    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Hiroyuki Sanada tried to prepare for his role as Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion by playing Mortal Kombat video games. "Of course I was beaten every time, just losing and losing," he laughs. "But I kept at the games to keep learning the stories, the background and the characters. It was so much fun."
    • Goofs
      In the first fighting scene, Bi Han slammed Hanzo Hasashi's head on a huge rock, there's a blood splatter seen on the rock but Hanzo's head seems to be fine. And when they move from the rock, the blood splatter disappeared.

      Scorpion: GET OVER HERE!

      [pulls Sub-Zero to him]

    • Crazy credits
      The Warner Bros logo appears with fire burning beneath it, while the New Line Cinema logo gets covered in ice. Fire and ice are the powers of Mortal Kombat rivals Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

    7/10
    Amazing for fans (but improvable). For the rest... probably less so.
    The good: the story mostly works, the characterizations are insanely good (from costumes to personalities), and the movie is as gory and brutal as needed, actually way funnier than expected, and the CGI for the powers really great.

    The bad: the story is a bit messy, the characters motivations and reactions not always 100% natural and/or coherent, and the action and fights (with the exception of the ones with Scorpion) are fine, but the choreography and/or filming is kind of weak (easy to improve with a bigger budget and more talent on board).

    FAQ8

    • Will this be connected in any way to the Mortal Kombat: Legacy series?
    • The MK video game series is famed for its over-the-top gory finishing moves. Can the audience expect/hope to finally get a properly R-rated film adaption that properly represents this trademark?
    • Can someone tell if there is any post credits scene?
