It's beautiful, Father.

This was a gift from Lord Raiden, the god of thunder.

If anything were to happen...

Don't worry about that. But what if he's this strong?

to unite the various realms under one rule.

His.

But the Elder Gods had put certain requirements in place.

Our fate would not be settled by the size of our army.

It would be decided by combat.

The rules were simple.

If one realm could win ten tournaments in a row,

It would be given to many and over the other.

Outworld would be allowed to pillage Edenia's resources and enslave our

This was the final tournament.

Our last chance.

All of our greatest warriors had already fallen.

Only one fighter remained.

My father.

King

They will never bow to you!

Now belong to me.

I have so many difficult tasks, but I like easy things.

One move.

One pull.

One touch.

One left.

One click.

One X -back.

I'm going to the top and everything's going to be okay.

Okay.

Ten years ago today, the Emperor named me as your bodyguard.

I know what shall come from you. And if you have been vicious or cruel to me, no

one will blame you for this.

You treated me like family.

And you're my sister.

In every way that matters.

that a proper princess could sit around on pillows, banging herself.

Then I thought, you are not exactly...

I've been busy training for the tournament.

I hope you bring the team to your surroundings. My spies have located the

It was last seen in Raiden the Temple, where it was stolen by the mercenary

Kano.

Please take the amulet, Lord.

And if that the amulet can heal any wound, transform a man into a god?

As far as the amulet would require an impossible amount of power, we would

to capture a star from the heavens.

A star?

The sun is gone. The fast run will begin.

What?

Hey guys, I'm off the clock.

Mr. Page, you have been chosen for a little combat.

A little combat, huh?

What's that, some kind of fan film?

It's a fighting tournament.

Yeah, not really my thing anymore.

Well, that's the pain gauge.

It's more like a fate of the entire human race, Jake.

Tell me you're not a crazy fan.

Definitely not, Sam.

All right, all right. You don't have to say definitely.

You have been chosen as one of the champions of Astral.

The gods have selected you, Mr. Cage.

All right. I think it's time for you guys to fuck off. But, hey, love the

cosplay. What's that, Big Trouble in Little China?

Fantastic film. Listen, I know what it sounds like, but it sounds good.

Very good.

Fantastic.

I will see you there.

Thanks for coming. Drive safe and say hi to Dumbledore.

You're gonna have to show him.

How are you doing, man?

Come with us, Mr.

G. Let's discover the man's world.

I'm her wife.

That dude is a robot arm.

We served in the army together.

That's Jack Sprague's special forces.

That's Cole Young.

He's dude absorbs attacks and makes them stronger.

He's a descendant of Scorpion, one of Earthrealm's greatest warriors.

That's Luke Kane.

He's the best fighter we got.

That's cheating, but okay.

It kind of feels like bullshit that y 'all have these crazy powers and I'm

you know, incredibly handsome.

It could take months of training to unlock your powers.

We don't have that kind of time. Yeah, well, whose fault is that?

If you knew this was coming, why'd you wait for the last second to find me? We

used to have another champion.

I'm loud.

Oh, great. So I'm just a fucking sub? He was murdered by Sam's own.

Wait.

Murdered?

Come on. You can't be serious, all right?

I mean, that's, like, gotta be against the rules.

You can't just go around killing people.

It's called Mortal Kombat for a reason.

Yo, Gandalf!

Send me back. I want to go back. Johnny, wait.

No, no. You said turn, which implies rules and a referee and, I don't know,

maybe a medic, not some fucking squid gang murder party.

If you want to quit, let him go. We don't need him.

Look.

You want to step in the octagon with a bunch of happy assholes that don't know

how to lose, go right ahead.

But I don't have transformer arms or huge lightning bolts or fireballs or

whatever the fuck it is Flaming Fingers does. So forgive me if I don't sign up

to get mulched.

The stupid fucking cosmic battery decided that we're the ones that get to

the world.

It's terrifying.

You are not the last thing I can see from here.

I can't divide my wife and my little girl.

Two most important things in my life.

I'm okay with that.

Because I know if I die out there, I'm dying for them.

Lose one more time, you're out of time.

And the whole family plays it together.

You've done it.

Even if you walk away, the Elder Gods can still summon you to fight. Not if

can't find me. So what are you going to do, huh?

Are you just going to go hide?

No. First I'm going to drink every beer on the planet, then I'm going to hide.

