Show Summary [ ]

The show debuted at Radio City Music Hall in New York on September 14, 1995, followed by a 200 city road trip into 1996. The show replicated on stage the martial arts and moves from the Mortal Kombat video games , mixing them with dancing and music. Lines were pre-recorded and used to demonstrate the official sound effects from the games, though there was no dismemberments, decapitations or Fatalities visible in the show. The audience participated by yelling "Run!" or "Kick him!" as part of the live action.

The Live Tour: Shortly after the release of the feature film a martial art theatrical stage show called, Mortal Kombat: The Live Tour started. The plot revolved around the protectors of the Earth, who must retrieve the sixth and final magic Dragon Amulet in order to stop Shao Khan's invasion. The show's premiere was at Radio City Music Hall in New York, on September 14, 1995 followed by a 200 cities road trip. Similar to the movie, the Live Tour did not have any blood or Fatalities. Instead, it focused on choreographed martial art moves, music, and laser effects. A lot of characters appeared in the show. Kerri Hoskins - the actress who portrayed Sonya in the third game, reprised her role for the Live Tour. Another noticeable staff member is the actor (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) who played Shang Tsung in the film. He is one of the fight coordinators of the show. Tickets were advertised and put in various gaming magazines to promote The Live Tour. The show ended in 1996. It left a lot of fans disappointed, mostly due to the missing violence.

Robin Shou said in an interview that they had to cut a lot of stuff because production was behind schedule from the start. Dana Hee (who played Mileena) said a bunch of the fight scenes ended up on the cutting room floor because the director wanted to show the 'acting' parts, not the action.

Recent tour reviews

He has been producing house music since the 90's but American producer Marc Kinchen has only become a household name in the last year or so. His resurfacing to the chart came after his remix of Storm Queen's 'Look Right Through' which topped the charts earlier this year and dominated radio and club playlists. Aside from that he is widely known as the king of the remix, having reworked tracks by everyone from Haim to Rudimental to Duke Dumont, all of which are regular fixtures in his crowd-pleasing sets. Up until Everywhere festival earlier this year in May, I had missed MK on three separate occasions (being so drunk that I passed out on the tram tracks being the most, or i guess least memorable time). But finally after getting to see him my expectations were more than exceeded, supplying my favourite set of the event. Playing everything I wanted to hear Including my first year of university soundtrack 'My Head Is A Jungle'. Since then, I've seen him play to a rammed dome shaped tent at Parklife festival and the beautiful picturesque Croatian Zrce beach Island of Pag setting of Hideout festival. It was the latter at which I was lucky enough to be on stage with MK with my friends and his entourage and what a moment it was. At one point 12 cases of champagne were bought out on stage for MK's pals to go crazy with, and spray over the crowd, who were more than happy to receive the cooling down. MK is, in my opinion, the biggest house name around! Go see why for yourself!

Ranking Mortal Kombat's On-Screen Adaptations

Mortal Kombat's colorful fighters, deep (read: ridiculous) lore, and over-the-top violence lends itself to film and TV better than most game franchises. Who doesn't want to watch a demonic hell ninja rip the heart out of a shape-shifting wizard? That's money baby, and Hollywood clearly agrees.  The beloved franchise has a long history of spilling blood outside of the confines of video games with varying degrees of success, from the '90s films, to an animated series, to a few live-action shows, to the 2021 reboot movie – and I've watched them all. 

Here's my personal ranking, from worst to best, of Mortal Kombat's on-screen adaptations. From the surprisingly awesome to the hilariously terrible, everything on this list is worth taking even a peek at if you fancy yourself an MK enthusiast. 

Honorable Mention: Mortal Kombat: Live Tour (1995)

This wasn’t a film or TV adaptation, but I’d be remiss not to mention Mortal Kombat: Live Tour. For those of you who weren't kids in the early '90s, I really can’t overstate how popular Mortal Kombat really was back then. Sure, it’s still a big franchise today, but it was something of a pop culture phenomenon during its early years and their 200-city traveling stage show was a prime example of that. Young MK fans flocked to convention centers, theaters, and arenas to see their spine-ripping heroes in the flesh, who would engage in choreographed fights and martial arts demonstrations while garbed in pretty bad costumes (even for its time). It's super cheesy, but I love watching clips of this weird thing now and again. I never got to see it live, but I'd love to know if any of you were lucky enough to have your parents drag you to watch Sub-Zero backflip to techno and laser lights. 

