Hey, I like anime opening songs too, but with a quirk: Italian anime intro songs. The Italians here at DW will probably be aware of the fact that in Italy, aside from the dubbing industry dubbing every foreign film, show or cartoon in Italian, there's also a flourishing parallel songwriting/performing industry that practically rewrites all anime intro songs in Italian, often with an original score.
Usually the end results are very different in style than the originals (e.g. Daltanious songs), sometimes very close (e.g. Cat's Eye, Sailor Moon) but sometimes they are as good or even superior. In Italy they are considered mainstream enough to even be played in clubs and discos(!), and sold in record shops, often remixed.
I have a large collection of those in MP3 format, which I acquired in 1999 through a series of fortunate circumstances, on CD-R, and I was even well-versed enough to sing some of them in karaoke parties. A Greek singing Italian opening songs of Japanese anime, ha! Betcha didn't know that!
Of course, in Greece none cares about Italian-made intro songs of Japanese anime, even if sung by a Greek :-(

They haven't made MK3 yet..
(I'm thinking you maybe got it mixed up with the Mortal Kombat tv series?)
Yeah, probably that. I must also be wrong about the dates, as I couldn't have viewed it in 1997...at most late 1998 or in 1999 at some point. Well, at the time I was all too happy to see yet another MK film, that I didn't care where it had come from :-p
Other things I enjoy are low-end action movies, ranging from what I call "budget kung-fu" to Steven Seagal's "masterpieces", passing through obscure direct-to-TV stuff like "American Kickboxer" (I'm stilll looking to find one that mixed kickboxing with hardcore Muay Thai) :-p
Ninja edit: nm it was aptly named "Kickboxer" and yikes, 5 sequels? Now THAT'S bound to be pretty low-end ;-)
