    When was the last time someone released one of these campy, over the top action movies that this is referencing? It must be at least a decade by this point? I think the closest things are things like the John Wick series, The Beekeeper, or Atomic Blonde which are all a little over the top but present themselves more seriously. I guess the Fast and the Furious franchise and its spin offs might qualify but they seem to rely more on ensemble casts than a leading man.

      Arguably that’s exactly the niche Deadpool hit.

      The first of the Mortal Kombat reboot was only four years ago. Certainly feels like longer though.

      As they said, it went out of fashion in the 90s ;)

    Everything else looks on point. I’m actually excited for this so here’s hoping we can finally take a multimillion dollar franchise with the easiest formula ever to replicate and just DO THAT

      Yeah, I'm both really excited for his version of Johnny, but also it's a pretty big departure from that character. From the preview though he looks like he's going to do a spectacular job!

    Excited, but now that I've seen and enjoyed him as Billy Butcher, I'm worried that his Cage will just be a watered down version. The trailer song was bad and the dialogue lines we're pretty meek,...

    The trailer song was bad and the dialogue lines we're pretty meek, but I'm still here for it. I quite liked the reboot!