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation   (1997)

Annihilation 's tagline of "Destroy All Expectations" may be the most prophetic in cinema history. What can you say about Mortal Kombat’ s horrific sophomore film that hasn’t been said already? In short, Annihilation is an unmitigated disaster and one of the worst movies ever made. It takes everything that worked in its predecessor and uppercuts it into a spike-filled pit, trading narrative coherence for, quite literally, cheap fan service and quantity over quality. “Hey look, it’s Mileena, Ermac, and Baraka! Who the hell are they? Who cares, they’re here – and they look like trash!” 

The movie recasts almost every returning character for the worst, has the lamest versions of Shao Kahn/Shinnok ever, the plot just kind of happens, and it even ruins Animalities. Seeing Liu Kang morph into a dragon should have been amazing, but the laughably bad special effects make the old Godzilla films look like they came from Weta Workshop. In the decades since its release Annihilation has only become redeeming as a “so bad it’s good” type of experience. As a kid who saw it opening night, though, it was no laughing matter and everyone watching alongside me knew we were in trouble the moment Johnny Cage bit the dust in its opening minutes.

Mortal Kombat: The Journey Begins (1995)

The Journey Begins is a direct-to-video animated film that’s really only noteworthy for how hilariously awful the animation is. The movie’s sole purpose was to build hype and set the table for the 1995 live-action film, focusing on the good guys’ arrival to Shang Tsung’s island. For some reason the film mixes traditional animation with fight scenes rendered in crude CG that looked terrible even by mid-'90s standards. On the flipside, though, it does provide probably the first 3D representations of the characters pre-Mortal Kombat 4. Outside of some intriguing background on Goro and his brother that I don’t think ever resurfaces in the fiction again, The Journey Begins is good for a decent laugh if you have nothing better to do for an hour. The entire film can be found on YouTube, so have at it. 

Mortal Kombat: Conquest (1998)

Conquest was a live-action series that ran for one season and was basically churned out of the same daytime-TV-fantasy-show factory that spawned Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys . Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good or memorable as those shows. This largely forgotten series acts as a prequel to the franchise and stars the Great Kung Lao (legendary ancestor of the present day version), who teams up with an ex-guardsman named Siro and a thief, Taja  (played by Kristanna Loken of BloodRayne movie fame).

The fearsome threesome spend 22 episodes battling Shang Tsung n' pals as well as embarking on other random adventures at the behest of Raiden. The show tries to cash in on the popularity of the '90s films, featuring the same visual imagery and some costume designs. It also has perhaps the second-worse-looking Shao Kahn behind Annihilation 's incarnation. Conquest isn’t great, but it’s a totally harmless cheesefest with a surprisingly dark finale.

Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm (1996)

Defenders of the Realm pulled off the impossible feat of turning this gorefest of a series into a more sanitized, family-friendly action cartoon. Officially, it serves as an alternative sequel to the first movie as well as Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and centers on Earthrealm’s defenders doing what they do best against various invading forces. It’s not an amazing series, but it’s fine for what it is and as an MK-obsessed child, I ate this cartoon right up. 

Defenders did have some good things going for it. For example, Nightwolf has an actual wolf named Kiva that can jump into his chest, giving him more power. That’s dope. It also has the least lame version of Stryker. Defenders is semi-infamous, though, for Sonya Blade’s annoying catchphrase of “ Kombat time! ” I think it was supposed to be endearing/cool in a Ben Grimm way, but winds up being this show’s equivalent of the Zelda cartoon’s “Excuuuse Me, Princess”

Also, here’s a fun fact: Defenders of the Realm featured the first-ever appearance of Quan-Chi, who appeared in a single episode a year before his video game debut in 1997’s Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy (2011)

This intriguing web series ran for two seasons on Machinima's YouTube channel and was spun out of a cool 2010 short film called Mortal Kombat: Rebirth . Legacy takes a chance by reimagining the fantastical series with a grittier, more grounded perspective but it still respects the source material and the elements that make Mortal Kombat great in the first place. Not all of the changes land (Raiden as an asylum inmate is a little too out there for me), but most of them are pretty cool. I especially love Legacy ’s take on the origins stories for Johnny Cage, Scorpion, and Kitana/Mileena. 

