Mortal Kombat (1995) (M) PRESENTED IN 35MM FILM

Mortal Kombat (M, 1995) Presented in 35mm Film by The Revival House Perth

Enter the tournament that will determine Earth's fate in Paul W.S. Anderson's electrifying 1995 adaptation that brings the legendary fighting game to visceral life. When the mystical tournament Mortal Kombat begins, three unlikely warriors - Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage - must face supernatural opponents from Outworld to prevent the sorcerer Shang Tsung from conquering Earth.

Anderson's kinetic direction captures the game's signature moves and fatalities while creating a mystical tournament atmosphere filled with practical effects and genuine martial arts choreography. From Sub-Zero's ice attacks to Scorpion's iconic spear throw, every fight sequence honours the source material's supernatural combat system. Robin Shou brings martial arts mastery to Liu Kang, the Shaolin monk seeking to avenge his brother's death, while Bridgette Wilson delivers fierce determination as Special Forces officer Sonya Blade. Linden Ashby provides perfect Hollywood swagger as action star Johnny Cage, who discovers that real fighting is far deadlier than movie stunts. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa commands the screen as the soul-stealing Shang Tsung, while the film's techno-heavy soundtrack perfectly matches the high-energy combat. The elaborate sets transform the tournament into a deadly spectacle where ancient magic meets modern warriors.
