Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChris Casamassa was hired to work as a stunt ninja. At the audition the producers were so impressed that he got the part of Scorpion.
- Goofs(at around 46 mins) During the fight scene in the woods between Johnny Cage and Scorpion, a white car is seen driving in the background on the left of the set.
- Quotes
Johnny Cage: [while fighting Goro] Those were $500 sunglasses, asshole.
- Crazy creditsThe closing credits contain symbols. These are a secret video game code (known in the series as a "Kombat Kode") that if used in the order they appear will obtain a special effect in Mortal Kombat 3 (1995).
- Alternate versionsThe TBS Superstation version removes some of the more violent sound effects, e.g. bones crunching or arms twisting, and also two bad words... The "I smell something" comment is followed by silence and the obscenity can only be seen being said. Also, complete removal of the offensive word after, "Those were $500 sunglasses", which worked out fine.

Featured review
"Mortal Kombat" in my opinion is just an awesome movie. I think because I was such a fan of the video games, the days when Sega was the "thang". LOL, way before Playstation there was Sega! But, I really just loved the characters and this story just always appealed to me. I think because also my friends and I enjoyed acting the movie and video game out. No, we didn't kill each other, we just loved the characters.
Yes, despite this being a typical video game movie, I still think it was cool to watch, still to this day I don't mind watching. It has an awesome soundtrack, excellent moves, and a great look and feel to the movie itself. Just let go and have fun with it, if you enjoyed the video games, I think you should enjoy "Mortal Kombat". It's just cool to watch and keeps you on the edge of your seat in excitement!
7/10
