Hiroyuki Sanada and Joe Taslim in Mortal Kombat (2021)

Quotes

Mortal Kombat

Edit
  • Scorpion: GET OVER HERE!
  • [pulls Sub-Zero to him]
  • Shang Tsung: The prophecy is upon us which means we could lose the tenth tournament.
  • Sub-Zero: There is no prophecy. Hanzo is a ghost. I killed him centuries ago.
  • Shang Tsung: Winning Mortal Kombat cannot be left to chance. There will be no tournament because there will be no opposition left to fight. We will already be victorious. Go now and kill Earthrealm's champions... Bi-Han.
  • Sub-Zero: I am no longer Bi-Han. I am Sub-Zero.
  • [Kung Lao cuts Nitara in half with his hat]
  • Kung Lao: Flawless victory!
  • Hanzo Hasashi: You hoped that I would burn in the flames of hell... but instead, I learned to control them.
  • Kano: [tears Reptile's heart out] Kano wins. You fuckin' beauty.
  • Sonya Blade: Throughout history, different cultures all over the world reference a great tournament of champions. That dragon marking, I think it's an invitation to fight for something known as Mortal Kombat.
  • Shang Tsung: FINISH THEM!
  • Jax: [smashes in Reiko's face] Yeah, these motherfuckers work.
  • Liu Kang: You're angry.
  • Kano: Oh, fucking nothing gets by you, does it?
  • Liu Kang: Good. You should be.
  • Kung Lao: You failure.
  • Kano: Failure? Fucking failure? Let me educate you, motherfucker. I'm Kano! I'm the Black fucking Dragon! And who are you two, huh? You're some fucking cave-dwelling hippie twirling his anal beads, taking orders from this Wushu wanker who wears a hubcap as a helmet! Now, sit down, shut up and pass me a fucking egg roll!
  • Liu Kang: [to Kano about Kung Lao] Let me ask you this. Why would you jeopardize the goodwill of the only chance of your survival?
  • Kano: Princess, why don't you try being one of them silent monks?
  • Liu Kang: No, no, you misunderstand. He is here to save you because you cannot save yourself.
  • Kano: Oh fuck, here we go...
  • Liu Kang: You're like... an aggressive little bunny. Soft and useless. Angry mentally, physically.
  • [gestures to Kung Lao]
  • Liu Kang: You should be on your knees before this man.
  • Kano: [standing up] I've a better idea. How about you two get on your knees and take turns sucking my sack? Do you have any fucking idea who you're talking to? I'm wanted in over 35 countries for shit you fucking ballerinas couldn't even imagine!
  • Liu Kang: The fate of Earth is in OUR hands.
  • Kano: [to Kung Lao] Well, how about I take that stupid fucking sombrero you're wearing, shove it so far up your ass, you start speaking Spanish.
  • Sonya Blade: [describing Kano to Cole] He's a mercenary with The Black Dragon clan. Arms dealer, drug runner, murder-for-hire, scum of the Earth.
  • Kano: I also give really good foot massages.
  • Sonya Blade: I was tracking another champion. I was lucky enough to find Kano here instead. Right after he slit the guy's throat.
  • Kano: You know, next time be more punctual.
  • Kano: Alright, just circling back on those superpowers. I think I get it now. It's kinda like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get. Is it gonna be fireballs? Is it gonna be lightning? Huh? Could be shit. Could be a Frisbee hat, you know? No offense, whoever you are.
  • Kung Lao: The name is Kung Lao. Descendant of the Great Kung Lao. The grand champion of the Order of Light.
  • Kano: Never heard of him.
  • Shang Tsung: [Nitara appears before Mileena, Reiko, and Kabal] The great hunter, Nitara. She is beautiful, isn't she?
  • Kabal: Yeah, that screech is a real turn-on.
  • [first lines]
  • Harumi Hasashi: I'm going to need more than two buckets.
  • Satoshi 'Jubei' Hasashi: [hears baby cry] Can I check on my sister?
  • Hanzo Hasashi: Go. See to your sister.
  • Sub-Zero: For the Lin Kuei.
  • Kano: [fighting Sonya] You owe me 3 million dollars!
  • Cole Young: [sees the Mortal Kombat photo] The word "combat" isn't even spelled right.
  • Sonya Blade: You were never chosen. Fate has better standards than you.
  • Kano: Lucky for you I don't have any standards.
  • Goro: Now I tear out your spine, champion!
  • Mileena: Sub-Zero tracked and killed another one of Earth's champions, but another has escaped.
  • Shang Tsung: Have our assassins double their efforts.
  • Mileena: What of Lord Raiden? If he discovers we're breaking rules set in stone by the Elder Gods...
  • Shang Tsung: Leave the Elder Gods to me. We didn't win nine straight tournaments by following the rules. Mileena, let's finish this. Send in the reptilian, Syzoth.
  • Raiden: [seeing Cole, Sonya, and Kano for the first time] This is what I have to work with?
  • Shang Tsung: Take whatever trophies you desire, but their souls are mine.
  • Liu Kang: There are not many of us with the marking left, so you must train harder and fast. Because if you fail to discover your inner power, you will never defeat your opponent. They will ravage everything you hold dear. There will be no mercy. You must fight without question. The Dragon has swallowed many before us.
  • [to Kano, who has stolen Shinnok's amulet during his speech]
  • Liu Kang: Now, put that back.
  • Kano: Put what back?
  • Kung Lao: I'll dumb it down for you. Fat lazy pig.
