Although the official trailer for Mortal Kombat II<\/a> won’t drop until Thursday, July 17, Warner Bros. has released a fake movie-within a-movie trailer for Uncaged Fury, a faux 1990s action movie<\/a> starring Johnny Cage (played in that film by Karl Urban). <\/p>\n

You can watch that trailer via the player above or the embed below.<\/p>\n

The trailer is in the style of the kind of cheesy \u201890s action movies that might have starred the likes of Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Gary Daniels, Jeff Speakman or Michael Dudikoff.<\/p>\n

The overly serious voiceover tells viewers \u201cThey pissed him off \u2026 They fucked with his shades \u2026 They should have brought more guys.\u201d <\/p>\n

We see logos for Johnny Cage\u2019s other \u201890s films: Cool Hand Cage, Hard to Cage, and Rebel Without a Cage.<\/p>\n

And in a nice touch, those three fake movies and Uncaged Fury were all made by New Line Cinema, the real-life studio behind the Mortal Kombat movies of the \u201890s (and the 21st century reboot and its upcoming sequel).<\/p>\n

The trailer depicts a martial arts melee inside a warehouse between Cage and some goons (who are dressed in true \u201890s fashion). There are flips and kicks and Johnny Cage utters \u201cshowtime!\u201d right before he fights.<\/p>\n

After Johnny takes care of the guys, a lady in a red dress shows up with a rocket launcher and fires at him. Johnny does an absurdly high leap, with the missile soaring just under his crotch and then, defying physics based on the angle it was fired, curling upwards and taking out a helicopter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The only real hint at Mortal Kombat itself is the franchise logo that quickly flickers in and out over the closing title for Uncaged Fury. <\/p>\n