Because it's just got nothing to do with me.

I'm not some great warrior.

I'm not some champion, okay?

I'm an actor.

And before that, you were the guy with five black belts and a world title.

Yeah.

That's not one of those little fights.

a long time ago.

That's all you want?

Or maybe he's still in there.

I'm like 90 % sure I had an aneurysm and this is some kind of fucked up

comradery.

But I'm not sure this is real.

Good luck with the whole saving world thing.

What is that?

A kingdom.

You're Johnny Cage.

That's what the text says.

Holy shit. I frickin' love Citizen Cage.

Dude,

you know what they should do?

They should do another Citizen Cage.

Like a reboot.

Man, give me a break.

Nobody wants that.

What? You think the world is crying out for a Johnny Cage comeback?

Huh?

No. They want gritty. They want grounded. They want to be on the read

remembering a thousand fucking dudes with a pencil. That's what people want

Some dinosaur doing a bunch of karate moves.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank

you.

has begun.

Today you fight for our realm, for the lives of everyone you have ever known.

If you fail, the art fails with you.

Two of our champions will be chosen to compete today.

The winners will advance to the next stage of the tournament.

The losers will be eliminated.

To the death.

That is up to the winner.

Then don't move.

Well, looks like it's my lucky day.

Wait.

Yeah.

I thought you said two of us were fighting.

a little down done.

You're normally a little more animated.

Where is the amulet you took from Raiden's temple?

We could have left him dead.

First off, fuck off. And you, where are you going with that?

I won't hold it to my father.

Unfortunately, a princess would appear, so I needed it elsewhere.

Hi, you creepy fucking man. I saw that there as well.

Good luck.

Each flame represents a spider.

The tournament ends when one side has no captain left.

Hey, how's it going, babe?

Listen, I'm warning you.

I got a fatter to work for than fighting a feature film that don't mess with me.

Whoa! Whoa, baby, all right?

Let's just take a time out here and talk about it, okay? I really don't feel

comfortable having a girl.

Don't worry, I'm home.

Fucking me!

I was free from my mortal bond.

Shao Kahn showed me the pledges of a life eternal.

Perhaps I'll do the same for you.

What a pretty trick.

Would you like to see mine?

No, I can't.

It appears our sides are now even.

What'd I miss?

Fuck yeah.

Look who's back.

Well? How bad was it?

Zombie queen.

And the bike.

Yeah. Pretty goddamn bad.

from the tournament.

You lost.

You are lucky. He was trying to evade you there.

Oi, anyone?

I've been looking all over this shit all for you.

You promised me a new eye, and it better be one that shoots, Wade.

I have other priorities.

Like fuck of what? It's putting on more eyeliner.

Trust me, you're good.

Alright? Come on, mate. I am bumping into shit left, right and centre.

I mean, my peripheral vision is fucked. Proper fucked, mate.

So come on, chop chop. Let's get into it.

You don't have to do it right now. I mean, you need to, you know, take a

measurement. Check the colour or... Rub your little hand.

Alright, let's have a look.

Don't fucking roll in the fucking ground, you grub.

Oi! The ambulance!

I want that back, and don't fucking roll it. You've got your eye, now leave me

alone. The amulet does not belong to you.

Its powers are well beyond your meagre understanding.

Idiot. All right.

Let's take this thing for a test drive.

One,

two, three. Oh, fuck!

It's done.

Wow.

Oh, you can't do that.

I had a chance to actually do something worth a damn and I screwed it all up.

Thank you.

Yeah, we're good.

You don't need a lecture.

You need perspective.

Perspective? There are 8 billion people on this planet, and yet the gods chose

you. Perhaps they saw your true potential as a champion of our throne.

Maybe they made a mistake.

Maybe. If I see the other god, I'm sure to tell them.

Well, I'm glad you find us all so amusing.

Hey, great pet park, by the way.

Nailed it.

eyes and ears. They've had the eyes for many years now.

We know the risk of coming here.

Thank you, son.

Wait. Are you telling me I got my ass kicked by one of the good guys?

I had to make it look real.

Keep it watching.

They found the amulet of Shinnok.

It was in the possession of a dead cell sword named Kato.

If the Emperor finds a way to charge the amulet, he would be unstoppable.

It would be like fighting a god.

Yeah, well, let's not do that.

My friend is in the tournament.

Jade was raised under Shao Kahn's army.

Do what you must, but do not make her suffer.

