Marcus NezHOST
You're one bulky buff lady commander.
Marcus NezHOST
I couldn't get past the fact that, to me, she looked like Goro, but a woman and with two arms instead of four.
Marcus NezHOST
You might be saying to yourself, well, Isn't that just Mileena or whatever the female Goro is? No, that female Goro character from Mortal Kombat is much leaner.
Marcus NezHOST
This Avian character, very bulky.
Marcus NezHOST
Didn't have a problem with the bulk.
Marcus NezHOST
I just had a problem with the fact that her face reminded me of Goro.
Marcus NezHOST
But all of the characters have very, very, very little personality.
Marcus NezHOST
The script isn't doing them any favors.
LeeHOST
Mark Webb's here with me, and, uh, he's been practicing his scary face.
Mark WebbHOST
I have, Lee, and it's still nowhere near as scary as Goro with his forearms.
Mark WebbHOST
Mortal Kombat was the game every kid in the country was whispering about that autumn, mostly because of the blood, and I can't wait to see how each console coped with it.
LeeHOST
Here's why today's the day.
9 MINS LATER
Mark WebbHOST
Sadly, the company went bust the following April, so it never got a proper go at Sega and Nintendo.
LeeHOST
So Mortal Kombat, it was Midway's arcade game from August '92, made by, uh, Ed Boon and, uh, John Tobias, and the fighters were all digitized from real actors.
LeeHOST
You pick from seven, like Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion, in a tournament run by, uh, a sorcerer called Shang Tsung, with the four-armed Goro, uh, waiting near the end.
LeeHOST
And when you won, you could finish the other fighter off with a fatality.
KevinHOST
I tried it on the brick version and golly, it was just it was not attractive.
KevinHOST
Goro looked OK, I guess.
KevinHOST
like his arms but otherwise it was very hard to see anything it's it's the brick it was taupe and gray so like there wasn't much to it
JeffHOST
watch your expectations on the game boy gotcha
BradHOST
No, that's, that's totally fair.
BradHOST
Yeah, I, uh, I'm going back to look at the, uh, the character listing on the first one and, uh, we didn't bring Mileena or Nitara or Kabal or Goro back, and that's, that's about it.
MarkHOST
That's right.
MarkHOST
Motaro was in the fucking f- first one.
Joe McCormickHOST
That's right.
Robert LambHOST
Um, you know, I, I feel like I'd be foolish not to, uh, put my money behind Goro.
Robert LambHOST
He's the reigning champ.
Joe McCormickHOST
Oh, yeah.
Robert LambHOST
And he has extra arms, so, uh...
Robert LambHOST
And can also shoot fireballs.
Joe McCormickHOST
fireballs.It is, it is hard to describe the disappointment you're gonna feel in the Goro's-got-gnarred scene.
Robert LambHOST
Yeah.
Joe McCormickHOST
That's right.
Rob LambHOST
Um, you know, I, I feel like I'd be foolish not to, uh, put my money behind Goro.
Rob LambHOST
He's the reigning champ-
Joe McCormickHOST
Oh, yeah
Rob LambHOST
... and he has extra arms, so, uh... and can also shoot fireballs.
Joe McCormickHOST
It is, is hard to describe the disappointment you're gonna feel in the Goro's-
Rob LambHOST
[laughs]
Joe McCormickHOST
... got gnarrd scene.
Jamie GuyHOST
And the boss characters in this game is basically like Timu Shrek and Swamp Thing.
Jamie GuyHOST
They show some design intent, but the rubber Goro from the Mortal Kombat movie is the kind of vibe that you get off of this and in all of the wrong ways when it comes to their character designs.
Jamie GuyHOST
um so like that's this one character that's essentially the kalima heart grab temple of doom guy from indiana jones and in both his design and his fatality um it's just stolen ip basically and they just chuck him in here um so he would be he'd be the number one pick i guess for smash simply because he's kind of based in a movie that was successful but i No, none of these, no, no one should come near them as far as Smash Brothers go.
Jamie GuyHOST
This is just an absolute fail with an underline on it for me.
JeffHOST
Wow, that's fucked up.
KevinHOST
Does Goro kill Kung Lao?
JeffHOST
You'll see.
KevinHOST
Yeah! Oh, sorry.
52 MINS LATER
JeffHOST
It's on that out there.
JeffHOST
I... watching this live from years ago and then watching my DVD set when I got it like I think you're gonna like how this ends and you're not gonna like how it ends at the same time you're gonna be like oh that's dope oh you motherfuckers
KevinHOST
well I know technically it should end with Goro defeating Kung Lao and becoming the next champion they
JeffHOST
do show his species in this show though
Joe McCormickHOST
Um, and then of course you had your non-playable villains in the game.
Joe McCormickHOST
One of them is Goro, who's this big scary guy who's huge, and he has four arms instead of two.
Joe McCormickHOST
Uh-
Robert LambHOST
Mm-hmm
7 MINS LATER
Joe McCormickHOST
Oh
Robert LambHOST
... at the time on MTV.
Robert LambHOST
But, but then the other thing is I expected to be really excited about the film's practical effects, namely the Goro effects, and this didn't hit the right notes for me either.
Joe McCormickHOST
W- yeah.
Joe McCormickHOST
Um, and then of course you had your non-playable villains in the game.
Joe McCormickHOST
One of them is Goro, who's this big scary guy who's huge, and he has four arms instead of two.
Joe McCormickHOST
Uh-
Rob LambHOST
Mm-hmm
7 MINS LATER
Joe McCormickHOST
