If you love Mortal Kombat you will enjoy this documentary. It mainly features John Tobias as he discusses the game and so on. They also show off Mortal Kombat characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kitana and Sonya. They also show off additional and goofy moves like friendships and animalities, along with kitanas babality and discuss why those things were added and how the Mortal Kombat Franchise took the shape it has. They additionally discuss the 1995 movie and the overall gaming atmosphere of the 90s. If you love MK or NBA games it's a great documentary to check out. It's free on youtube with an ad.

If you want to learn more about the actual history of Mortal Kombat this is a great film to check out. It goes over that history and the foundation of all the games while simultaneously explaining the origins of finishing moves, characters and so on. For characters, it breaks down how they were inspired and also shows gameplay throughout. Characters focused on include Scorpion, Johnny, Sonya, Sub Zero, Liu Kang and Kitana. Kitana even does her banality finishing move during part of the film. Overall it's entertaining enough, but very interesting to watch. I strongly suggest checking it out if you are interested in it.

This is an awesome documentary for Mortal Kombat fans. It went into a crazy amount of detail about the creation of the first few games and the story of Ed Boon and John Tobias. It also discusses characters like Johnny Cage and Kitana and explores their moves and origins in great detail. You even see cool finishers like Scorpions fatality and Kitana's bability in the film which is hilarious as I would never have expected to see that in any kind of film. The documentary also discusses the movie and the fights with the government when they tried to ban it for violence. It's an awesome film if you love the franchise and want to learn more about it.

It's an awesome documentary that covers the history of Mortal Kombat and Midway Games during the 1990s. I really enjoyed learning more about the characters and the creation of things like fatalities. I also really enjoyed that they covered the Mortal Kombat 1995 movie and showed footage and behind the scenes footage of the movie. The footage shown includes the characters like Robin Shou as Liu Kang, Talisa Soto as Kitana, and Linden Ashby as Johnny Cage. Overall it's an amazing documentary to watch, especially if you love Mortal Kombat. On top of that, if you enjoy NBA Jam or other games it's still a very interesting film.

Director Joshua has a tone and a love for the guys he is interviewing and the story he is telling. And this film held may attention from the get-go because there is nothing more fascinating than hearing the story of how these games got made. It's every endearing.
We get to see the creation of games like Defender and Smash TV, before striking gold with groundbreaking arcade versions of Terminator 2, NBA Jam and the smash hit franchise Mortal Kombat.
We also get to hear from the likes of Paul W. S Anderson, the director of the Mortal Kombat movie, and his reasons for getting involved in the process. We even get a whole section on the Aerosmith starring often lamented Revolution X,
I absolutely recommend you guys give Insert Coin a shot if your the slightest bit interested in arcades or gaming in general. It's very open and honest in they way they describe the times.

I might be a little biased as I am a really big fan of the Mortal Kombat Franchise. Overall I really enjoyed this documentary. It went over a lot about the franchise and the overall atmosphere of the gaming industry in the 90s. I enjoyed learning about Ed Boon and John Tobias a little more and the addition of Fatalities and origins of the characters. They go over multiple characters in depth like Johnny Cage, Scorpion and Kitana. I do wish they covered some of the villains such as Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn, but overall it was a great watch as a fan. I'd easily recommend it to anyone who loves arcade games or Mortal Kombat itself.
