Episode 78: Street Fighter + Mortal Kombat

Computer game adaptations: perhaps the least respected form of film-making around. And let's face it, the ratio of good films to bad films is pretty darn low. This week, we team up with the guys from the Grandad and Mr Tech gaming podcast to have a close look at two much maligned entries in this subgenre: Street Fighter (1994), directed by Steven E. de Souza, and Mortal Kombat (1995), directed by Paul W.S Anderson. Tune in, sit back, and FINISH IT!!! Let's just say, plot is somewhat secondary in importance to the conception of both of these films. so we won't be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for either of them. If you are on tenterhooks about the dramatic resolution of either of these films, please watch them before listening (our advice: don't worry too much about that). Want to get in touch?
