Description

This Summer, we take the (not-so) out of TERRIBLE TWOS and present three wonderfully awful sequels that are “not-so terrible” to revisit on the big screen! 

 

In August, we conclude our TERRIBLE TWOS mini-series with the commercial and critical ‘fatality’, MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION. 

 

This 30 million dollar 1997 sequel managed to disappoint teenagers and video game nerds worldwide with its inane dialogue, recasting of two-thirds of the main cast and its laughably bad (and unfinished) VFX shots (where did the 30 million budget go?).

 

Although this inferior follow-up was painful to get through when it first came out, MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION has become one of the best worst video game movies of all-time to watch with a crowd. 

 

Don’t be a SUUUCCCCCKKKKEEER! Re-watch this entertaining atrocity and re-experience all of the FLIPS and TECHNO MUSIC on the big screen! - Serena Whitney - Programming Director)