In a Marvel-like approach, Legacy devotes season one to introducing the characters before bringing them together for the tournament in season two. Some fans complained this approach was too slow at the time, but I enjoy  Legacy ’s commitment to world and character-building. The performances are solid, the fight scenes rock, and the production values are good given its scope. Well, except Shao Kahn. Seriously, why is he so hard to depict in live-action?

Anyways, season two takes a hit due to a ton of recasting that hurt the continuity; Johnny Cage’s change in performers bummed me out most. It did, however, feature Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa reprising the role of Shang Tsung on-screen, years before he did again in Mortal Kombat 11. Unfortunately, season 3 never saw the light of day despite plans to make it happen. Legacy definitely isn’t your parents' Mortal Kombat, but it’s a bold and fascinating remix worth checking out. 

Mortal Kombat (2021)

After waiting with baited breath to see if this reboot of the film franchise succeeds, I'm happy to report that, for the most part, Mortal Kombat's return to the big screen is a respectable one. The fight scenes are among the best of this list, and the film gleefully embraces the source material with its accurate and brutal depictions of several of the franchise's special moves and fatalities. Mortal Kombat also doesn't take itself too seriously, allowing some of the franchise's inherent absurdity to shine though. As entertaining as it can be, the movie is not without its faults. Scorpion's limited role is disappointing given his marketing presence, and I still find newcomer Cole Young to be a largely bland protagonist. The explanation of "arcana" for all the supernatural abilities isn't terrible per se, but I don't think I needed a reasoning for that stuff either. Overall, Mortal Kombat is a solid first step in what looks to be a larger film series. As long as I can get more Kano, who steals the show in this film, I’ll be happy. 

Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge (2020)

Scorpion’s Revenge serves as a reimagining of the events of the first game that puts Hell's favorite vengeful ninja front and center. The animation and character design look sharp and the performances, like Joel McHale’s Johnny Cage, are pretty good as well. The action is a blast to watch and is incredibly violent; Scorpion’s Revenge is the goriest MK adaptation by a mile. Purists may be put off by how the film takes heavy creative liberties with the established fiction (namely making Liu Kang look kind of useless), which makes me wonder if telling a Scorpion-centric story using the original tournament as a backdrop was perhaps a bad call. Still, if you’re looking for a fun way to kill 80 minutes and love you some Hanzo Hasashi, Scorpion’s Revenge is an entertaining and kick-ass martial-arts flick.

Mortal Kombat (1995)

I mean, c’mon. You knew this was topping the list even if you hadn’t read my piece gushing about all of the things this movie does right . Mortal Kombat remains the gold standard for live-action MK goodness as well as video game films in general. It captures everything that works about the games and translates them almost effortlessly to the big-screen. Sure, s ome aspects haven’t aged gracefully (namely the CG effects) but the film maintains the same narrative and tonal balance of the games in that it's violent and self-serious but also completely aware, and proud, of its absurdity. Most of all, it does a great job of properly introducing newcomers to its world while still satisfying long-time fans. That’s something many adaptations still struggle to do. 

Mortal Kombat crams a ton of MK goodness without going overboard, making it easy to follow and avoiding fan service bloat. The characters are well-casted (even the Hail Mary of Christopher Lambert’s Raiden), the world and atmosphere oozes MK, and the fights are awesome. And, of course, there’s that signature theme song that still resonates with fans decades later. Mortal Kombat achieves a near flawless victory that few video game films have come close to matching.

Oh, and somehow this movie still has the best live-action version of Shao Khan, which is both amazing and sad at the same time. 

That's where things stand for now, but don't just take my opinion for gospel! I'd love to hear your personal rankings as well as what Mortal Kombat adaptation is your favorite. Hit me up with your picks down in the comments!

