Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA 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.
- GoofsAnnihilation continues where the first movie ended, but Sonya, Liu Kang, and Rayden are wearing completely different clothes.
- Crazy creditsOut of respect for the people of Thailand, this motion picture contains no depictions of harm to any sacred Thai structures or simulations thereof.
- Alternate versionsAlong 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.

Featured review
Robin Shou and Talisa Soto return but everybody else is gone. This follows directly from the original movie. Outworld emperor Shao Kahn opens a portal to Earthrealm. He is joined by Kitana's resurrected mother, Queen Sindel. Johnny Cage is immediately killed off and the emperor promises to conquer Earth in six days.
The fun of the original is gone. It's an obvious step down when the movie opens with so many of the original actors missing. Even the special effects take a giant step down. This is a movie made by people with no foresight for franchise building. This is about making a few quick bucks and getting out. They use scraps and leftovers from the first movie. It's bad from start to finish although it does have a fight between Scorpion and Sub-Zero. It's still not good.
