At least now I have an idea as to where the Mortal Kombat Team got the idea to give Johnny Cage the ability to punch (most of) his male opponents in the nuts.
@Nicksolo85 Johnny Cage was based on Van Damme. Mortal Combat was originally supposed to be a Van Damme game but it was too expensive to get the copyright so they turned his character into Johnny Cage and went from there.
Johnny Cage is supposed to be based on Jean Claude Van-Damme
Liu Kang's supposed to be based on Bruce Lee
I'm not sure who Kobra's supposed to be based on. Some people say he's based on Ken from SF but (mostly due to his outfit & personality) he reminds me more of Johnny Lawrence from the original Karate Kid
I'm not really sure who the other fighters are based on (if they're even supposed to be based on anyone)
I know Scorpion & Sub-Zero are like the Ryu & Ken of MK
most of the other fighters are original creations for hte most part
only noticable similarities with real life people or other movie/game chars are: sonya/cynthia rothrock, raiden/big trouble little china rayden, kitana/psylocke, kobra/kobra kai johnny(karate kid) to name a few.
well you have to remember that movie came out not so long after the bruce lee era, and at the time, making a face like you had a hard time evacuating your buritos and the weirdest noice noise as possible were 95% of what made you a true kung fu mastah, the fact you could barely lift your leg highter than your belt was never put into account :P
hey kuhen25 i watched the movie few days ago (after 10 years) and the quality is different. anyway in my opinion you made this video with better quality
the full movie looked faster and i heard the music (AT the ball punch) better
man this movie was soooo great! It had everything with the lowest budget. Almost didn't make it to the theaters but Van Damme pushed so hard and got it released and made his name. Bravo!
@hybridflare Jajajaja yeah! That punch is a killer man !

@anarkiatv Im pretty sure MK1 was going to be a Van Damme game where he was the only playable character and it was not going to be called MK at all.

The creators of Mortal Kombat actually used Van Damme as their inspiration for the creation of Johnny Cage, and that paticular move too.
