This video started as one of those random thoughts that had been bouncing around my head for years: the obvious narrative parallels between Mortal Kombat (1995) and Enter the Dragon (1973) that nobody seemed to talk about. Then one Friday after rewatching Enter the Dragon, I had the idea for this video. I recorded the voiceover in my closet using an old SM57 mic, threw together the split-screen comparisons, and posted it without much thought.
The result? Over 100,000 views in its first week, proving that sometimes a simple observation, presented clearly, is exactly what audiences want to see - regardless of production budget.
One month later I followed it up with
The Karate Kid: Daniel is the REAL Bully.
