GET OVER HERE! We Head to the Netherrealm with Chris Casamassa!

This week on The DizRadio Show, we are kicking down the doors of pop culture history with an absolute martial arts icon! We’re thrilled to welcome world-renowned martial artist, stunt master, and action legend CHRIS CASAMASSA to the show!

Whether you know him best for bringing one of video game history’s most terrifying and beloved ninjas to life, battling it out on Saturday morning television, or training generations of martial artists, Chris has left an indelible mark on 90s action cinema and beyond.

From Netherrealm to Gotham: Behind the Scenes with Chris

Chris sat down with the D-Team for an unforgettable conversation spanning his incredible career on and off the screen:

  • Playing Scorpion in Mortal Kombat & Mortal Kombat: Conquest: Chris takes us behind the scenes of the groundbreaking 1995 blockbuster Mortal Kombat. He breaks down how that legendary forest fight scene was executed and shares the fascinating backstory of film reshoots—revealing how test audiences loved Scorpion and Sub-Zero so much that the studio called them back to add even more action!

  • Dressing as the Dark Knight: Ever wonder what it’s like to step into Gotham? Chris shares what it was like donning the famous Batman suit to execute high-octane fight stunts in Batman & Robin.

  • Saturday Morning Royalty on WMAC Masters: We take a nostalgic trip back to the cult-classic series WMAC Masters, where Chris starred as “Red Dragon” alongside real-world martial arts champions.

  • Red Dragon Karate & Anti-Bullying: Beyond the screen, Chris discusses his lifelong martial arts journey running Red Dragon Karate and his passionate, tireless work promoting Anti-Bullying programs for youth across the country.

“Martial arts isn’t just about fighting—it’s about discipline, respect, and giving kids the confidence to stand up against bullying.” — Chris Casamassa

Jonathan & The D-Team Segment

Later in the broadcast, Jonathan from the D-Team jumps in to geek out over Mortal Kombat from a fellow martial artist’s perspective. Jonathan shares what it was like watching the 1995 film during his own early years in martial arts training, analyzing the evolution of screen fighting, choreographing practical stunts, and how Chris’s performance inspired an entire generation of martial artists to step onto the mat.