You went to another realm?

You followed me?

I'm trying to keep you alive.

By spying on your friend. By keeping your friend from making a mistake.

You are conspiring with Lord Raiden, the enemy.

I've sworn on Katana to serve as Shao Kahn's sword.

The second round of the tournament will continue for three matches.

Jax, Colt, Liu Kang.

I have been given new life.

Look at that.

Still part of this tournament.

But that's not why I need him.

doesn't get any more to you.

I'm getting your J.

Let's get this over with.

I am frozen, Gary. Let's go.

What the

fuck

do you have under there?

But it is worth.

I think I'm doing more.

Do you really need this?

Why?

Your friend's very one of our guys.

Open my eyes to the truth.

The gods have abandoned their creation.

Only shall come to save us now.

One of the gods raised you.

Loved you.

And you let him through.

You were my brother.

And when you're dead, your realm will fall.

We will be brothers again.

today.

Do you want labels?

portal is already moving.

He will not last when he is gone.

Why would they take his power?

Shao Kahn has bonded with the amulet.

Stolen the power to the gods.

The only way to reverse the process is to destroy the amulet. Well, we better

it before the next round starts.

So, let's use the portal.

Jump in, we grab the amulet of magic bullshit, destroy it, and then get the

out of there before even those were there.

The house has defensive wards in place.

Open a portal and they'll sense you at once.

So why does that leave us?

There is a tunnel beneath the castle.

It is the only entrance that is not under constant watch.

Because?

Because it is the service entrance that it will call.

It's a...

What are you going to do? I will not do this. Are you

the

leader of the clan?

I am Drakkon.

I am your king.

I know how your people have suffered at the hands of Shao Kahn.

He used you like slaves.

He treats you like wild dogs.

We are wild dogs.

We have come.

To end Shao Kahn's reign.

Will you help him?

Shao Kahn has an army.

Does he have an army?

No. Then you're wasting my time.

Then I challenge you, Baraka, a bandit.

A single combat. I decline your challenge.

You know, everyone keeps talking. Targeted this, targeted that, big feet,

arms, too scary.

No one mentioned the fact that you're all a bunch of giant fucking buttons.

All right, if you don't insult the monster.

I mean, do you have any idea who you're talking to?

I'm Johnny fucking Cage.

This guy is Luke Kane, Earth's greatest champion.

I mean, look, man, I get it. I'd be scared of him, too.

But someday, when Shao Kahn's dead, and our world's been defeated, you're gonna

have to tell all your little spirit Halloween monster grandbabies that you

the chance to fight the Great Liu Kang.

But you were too much of a coward.

Thanks, man.

Hollywood Negotiating 101.

I'm not doing this.

Me?

Well, what did I do?

I find you annoying.

I wish to kill you.

Ain't you?

That could end me in insatisfaction.

Is this guy serious?

Uh -huh.

Guys, I'm not a fucking actor, okay?

Johnny Cage is this new character I play, right?

I have stuntmen to do this shit for me.

You're gonna have to do it.

Oh, no, no.

Johnny could definitely die.

Oh, agreed. He won't die.

Yeah, agreed.

A hard degree.

One minute, Bob.

Tell me of it. Hurry me.

I can't do this. No fit.

Enough!

We fight!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This isn't grounded, okay? Not the face.

Stay down.

Damn. Why do you know that?

The quickness, my brothers and sisters.

The cunning, the speed, the craftiness of the one -day Paul Dunning. Fuck

it, Daddy.

And I will. I'll get right on that.

You have done well, my people.

And someday I shall return as promised.

And we will complete your training.

May the screams of your enemies echo in your dreams.

And may this fleet march not upon your town.

Yes.

It's the same with you and your enemies and your tongue and the sweet guy.

Be on your tongue, too.

As well.

Rock on.

We're not going to make it in time.

We have to try.

so

I went to Earthrealm.

Did you know?

Went looking for Lord Raiden.

But he was gone.

So were his champions. I do not know what happened to them.

up in a town square.

Let the princess's treason serve as a warning to all.

We'll cover more ground if we split up.

what we have here.

Raiden sends one of his satellites to follow us.

Again from a dying god.

The last of the great.

And I shall watch you burn.

I can't live.

Fucking animal!

I

can

help.

Oh, I know you. I've seen some of your movies.

They're all shit.

Look at that. Old Rock 'em Sock 'em's dead.

