So it's kinda weird that Mortal Kombat has all these movie characters but not a single one of them from an actual martial arts movie, right?

I think Lui Kang fills that gap... would be interesting if they did manage to put Mr. Lee in though.

I dunno it'd be kind of weird tearing apart the depiction of a real life person that actually existed. Bruce Lee is a real dude...Terminator, Rambo, etc are fictional characters who are depicted by real life actors. Maybe put in like Kato from the green hornet or something.

I don't think Bruce Lee would fit, MK leans more towards over the top 80's violence, Bruce Lee's roles were never that. He's also thought of as Bruce Lee more than any of his characters (I love his films but couldn't name any of the characters he played) so I don't think it would sit right seeing this actor that died young getting ripped apart and mutilated the way he would in Mortal Kombat.

The closest I could think of that would fit would be JCVD's Luc Deveraux from Universal Solider. He doesn't use much martial arts in that movie but you could use some of his moves from other films.

The problem there is like Bruce Lee, he already has a fighter based on him in the game.

We've seen those before, that's not the first time those models were revealed.

Yes, and also Johnny Cage is JCvD!

Rambone looks a lot better here than he did in the CGI trailer.
