If I had to choose from relatively seasoned martial arts actresses I'd use
Katheryn Winnick as Sonya Blade
Yifei Liu as Kitana
Bernice Liu as Mileena
Francois Yip as Sindel
Does it really matter if she's well endowed or not? She looks like the character. If someone can teach her to fight or if she already knows then that should be enough, right?
nah I like my selection better. wow! Katheryn winnick and Scarlett J could almost be sisters!! Buuuuut, personally I have to go with Scarlett. she's been awesome in the Marvel movies proving she has the looks and the moves!
I would actually juxtapose Kelly Hu and Li Bingbing.
Kelly Hu played an awesome badgirl in X-2 in the form of Lady Death Strike. And she's beautiful
Li Bingbing has been a favorite of mine since she played the yi hing witch The Forbidden Kingdom and she's beautiful to boot. She's my Kitana.
Maggie Chung stays as my Sindel though. She's beautiful and has that regal essence about her. In "Hero" she was amazing! and carried an air of grace and beauty with her. She would play a great Sindel in my mind.
Nope my list is better!!!
Well to me, using a face as familiar as ScarJo just doesnt feel right with MK. Katheryn Winnick is a great actress, great martial artist....and she even use to be a bodyguard.
Katheryn Winnick's acting on Bones, Vikings, Tipping Point, and even episodes of House and CSI show she has a great range of talent and should be in an MK movie.

really? send a link please. I like being proven wrong every now and again.
Agreed!
Yip has that voice!!!
Bernice has that feistiness!!!
But Sam Jo as Kitana still and add Kelly Hu as Jade. Also, if Ali Larter is Sonya, it'll be like Bridgette Wilson in MK again.
Yifei looks A LOT like Pai Chan from Virtua Fighter btw.

This doesnt do her acting justice as much as the TV shows I mentioned...or Tipping Point.
Just watch Vikings on the History Channel to see how good she is. She adds alot more credibility to the whole "female bad ass" shtick than several actresses currently do but that's because she IS a badass considering she use to be a bodyguard.
Liu Kang - Shin Kodayama: I didn't like Brian Tee playing him. He's got no shaolin skills.
Kung Lao - Mike Moh: I like for Mark Dacascos to play Raiden instead.
Rain & Kenshi - Johnny Bosch & Dan Southworth: Two Power Rangers. Two martial arts actors deserve to be these characters.
Johnny Cage: Either Matt Mullins or Casper Van Diem. I don't see much martial arts experience on Casper.
Gonna have to say no to this. ,ark decoscos did the best job in mksl2 if u ask me. he played a great kung lao ( se what i did there)
the guy they have playing kenshi right now is doing a good job I wouldn't mind seeing him play kenshi in the movie.
