The Last Video Store

A tournament of fatalities is how you’d have to describe the new action sequel MORTAL KOMBAT II. It’s a real pleasure to get to sit down with director Simon McQuoid to talk how you even build a film like that. Simon is a true lover of film, a video store kid and someone who may surprise you with what he picks up. MORTAL KOMBAT II is out NOW and it is a ton of ferocious fun.
