    Invincible heroes are boring

    Well, in response to the previous comment, I am a martial arts fan and I did not like this movie. The main reason is stated in my one-line summary: when the hero slaughters anonymous opponents by the dozen, as he often does here, it's not exciting - it's boring. There are only two good fight scenes in this movie: the one with the bald guy and the last one. These are the only ones where the villains put up much of a fight. As for the "no wires or special effects were used in the fight scenes" disclaimer, well, they used a lot of camera effects which in martial arts films is almost the same thing as special effects, as for the "no wires" part, it would be a lot more impressive if the lead (or anyone else) actually did anything that REQUIRES wires in the first place. Don't get me wrong, he obviously has the moves, but he doesn't do anything that I haven't seen before from guys like, say, Keith Cooke. The script is ambitious but ultimately silly, and the direction is often clueless as to how to shoot a fight scene. The actress who plays the hero's love interest packs a mean right punch - I'd like to see her again. (*1/2)

    Great Action... Unbelievable Martial Arts!!!

    Saw an early screener copy of this film. It has great action and unbelievable martial arts. HoSung Pak is great in the starring role, he is the next breakout martial arts star bar none. Try and get a copy of the DVD or see it soon in the theaters, but don't miss this one!!! The cinematography is great too... by the same guy who did project greenlight (the 1st one). HoSung Pak has a great screen presence, you've also seen him in Jackie Chan's film "The Legend of Drunken Master" and he was in the Video Game's Mortal Kombat I & II. The urban setting's in this film lend a great background to the dark and mystical storyline of the "Book of Swords" legend, the obstacles that HoSung's character has to encounter make a worthy counterpart to his high level of the arts.

    Liu Kang vs Johnny Cage

    I watched it in 2018 and this 1996 movie is poorly directed and poorly edited but is great to watch for those who has mortal kombat nostalgia, because of the actors/actresses who were playing the roles the MK games are all portraying same characters in this movie but with different names. Usually we say so bad it's good, but here we say it's so bad that it's epic great.

    The story is about detective Lang (Ho Sung Pak) who is chasing a gangster Taz (Richard Divizio) who is searching for the book of swords that can give him magical power. What they both don't know is the book can also release a soul of an evil warlord and whoevers body he takes over will have unlimited powers and only the Warrior who is born in the year of the dragon can stop him.

    I love this movie because of the nostalgia of 1996 and most of all the feeling of finally a real Mortal Kombat movie, specially the disco fight scene with Ho Sung Pak and Daniel Pesina , those two actors played Liu Iang and Johnny Cage in the game and when they had their epic battle in the disco in this movie I couldn't help screaming oh my god a MK movie coming to life.

    I recommend it to all mortal kombat fans, and it's my favorite I've watched in 2018.

    Why is this movie ranked so low ?????

    i wonder what kind of people watch this movie ??? I think martial arts lovers go out and see this movie !? Why is the ranking so low, because the martial arts is one of the best i've seen in years. good story, lots of action, lots of fighting. what more could an audience want? it was a tough decision to give the right ranking for this movie. Although the actors performance was good, if they have put a jet-Li or chow yun fat in the leading role it would have been a world wide success. one thing i didn't like about it was, that it took place in the u.s. the return of this tyrant is supposed to be a 500 year old Asian myth. Why did this have to take place in the us & why in the city of Chicago? The mix between Asians & Americans didn't bother me that much, but i think an Asian cast would have been better. and one point deduction for the city of Chicago. it would have been way cooler if it took place somewhere in the orient.

    My Final conclusion: Martial arts lovers "go to the blockbuster closest to your home and go see this movie".

    Every generation has a legend...every legend has a hero...and every hero must fight!

    This is a well-written, well-acted, spectacular film. BOOK OF SWORDS' star, Ho-Sung Pak, is one of the world's top Wushu practitioners and his on-screen charisma, action sequences and superb overall performance will take your breath away. As we watched the film, there was little doubt that we were witnessing the rise of a superstar. Ho-Sung is able to execute 4 to 5 kicks in midair and 720 degree kicks, butterfly twists, where his body spins one and a half rotations while being perfectly parallel to the ground - all without any help from wires!! Everything from the musical score to the photography in this film is top notch. It's been rumored that BOOK will be released theatrically in the US early 2005.
