Mortal Kombat II (movie)

The brutal world of Mortal Kombat returns to the big screen with Mortal Kombat II, the ongoing saga of the rebooted live-action movie series. This installment promises to be deadlier than ever, featuring even more fatalities, just like the games themselves.

In Mortal Kombat II, the Elder God of Thunder Rayden and his Earthrealm warriors gained a new addition: a has-been action star named Johnny Cage. Teaming up with Kitana, a princess from the world of Edenia, they must do all means necessary to prevent Shao Kahn's diabolical attempt to invade the Earthrealm, even if it means fighting to the death.

Some of the iconic MK characters never looked so intense in this latest movie, as well as their fighting powers. From Kitana's fan blades, Jade's bo staff, Baraka's needle arm, Kano's laser eye, Sindel's deafening screams, to Johnny Cage's...ahem...incredibly handsomeness, it's the classic Mortal Kombat experience redefined on the big screen.

While not the guaranteed "flawless victory" fans expected, this latest MK movie is filled with iconic fatalities from start to finish. One fatality after another showcases what Mortal Kombat fans love.

What are you waiting for? GET OVER HERE and FINISH HIM! FIGHT!
