I don't why, but I simply didn't expect this to be so silly. It's basically Mortal Kombat without the magic...and with, ya know, a plot. Not that that's a bad thing...I like Mortal Kombat, so a better version of that is a win. The action style and cinematography has been parodied so much it's hard not to laugh at times (fight grunts, quick zooms), but Lee is impossible to deny. He wasn't just great in the combat; the dude was just a straight-up movie star.
