thought that her skin was dark?confused

Someone please explain this to me.

Movies are rarely ever right about anything, but in this case they are very wrong. This does stem from the days when Jade was basically just a pallet swap of Kitana and Mileena, and I'm not sure if she actually had dark skin in MK2 and MK3, but I think she does. For some reason, the movies chose not to acknowledge this, so she came out AZN. She's actually dark-skinned, and Edenian.

Its not the first time that the movies have messed up someone's nationality. Kano was originally orphaned by an American woman in Japan, and yet he wound up being Australian. That was hardly appropriate use of canon content.

Although I will admit he was good.

*puts on impersonation of Jim Carrey's role as the Riddler in Batman Forever* Judges........*makes incorrect sound* WRONG!

Jade is a dark skinned Edenian woman. In MK Annihilation, she was played by an Asian actress. That doesn't make Jade an Asian woman. The end.

Jade is never Asian. She is Edenian and as XiahouDun84 said, the movies are wrong. Also, Jade is completely out of character in the movie *sighs* what's up with the producers and the people writing the script for one of the most horrible movie "adapted from one of the best video games of all time"? sad

Kano was English, not Australian.
And did it really matter if they make Jade Asian? It doesn't really change her character.

Jade in MK Annihilation wasn't like Jade in the games in terms of character.

True, but that wasn't due to the actress being Asian.

Jade is portrayed as Asian in the game too. There are many south asians who are very dark almost black. They should have casted a darker asian for Jade.

Yeah a Filipino girl could play Jade. Yeah most white people think just because Jade is dark=black. Many Asians are almost black in skin color. Not all Asians are the stereotypical pale skinned chinky eyed and really short. Just because Sub-Zero is ice cold pasty skin doesn't mean he's a white boy! He should at least be half asian like Keith Hirabayashi. By the way I'm part asian, Cherokee, and Swedish. I am pasty white during winter and brown during summer. People don't think I'm a black person during summer or a white person during winter! Would it be funny if Liu-Kang and Kung Lao were played by white dudes? Would that ruin the movie? After all Scorpion is alwasys played by a white dude! It didn't ruin the movie!

It means, it's technically accurate that Cage died since he was killed in MK3.

I always thought Jade was black, but it would make more sense if she were from South America *for Earth standards, not edenian*. Kitana's hispanic, so I wouldn't be surprised if Jade was too *like Brazilian or something bi-racial like that*...
