Games on Film #2: Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat (Patreon)

Welcome back to Games on Film, where for our second entry, we did a double feature of uber-90s fighting game adaptations shot in Thailand and starring Belgians playing different nationalities/ethnicities(?) that were released less than a year apart: Street Fighter: The Movie, directed by Die Hard writer Stephen de Souza, and Mortal Kombat, directed by vulgar auteur/known wife guy Paul W. S. Anderson. They're basically the Goofus and Gallant of one another in that one had a disastrous production where its stars were either doing insane amount of coke or literally dying and the other has Christopher Lambert in a Gandolf wig.
