Short description
For nine generations an evil sorcerer has been victorious in hand-to-hand battle against his mortal enemies. If he wins a tenth Mortal Kombat tournament, desolation and evil will reign over the multiverse forever. To save Earth, three warriors must overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, their own inner demons, and superhuman foes in this action/adventure movie based on one of the most popular video games of all time.
What's left behind the scenes
- Ed Boon, one of the creators of the video game "Mortal Kombat," voiced Scorpion.
- The film is based on the "Mortal Kombat" series of video games (1992 – present, Midway).
- Brandon Lee was supposed to play Johnny Cage, but he died shortly before filming began.
- Jean-Claude Van Damme could have played Johnny Cage, but he turned down the role, preferring to participate in "Street Fighter" (1994).
- Brigitte Wilson (Sonya Blade) refused a stunt double and performed all of her own stunts in the film.
- The film's plot strongly resembles "Enter the Dragon" (1973).
- Despite Linden Ashby training specifically in karate and taekwondo for this film, stuntman J.J. Perry played Johnny Cage in most of the scenes.
- The ninjas in the film were originally intended to be warriors – Tarkatans (similar to Baraka from the game Mortal Kombat II), but this idea was rejected.
- The role of Liu Kang could have gone to Jason Scott Lee, Russell Wong, and Philip Rhee.
- The script included a scene where Shang Tsung allowed fighters to bury Art Lean in the Garden of Statues, next to the statue of Kung Lao. The script also featured a fight between Sonya and Jade. These scenes were never filmed.
- Actors Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Shang Tsung) and Talisa Soto (Kitana) previously worked together in the sixteenth installment of the James Bond series, "Licence to Kill" (1989).
- Actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa reprised his role as Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat 11, a 2019 video game.
- Initially, Cameron Diaz was supposed to play Sonya Blade, but was unable to do so because she broke her wrist before filming began.
- Chris Casamassa was initially considered as one of many ninjas for the background, however he impressed the producers so much at the audition that they offered him the role of Scorpion.
