Hah, Daniel Bernhardt in the upper left... he's in like EVERY action movie these days. I keep spotting him everywhere. He usually is given a part like "Head Thug," but he's usually in charge of stunts and action choreography. You can spot him in "Nobody," Birds of Prey, just about all of the John Wick movies, and I just spotted him in Statham's "Parker." Sometimes he's not even credited but once you have his face in your brain, you'll start noticing him.
So how does Mortal Kombat: Conquest work with the original 2 movies? Does it "fit" with them?

I don't think Conquest fits with anything at all, honestly.

I was always curious about it when I was in high school.

I used to catch a little bit of it since it was on close to WCW Nitro (and both Wrath and Meng had guest-star shots on it, because Corporate Cross-Promotion), but I can't say I ever watched it religiously.
I do wanna get the DVD, though. By all accounts it's a decent Xena ripoff that at least pays passable lip service to the MK franchise, despite some glaring discrepancies with the canon lore. And from some pictures I've seen, there's some smokin' hotties on that show so I'll probably be entertained even if it ain't that good.

Conquest is part of the Mortal Kombat movie timeline,it was promoted as such, the prequel to the film. There's inconsistencies but also in the direct sequel and the other prequel so no issues. We have to assume that Scorpion is a different Scorpion from the movie and that sub zero is a name that is passed on, which is sort of canon to the games so it works. I personally love Conquest but I'm a sucker for any Xena type show.

I always saw it as part of Hollywood Hogan's promise for more tv spots and whatever for anyone siding with him cause Hollywood got the connections and all that jazz. When I saw Buff on Charmed I was like 'damn, Hogan was serious, yo'.

Conquest reminded me of a live action Pirates of Darkwater series for some reason. I loved that while changing mythologies they never shied away from the mythical elements of the franchise. It wasn't as cheesy as other hercules clones, it had a nice balance. I'd love a new show even if it took the route of Konquest side games from the 2000 era MK games where you control a random person who just happens to meet all the other fighters because reasons.

Conquest was kind of "edgier" and "sexier" take on MK mythos and, I think, it was not that bad. Though, to be honest I barely remember anything about the series, except its finale, for obvious reasons.

I know, ridiculous, innit? But hey, don't look at me, it's the guy's own idea.
It's not ******** if it's in the text. And not blacks in particular, no. Middle Easterners, some of whom happen to be black. |

Also, Tolkien arguably based orcs on Mongol hoards. |

Can you quote the post where I said that's the first thing I, myself, see when I look at them? Or more to the point, read about them? Go on, I'll wait. You seem to have your fantasy authors and fictional races mixed up. |

As I said, if your first thought that orcs are mean caricature of some existing people - you've got problems. Quote:

And apparently Mongols don't exist... Odd. Have you ever read the books? Even in the movies, what do you suppose, say, the Haradrim, were based on? Australians? Everyone likes Vorpax. She's not always happy about it. |
