Was Lui Kang supposed to be gay in this film?


1). He had an unusually girly appearance

2). There were no women in that temple. It was just him and Kung Lao (*hint*)

3). He seemed emotionally distressed at Kung Lao’s death to an unusual degree. He also said, “We were supposed to die together,” which sounds romantic

4). Kano makes a joke about Lui Kang being “Magic Mike.” That reference might hint at Lui’s gayness

Yeah, he looked like a teenage girl cosplaying as Liu Kang. Turns out the actor - Ludi Lin is 33 years old.
Also, with that epic "we must train" talk he looked and talked like a character from a totally diferrent movie.

neah, he said that Kung Lao was his cousin (if I remember right) and they for sure were not from Alabama ...

I think the casting in this film was horrible at best. Only one good actor in the whole film and he doesn't get much screen time, other than in the intro scene, which is basically used to sell the film to the audience.
