SPARTACUS - Mortal Kombat Style

[dreamrequiem]

Series: Spartacus: Blood and Sand

Title: Blood Games

Music: "Mortal Kombat" by KMFDM

Description: The style in which these fight scenes were done reminded me of Mortal Kombat, which is one of my favorite video games. So the MK movie theme plus Spartacus? It was just asking to be put together.

WARNINGS: Lots of CGI blood and flying body parts.

This does indeed seem like a marriage of source + music that needed to be made!

[dreamrequiem]

Hehe I certainly thought so. Glad it worked :P

oh wow.

I don`t know the show, or the game, but, this vid is made of awesome.

I love how you`ve combined the clips and the song, the beat/clip matches you got.

This was a lot of fun, to watch a great vid like this.

Thank you for sharing.

First of all, thanks! It's always nice to hear from people who don't know the source material :o)

Second...what?? I can understand not being familiar with Spartacus since it's a relatively new series that aired on a premium channel and therefore takes longer to reach the rest of the country or even the world. But you've never heard of Mortal Kombat?? Never played it?? You are totally missing out, it's so much fun and totally over the top. So that you have a frame of reference, watch this MK gameplay - just view the first 45 seconds and you'll understand what I was going for lol.

Anyway, glad to hear you liked it so much even without being familiar with either source :o)

This is bloody fantastic! Mortal Kombat and Spartacus are such a perfect match *g*
I really love it :D
May I, please, have the password for the HQ download? This one is a keeper *g*

Thanks birggitt! Finally sent you a pm, sorry for the wait. I've been a bit AWOL!

Never played Mortal Kombat (Doom or Half-life were my kind of games) but that is a great theme song. I hope the Spartacus is as good as your vid :)

[dreamrequiem]

Doom was fun too but I can't believe anyone who's played video games hasn't played MK at some point! GO TRY IT. Actually, I prefer Primal Rage, which was basically MK with dinosaurs but that's mainly because of my love of fire and spike-shooting monsters :o)

Another fantastic vid, Reese! Love Spartacus, love the MK song, love your editing!

The whip & laugh were the standout parts and the action was synced within an inch of its life. Great stuff.

Thanks on all counts! It was one of those vids that's just so much fun to make, you sort of don't want to be done :P
