Aug. The film grossed $1. Mortal Kombat endured expensive reshoots, broken ribs and screaming executives during its journey from arcade to screen. That journey began when producer Larry Kasanoff was visiting some friends at Midway Games in June 1.
He'd previously worked with James Cameron, turning Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1. Among its crowning achievements was the T2 arcade game, a slick rail shooter that broke records for Midway. The guys at Midway showed Kasanoff Mortal Kombat, a new game they said would beat his T2 record. It was bloody, hyper- realistic and already a sensation at the arcade. But Kasanoff believed it was destined to be more than just a video game. He envisioned it as a phenomenon on the order of T2. He saw a TV series, stage shows, albums and movies all in its future.

Midway wasn't so sure.! IT'S JUST AN ARCADE GAME! Larry Kasanoff, producer: I played the Mortal Kombat arcade game in their office for half an hour. Nicastro and I said, . This is not just an arcade game. This is a whole phenomenon.!
It's just an arcade game! They didn't believe it. Because video game movies had recently failed, like Mario Bros., no one believed it. I finally just wore them down and they optioned the rights to me for an insanely short amount of time, which now I would never do, but it was my first deal at my company.
Ed Boon, Mortal Kombat co- creator: When the movie was being discussed, I remember not taking it seriously at first. What about this guy for that character? They'd already greenlighted the movie, and the studio head walked in with the script, threw it down on the table and said, .
Directors with whole lists of important, wonderful films. I really wanted to find someone who would have an innovative, fresh approach. I went to the CAA screening room to see Shopping.
I didn't know anything about it. I was totally blown away with the talent he had in it. They shot it on something like $1. K in the streets of London. Anderson, director: I grew up in a northern industrial town called Newcastle Upon Tyne, where there was no film industry.
I would come to London for meetings when I was trying to get my career off the ground. Quite often, I'd have a meeting at 1. I didn't know anybody in London, so all I would do is play video games for three or four hours at the arcade.
One of my favorites was Mortal Kombat. So when I heard they were making a movie of Mortal Kombat, most filmmakers were being a bit snooty about it. I was super- enthusiastic. Apelian: Paul would come in every single day with these amazing, creative ideas with how to shoot something or how to create some fantastical scene.
Because of our monetary restraints, we weren't able to do exactly what he was coming up with, but it would lead to something else. Anderson: I had no experience with visual effects, so I went to Samuel French's book store and I bought every single book I could find on visual effects, on matte paintings, on CGI. I had the jargon down.
It sounded like I knew more about CG than anyone else in Hollywood, even though I'd never been into a visual effects house. I kind of bluffed my way in, but I think they could see the enthusiasm.
THE KOMBATANTS ASSEMBLEAnderson enters preproduction in early 1. Kevin Droney still in progress. Hong Kong martial arts veteran Robin Shou is a top choice for Liu Kang — but landing the part proves to be a grueling process. Robin Shou, Liu Kang: It was the toughest casting process.
I was working in Hong Kong back then, but I was visiting the U. S. A friend of mine from an agency says, . A video game turned into a movie?
A good friend of mine kept hounding me, saying, . My agent friend had never heard of anyone who had to read seven times. I had to read for the producers, the director, the casting director, the line producer and then my final reading was with New Line.
They were really hands- on as far as picking this Asian Liu Kang, because he's an Asian lead and they're investing millions. It was grueling. Anderson: The script was kind of being written while we were in preproduction, which is a challenging thing, but it was a good thing, because it gave me the opportunity to help steer the direction. When it came to actually shooting the movie, I really encouraged the actors to ad lib quite a lot.
It was a lot of the humor in the movie. There's a lot of good humor, especially coming form Linden Ashby . Raiden was cracking jokes like a prankster, and I remember saying, . And we sat down and we reworked the script to the point that I think the writer was not really thrilled with us. And he introduced me to his date and goes, .
This is the asshole that ruined my script. We didn't write Hamlet or anything, but we had a lot of fun with it. Apelian: We needed to make the movie PG- 1. That was a tough one, being a very violent video game. We got in real close with the ratings board to find out how many curse words you could have, how much blood you can have. What we learned was if you killed a human onscreen, you got an R rating. What we needed to do was, any deaths that happened onscreen needed to be something other than a human.
