In an article on the site written by Megan Farokhmanesh,
This is how they described the Kumawood version of Mortal Kombat;
“The Kumawood production of Mortal Kombat may be the best adaptation of the series, but my opinion is limited to a couple minutes of footage. The Ghana-based filmmakers rethink Mortal Kombat as the story of Kitana, a princess whose homelands are invaded. The video pulls a lot from the original games, from costume design and sound effects to mimicking the side-scrolling style of the fighting franchise. But what it captures that other Mortal Kombat lack is the glee of play. Where the classic films were grim and tacky B-movies, there appears, in this footage, a sincere love not just of the source material, but how people experience Mortal Kombat as a video game.
I want the full version, immediately.”
