Book of Swords

I watched it in 2018 and this 1996 movie is poorly directed and poorly edited but is great to watch for those who has mortal kombat nostalgia, because of the actors/actresses who were playing the roles the MK games are all portraying same characters in this movie but with different names. Usually we say so bad it's good, but here we say it's so bad that it's epic great.

The story is about detective Lang (Ho Sung Pak) who is chasing a gangster Taz (Richard Divizio) who is searching for the book of swords that can give him magical power. What they both don't know is the book can also release a soul of an evil warlord and whoevers body he takes over will have unlimited powers and only the Warrior who is born in the year of the dragon can stop him.

I love this movie because of the nostalgia of 1996 and most of all the feeling of finally a real Mortal Kombat movie, specially the disco fight scene with Ho Sung Pak and Daniel Pesina , those two actors played Liu Iang and Johnny Cage in the game and when they had their epic battle in the disco in this movie I couldn't help screaming oh my god a MK movie coming to life.

I recommend it to all mortal kombat fans, and it's my favorite I've watched in 2018.
