Looks like I won't have to get the Canadian MK1 blu-ray after all

And yeah, I'm shocked WB thinks they'll sell any copies of the second film... or at least many. In all honesty, I thought WB was going to produce one of their barebone double features for these films... that's the only way I would've had a copy of the second film.

Well, apparently it's only going to be $20 retail, so perhaps a $15 pricetag at Best Buy sounds about right. Not bad for the film in HD, the "guilty pleasure" of Mortal Kombat: The Journey Kontinues (most likely just in SD, as I doubt any of it was mastered with HD in mind for the future), and the Jade DLC costume for the PS3 edition of the new game.

Good news for me. I was an MK fiend when I was young. I played in the arcades all the time, enjoyed the movies (at the time), and even went to Mortal Kombat shows in theaters.

yojoeski · 02-01-2011, 01:59 AM

This has made my day. Not because the films are coming to blu-ray in the US, but because I predicted they'd be out on or around the date of the new game's release and all 3 are coming the same day. The only thing I wish were included would be the MK: Rebirth trailer on one of the discs. Doesn't matter which movie has it but it would be nice to have seen it included.

Minimejer05 · 02-01-2011, 02:05 AM

Awesome news! Will be getting both.

HD Goofnut · 02-01-2011, 02:53 AM

This is great. Mortal Kombat is finally going to be in 1.85:1 and anamorphic.

BillieCassin · 02-02-2011, 12:25 AM

I just can't believe it, but when I saw this I was like, "Um....OK, I'll buy that" LOL.

I don't think I'll be pre-ordering, but when it goes sub-$10 I'll pick it up.

BluRayMan69 · 02-02-2011, 01:43 AM

so i am presuming these movies are getting a whole new transfer and not retaining the awful Alliance ones?

Agent Bond · 02-02-2011, 03:01 AM

The Alliance transfers look great. The only drawback is the Dolby Digital audio on the first film. The second has a strong DTS-HD MA track.

Oh yeah. The second movie is beyond awful. One of the most amateurish, cheap looking, poorly acted and scripted wrecks of a movie I've ever seen. And yet, it's incredibly entertaining (for all the wrong reasons). I recently re-watched it to see if it was as bad as I remembered it being. Yes, it is. Possibly worse. But I laughed harder than I do watching most comedies. It's on par with Plan 9 from Outer Space in my book. I might just buy a copy if it's cheap enough.

seigneur_rayden · 02-01-2011, 04:33 AM

Count me in as a happy camper. I can't wait to get them.

Agent Bond · 02-01-2011, 04:51 AM

Here we are 16 years later and Mortal Kombat is still the best live action video game ever made! I can't wait to get my Blu-Ray version.

Belmont · 02-01-2011, 06:03 AM

Count me in for the first one, which is still great fun all of these years later.

MK: Annihiliation was terrible at the time, and has only gotten more laughable as the years go on. That being said, the soundtrack was pretty rad.

Anglik · 02-01-2011, 12:01 PM

Batman1980 · 02-01-2011, 11:52 PM

The chick in these is so hot and the action is so cheesy, as long as they're $10 each, they're mine.

bone crusher · 02-07-2011, 07:41 AM

Are the Canadian versions of MK in the wrong aspect ratio? If so I'm going to snag the US release.

MCT · 02-07-2011, 08:33 AM

the Canadian versions are in the correct aspect ratio and in 1080p. Only problem is, MK1 has a normal lossy track, while MK2 has DTS-HD.
