They even wanted to give Kano a leather eyepatch originally, until Boon, Tobias and fan feedback essentially forced them to give him the proper metal one.dreemernj said:
As for MKA, only two aspects of anything related to that movie were any good, and they were the commercial and the soundtrack (and maybe the dragon symbol, kinda liked it since it incorporated the stone dragon from the first movie.) Everything, and I mean everything else was sheer rubbish.
What was good about the first film was the dark mystical aura, sort of capturing the theme of the first two MK games.
The third game had that apocalyptic vibe, perfect to build a movie around. Instead they forgot all that and catered to the Defenders of the Realm age group.
Supposedly, and I have read it online somewhere (anyone know where?), MKA had quite a different script. Unfortunately New Line rushed production - probably to captialize on what they thought was a dying franchise - and made drastic cuts, which resulted in them cocking everything up terribly, whilst targeting the 10 years olds that they thought were the only ones interested in MK. Yet I think they should have marketed towards those who were early teens in 1992, who had grown up by 97, and wanted to see the fatalities, blood and gore they missed in the first movie.
Blame New Line.

Anyone know what movie Sub Zero, Scorpion and Reptile's MK1 outfits were modelled on? The MK team got the inspiration from somewhere and I can't remember the name of the movie.
