Great film if you love the franchise and characters like Johnny and Kitana

If you want to learn more about the actual history of Mortal Kombat this is a great film to check out. It goes over that history and the foundation of all the games while simultaneously explaining the origins of finishing moves, characters and so on. For characters, it breaks down how they were inspired and also shows gameplay throughout. Characters focused on include Scorpion, Johnny, Sonya, Sub Zero, Liu Kang and Kitana. Kitana even does her banality finishing move during part of the film. Overall it's entertaining enough, but very interesting to watch. I strongly suggest checking it out if you are interested in it.

Great Documentary for Mortal Kombat fans

If you love Mortal Kombat you will enjoy this documentary. It mainly features John Tobias as he discusses the game and so on. They also show off Mortal Kombat characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kitana and Sonya. They also show off additional and goofy moves like friendships and animalities, along with kitanas babality and discuss why those things were added and how the Mortal Kombat Franchise took the shape it has. They additionally discuss the 1995 movie and the overall gaming atmosphere of the 90s. If you love MK or NBA games it's a great documentary to check out. It's free on youtube with an ad.

Great documentary about gaming

Director Joshua has a tone and a love for the guys he is interviewing and the story he is telling. And this film held may attention from the get-go because there is nothing more fascinating than hearing the story of how these games got made. It's every endearing.

We get to see the creation of games like Defender and Smash TV, before striking gold with groundbreaking arcade versions of Terminator 2, NBA Jam and the smash hit franchise Mortal Kombat.

We also get to hear from the likes of Paul W. S Anderson, the director of the Mortal Kombat movie, and his reasons for getting involved in the process. We even get a whole section on the Aerosmith starring often lamented Revolution X,

I absolutely recommend you guys give Insert Coin a shot if your the slightest bit interested in arcades or gaming in general. It's very open and honest in they way they describe the times.