If you look at our movie, you had Goro killed onscreen, but you could get away with that and still get a PG- 1. Kasanoff: I never thought we were making a movie based on the video game. I always thought what we had to do was imply that the video game is the first incarnation of some story that exists sort of one up the pyramid. I always thought there's a story that exists, and the first incarnation of that story was the video game.
Now let's go back to that story well and see how we can craft a movie from that. It doesn't contradict the video game, it adds to it. Apelian: We originally had Cameron Diaz cast as Sonya Blade. We were at New Line when The Mask was in postproduction, and Cameron Diaz was not a household name. We put her into training, because she had not really done this kind of martial arts work before. She broke her wrist right before shooting to the point where she couldn't do the martial arts stunts we needed.
We were very happy with Bridgette . It was great she was available. Bridgette Wilson- Sampras, Sonya Blade: The casting process was really long. I went back and auditioned and met with them so many times.
I kept going back and going back and meeting with Paul and Larry and the producers. Then I got Billy Madison. So I went and filmed Billy Madison and thought, . Then on my last day of filming on Billy Madison, they called me up asked, . But we understood at that time that he really wanted to golf.
He wasn't interested at that time in doing a physical role. For Johnny Cage, we needed to have an actor who could come across with the cockiness that the character required but still showed the humanity. Linden came in and had just the right combination of being that sort of cocky actor while still bringing humanity to the character and a warmth. I didn't want the women to be cardboard characters. They needed to have a strength and an independence and an intellect that went well beyond their beauty and being sexy.
They really were intelligent, strong women. Christopher Lambert, Raiden: I had lunch with Paul Anderson and Larry Kasanoff, and they offered me the part.
They gave me the script, and it was a fun script. Before I said yes, I watched Paul's first movie, which was great. Then with the hat, the robe, the white hair — all this was obviously building the character. In the movie, because of his powers, he doesn't need to train to practice. It was the one and only action movie you didn't have to train for.
Anderson: When you make your first Hollywood movie, there's a great danger as a young filmmaker that you will be overwhelmed by the scale of them. Having the big guy on set, the person who is being paid the most money, who is the biggest name, be someone like Christopher really helps you. He was laid- back, he was chill, and nothing was too much trouble for him. And that person sets the tone on the set. Because if it's not any trouble for him, it can't be trouble for anybody else. Boon: Christopher Lambert did a great job. He brought a lot of his own personal performance to it.
We were thinking so literally at the time. We were thinking Raiden is from Asian mythology. We never showed his face that clearly in the game, so we never really defined a race, but we didn't think . He was expensive, and he wasn't going to be able to come to Thailand because he would be going way over what we'd paid him.
So I developed this plan where we were going to do close- ups of Chris in L. A. Christopher, when he found out, said, . I'm coming to Thailand.
I'm sure his agents and manager and lawyer were furious with him, because he basically came to Thailand for free. When he was there, he paid for the wrap party as well. IT HAS BEGUNThe crew assembles for the first part of the shoot in Los Angeles before heading over to Thailand for the last month, where many of the signature scenes were filmed. Ashby: We started out in Santa Monica Airport, where we shot a lot. There's a bar down there on the south side of the field, and we used to go there Friday when we'd wrap.
There was a medic who was a funny guy, quirky. He was very into security on the set. He should have been a security guy instead of a medic. Tom Cruise had a hangar nearby and came over and was like, ? Tom was the guy in the Alien costume for Alien 3. Goro was a big creation, with a lot of computers and a lot of guys working around him.
He broke down a lot, and we would have to wait for him. Goro became the diva of the set. Everyone would joke about it and say, . We did little bits of CG enhancement to help with his lip sync and stuff. There was a production meeting where we discussed taking Goro to Thailand, and I said, . He's barely behaving himself in a studio in Burbank. I don't know what he'd do in Thailand.
Carlson, production designer: That guy had 1. The cables were going all over the place. One guy would be doing the eyeballs.
