American Magic: A Different History of Disney

[OldNavy1988]

Whats next

Harry Potter and Narnia sequels.

 

[kinnikuniverse]

Released for Thanksgiving 2002 by New Line Cinema.

The release of MK3 coincides with the release of the Deadly Alliance game.

After a lengthy prologue that explores Kitana's childhood and the chaos of the Outworld's conquest of Edenia, the film opens with a brawl between two rival gangs. Kabal (Ray Park) leads the Black Dragons into battle against the Red Dragons, led by Mavado (Benicio Del Toro). As the two sides are about to clash, Kenshi (Daniel Southworth) catches both gang leaders.

Kenshi engages Kabal, but Mavado tries to escape, only to be stopped by Sonya (Brigette Wilson) and Jax (Wesley Snipes). Raiden (Christopher Lambert) appears before Sonya can help Kenshi apprehend Mavado.

At the military base, Raiden informs Sonya, Jax and Kenshi that the war for the realms has only begun. Because he broke his vow of neutrality, Raiden will be banished by the Elder Gods. So therefore, he cannot intervene when Shao Khan's henchman Quan Chi unleashes a deathless army on the Earthrealm.

Liu Kang (Robin Shou), Kung Lao (Jet Li) and Kitana (Talisa Soto) limp out of a portal and into the Arizona desert having sustained serious injuries from battle. The three later wake from unconsciousness at a Lakota Sioux village, where they are introduced to Nightwolf (Adam Beach). Liu Kang trains with Nightwolf in the ways of animality to defend against the incoming minions. Meanwhile, we are given more exposition on why Kung Lao left the Shaolin, along with more hints of Kitana's youth.

Over at the Lin Kuei temple, Sub-Zero is frozen in terror as he discovers a lab where the Lin Kuei have been assembling cyborg assassins. Sub manages to escape, but Scorpion pursues him, mainly to find out why the Shirai Ryu were wiped out by the Lin Kuei.

Quan Chi (Vin Diesel), Sindel (Regina King) and Ermac (voice of James Earl Jones) arrive at the temple. As the final battle begins, Raiden's inaction forces good and evil to form ally themselves to defeat Quan Chi once and for all. Now, it is up to Raiden to choose between maintaining his moral ambiguity or join the fight against Quan Chi.

Special thanks to @kinnikuniverse​

Thus ends the trilogy. Though judging by its popularity, there would be some inevitable spin-offs, and my gutsy feeling tells me that scorpion is gonna have his own spin-off.

How was the reception and reactions to the movie and the trilogy? How did it do at the box office?

@kinnikuniverse

Most critics and moviegoers felt MK3 closed out the trilogy on a high note. At the box office, it was a very weak Thanksgiving for movie releases, so MK3 scored a flawless victory over Revolution Studios' Eight Crazy Nights by a margin of 67% on its opening weekend.

 

[kinnikuniverse]

Dayum!! A video game movie that's not only good, but great, and having 67% of the receipts at the box office?

This really is an alternate universe!!

Can't wait to see a documentary on the entire trilogy! I feel that these movies truly are game changers in terms of making video games accepted by society alot earlier than real life, and they're no doubt the standard to follow for future game-based movies.

Yeah, but then again, no matter what studio brought out Eight Crazy Nights, someone was gonna regret green-lighting an Adam Sandler cartoon. ITTL, that someone was Haim Saban over at Revolution.

Would it be too much to have the biracial son/grandson of Alan Quartermain join the cast of the Monsterverse? That way we’ve got most members of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Shouldn't be an issue at this point.

Most likely the characters could be drawn closer to his style.
