Kitana, I have something for you.

It will protect you.

It's beautiful, Father.

This was a gift from Lord Raiden, the God of Thunder.

If anything were to happen to me, he's always listening.

Chalcad is arriving, Your Majesty.

What happens if you lose?

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

Strength is not a closed fist.

Strength is here.

And here.

No, Donna.

Shao Kahn, Emperor of Outworld, sought to unite the various realms under one

rule. His.

But the Elder Gods had put certain precautions in place.

Our faith would not be settled by the size of our armies.

It would be decided by Comet.

The rules were simple.

If one realm could win ten tournaments in a row, it would be given dominion

the other.

Outworld would be allowed to pillage Edenia's resources.

Enslave our people.

This was the final tournament.

Our last chance.

All of our greatest warriors had already fallen.

Only one fighter remained.

My father, King Jared of Edinia.

But he faced our world's greatest warrior.

Shao Kahn himself.

They will never bow to you!

We shall see.

Thank you.

right now.

Now be at peace.

and the Father should be with you.

You cannot beat me.

You're the one who taught me everything is a weapon.

What do you have there?

Jade?

It was 20 years ago today that you were burning me as your bodyguard.

I know what Shao Kahn took from you. And if you had been vicious or cruel to me,

no one would have blamed you. But you suited me like family.

And you're my sister.

In every way that loves you.

told that a proper princess is supposed to sit around on pillows fanning

herself.

Then I thought, you are not exactly the pillow type.

I've been busy training for the tournament.

Good. Because I have to be in the elder vault from the moment we leave.

Let Raiden scrounge with the champions.

They will simply be the first to die.

And Earthrealm will be mine.

Why is he here?

I have to talk to him soon.

I hope you bring the community force around.

My spies have located the relic.

It was last seen in Raiden's temple, where it was stolen by the mercenary

We seek the amulet, Shannara.

It is said the amulet can heal any wound.

Transform a man into a god.

To charge the amulet would require an impossible amount of power.

We would need to capture a star from the heavens.

A star?

The world has been through the encounter, and yet the gods have spoken.

When the family is gone, the first round will begin.

For the combat is upon us.

And yet, we have to shot one champion.

I can hurry!

It's showtime.

Poor guy.

Johnny Cage.

Hey, guys. I'm off the clock.

Mr. Cage, you have been chosen for Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat, huh?

What's that, some kind of fan film?

It's a fighting person.

Yeah, not really my thing anymore.

Well, that's the pain.

More like a fate of the entire human race, Jake.

Tell me you're not some crazy fan.

Definitely not fan.

Right, all right, you don't have to say definitely.

You have been chosen as one of the champions of our realm.

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 he's telling the truth.

Very soon, the champions will be summoned to fight, and you will be among

The fate of your world rests on the outcome of the game.

Fantastic.

I will see you there.

Thanks for coming. Drive safe and say hi to Delta Tor for me.

You're going to have to show us.

How are you? Dead.

How are you doing, man? Come with us, Mr. King.

Let's discover the man you were meant to be.

Now are you coming or what?

We served in the army together. That's Jack Frigg, Special Fortress.

That's Ko -Yan.

He's due to absorb this hat to make him stronger.

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

That's okay.

He's the best fighter we got.

Goodbye.

I feel like that's cheating, but okay.

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

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?

I mean, if you knew this was coming, why'd you wait for the last second to

me? We used to have another champion, Kung Lao.

Oh, great. So I'm just a fucking sub. He was murdered by Shang Tsung.

Wait.

Murdered?

Come on. You can't be serious, 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, get out.

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,

a medic, not some fucking quit game 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

know how to lose, go right ahead.

But I don't have transformer arms or... or two lightning bolts, fireballs, or

two whatever the fuck it is Flamesinger does.

So, forgive me if I don't sign up to get more.

You were not wrong, Mr. Case.

Twenty years later, Shao Kahn takes the other half realm to his dominion.

This is a war to the fate of your world.

Okay, I get it. We all do.

Some stupid fucking cosmic lottery decided that we're the ones that get to

the world.

It's terrifying.

You want to know the last thing I gave you for coming here?

I said goodbye to my wife and my little girl.

The two most important things in my life.

And I'm okay with that.

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

If we lose one more time, the Earth is gone.

And only chance to face it together.

You, Johnny Cage, are part of this now.

Fuck that.

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

if they 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 this shit's 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, I saw some of those old fights.

And that was a long time ago.

That guy you want is dead and buried.

Or maybe he's still in there trying to get out.

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

dream.

But I'm not that the shit's real.

Let alone with the whole saving the world thing.

