Mortal Kombat Blu Ray

[Jlandsw]

It may not be cinema gold, but it's definitely one of the best, if not the best video game adaptation yet.

But the special features on it have to be better than what's on the DVD version. Because when it came out on DVD, DVD was still in it's prime so the special features are very minimal (Character bio's, a trailer). No Behind-The-Scenes, deleted scenes, not even a commentary track.

Hopefully, if they put it out, they do a DTS-HD Master Audio track.

I would also love for them to put out MK: Annihilation on Blu Ray as well. I know that it's a terrible movie, but I would love to hear what the director and actors think about it, 12 years later. I could definitely picture a commentary track where they rip the movie apart.

You have to understand that nobody wants to do all that work to make mediocre moves more enjoyable. Most movies nowadays get good treatment anyway, even if they're several years old. I want Mortal Kombat (1995) on Blu-ray but I don't need special features, you can dig them up on the internet.

Appreciate the enthusiasm.

Love this movie. Whenever it did come out it was on my birthday. I'd get it. Had an awesome soundtrack. "IT HAS BEGUN!!!!"

Some of the best cheesy movies ever, would definitely grab them if the price was right just for the smoking hot Katana.

I would love to see the series on blu-ray, or regular dvd even.

Speaking of Mortal Kombat, anyone else want to see "Beowulf" with Christopher Lambert hit blu???????????????????

Now that Blu-ray is pretty much the standard HD format, it would be great for Mortal Kombat to make an appearance. I remember when MK was first release don DVD, it was in a matted widescreen, which most of you know made no sense since DVD players could add the matted look for non widescreen TVs. They did finally release an anamorphic widescreen version, but it took to long as I lost interest knowing that a new HD standard was on the horizon. So yeah, bring on the PG violence. :-)

actually no, MK has NEVER had a U.S. anamorphic release , we're still waiting on even that. A bd would kick A$$!!,

Could have sworn there was, but like I said, lost interest in waiting.

Now why Mortal Kombat: Annihilation DVD is in anamorphic (or even made for that matter) we will never know. :-)

Figured I'd bump this thread back up since recently learning about the Alliance Blu Ray releases in Canada. I would still love to see these movies get released on Blu Ray, with some extra goodies.

I know there are a few making-of videos floating around somewhere. I remember seeing one for Annihilation on Starz I believe, many years ago.

I haven't seen the original since it was first released, I wouldn't mind owning it on BD (the sequel sucked though).

I do remember that I was disappointed with the CG animation of Reptile, and the puppetry of Goro (Jurassic Park set the bar too high I guess). However, I thought the fight scenes were good, and I liked the look of Sub-Zero and Scorpion.
