Mortal Kombat: Legacy Episode #3

Posted at 04/26/2011 02:21 AM EDT by

After concluding the genesis storyline of Sonya, Jax and Kano last week with episode #2 of Mortal Kombat: Legcay, this week a new chapter begins, featuring action hero Johnny Cage!

This episode has a noticeably different feel to it and opens in a style similar to E! True Hollywood Story. Johnny Cage (Matt Mullins) is a once famed action star searching to rebuild his legacy as a leading actor in the world of entertainment. Cage's ideas revolve around creating a reality show where he would physically disposed of criminals with actual martial arts rather than any staging whatsoever. Network executives shoot down this idea, but repackage Cage's idea and market it to another action star (Erica Cerra). This enrages Cage to the point where he attacks several members of the production crew and security. Cue Shang Tsung's (Johnson Phan) entrance. He offers Cage an "escape from everything" as the episode comes to a close.

In this episode, members of the cast and crew from MK: Legacy (Kevin Tanchaeron) as well as the Mortal Kombat video game development team (Ed Boon) make cameo guest appearances. See who else you can spot!

Seriously.. this series keeps getting better. Loved this episode.. gave Cage's story real depth.. and the casting of Cage and Tsung was perfect. They have done the human stories so well, cant' wait to see the supernatural and scifi eps :)

This was pretty brilliant. Matt Mullins did such a fantastic job in this. As iconic as Linden Ashby as Cage was, this takes the cake.

I really loved this... just disappointed that a few sour grapes had to go and force this into censorship.

Don't worry,it says uncensored version should be up on Friday. But yeah,fucking Youtube moralfags.

As perfectly cast as Linden Ashby was,Matt Mullins is doing an amazing job in this. The new guy who plays Shang,though... He'd have to do something out of this world,because Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa IS Shang Tsung.

Ashby still steals it for me personality-wise, but i did love this episode

So Johnny Cage is based on the guy that played the Green Ranger back in the 90's? That is what it felt like watching this. Best episode yet, but I still feel underwhelmed by the series as a whole.

Vast improvement! Great to see much better use of time and execution!
I wasn't wrapped with Mullins in the casting, but I think he suits the scaled version of the character they went with, and clearly brought great resources (footage) and skills with him. I'm kinda sad to see the JCVD template lost, but I guess they've never really made much of it. Fair enough.

Wasn't perfect. Could've been laid out a bit smoother, spent a little less time labouring on the footage pitch(es). I think you can feel Tancharoen's inexperience as a director, and obviously the budget, but it's really nice to see the time used better and the characters invested in more.

I wish Legacy had a bit more confidence to emphasise things specific to MK. It seems like a lot of the direction is coming from a self-conscious attempt to borrow aesthetics from colourless influences, but again, vast improvement. Interesting casting for Shang Tsung.

I looked him up on wikipedia, Brian Goodman is some actor/writer that co-wrote the movie What Doesn't Kill You. So, no go to being at NRS, apparently. :P

Shaun Lo doesn't work at NRS either. Neither does this Ed Goodman guy.

I wonder what that's all about.

I like that they parodied Matt's Kamen Rider work with a little bit of Jason David Frank thrown in.

Best one so far. Loved the ending.

I liked every bit of it except for the very end. Ed's cameo was great, Johnny's attitude and story... blew my expectations out of the park. I thought this series was gonna be shitty, based on the Rebirth demo reel, but I'm pleasantly surprised and am in full support of this series.

The only thing that had me raising an eyebrow was how Johnny Cage reacted when Shang froze all the shit around him. He seemed bored... needed to be more like "what in the holy mother of fuck?"

Also, why is the language censored? We just had someone punch someone's eyeball straight out of its socket and smear it on the camera. Why can't we hear the word "fuck"?
