This movie (unlike the second one) committed one cardinal sin. It had a workable story so it took itself seriously in spite of extremely low budget and extremely low movie-making skills of the crew. Instead of being (for example) like Mortal Kombat the movies (by the way, Sandra Hess played Sonya Blade in MK2 as her next role) it's closer to Mortal Kombat: Conquest (the awful series). This whole movie looks like a pilot and uses all of those TV rules about violence, language, over-exposition in a scene etc.
Few complaints beside the main point...
Second part was in the future parallel dimension. OK. This one is apparently first in Egypt or middle east (Casper Van Dien has a Pharaoh-like costume, and camels and people in dresses and shorts (and boxers) are all over the place) and then South America (with the wild pygmy tribe).
As in the first one, people alone and even villages here get ambushed way too much. Didn't they have f-ing outposts in the dark ages? Or eyes for that matter? Surprise attacks are happening all over the place, sometimes simply by bad guys jumping in front of the characters.
And what's the deal with the glasses on that "Albert Einstein" guy? He bought them at his eye doctor's?
Not to forget to mention that apparently all tiger actors and trainers were busy at the time of the filming. Ra was first a black tiger, then a regular tiger and finally a Lion. The cat just can't make up its mind.