Alright boys, over here. You in the middle. A little that way.

And you there.

Just step forward.

There.

Now, that's your me talk time.

Herman, for what?

What do you fucking reckon?

Ol' Kano's about to ride in on a big white horse and save all your dumb

asses.

Here he is.

Fuckin' hell, you've seen better days.

What do you want of the kingdom?

Well, right now I'm thinking I want you lot to win this thing.

Bullshit. Mate, have you seen our world?

Or Edenia?

I mean, it's nothing but rocks and sand and fuckin' sad people. I don't want

that. I like air conditioning.

And beer.

Bottomless breadsticks.

And tan lines.

And one -night stands.

And threesomes. And foursomes.

Jack and Coke.

Just Jack, just Coke.

Then why should we trust you?

Because I know we're beyond taking ambulance.

Netherrealm.

What's Netherrealm?

The realm of the dead.

A place of fire and punishment.

I can't wait to get this.

And by the looks of things, you've got enough juice left in the tank to get us

down there, sir. Here's what I'm thinking. We smash the amulet and get

powers back.

Shao Kahn's mortal again.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We kill that fucker. Save the world.

Pretty boy here gives me a wristy.

Everybody wins.

Ha, ha! You think that did it once?

Let the fucker go!

I may not have enough power to bring you back, but I'm your little doctor.

No one will ever know what you have done.

Good riddance.

You have changed, Mr.

Keith.

Go beside them.

You will not survive

in this realm.

Where is this place?

The reality is a den in the netherworld.

It is the place where nightmares walk around.

But dreams can be harnessed too.

If one's will is strong enough.

We were sent by Lord Raid.

We need a guide.

Then you have come.

He killed your whole family or something.

I mean, they tried to.

Until the sight of the saving, and hell, death, and the cross.

Keeping the seat warm?

Raiden has sent a lot of warriors to Netherrealm. They're going after the

Amulet.

That means there's no one left to guard Lord Raiden.

If we lose that amulet, we lose everything.

Shao Kahn will be stripped of power, and our empire would fall.

Send me down there.

I will protect the amulet. Will you take care of Reed?

I would thank you, Lord, if these would be with your princess.

He's here.

This is the way we fight for men.

I'm not here for their war.

I'm here for your life.

You might be surprised.

I'm the same man you killed.

I belong to the shadows.

Looks like we're the main set.

around the wrong thing.

There's no towels, Mike! What towels?

Are you kidding me? You don't have any towels?

They're kind of big ass towels.

Oh, wait, what?

What do you mean you don't know? I found it for you. Do I have to do everything?

But this is your plan.

Don't talk to me like that. Why don't you sit in the instructions on the back?

Yeah, that's a good idea, but... Oh, here we go. Look, one ring to rule them

all, one ring to... Go fuck yourself.

Whatever you're going to do to me, you can pick the man I can't.

Run!

Thank you.

told me I am not the chosen one.

Your death will always show another.

No I

renounce

alcohol renounce your legacy of pain and cruelty.

I renounce you.

Thank you.

Be strong, Madonna.

know what makes a hero?

It's not destiny.

It's not something you're born with.

It's discovering that sometimes even one small light is enough to hold back the

darkness.

Facing unimaginable loss.

Lifting up the ones you love and know.

They'll be there to catch you when you fall.

Then realize you've had it in you this

entire time.

I say all of it to Raina.

And he looks at me.

You... You have taught us so much, Mr. Cage.

Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

And you know what I tell him?

What did you say?

I said, that ain't no wisdom, bub.

That's perspective.

Strange. That is not how I remember it.

Yo.

They're telling these guys how we saved all the realms together.

Oh.

All right, look.

I may have taken one or two creative liberties.

Behold, the human female you rescued from the people's spice.

Seriously?

Two or three creative liberties.

You know, I've got to give it to you. I thought you'd go running back to

Hollywood for a chance you got.

I made a promise to these guys.

Hollywood can wait.

Tell me there's not another tournament.

No. Outworld has been defeated.

Earthrealm has been seized.

So, uh, what the fuck are you doing here? We have lost far too many of our

champions. It's time to bring them home.

Someone order a necromancer?

Might look like Voldemort's nutsack, but trust me, I'm gonna name this fucker.

How can I blame thee?

Long time no see.

You ready for your next lesson?

For the glory of Johnny fucking Kane.

Let's go get our friends.

Then we can go came out.