Megadeth Announces Destroy All Enemies U.S. Tour

Featuring Mudvayne and All That Remains

Tickets for the 33-city nationwide tour on-sale this friday, april 26.

Megadeth is bringing its iconic live show to North America with a 33-city, nationwide tour, Destroy All Enemies, produced by Live Nation, this fall including stops in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Boston, St. Louis and many more. Tickets for all dates will be on sale Friday at 10am local time with an exclusive presale for the Cyber Army/Megadeth Digital beginning today, Tuesday, April 23 at 12pm local time Megadeth.com .

Bringing along Mudvayne and All That Remains, the tour begins in Rogers, Arkansas on August 2 and runs throughout the month before wrapping in Nashville, Tennessee on September 28. Performing classic hits from Rust In Peace, Countdown to Extinction and more, the tour also brings Dave Mustaine and bandmates back to North America to perform their latest studio album The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead! Featuring some of Mustaine’s strongest-ever songwriting, the tour offers an equally ambitious live performance that delivers on all fronts.

“Our ‘Crush The World’ tour has been a tremendous experience for the four of us,” shared Dave Mustaine. “We are all playing tight, and that has made it possible for me to really focus on solos and singing, we are playing more songs than ever before, and we are closer to each other, onstage AND off. I’m excited to see Mudvayne, and All That Remains. Join us as we DESTROY ALL ENEMIES.”

The North American jaunt comes on the heels of a highly anticipated and successful stint in Latin America wrapping this month and starting back up in Europe this summer. With stops in Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and México and forthcoming dates in Sweden, Italy, France, Germany and more, the band’s global appeal and lasting impact is more apparent than ever as continued calls for international touring are demanded.

Megadeth, alongside founder and frontman Dave Mustaine, are renowned for their unparalleled energy and mastery on stage. In 2023, the GRAMMY-Award winning band dominated arenas and festivals, reaffirming its status as one of heavy metal’s most formidable live acts. Dubbed “as ferocious and hard-hitting as ever” by AllMusic , Megadeth enjoyed sold-out shows and critical acclaim on the latest run of the Crush The World Tour captivating audiences and showcasing the latest and greatest hits.

Live nation, aeg bidding on *nsync reunion stadium tour after fan demand, *nsync live nation, aeg bidding on reunion stadium tour.

*NSYNC's appearances over the last year have stirred up so much excitement that two major tour promoters are bidding on a possible reunion stadium tour ... convinced the group could pack stadiums and be one for the history books.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... both Live Nation and AEG have thrown their hats in the ring, reaching out to the members of the popular boy band just a couple weeks ago to let the guys know they're down to explore the idea of a tour.

We're told their interest was piqued, especially after witnessing the love and support the group received last year when they reunited for a song in the latest 'Trolls' movie.

Our sources say the buzz surrounding their 2023 MTV VMAs appearance and their surprise cameo at Justin Timberlake 's L.A. show in March was the icing on the cake for the promoters.

Our sources say both promoters have presented the group with some serious financial numbers, although they would not be specific.

Our sources say the group is mulling over the offers, but we're told no decisions are close to being made. If the reunion stadium tour were to happen, it wouldn't be until 2025.

Lance Bass and Joey Fatone have been expressing their enthusiasm for a reunion. Remember, JT is currently focused on his solo music endeavors with his new album and 2024 tour, which doesn't wrap until December.

Stay tuned ...

Old news is old news be first.

Bad Bunny brought a live horse, an orchestra and Puerto Rican pride to Austin concert

There was a live horse.

Friday night at the Moody Center, reggaetón idol and fashion trendsetter Bad Bunny switched sides and costumes. Earlier he donned a suit and wig under an L.A. Dodgers cap, then he rocked a tan jacket with frills. In between, a soliloquy about taking the road less traveled via pre-recorded video.

In it, Bunny crossed the dessert on a horse with the self-serious swagger of a cologne ad.

“No one else dares to take this path,” he narrated on-screen in Spanish.

Then, for about 15 seconds, he walked into the arena on a brown horse, gave it a pat, and we never saw it again. For one of the world’s mightiest rock stars, it was the most over-the-top flourish in a night filled with them.

