Every Flip in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) is the box-office flop follow-up to Mortal Kombat (1995). How is it possible that this movie bombed when during its 1h 23m run‑time, the audience is treated to 53 flips? That's 1 flip every 1.5 minutes or 0.66 flips per minute. I've extracted every flip from this movie for you to marvel.

I am defining a flip as an acrobatic stunt where the subject rotates completely upside-down (thus, discounting drill-like spins) without any contact with the ground (thus, discounting rolls and cartwheels). Assisted flips where an assistant throws the subject to perform the flip are valid so long as it is with the intent of a flip and not a fall.
