The live-action Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series takes a lighter turn this week, taking a break from shattered arms and broken faces to focus on Hollywood’s sweetheart, Johnny Cage.
Electric Playground’s Victor Lucas kicks off episode three of Mortal Kombat: Legacy with a look back at the life of Johnny Cage, complete with a cameo by Ed Boon and several references to the Power Rangers. Cage actor Matt Mullins was never in the Power Rangers, of course, but he came pretty damn close, portraying Len in Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight.
This has to be my favourite episode of the series so far, especially when Cage’s visitor shows up at the very end.

Episode 1 and 2 dealt with Sonya Blade, Jax, Kano and Stryker, as their stories are (mostly) linked. 3 deals with Johnny Cage singularly (except for the cameo at the end), as his ties to other characters are very loose at best. 4 will deal with Kitana and Mileena, and a future episode will deal with Sub Zero and Scorpion.

Johnny killed goro. After goro smashed his glasses. He’s cocky he’s cool and he killed the 4 armed giant. He’s one bad ass dude.