A full orchestra; 20 back-up dancers; a rotating cat walk; 10 to 15 minutes of just posing on said cat walk to breathe in the idol worship while giving back brooding stares; barroom singalongs of sweeping breakup ballads like “un x100to” performed while lounging on top of a grand piano; the audacity to not book an opener; the bravado to leave out song of the summer 2022, “Callaita,” which was in a beer commercial, from the set list. And like Leo Messi, the rock star born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio never bothered to address his adoring English-speaking public in anything other than his native Spanish.

He’d ask where all the Latinas in Austin, Texas were at to get screams, sure, but also offer affirmations about identity and self-actualization.

“What we can’t control is what people will say about us,” he’d say, later shouting out how special it was to see Puerto Rican flags from fans. (I counted more than 10 large ones stretched out by patrons, including a giant flag draped over the mezzanine wall like a soccer match.) In his pep talk, Bad Bunny was alluding to being a tabloid regular—he split with Kendall Jenner in December—but also seemingly shouting out what it’s like to be a Latinx person in the U.S.

And the Spanish-first community was proudly about town. Selling $10 cowboy hats; enjoying hot dogs with a million toppings, fresh off a street griddle; even third- and fourth-generation Texans seemed excited to tap into the fashion and swagger of Mexican uncles at a child’s birthday party on Bad Bunny night.

You forget that Bad Bunny is an idea and lifestyle, too. Locally, dance clubs like Mala Vida are molded in his neon image. In South Austin, the same operating group’s Gabrielas restaurant has a permanent Bad Bunny throne that diners can snap photos on. He’s emboldened the community with a zest for gender-neutral brightness so undeniably appealing that Mark Zuckerberg is now wearing gold chains and letting his curls flex.

Between bangers at the Moody, he told us to seek out “people who love you and support you.” The dude projects a lot, defiantly adding banter like “people tell me things every day, but I’m sure of who I am.”

Were his gradient lights hypnotic? Was the cowboy boot necklace we all got at the door, that synced to the lightshow Coldplay and Taylor Swift-style, a lovely souvenir? Were his vocals muffled and mixed to overpowering degrees so that at times you heard him echo twice as loud as the accompanying beat? Absolutely and of course.

Structurally, this Most Wanted Tour is a celebration of October’s “Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va Pasar Mañana” record, a more somber and rap-centric offering relative to 2022’s relentlessly romantic party masterpiece “Un Verano Sin Ti.” The former is almost a Rick Ross album, rich with thumping beats and strings—mood music for the bosses that makes you want to put a bib on and eat crab.

And so the show began with 10 uncompromising new songs, then revved into a string of party barge standards post-horse: “Yo Perreo Sola,” “La Santa,” “Me Porto Bonito.” Illuminate your reality and proudly let the dog out—he couldn’t be any clearer.

In a new interview, the Canadian singer discusses her health and says if she’ll return to touring.

She continued, “Five days a week I undergo athletic, physical and vocal therapy. I work on my toes, my knees, my calves, my fingers, my singing, my voice… I have to learn to live with it now and stop questioning myself. At the beginning I would ask myself: why me? How did this happen? What have I done? Is this my fault?”

Dion says she doesn’t have the answers as to why she got this illness and she only has two options, “Either I train like an athlete and work super hard, or I switch off and it’s over, I stay at home, listen to my songs, stand in front of my mirror and sing to myself. I’ve chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be. My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!”

The “My Heart Will Go On” singer says that it’s her family, children, and fans that keep her strong and is grateful she has the means to have good doctors and treatments, adding, “I have this strength within me. I know that nothing is going to stop me.”

Since being diagnosed with SPS, Dion has been largely kept out of the public eye. In February of this year, she made a surprise appearance at the Grammys and presented an award to Taylor Swift .

When asked about getting back on stage and touring again, Dion said, “I can’t answer that… Because for four years I’ve been saying to myself that I’m not going back, that I’m ready, that I’m not ready… As things stand, I can’t stand here and say to you: ‘Yes, in four months’ [I will return]. I don’t know… My body will tell me.”
