BY: NOT NOW I’M DRINKING A BEER AND WATCHING A MOVIE
Busy day drinking beer and watching my hockey club finals. Now time to help out @theipcdotme with Shitfest Fall with a little live tweet.

The exceptional film I have chosen is MORTAL KOMBAT (1995). I hope it's not actually good. Twould be awkward for shitfest #kombattweet

Who was your go-to MK character back in the day? Had to be Liu Kang for me. Forward forward something high kick all day. #kombattweet

This film starts with the most 90s of 90s theme songs. How delightful #kombattweet

CGI has come a long way #kombattweet

Is Jax in this film??? Such a shit character in the games. Who needs skills when you have METAL FRICKIN ARMS #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
Start of this film seems to consist of various characters just dropping the names of every MK character ever. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
Liu Kang has a tasty mullet #kombattweet

Christopher Lambert as Raiden. Lolz. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
This movie is all kinds of terrible. A huge ensemble of cringeworthy performances. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
Hey Mrs Pete Sampras is in this film. The only other film I ever recall seeing her in is BILLY MADISON. Quite the filmography #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
This is one of the cheaper looking films in history. #kombattweet

This film is so bad, I'm struggling to come up with anything funny to say about it. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
Flawless victory! #kombattweet

I'm nowhere near drunk enough for this film. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
I thought Kylie Minogue was in this film. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
This film has the soundtrack of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action film. And none of that film's charm #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
You would think at least the fight scenes in this film would be awesome… you would be wrong. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
You would have thought Mrs Sampras could hage gone to at least one martial arts class to prep for the film. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
There may never have been worse use of CGI in history than in this film. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
Has been far too long since. Sub Zero froze something in this film. That shit is cool. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
Woah but he just did. And Liu Kang so used it against him. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
This four armed dude looks like one of Jim Henson's muppets. #kombattweet

Guy just got soul in his eye. #kombattweet

This so called tournament does not seem too follow many rules.#kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
I'm pretty sure Ray Harryhausen films look better than this. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
This film really is a festival of shit. Apt really. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
If Liu Kang doesn't do a forward forward something flying kick at some stage I'm going to riot. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
Lol. Sonia Blade looking all Fay Wray. Why? Who the fuck knows. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
I'm guessing the writers of this script have never worked again #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
Someone better get mad impaled on all those sikes that just came out of the ground. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
They waited far too long to pull out the fireball. #kombattweet
— Tim @ Beermovie.net (@beer_movie) September 14, 2013
Haha, the last shot is kinda fun. This film really is not. #kombattweet

Nice tweet review! Never watched this because I’m a girl. And it looks shit. 🙂 I always think of I Know What You Did Last Summer with Bridgette Wilson. A masterpiece compared to this, it seems.

Man, I loved this movie in ’95. I loved (and owned) the soundtrack. The fights that involved the 3 ninjas… Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile, were my favourite parts. Generally speaking, I shut it off after Reptile.
The last time I watched it was probably in ’99, though. And if you want to see a bad movie get exponentially worse… check out the sequel… Mortal Kombat Annihilation.

A tweet review, I like it, very novel for Shitfest! I tried (and failed) to bleach this movie from my memory. And I think Kylie was Street Fighter, which was equally lulzy, that had Van Damme as Guile. And Ming-Na as Chun-Li. I have to watch that movie again.

Holy shit Tara Reid looks hot in that photo. The wonders of photoshop I guess.

Did you get any replies on Twitter during your live tweestravaganza from people who felt the need to defend the film?

“This film is so bad, I’m struggling to come up with anything funny to say about it” … I hate when that happens! Actually, you managed to come up with some good ones! Sub-Zero was my character when I used to play:D Want to watch a better tournament film? Try Balls of Fury!

Hey Tyson, that’s Tara Reid, pre-surgery (ironically, surgery to make her look better), not photoshop! Now, she’s Bride of Frankenstein (along with Joan Rivers).

Oh man, I’m a little sad to see this one included in Shitfest. Regardless of how poorly it’s aged, it’s still one of those movies that I will remember fondly. There’s so much nostalgia! For the movie, for the characters, for the video games… I can hear the video game voiceover now “Sub Zero WINS!” lol.

I also loved this as a dumb teenager and even owned the soundtrack on Compact Disc. In a movie full of horrible acting, Christopher Lambert is probably the worst.

Dude, I HEART Mortal Kombat so much, lol. It’s totally terrible but it’s so epically fun. I have the soundtrack and everything – MK was one of my fave games back in the day and I so kicked ass at it. Nice tweet review – live tweeting is always fun!! 🙂
