What Is the Story About?

The trailer for the upcoming movie "Death Combat" makes this movie look very violent. In one scene, Mortal Kombat shows Sub-Zero cutting open the opponent's arm with a sword, freezing the resulting blood splash in a sword, and stabbing his enemy with that blood sword. But in an interview this week, producer Todd Garner told Verge that the violence of this movie is not as excessive as the classic game series.

"Compared with the game, we are like Bambi," Ghana said. "Compared with the game, we are like a G-rated movie. As far as violence is concerned, this game is incredibly maneuverable, and the American Film Institute will never let us do so much violence.

The battle in the game of Death Combat is cruel, and blood often appears after every punch, kick, throw, or weapon piece. The series is known for its deadly completion of the action, the characters murder opponents in extremely terrifying ways. (They usually involve some kind of dismemberment. Violence is part of the game, and as the series progresses, it will only become more extreme. In fact, it can be very bad and even affect the members of the development team. However, according to Ghana , The movie "Death of Combat" is not an attempt to use violence for the sake of violence.

"We are trying to make a movie where you care about the people. It is down to earth. It has a realistic tone. Violence comes from established world rules, but you are not just trying to make torture pornographic," he said. "You are trying to do something faithful to the IP, but you also come from a positive and down-to-earth place, motivated by real characters, and feel that they have been alive until this moment.

                                                                                    

In another interview, director Simon McQuade talked about his hope to correct the series by including violence, but it also allowed him to make a more realistic film. "I just want to do deadly Kangbart justice," McQuade said. "It's about researching and studying what is the basic ingredient of Death Combat. What is the key link of DNA that makes this point?

                                                                                   

He said: "Obviously, one of them is the brutality (of the series)." The blood aspect that I like, we can be real. We don't have to flinch from the fight. For example, if someone is stabbed in the head, "blood may be ejected from behind," McQuoid pointed out.

McQuade didn't just hypothetically said that the first 13 minutes of the movie I saw, it included a large, blade-filled battle scene. One of its most memorable moments was when a knife was pierced into someone's head. Yes, blood did seep from the wound.

But even though the film may give the impression of being too violent, "everyone knows that Motal Combat is known for this, and it can be done," McQuoid said. "This is not a big surprise. It is not Jane Austen's novel that we have become super violent. It would be bad. He said that violence is "important to property." "It allows us to be stylistically authentic, and [this is also] true for Vantaal Combat.

The new Death Combat movie will be released on April 16, and HBO Max will also be released.
