#young hiroyuki sanada

My first gif set of Hiroyuki Sanada as Momochi Takamaru in Shogun’s Ninja (1980). When this movie was shot he was 19 and it shows in his acting, but his martial skills were already amazing (his 'leg game' too, but I digress here 🤣). Nice 'wink' in the 4th gif too 😉

The movie is pure action and all stunts are well executed too, but if you don’t like action or ninja/samurai movies there's not much else in it, the plot is basically an excuse to show the rest.

P.S. bonus points to the costume department staff who decided that Hiroyuki Sanada had to be half naked for 80% of the movie 🤣🤣

Woah. Hiroyuki had a nice figure!

Huge thanks to the Mortal Kombat 2021 movie for making Short King Hanzo canon!😌💅🏾✨️

You BET this universe's Bi-Han has LOADS of fun with his Hanzo, and it's up to Hanzo's grandkid to come to his defence!😂

Please, Cole, save your short grandpa, he'll commit murder✊️😔

And to all my Andrew Koji Kuai Liang believers:

TALL KING KUAI!

You bet he would make fun of Bi-Han for this one (1) centimetre, lol!

Bi-Han: Of course I'm in charge, I'm older!

Kuai: But I'm taller.

Bi-Han: FOR ONE CENTIMETRE!

Kuai: What, gonna cry, shortie?

Bi-Han, already crying: I hate you...

Also, also, also cause they are too important to let slide:

Look at my perfect staircase trouple!! 🩷💛💙

And in line to make a pan flag, they are MEANT👏🏾 TO👏🏾 BE!👏🏾

Movie: Mortal Kombat (2021) | dir. by Simon McQuoid

Kano and Cole Young spar and fight, but Cole is unmotivated and takes blow after blow, while Liu Kang watches. Sonya approaches him to listen to him, he misses his family and thinks that he is not in the right place, so Lord Raiden approaches them and tells Cole that he deserves to be there, because his ancestor was Hanzo Hasashi, and he is surprised.

Stills of a very young Hiroyuki Sanada from the Japanese TV series Shinkansen Kōankan (1977). He was a little cutie here but already a good actor. It made me smile a little that he wasn't wearing a T-shirt or jeans even at 17 😆

FMK Mortal Kombat Edition. Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Cole 🙃

Lmfaooooo wow this seems a bit twisted.

I am going to assume you mean the new MK. Damn tough choice.

Marry Scorpion. I have always been a scorpion girl and hello Hiroyuki Sanada has been aging like fine wine.

I don't think I can complete the rest. 🤣

F**k Sub-Zero although ice place is not my thing (I don't think 🤔) Joe Taslim is 🤤 and it could be a good time and an interesting story to tell. If I live 🙃

I'm not killing Cole. There ain't no way. If I marry Scorpion doesn't that make him my descendant too? Cole lives. 😉

I know it may seem like a pretty problematic choice, but I would really like to see Andrew Koji as Kuai Liang in the next Mortal Kombat movie and I have a few reasons why I would like him to be cast:

1- Andrew looks a little bit like Kuai Liang from MK11:

In his role as Storm Shadow, even without a beard and with the scar on his eye, he looks like Kuai Liang, he even gives an air of a young Kuai Liang.

2-He has excellent chemistry with Joe Taslim:

In the Warrior series you can see the incredible chemistry that both have and they are very good friends in real life. I feel like the relationship they have would help make the fact that Bi-Han and Kuai Liang are brothers believable, it would even feel more natural. Can you imagine a flashback of both brothers in the Lin Kuei played by these two?

3- He also has incredible chemistry with Hiroyuki Sanada:

In the movie Bullet Train they both play the role of father and son, and despite the little time on screen that we saw them interact together, their chemistry was simply incredible and perfect. With Mr. Sanada being confirmed as Scorpion for the sequel, and knowing all the development that this pair will have until they become allies, wouldn't it be incredible to see them both together again this time playing out the biggest and best-known rivalry in the entire game?

4-Andrew deserves more recognition:

Seeing what an incredible martial artist and actor he is thanks to his role in Warrior I feel like he hasn't made a name for himself in the industry yet despite also acting in Bullet Train and Snake Eyes and it's sad because he really He deserves people to recognize the incredible talent he has and I feel like a role like Sub Zero in a commercial movie like Mortal Kombat would really help boost his career.

I know that this casting choice is even controversial because Andrew is not Chinese but Japanese and the film has greatly respected the ethnicities of the characters in the saga and I am very happy about this, so I want it to be clear that this is just a fancast and It is something that I would like to happen and they will not listen to me for that reason. Any actor cast in the future for the role will make me happy and satisfied because Kuai Liang is another of my favorite characters in the game despite the fact that many believe otherwise, and whoever plays him in the future will have my support since at the end of the day he will give life to a character that is dear to me.

Toshiro Mifune & Hiroyuki Sanada, known for nailing their Samurai roles, from young till of old age.

Well, we must most definitely have to differentiate between Hiro and Tora here, because yeah, young Hiro isn't working but young TORA... Yes, I can see it

You've heard of Manny as young Tony Leung

BUT HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF MANNY AS YOUNG HIROYUKI SANADA, THE LORD TORANAGA

DO YOU SEE THERE'S A VISION????

Movie: Mortal Kombat (2021) | dir. by Simon McQuoid

Cole Young misses his wife and daughter, and he thinks he doesn't deserve to be in that tournament, because he still hasn't discovered his inner power; then Lord Raiden explains about his ancestor Hanzo Hasashi, who was a great warrior, but he was cruelly killed. Lord Raiden rescued Hanzo Hasashi's daughter, and he descends from her, so his participation in the Tournament is inherited by his ancestor. Still, Lord Raiden allows Cole Young to leave, and teleports him back to his house with his family.

I'm willing to teach a class, tbh /j

Anyway, if I had to change one for thing for the au, it'd be the Elder being played by Jackie Chan, but that's a pipe dream.
