yes, its jack burton’s truck in kim wu’s stage with a few minor cosmetic changes due to copyright 
also:
The Raid 1 and 2. if none of you have seen those martial arts movies, you are seriously missing out. holy crap
I have a super long-comment incoming soon. I can’t help but make comments on all your movie choices! 
I loved the raid 1 and have the raid 2 blu-ray lying in my to watch pile.
Also for who ever mentioned the 2014 Godzilla movie,…just bought it last month from birthday giftcertificates I still had lying around, after seeing the new Kong Kong trailer and it made me remember I still hadnt seen it, and I remember reading somewhere they are thinking about a Godzilla vs King Kong match-up as their next movie. Which should be, if nothing else, a sight to behold. So its also sitting in my to watch pile.
Used to be a time (about 2 years ago) where I saw every big movie that was out in the theater, now with my lil’ babygirl, I find myself watching a lot more movies on Blu-ray/Netflix. Even missed the last X-men movie and I never used to miss a superhero movie (except the latest Fantastic Four, love the characters to much to watch that trainwreck of a movie).
godzilla 2014 was alright, i liked it but its not anything id watch repeatedly. people did complain that he barely came out in the movie…but thats how all the movies are. lol
MK:A???
Really??? Are your expectations that low?
Nah. I just remember watching them as a kid, so i recently went back and re-watched them.
They hold up.
Everyone says they are bad, but what in the world do you expect from a MK movie? The answer is:
-Hype fights
-Hype music
-Hype scenery/stages
-All your favorite characters
-Crappy tongue-in-cheek effects
These movies have all of that! They serve their purpose just fine!
I personally think that everyone is just jumping on board the “cringe” band wagon these days. Everyone looks WAY to hard for chances to “cringe” because they think its cool. They expect everything to be perfect. People are starting to think that there is no such thing as an acceptable or understandable flaw.
(If you really want to dig deeper into this psychology, there IS an area of our lives where you can see the benefit of the “cringe mindset” not existing… Indie games. The best titles in gaming history have come from the indie area, and they all have major flaws or lack of quality, but it is perfectly acceptable, even sometimes purposeful, to be have those flaws.)
I disagree… You can certainly enjoy what you enjoy but I can’t find anything redeemable about MK:A.
The original Mortal Kombat was a pleasant surprise and believe it or not it is my Grandmother’s all time favorite movie (no joke). While it certainly has its flaws and the effects can be sort of cheesy (at least by today’s standards), it had a great story. Cool actors, and Cary Tagawa was just crazy amazing as Shang Tsung.
New Line Cinema took the amazing plot of the MK/MK2 games and created a really great film. (at least if you were a teenager, like I was).
MKA was quite the opposite. They took away all the cool quasi-real fight sequences that were so cool in the first film and turned them into gutter CGI fests. I doubt Robin Chow actually had to use any real martial arts this time around. While the music was SUPERB everything else was less than OUTSTANDING… (great Shao Khan’s voice is in my head)…
The story was all over the place. In fact it was so bad that half of the original cast, including Christopher Lambert, jumped ship. Most of the MK cast you talk about were reduced to minor speaking roles… Literally cameo after cameo… Hell Kabal and Striker were simply mentioned by Rain of whom died one of the dumbest deaths ever.
Honestly MKA reminds me of what happened to the MK games after MK: Deception. It was all about money grabbing with no care for quality.
MK is still a great film (I have both scores too!) but MKA… ugh… I still can’t complete the film. Once was enough.
I loved the first Mortal Kombat, and actually liked the second, it was a case of so bad it is good (and plain love seeing the characters on the big screen, also loved seeing Johnny Cage snapped like a twig as an afterthought BTW)…only thing here is that they kind of went overboard too much with wanting to make it look big, because the budget to do that was totally not there…kind of what would happen if IG made a season 3 story mode like Mk 9 but with the budget they have now…
Anyways, Mortal Kombat was a fine movie and Annihilation a guilty pleasure…
Godzilla 1984 is coming out for blu-ray in september
Gonna try and snag that and the remaining to godzilla films before hastings closes for good over here in my home town
Godzilla 1984/5 is one of the best Godzilla movies out there. It was very mature compared to some of the earlier films and was more akin to the original Gojira than the more campy stuff. What is really neat about Godzilla: The Return is that Hollywood effects people worked on Godzilla look really evil. It’s a great film, if not a bit slow. I’ll be buying that one day one.
I’d also like to mention Kick ■■■, Kick ■■■ 2 and Kingsman: The Secret Service, loved seeing Colin Firth in that awesome church scene 
Talladega Nights
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS!!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
