On Kasanoff words:

"There were so many things that had been cut from the film and so many things that had been shot in a different way than they were written. Honestly, the final movie that's out there is not the final movie. There was supposed to be an entire second pass of visual effects, post-production, editing. But New Line said 'You know what? It's testing so well, it doesn't fucking matter. It still gonna be a hit. And by the way, it was."

"And by the way, it was."

Are they fucking kidding me?

I read that book too! The studio decided to release the film as it was, even though the special effects crew insisted they weren't done yet.

They wanted the timing to coincide (more or less) with Mortal Kombat 4, so that the game and the movie could promote each other. Kanasoff stated he would have preferred to have an additional 6 months worth of time to make a better movie.

Would it have helped? My gut tells me they would need to do quite a bit more than simply finish the special effects, but I'm not a professional filmmaker so it's possible 6 more months might have done the trick.

Hi ]{0MBAT, very interesting. Can you scan these pages and put it here?
