This month,FUNimationis offering up some live-action adaptations of the incredible manga/anime series,Death Note. These include the original 2006 feature and its sequel, released in the same years as the anime series itself, as well as the less stellar 2016 sequel that picked things up a decade later, but missed the mark a bit. (All three of these movies are still better than the bad decision that was the 2017 Westernized remake....

That’s because the 1995’sMortal KombatcastChristopher Lambertas Lord Raiden, while the God of Thunder is originally intended to be depicted as Japanese.

As such, Sky High had to take as “cult” a route as any Disney movie can....
