2 funny story jokes I cracked revolving around Gen....


....primarily because he was played by Robin Shou (a.k.a. Liu Kang in both Mortal Kombat movies)

I hope you find them funny.

WARNING: I may get too carried away with these....

after Gen shows Chun Li the flier for the Street Fighter tournament and mentions Ryu

I'm sorry, I don't remember the whole dialogue for that scene because I only rented this movie once.

JOKE #1

*Gen: "We better start recruiting." (if I recall, he said that)

*Chun Li: "Are you going to enter this Street Fighter tournament, Gen?"

*Gen: "No, I'm actually going to be entering a different tournament."

*Chun Li: "What tournament is that?"

*Gen: "It's a tournament called Mortal Kombat."

*Chun Li: "Mortal Kombat?"

*Gen: "Yep, it's an ancient tournament which has been fought on an island for many generations and has warriors from Earth battling warriors from another world."

*Chun Li: "Warriors from another world?"

*Gen: "Oh yeah, I hear it's hosted by a sorcerer who can steal souls."

*Chun Li: "A sorcerer who steals souls?"

*Gen: "The sorcerer owns the island. I hear that there is a ninja who can freeze, a ninja who can shoot something out of his hand and a big 4 armed beast who they say has been undefeated for 9 generations."

*Chun Li: "This all sounds too weird, Gen."

*Gen: "Really? Well......" suddenly, a Spear hit's Gen "AAAHHHH!"

*Chun Li: looks off into the distance "Who the hell is that?"

*Gen: looks up to see Scorpion "Oh [BEEP]!"

*Chun Li: "Do you need help, Gen?"

*Gen: "No, I can handle this guy by my...."

*Scorpion: retracts his Spear pulling Gen toward him "GET OVER HERE!"

Battle between Gen and Scorpion ensues and for dramatic effect, Immortal by Adema plays in the background

JOKE #2

*Gen: "We better start recruiting." (if I recall, he said that)

*Chun Li: "Are you going to enter this Street Fighter tournament, Gen?"

*Gen: "No, I'm actually going to be entering a different tournament."

*Chun Li: "What tournament is that?"

*Gen: "It's a tournament called Mortal Kombat."

*Chun Li: "Mortal Kombat?"

*Gen: "Yep, it's an ancient tournament which has been fought on an island for many generations and has warriors from Earth battling warriors from another world."

*Chun Li: "Warriors from another world?"

*Gen: "Oh yeah, I hear it's hosted by a sorcerer who can steal souls."

*Chun Li: "A sorcerer who steals souls?"

*Gen: "The sorcerer owns the island. I hear that there is a ninja who can freeze, a ninja who can shoot something out of his hand and a big 4 armed beast who they say has been undefeated for 9 generations."

*Chun Li: "This all sounds too weird, Gen."

*Gen: "Really? Well......" suddenly, Gen is hit by an Ice Ball and is frozen solid

*Chun Li: "Gen!" tries talking to Gen to see if he can still hear her "Gen? Can you hear me?" no reaction "Who the hell did this?"

*a voice character wouldn't be shown just yet: "I did...."

*Chun Li: Turns around to see the original Sub-Zero standing there "Who are you?"

*Sub-Zero: "I am Sub-Zero, a member of the Lin Kuei Ninja Clan and I am also a master over the power of Ice."

*Chun Li: "You're gonna pay for what you did to Gen, my master!"

*Sub-Zero: ".....Gen? No, that guy's name is Liu Kang, isn't it? Did that guy not just say he'll be entering the Mortal Kombat tournament?"

*Chun Li: "What is it to you?"

*Sub-Zero: "That's my business and not yours...."

a battle between Chun Li and Sub-Zero ensues and for dramatic effect, the Reptile battle theme from the 1st Mortal Kombat movie plays in the background

*Chun Li: after doing her Spinning Bird Kick and knocking Sub-Zero down, Chun Li prepares to finish Sub-Zero "Now, thaw Gen or I'll finish you myself." suddenly, Scorpion teleports in "Another 1?"

*Scorpion: "If anyone is gonna kill Sub-Zero here, it's gonna be me! I have an old score to settle with him!"

*Chun Li: "You'll have to go through me first."

*Scorpion: "With pleasure..." fires his Spear at Chun Li and pulls her toward him "GET OVER HERE!" Chun Li manages to break free of Scorpion's Spear

Sub-Zero get's back up

*Sub-Zero: "Back off Scorpion! She's mine!"

*Scorpion: "I'm here to make sure this Street Fighter doesn't kill you. When I'm finished with her, I'll deal with you."

*Sub-Zero: he, Chun Li and Scorpion all get into their fighting stances "Now, where were we?"

*Scorpion: to Chun Li "What do you think of this!" removes his mask to reveal his flaming skull

*Chun Li: "Holy [BEEP]" Scorpion breaths fire and Chun Li dodges it and she also dodges an Ice Ball thrown by Sub-Zero

suddenly, there is a flash of light accompanied by lightning bolts which zap Scorpion and Sub-Zero and send them flying

*Rayden: "ENOUGH!" looks over at Chun Li "Are you OK?"

*Chun Li: "That 1 guy froze my master, Gen and...."

Rayden thaws Gen

*Gen: "What just happened?"

*Rayden: "You were frozen. Sub-Zero thought you were Liu Kang."

*Gen: "Liu Kang? Who the hell is Liu Kang?"

*Liu Kang: enters] "I am Liu Kang."

*Liu Kang and Gen (in unison): "You look just like me!"

Wow. I didn't think anything could be worse than the movie itself. Looks like I was wrong.

BTW, REAL JOKES have a setup and a punchline...

I just put those up to see what people think (if anyone beside me found them funny)

I'll admit these probably aren't my best jokes.

I think I have an easier time cracking jokes about a movie like Grease.

It's so [BEEP]ing easy to crack jokes about characters in that movie because all the actors looked like they were in their 30s and 40s and playing high school kids.

I'm not exactly Mike Nelson or whoever else is involved in Rifftrax but I try to crack jokes about movies like they do.

Like in The Dark Knight, someone (drawing a blank of who) cracked a joke saying "Building Tops: The Motion Picture" because it shows so many shots of building tops.

I was looking at a review of this movie on YouTube and they say it's like Robin Shou switched sides or something like that (I don't recall exactly what was said but). It was basically saying you can't have an actor who played in the Mortal Kombat movies play in a Street Fighter movie. It would be like putting William Shatner in Star Wars.

That was where I got the idea for my jokes.

LOL, would have only made the movie better.

Nicksolo, dude, seriously, in all seriousness, and all due respect...don't quit your day job man.
