ARRIVAL. I wanted to like but all it did was put me to sleep. big 0 score.
Yeah'.If at all possible and you don't mind subtitles try to find these in the original release w/subs.Shaw Brothers did a lot for Chinese Cinema coming to the US in the late 60's early 70's.So they did Dub versions of most of their films.But remember the Dub versions 70% of the time make the films slightly cornier.Funny how I recognize the Dub voices of certain actors in the SB films.I grew up in San Francisco and there were a couple of Chinese Theaters I would frequent for original versions.
Here are a few and honestly there are hundreds more of them.Many of the greats had 2 or 3 sequels.
1966 Come Drink With Me (all time classic)
1972 The 14 Amazons (excellent)
1976 Executioners from Shaolin
1978 Five Deadly Venoms
1978 The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (one of the all time greats)
1979 The Crane Fighter
1982 Legendary Weapons of China (aka:LWO Kung Fu)
1982 Shaolin Prince
1983 Holy Flame of the Martial World (one of my all time fav's for zany special effects wizards and great fighting sequences)
1993 Iron Monkey(very good)
a couple of later films that are also VG with HQ picture and sound
2011 Legendary Amazons
2011 Shaolin
2013 The Fox Lover (more of a fantasy)
These are all period pieces.Not even touching on the 70's flood of Chinese Kung Fu Cinema.So have fun.
I only like Scorpion's episodes too and his costume designs are actually freaking great.Mortal Kombat Legacy (first nine episodes) -- 4 / 10
Man, wtf.Some of it is actually alright - like the Scorpion & Kitana episodes (maybe Cyrax / Sektor one as well), but the rest is a waste of resources & time.
Can't wait to watch the next nine.![]()

Wow I'm surprised cause I loved legacy. Great series from start to finish. Johnny cage's was the weakest one though. Overall- 9/10
Sorry but even Conquest was better than Legacy.
Second season had potential but still crap overall.
Have you guys seen the Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist?
No, is it good?
Well, I thought it was pretty good for a web series. It's the best live action SF adaptation so far. I wouldn't pay for it, but luckily I saw it on YouTube when it was originally released.
I thought they captured the look and the spirt of the original games.
Here are the first 2 episode. They're pretty short. The season doesn't just focus on Ryu and Ken, but also their master and Akuma, but that's later.
