[edit] Plot and "mink"

How has nobody noticed that the plot outline sucks? its written as an exact account of what each character does (liu kang kicks this guy, who falls over, but its ok because he then gets up and throws a punch etc) its unreadable. Oh and referring to the director christopher morrison guy as mink liek this is common knowledge. I've never heard of the guy before, let alone knowing him as personally as saying "mink said this, mink said that" clean it up guys, pretty much this whole article sucks.

[edit] Restored content (kontent?)

I reverted a recent edit by 86.144.60.11. In it, he stated that the film's canon is different from the game's, which is true. However, he mentions the X-Men flicks as a comparison. With that in mind, I'm restoring the section (although I am trimming it some); X3 has a similar section at Comparison with the comics. With that in mind, I've renamed the section Deviations from game canon and trimmed the items that didn't really fit. EVula 15:26, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. It was the portrayal of deviantions as akin to plot holes that didn't seem to fit. --86.144.60.11 13:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent edits

Good gravy? Somebody totally peed on the Critical reaction section. There wasn't anything wrong with it, so why was it edited. I've changed stuff around and eliminated some redundant info. One reason why I think these changes were needed, as funny as you find the tag-line Destroy all expectations! mentioning it in the article does not enhance the quality of it. I also found things like continuity errors (Johnny's glasses) rather irrelevant and am planning to remove the Inconsitencies to Canon section soon. Any little continuity errors should be left at IMDb.--HannuMakinen 10:09, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Critical reaction and performance

Some people have seemed to take an offence to the way this section was worded so I took the liberty of cutting down on the proverbial weasel-words and hope that this section now appears more wiki-worthy. Just to remind people, no matter how you slice it, the movie was not a big success, it was't very beloved and neither of those facts have changed. This section was originated by me, specifically to answer why all of these things happened, but I'm not trying to defend this film in any way, I merely want it to have an appropriate entry in Wikipedia, just like every other film that has a page here. -TheHande 13:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

You've done a good job removing all the weasel words, but the entire section is still rife with unsourced claims. I've flagged the numerous instances.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying it wasn't a shitty movie. It was. But we need to cite our claims. Take a look at what I did for Mortal Kombat: Devastation; every rumor and every claim is backed up by a source. Ideally, every article would be like that (although that's more of a pipe dream than an immediate plan). I'll see what I can about providing sources for some of the claims. EVula 17:35, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I just realized today that the film is no longer on IMDb's bottom 100, though I'm sure it was there for a while. I removed the reference from Critical Reactions section. -TheHande 06:26, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese cut

I heard rumors of a cut of this film available in asia. It supposedly adds tons of unused footage. Someone should write this up if they have the info. I seen a pic of the alternate ending where Quan Chi and Shinnok are talking online somewhere. If someone has that pic it could supplement the addition. --Iamstillhiro1112 21:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

• Based on what I've seen on the trivia section the existance of such footage is currently disputed with no existing source for it. If you find a source that's fine, but I myself am extremely skeptical towards the existance of such a cut. -TheHande 12:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mileena movie2 2.jpg

Image:Mileena movie2 2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
