A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
Hoskins and Leguizamo were apparently drunk from start to finish.
I watched it a few years ago, and it's bad, but nowhere near as bad as you'd think.
There's an interesting fan edit on the web with a bunch of deleted scenes added. I guess Disney came in at the last minute ( like literally a few days before shooting) and butchered the script to make it more kid friendly. The actors and director were understandably pissed and pushed back but Disney always wins. They ended up with all these gritty looking sets and a kind of goofy dialog that just didn't match.
It's a bummer because it seems like there were some really cool ideas in the original story.
Got a link by chance?
Yes I think this was it. I had some trouble finding a working version ( it's been moved a few times since I found it on reddit a few months ago. This one is on internet archive and seems to be working still.

My brothers and I technically "watched" this film in the theater. I think the oldest of us at the time was 12, so the others would have been 9 and 3 at the time. My mother was unimpressed, and I remember it as the movie that would cement the rule that a video game movie will ignore the source material most of the time. Mortal Kombat only reinforced this impression, and I refuse to discuss the "Resident Evil" movies.
I will let you know if my initial distaste of the movie holds up.
Looks like it's movie night for me! Totally gonna get it up on my computer and enjoy the chaos that is this amazing film!
so... so bad, it's good?
No, not that far from bad.
