Karl Urban Has a Cage Match in Flawless ‘Mortal Kombat II’ Teaser

Although Mortal Kombat II isn’t getting its first official trailer until tomorrow, Warner Bros. is hyping up viewers with a very different teaser for one of its stars’ upcoming blockbusters. From New Line Cinema, the studio behind the very real smash hits Cool Hand Cage, Hard to Cage, and Rebel Without a Cage, comes the movie everyone has really been waiting for — Uncaged Fury, the latest revolutionary action flick from the Jean-Claude Van Damme-inspired icon, Johnny Cage. The video is just a taste of the high-octane martial arts that Karl Urban‘s Hollywood superstar is bringing to the table, filled with daring fight scenes, cool shades, and not enough guys to bring down the Cage. Just remember not to touch the sunglasses. Best of all, this can’t-miss epic is coming to theaters this October when the video game adaptation sequel hits the big screen.

Stylized like a classic 80s action movie, complete with a deep voice-over, era-appropriate music, and the over-the-top Cage himself, the teaser opens with Johnny cornered in a warehouse by a bunch of thugs ready to take him down. However, as soon as he puts on his shades and flips off his foes at the same time, it’s clear that they messed with the wrong guy. He effortlessly flips through throwing knives, stops nearly every attack that comes his way, and even shows off his skills with a staff. Even when the goons land a punch and knock off his precious $500 sunglasses, that only serves to piss him off more and kick butt even harder. Of course, what would this cheesy action sequence be without Cage doing the splits mid-air to avoid an incoming missile that instead hits the gang’s helicopter? Clearly, he’s got the moves to make it in Mortal Kombat.