What is the past to me?

I'm told you sent your followers to Earth, right?

Or were they doing it?

Simply retrieving some lost property, I guess.

By order of your father.

What is that?

I believe it's called... A Kano.

Swing dog, please.

You're Johnny Cage.

That's what the tab says.

Holy shit. I freaking love Citizen Cage.

Thanks,

man. I appreciate it.

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 Keanu Reeves

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

Not some dinosaur doing a bunch of karate poses.

That was pretty cool.

The tournament 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.

Maybe don't move.

Well, looks like it's my lucky day.

Wait.

Yeah.

I thought you said two of us were fighting.

a little more animated.

Uno más.

I don't know.

I'm probably in my pocket where I keep all this shit I steal.

We could have left him dead.

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

I will take it to my father.

Unfortunately, printer, it appears you are needed elsewhere.

Why, you creepy fucking man?

I stole that fair and square.

Each slave represents a fighter.

The tournament ends when one side has no champions left.

Hey, how's it going, babe?

Listen, I'm warning you.

I got a Saturn award for best fight in a feature film. 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 hitting a girl.

Don't worry.

You won't.

That's fucking mean!

No offense babe, but you look really fucking dead

Shao Kahn showed me the pleasures of a life eternal.

Perhaps I'll do the same for you.

What a pretty trick.

Would you like to see mine?

No, actually I'm good.

It appears our sides are now even.

What are we... Fuck yeah, look who's back.

Well, how bad was it?

Zombie queen and his bikes.

So pretty goddamn bad.

Eliminated from the tournament.

You lost.

You are lucky she was charitable and let you live.

Oi, Pennywise.

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

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

I have other priorities.

Like fucking what? If it's putting on more eyeliner, trust me, you're good.

All right?

Come on mate, I am bumping into shit right at the 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, you know, scrub your little hands.

Alright, let's have a look.

Don't fucking roll into the fucking ground you grub.

Oi! The ambulance!

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

alone. The amulet does not belong to you.

Its powers are well beyond your meager understanding, idiot.

Alright.

Shit, is that HD? That's pretty good. How many hours have you made?

Can you do any other one?

Is he in trouble with mystication?

Yeah.

Well, because of me, your thoughts just got 20 % worse.

I had a chance to actually do something worth a damn in high school.

They trouble just about something up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dirty, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Thought you were gonna give me some kind of lecture.

But, uh, yeah.

Shores are good.

You don't need a lecture.

You need perspective.

Perspective, huh?

There are eight billion people on this planet, and yet the gods chose you.

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

Maybe they made a mistake.

Maybe. If I did hear their gun, I'm sure to tell them.

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

Hey, great pep talk, by the way. Just nailed it.

Mrs. Kitana has been my eyes and ears, inside the palace for many years now.

We know the respect of coming here.

Thank you, Kitana.

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

I had to make it look real.

He was watching.

They found the amulet of Shinnok.

It was in the possession of a dead sellsword named Kano.

Son of a bitch.

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?

I'm trying to keep you alive.

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

You are conspiring with Lord Raiden, the enemy.

I swore on it, Katana.

To serve at Shao Kahn.

Lord.

Let the gun round over the tournament. We'll contest over three matches.

Jack, call.

Lucan. Well.

I have been given new life.

Look at that.

Still part of the tournament.

But that's not why he...

Thank you. You're welcome.

I'm getting your J.

Let's get this over with.

I have told you, Gary, the blood is cold.

Your voice is big.

You know you find nothing awesome in here.

What the fuck

do you have under there?

For what is it worth?

I'm taking him to him.

Are you really going to hate this show?

My family.

All my friends.

Give me a moment.

Why? Your friend stayed at one of our guys.

Open my eyes to the truth.

Look around.

The gods have abandoned their creation.

Only Shao Kahn can save us now.

One of them gods raised you.

Loved you.

And you should let him.

You were my brother.

And when you're dead and your realm falls, we will be brothers again.

This is real.

Do them labels, do them.

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 send you at once.

So where 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 for the proclamers.

It's a carton.

Are you the leader of this plan?

I am Baraka.

I am Uday.

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

He uses 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 us?

Shao Kahn has an army.

Did he have an army?

No. Then you're wasting my time.

Then I challenge

you, Baraka of Klandakata, to single combat. I decline your challenge.

You know, everyone keeps talking, talking this, talking that, big teeth,

arms, loose carry.

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

All right, maybe 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 Liu Kang, 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.

will tell him.

Thank you.

I find you annoying.

I wish to kill you and eat you.

That's when Emily lends satisfaction.

Is this guy serious?

