the fight choreography was first class for it's time back then but the acting was shit for anytime love this show to death other than wresting me and my friends would emitate wmac fighter we would have matches I would always make my lil bro be the ninjas lol
get this, not only was ho sung pak in mortal kombat, but so was chris cassamassa who was red dragon, hakim alston who was the machine, and richard branden who was ying yang man. ho sung played both liu kang and shang tsung. cassamassa was scorpion
Ya that is liu kang alright. I think he would make a awsome Liu kang if they decided to make another Mortal Kombat movie. If not him then Steven Chow from Kung fu hustle would also make a Great Liu Kang. Am I right people?? lol
He would be an excellent Liu Kang. Jason Scott Lee from the Jungle Book and Dragon: The Bruce Lee story was going to originally be selected as Liu Kang in the Mortal Kombat movie. They also thought about Brandon Lee and Jean Claude Van Damme to play Johnny Cage too in the film.
But the cool thing is, is that the Machine Hakeem Alston got to work with both Movie Liu Kang(Robin Shou) and Videogame Liu Kang(Ho Sung Pak)
WMAC masters was a tv show that aired from 1995-1996 and was totally choreographed. However, many of the masters on the show were actually stunt performers from various tv shows and movies, like Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or championship martial artists. However, WMAC Master's premise was to show how the martial arts could build character and morality.
actually it was choreagraphed like most tv shows are but all it was, was a show to not only entertain with Martial arts but to teach the kids the important things in life.
it also made kids believe it was kinda like UFC...but as everyone else said, totally choreographed.
i thought at the time though, "Man! They're showing behind the scenes footage and the fights! This is real! I wonder how they were able to film their past events though??" :/ When you're a kid when this show came on 10-13 years ago, you honestly believed anything and everything.
I met Ho Sung pak about 10 years ago at the U.S. Capitol Classics in D.C. This is about when Mortal Combat first came out. I got a collectors edition comic an had most of charcters sign it.
Love this episode, since it features my favorites, Superstar and Star Warrior. I was always a fan of the Kung Fu/Wushu people, but now I can appreciate all the different competitors. Can't wait for season 2 and Jukido!
They never did give that one a name. And it was only used during their match.
