Since 2020, several animated films based on Mortal Kombat Legends have been released. And in Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match, you'll learn more about Johnny Cage's origins.

Fans of Mortal Kombat will recognize Johnny Cage as a video game character. The persona of a silly but tough action star. When fighting in video games, he appears similar to Jean Claude Van Damme (JCVD). That does not appear to be a secret, as we can play Johnny Cage with JCVD's appearance in the video game Mortal Kombat 1 in 2023.

However, in this film, JCVD's impression is unrelated to the plot. Johnny Cage appears in a flashback to the 1980s. This is evident in the color appearance, clothing style, and neon impression. Fight scenes are scattered throughout the film, just as they are in the video game. Don't picture a bloodbath. The fights appear to be humorous here. Of course, this raises the possibility of criticism. because the Mortal Kombat video game has a fanatical following of brutal fights. It could also be disappointing for fans. However, for those looking for light entertainment, this film will suffice.

It is stated here that Johnny Cage must try to save his career as a formidable action actor. His co-star, who was also the main star, vanished in the middle of filming. And if it is not discovered, the film's continuation risks being incomplete. This is what prompted Johnny Cage to search for his film co-star's whereabouts. Until this took him to a secret devil-worshiping society. And it turns out that Johnny Cage had been missing out on something surprising about everyone around him all this time. That mystery must be solved if the world and his career are to be saved.

You'll find this movie to be entertaining on its own. Some amusing scenes make you laugh. Even though you were hoping to see an animated fighting movie. Additionally, there are intriguing details regarding Johnny Cage's character debut. This is the account of how Johnny learned different forms of martial arts. beginning with the account of his early years, which differed greatly from his adult life. That might be something to learn from this movie.

Aside from Johnny Cage, several characters from the game appear in this film. Raiden, Ashrah, Shinnok, and other Mortal Kombat villains are among those featured. The character played by Johnny Cage, Pantomime Ninja, is also featured in this film. which appears in the video game Mortal Kombat 1 (2023).

If you have the time, watch it. You will be transported back to the Hollywood 1980s. The colors and letters evoke memories of the 1980s when this game was released. If you enjoy brutal fighting, you can reduce your level of brutality slightly. Because the tough Johnny Cage will crack a lot of jokes in this film.
