Mortal Kombat Annihilation

Tucson Weekly

DIRECTED BY: John R. Leonetti

REVIEWED: 12-01-97

Let's see: The women are beautiful, the men are ugly, there's tons of cheesy techno music, the plot is skeletal, and the film follows a predictable pattern that alternates between inept talky scenes and heavy-duty action every ten minutes. Yep, basically this is a porno movie for kids. You might call it a porno trainer. The only differences are that there's fighting instead of fucking, the "special effects" cost more, and for a quarter you can play a video-game version in the lobby afterwards. If you want your kids to see a fun, inventive martial-arts film, wait for the next Jackie Chan picture. If you want to introduce them to the aesthetics of skin flicks, why not just cut to the chase and take them to Boogie Nights?
