Hong Kong based martial artist and actor Robin Shou (real name Shou Wan Por) is best known for his butt-kicking monk character, Liu Kang — who battles it out with the Outworld to save the Earthrealm from impending doom — in the classic 1995 action movie, “Mortal Kombat,” and the 1997 sequel, “Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.”
Shou kicked it with an awesome cast including Talisa Soto as the flip-flopping Outworld Princess, Kitana, Bridgette Wilson as the military fighter, Sonya Blade, … and, of course, Christopher Lambert as the lord of lightning, Lord Raiden.
