Mortal Kombat 3? Warner Bros. is Pimpin Mortal Kombat Like a $10 Hooker

While we’re on the subject of live-action martial arts movies, I think it’s only fair that we warn you that a third installment of the Mortal Kombat movie series is set to begin shooting this September.

The information was leaked by none other than Scorpion’s real-life counterpart Chris Casamassa in an interview with the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. The eight-degree black belt and CEO of the Red Dragon Karate got his start in The Karate Kid as an extra and continued his work in movies as Scorpion in Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

I don’t know how many other people out there enjoyed the first movie as much as I did, I was about 20 times better than the Jean Claude Street Fighter, though the sequel (Annihilation) was just awful. I’ll wait to cast my judgment on the third movie, but if the movie trilogy curse has taught us anything, they’d probably be better off NOT making this movie, although I’m sure Warner Bros. is looking to make as quick of a buck on their new franchise as they can.

I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for. It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are. I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own. It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
