movie mixed scissors scenes

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation


STARRING: James Remar Sandra Hess Robin Shou Talisa Soto Marjean Holden

ACCESS:video/i haven't seen it on tv yet.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: this fine sequel stays with the general formula set down
in the original. the fights are even more violent and the special effects more
spectacular. they do waste the talents of veteran tough girl Marjean Holden
who plays a powerful alien with four arms! she gets knocked off before she
gets to do anything. Christopher Lambert is replaced by James Remar as Radin
and Sandra Hess takes over as Sonja Blade in place of Bridgette Wilson. Robin
Shou and Talisa Soto also return in their original roles.

SCISSORS SCENE: during one of her many fights, Sonja uses her patented
handstand into a headscissors move. this time she flips the man to the ground
and nimbly comes up to a standing position, still holding him prisoner in her
calves. with one sudden twist, she breaks his neck and he slumps lifeless at
her feet.

POSITIVES: good setup, good camera work, good looking lady with tremendous
energy. this is also the only situation i know of where the same female
character scissored males in two different movies. by the way, i read that MK3
is being cast. will Sonja return for a record 3rd scissors? i sure hope so!

NEGATIVES: just one, but it's huge. too short! this was about 5 seconds long,
if that much. stay on your toes when you watch this. if you blink you are
going to miss it.

OVERALL RATING: **
