Warner Bros. has decided to «sweeten» fans’ expectations ahead of the first trailer for Mortal Kombat 2» and released a teaser for the non-existent Johnny Cage movie by Karl Urban.
In the 1990s-style action movie, Cage easily dispatches thugs before being shot with a bazooka — a problem that turns out to be solved with a single jump.
«They pissed him off… They played with his sunglasses… We should have brought more guys», — an overly serious voice says off-screen.
The video mentions, among other things, some of the character’s previous films, such as «Cool Hand Cage», «Hard to Cage» and «Rebel Without a Cage» from New Line Cinema. Interestingly, some people initially confused this video with the actual trailer for «Mortal Kombat 2» — but this is just a teaser for it, We expect a full-fledged one tonight.
To continue the theme of Cage’s acting talents, Warner Bros. even created a separate page for the character on IMDb (though it exists only on a screenshot) with a biography and a list of his most popular films.
