Mortal Kombat Movie Trailer Recut with the Original Theme Song

@Tea Thanks!

Don't know why they have to be so coy sometimes, they just need to say yes or no. So those of us who want to organise our own imports can do so.

At least I'll be able to get Atelier 2 and Judgement if they decide not to stock the game.

That would be cool too! I have this urge to replay the trilogy every now and then, but my pile of shame prevents me

YES! HZD2 and GOW
Elder Rings would be nice!
I know some PC Ports are on the way but more new things would be nice. Wish some old IP"s could come back to life. I would pay for new Parasite Eve and Legend of Dragoon... but alas...

Any wishes for the new State of Play for you?

Mortal Kombat Movie Trailer Recut with the Original Theme Song

by Sam Aberdeen on 22 February, 2021

Last week, Warner Bros. released the official first Restricted trailer for the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie. The reception has been mostly positive, with fans praising the film's faithfulness to the games' fatalities and costume designs. However, some pointed out that it lacked a piece of iconic music: the Techno Syndrome theme song from the 1995 film. While it was specifically made for Paul W.S. Anderson's movie, it has since become synonymous with the gaming series as a whole, even being featured in the Mortal Kombat 11 launch trailer. Now, a fan has recut the new movie trailer and added that bit of nostalgia.

YouTuber Salih Bal recently posted their re-edited version of the Mortal Kombat movie trailer, adding in the original "Techno Syndrome" theme song by The Immortals. The music kicks in during the climactic fight in the trailer between Sub-Zero and Scorpion - and it simply elevates the trailer in ways the original did not. While the official trailer did have hints of the theme song in its score, this cut of the trailer simply slides in the famous techno theme to excellent results. We'll let you judge it for yourself, check it out below:

"Techno Syndrome" first appeared in Paul W.S. Anderson's 1995 live-action Mortal Kombat movie, and while it was never intended for the video game series, it has since become integral to the franchise. Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon recognized the song's impact and placed it in the launch trailer for Mortal Kombat 11, which probably led to a lot more sales than Warner Bros. realized. We're hoping that the upcoming movie will also integrate this theme song into the film in some form, whether it's in the opening credits like the 90s film or during some action sequence. We'll wait for the film's release to find out.

Mortal Kombat releases on April 16th, 2021 in theatres and HBO Max.
