In his own words:
Let’s talk about the first movie.
The very first thing that I shot for Mortal Kombat was literally the opening of that MMA fight.
I shot it with an actor slash martial artist named Ian Streetz.
He’s a 13-time Lethwei champion.
Obviously there’s a lot of pressure.
It’s the first day and I had to fight this guy.
MMA fighter Cole Young seeks out Earth’s greatest champions in order to stand against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe.
I fought him for three days straight.
That was really intense.
I knew what I was in for once I finished those three days.
Itended up grossing almost $85 million worldwideagainst a reported budget of $55 million.
Incidentally, the movie also featured the legendary Japanese starsTadanobu AsanoandHiroyuki Sanadain supporting roles.