  • Kano: What did you say?
  • Kung Lao: Terrible fighter... zero skill.
  • Kano: You got a death wish, mate?
  • Kung Lao: Combat takes intelligence, but you... You're like a dog. A dog who fails his training classes.
  • Kabal: This is fucking tragic. Look at yourself. You used to be someone to fear. You've fallen down a long way since you led the Black Dragon.
  • Kano: You don't tell me about the Black Dragon. I am the Black Dragon!
  • Kabal: Which one's your boss? Let me guess, the blonde?
  • Kano: Is that mask cutting off your air supply, you dumb prick? I don't take orders from anyone, Kabal!
  • Kabal: Then, you're on the wrong side. Fight with us and you could have more money than you know what to do with. Hell, you could turn this old temple into your own casino if you wanted to. Just name your price, then double it and double it again. What are you waiting for, asshole?
  • Kano: So, what would I need to do?
  • Kano: There I was trying to shove this guy's nuts down his throat. And all I kept thinking about for me mum for Christmas?
  • Cargo Plane Pilot: Your mom's been dead for 30 fucking years, mate.
  • Kano: Kid can dream. Can't he?
  • Sonya Blade: Please tell me I get the bitch with the teeth.
  • Kano: A laser beam! It's better than fireballs, you pussy!
  • [last lines]
  • Referee: My man, I was just about to call you. I need you tomorrow night.
  • Cole Young: Sorry. My days fighting for 200 bucks are done.
  • Referee: Oh, you're finally quitting, huh?
  • Cole Young: Yeah, uh, something like that.
  • Referee: Where're you gonna go?
  • Cole Young: Hollywood.
  • Referee: Hollywood? What the hell's in Hollywood?
  • Cole Young: Not what... who. It's been fun.
  • [Cole leaves]
  • Referee: [scoffs] Hollywood.
  • [scoffs, then passes besides a movie poster that reads "JOHNNY CAGE IN CITIZEN CAGE: FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS - COMING SOON"]
  • [Sonya throws a knife at Reptile, but hits Kano]
  • Kano: The fuck was that? That was my knife, too! Fucking poetry.
  • Kano: Uh, you got a pen? You want to write this down? Get fucked. 'Cause I'm not gonna help you. You kidnapped me. You tied me up. You threw a knife through my fucking leg, on purpose. And then that lizard thing took off half my face. Lucky for me, you can hardly notice it.
  • Shang Tsung: My loyal warriors! Kabal... General Reiko... I have seen the so-called champions of Earthrealm and they're no match for all of you. We are on the precipice of victory and taking Earthrealm forever, but we must strike now. Raiden has prevented entry into his temple. I must find a way to bring his shield down in order to obliterate our opposition.
  • Kabal: I think I can help. Did you see a guy down there? Complete fuckin' asshole; answers to Kano.
  • Shang Tsung: Kano?
  • Kabal: Yeah, he's the reason I live in an iron lung. He's a low-life piece of shit scumbag... you're gonna love him.
  • [Reiko yells at Jax]
  • Jax: Damn, your breath stinks!
  • Mileena: [after tasting Sonya's blood] This is not the blood of a Chosen One. Your death has no worth.
  • Kabal: Want me to slow down a little?
  • Kano: [to Sonya] I think I know what's going on here. You're jealous, girlie, of my little marking.
  • [Sonya ignores him; Kano shoves her]
  • Kano: Hey, I'm talking to you. If you want it so much, all you got to do is kill me. Take it. Now, come on. What do you say? You want to dance?
  • Shang Tsung: Your soul is mine!
  • Raiden: [creates a portal for Cole] Go! Be with your family!
  • Liu Kang: Focus on what you can't deny. Find the truth in you. The pain. It's the ultimate catalyst.
  • Liu Kang: [after burning Kabal] Fatality. For Kung Lao.
  • Cole Young: [as Kano is drawing a picture of himself killing Reptile] What are you doing?
  • Kano: Just working on a Kano graphic novel. I fancy myself a bit of an artist.
  • Cole Young: He's a psychopath.
  • Kano: Well, all the best artists are a little twisted, mate.
  • Sonya Blade: How do you plan on getting us there?
  • Kano: I've got a friend with a plane.
  • Cole Young: You've got friends?
  • Kano: Hey, fuck you, pretty boy. I'm a popular guy. Everyone loves me.
  • Shang Tsung: No matter how many of my people you put in the ground, there will always be another to take their place. Today you have killed my warriors and you think you have won. But death is only another portal.
  • Sonya Blade: [to Kano] You were never chosen. Fate has better standards than you.
  • Kung Lao: [refusing to pass an egg roll to Kano] Maybe you should lay off the egg rolls, seeing how you wouldn't be ready to fight if you had a hundred days to train.
  • Cole Young: [after Sonya convinces Kano to take her and Cole to Raiden's temple] You're gonna give that guy three million dollars?
  • Sonya Blade: Fuck no. I live in this shit hole. You think I got three million dollars?
  • Bi-Han: [in Chinese] The great warrior. Hanzo Hasashi. This day has been a long time coming, the end of your bloodline. Your mighty clan, the Shirai Ryu, have been exterminated by me.
  • Hanzo Hasashi: [in Japanese] I may not understand your words, but I promise you this... I will kill you.
