When was the first one? 1995? TIL there was a movie in 2021 that was so far off my radar I missed it entirely.
Yeah the 2021 movie flew under my radar as well, they did a shit job of promoting it. Its actually a decent movie, much better than the cheesy ones from the 90s.
It came out during COVID which is a lot of the reason people don’t remember it I think.
This is a sequel to a reboot.
Mortal Kombat August 18, 1995 Mortal Kombat Annihilation November 21, 1997
Then it was rebooted.
Mortal Kombat April 23, 2021 Mortal Kombat II May 8, 2026
Five years later. For a reboot that did middling business at the box office. I guess it did well on streaming later. 🤷♂️
The 2021 movie came out on HBO Max only. It was part of a string of releases that weren't going to make it to theaters because of COVID.
