Wasn't it because he had turned mortal or something? All mortals have shorter hair than gods of course!
I stopped MK2 about 30 minutes in and just said "eff this" and returned it to blockbuster. I tried it more recently, after seeing the original movie and enjoying it... and within 20 minutes, it was back in its Netflix sleeve and sitting in my mailbox.
The games are fun... but god, that second movie is awful.

I still remember watching Mortal Kombat, I think the same day I've seen Pulp Fiction. Wouldn't be surprised if those two movies fucked me up completely, as I was about 10 years old then.
I liked the second movie too, because only there i could watch Jax and Cyrax and other chars portrayed. It was fun..mindless, plot-less fun.
Looking forward to the 3rd one!

The first movie was greate - as I wrote on my cblag - but the second, was for me a mess. C'mon. It was bad.
I don't remember what I did when Raiden showed up as mortal, but it was propably a WTF moment. Well the whole movie was a little: wtf did they do to a good clasic xD
O, and thers a third one comming next year (or so they say) ... c'mon butcher rest of my childhood memories and make a god damn Syndicate movie!!!! I dare YOU!!!

It may be because it's 6:30 in the morning here and I just got off work, but that was freaking hilarious to me.
Also, the worst part of the Mortal Kombat movies for me? Being around 8 or 9 and seeing the evil, shape-shifting, soul-stealing wizard Shang Tsung, the guy who could shoot freaking skulls at people, play the dad in that Disney movie Johnny Tsunami. Being young and stupid, I thought he actually was Shang Tsung, and thought that Johnny was gonna get punched into a spike pit the whole movie. >_>
Oh, and seeing Liu Kang later show up as some cruel bastardization of Gen in that ass of a Chun Li movie kinda sucked too.

Raiden straight up just says "What? I got a hair cut." Nothing to do with him becoming a mortal. They lost the prop wig on their twenty dollar movie set (it really is the worst effects I've ever seen in a major motion picture, adjusted for inflation) and that's all they bothered with to work it into the film; the other characters look at him cross-eyed and he explains that it's exactly what it looks like.
What the fuck was up about the second MK movie was that it stunk. If you're going to nitpick about that piece of garbage, Raiden was a totally different person in the second movie! How did that happen? :)
Also, how do you get a middle name of CTZ? What's up with that?

I loved how they killed Johnny Cage in the first 5 seconds of MK2. Or how they rolled around in giant AtlasSpheres from Gladiators. Or how Sub Zero came back to life. Most worthless film ever.
The first was pure cheese, but at least the soundtrack was thumping. But what do you expect from the same guy who brought you the Resident Evil films (garbage) and the god-awful AvP (fucking weak also)?

My old Karate instructor was in Mortal Kombat Annihilation, as "one of many masked ninjas"

Hey, Raiden turned into awesome actor James Remar (The Warriors, Dexter, originally Hicks in Aliens) and that's a step up from Christopher Lambert. So stop bitching! :)
At least I think it was James Remar!

You've never followed Mortal Kombat at all have you? Sub-Zero died in the first game too, killed by Scorpion. He returned in MK2 but it was revealed that he was the original Sub-Zero's younger brother. The original Sub-Zero from MK1 eventually became Noob Saibot.
The second MK movie was a nonsensical piece of shit, but I remember Sub-Zero clearly stating that very fact right after meeting Liu Kang. So the original Sub-Zero, just as in the games, still remained dead.

I remember it being funny that everybody was just getting killed off left and right. I was excited when Sheeva was finally supposed to fight and thinking WTF as she gets crushed by a cage just as it's about the start.
My favorite part of the second movie was were Jax tore of the surgical implants on his arms cause he believed he could win by his own strength. That touched me. A very deep oscar worthy scene.
@hellfire: Actually, James Remar was the original Hicks before he fell out with James Cameron on-set two weeks in. He was then replaced by Biehn. Remar pops up twice in the movie, but since his back to the camera, there was no need for re-shoots. There's pics of him floating around with the Colonial Marines armour, but that's about it for Remar's work on the film.
Crap pedantic movie triva I know, but that's why I said 'original Hicks'.
