    Storyline

    • Trivia
      A third Mortal Kombat film was going to be developed, called "Mortal Kombat: Devastation". Christopher Lambert was cast as Lord Rayden, Linden Ashby as Johnny Cage, Adoni Maropis as Quan Chi, Robin Shou as Liu Kang, Chris Casamassa as Scorpion, Keith Cooke as Sub-Zero, and Lynn 'Red' Williams as Jax. Talisa Soto and Sandra Hess were in talks to reprise their respective roles of Princess Kitana and Lt. Sonya Blade. The plans fell through, and the film rights went to Warner Bros., who released a reboot film on April 23, 2021.
    • Goofs
      Annihilation continues where the first movie ended, but Sonya, Liu Kang, and Rayden are wearing completely different clothes.
    • Quotes

      Kitana: Mother! You're alive!

      Sindel: Too bad *you*... will DIE!

    • Crazy credits
      Out of respect for the people of Thailand, this motion picture contains no depictions of harm to any sacred Thai structures or simulations thereof.
    • Alternate versions
      Along with probably hours of unused fight scene footage, there have also been reports of a completely alternate ending to the film, where Shinnok is seen in the Netherealm conversing with the sorcerer Quan Chi, who is otherwise not seen in the film. All the ending consists of is Shinnok asking if everything is going according to plan, Quan Chi nods yes, and they both leave. This leaves things open for a third movie.

    Highly watchable crap.
    Yeah its flawed. Its idiotic. It doesn't follow the video game well enough. The acting is the worst you'll ever see anywhere. The fight scenes are pathetic and the choreography is even worse than its predecessor. The special effects are terrible and worse than you can possibly imagine. The storyline is nonexistent. There are a lot of scenes and parts which make no sense whatsoever. But at no point is it ever boring. So it is highly watchable despite being a piece of crap. If you be a fan of the MK franchise or are expecting a good movie, watch it to see how bad a movie can get, just for education. It does however take a special kind of talent to ruin a franchise and movie which already has a good plot in place (refer to the MK video games). This movie's entire cast and crew have that talent and so does a retard called Paul Anderson.
