If you thought keeping the township of Beacon Hills safe was a tough task, imagine the pressure of having to save the world against an other-wordly, four-armed monster. We’ll leave it to the pros, thankyouverymuch.
But Linden Ashby — aka the famed Sheriff Stilinski on “Teen Wolf” — has no problem fighting evildoers. In 1995, he took on the role of movie star Johnny Cage in “Mortal Kombat,” a film adaptation of the insanely popular eponymous video game. And so, in honor of #TBT, we thought we’d take a little look back at his role.
In “MK,” Cage, who was perceived to be a little soft by Hollywood media standards, got the chance to prove himself when he was thrust into an inter-galactic battle. The character was one of three warriors handpicked by the god of lightning, Raiden, to stave off the evil Outworld from winning a 10th successive Mortal Kombat tournament. The victory would mean the wicked Emperor Shao Kahn would gain control of Earth, and naturally, our Ashby wasn’t ready to let that happen.
After many gruesome battles, Cage successfully KO’d Prince Goro and secured peace for humankind (as if he would settle for any less). Check out the flick’s biggest battle below, tell us if you remember seeing Ashby in “Mortal Kombat” and stay tuned to MTV News for more “Teen Wolf” updates!
