quote
Johnny Cage: We got a guy with things comin' out of his hands, we got another guy who freezes stuff, and then there's a man, who as far as I can tell, is made out of electricity. I mean, how did he disappear like that? What is goin' on here? WHO IS THIS GUY?
Sonya Blade: Let's just think this through. There IS a rational explanation for all this.
Liu Kang: He's Rayden, god of lightning and protector of the realm of Earth.
Johnny Cage: Oh yeah. THERE'S your rational explanation!

Video-game based movies have never done especially well. Nobody wants to talk about SUPER MARIO BROTHERS anymore, and while STREET FIGHTER wasn't bad, most aficionados of the video game weren't especially impressed. I've always felt the reason that such movies fared poorly was the lack of background information on which to build a successful movie. In STREET FIGHTER there were some interesting characters, and there *is* a fair background to them in their Japanese incarnation, but really, for a full-length movie, what could you *do* with them? There was also a complaint about a lack of *fights*, which is what the game was all about.