Uh -huh.

Guys, I'm here to fucking answer, okay?

Johnny Cage is just a character I play, right?

I have something to do with this shit for me.

You're gonna have to do it. Oh, no, no, no.

Oh, agreed. You're going to die.

Yeah, agreed.

Hard agreed.

One minute, Bob.

Guys, you saw me in the tournament.

I can't do this. No shit.

Enough!

We fight!

Whoa, come on!

Let's get some ground, okay?

Now stay down!

You're an actor, so act.

That was the greatest fighting I've ever seen!

The green wind.

Now I feel well.

Get right on that.

Need a little favor.

I have brought you as far as I dare.

Tarkatans are not allowed in Bakar's home.

Right.

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 these sweet bats melt upon your tongue.

Ah, yes.

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

Be on your tongue, too, as well.

And rock on.

We're not going to make it in time.

As you can see, I was watching the Resurrection.

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.

I know she's like a sister to you.

That was no small thing you just did.

I still remember the little girl we both were fighting for.

tomorrow. But I belong.

what we have here.

Radiant sends one of his sad little followers.

A gift from a dying god.

Don't look afraid.

And I shall watch you burn.

I'll take them and I'll keep it safe.

You fucking animal!

I

can

help. Oh, I know you. Seen some of your movies.

They're all shit.

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

You in the middle. A little that way.

And you there.

Step forward.

There.

Now, that's your meat talk time.

Time for what?

What do you fucking reckon?

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

asses.

Hell, you've seen better days.

What do you want, Kato?

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 fucking sand people. What about

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.

And why should we trust you?

Because I know where Bihan's taking the amulet.

Netherrealm.

What's Netherrealm?

The realm of the dead.

A blaze of fire and punishment.

How fun. 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. So here's what I'm thinking. We smash the amulet.

Get your powers back.

Shao Kahn's mortal again.

Yeah, yeah, we kill that fucker. Sides of the world. Pretty boy here gives me a

wristy. Everybody wins.

You think that did it, what?

Let the fucker go.

I may not have enough power to bring you back.

But you will be stuck there.

No one will ever know what you have done.

You have changed, Mr.

Keith.

It's called perspective.

What about that fucking plot? Look at where I'm behind you, you junk.

You will not survive within the realm without a guide.

and sign me the fuck up.

Where is this place?

Reality is a den in the netherworld.

It is a place where nightmares walk around.

But dreams can be honest too.

If one's will is strong enough.

gotta try this page, man.

You know, I try to scare you with all the talk of devils and pitchforks and

that bullshit, but I knew hell would be a pretty fucking sweet place.

Y 'all, suit yourself.

We were sent by Lord Raiden.

We need a guide.

Beehon's alive.

Where's a Beehon?

I think it's Beehon.

It's Sub -Zero, fucker. You know, he killed your whole family.

I mean, they tried to...

Keeping the seat warm?

Raiden has sent his last warriors to Netherrealm.

They're going out to the amulet.

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

If we lose that amulet, we lose everything.

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

Send me down there.

I will protect the amulet. Will you take care of Raiden? I would think your

loyalties would be with your princess.

Katana made her choice.

He's here.

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 in the shadows.

Looks like we're the main event.

ground belongs to me.

will be mine.

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

I've been hurt a big ass.

Oh, we're fucked.

I got

it!

How do we destroy it?

We'll fuck it on up.

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 take the instructions on the back?

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Oh, here we go. One ring to rule them all. One ring to go fuck yourself.

What you're going to do to me? You expect me to be a cunt?

I am the one.

Thank you.

You told me I am not the chosen one.

Your death will harm us to another.

My journey is to bring back Kumbha.

This is not the end.

It is only the beginning.

No. One fighter still remains.

I renounce Alcmaald. I renounce your legacy of pain and cruelty!

I renounce you!

Fire sequence.

What have I done?

For the first time in my life,

I am not your fucking king.

to what you are.

You want to know what makes a hero?

It's not destiny.

It's not something you're born with.

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

the darkness.

Facing unimaginable loss and finding peace on the other side.

Lifting up the ones you love knowing.

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

And searching for greatness.

Then realizing you had it in you this entire time.

I say all of this to Raiden.

And he looks at me.

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.

Yeah.

I was just telling these guys how we saved all the realms.

Together.

I may have taken one or two creative liberties.

Behold, the human female you rescued from the pit of fire.

Seriously? Two or three creative liberties.

Yeah, I'm not giving it to you.

Thought you'd go running back to Hollywood first chance you got.

I made a promise to these guys.

Hollywood can wait.

Oh, shit.

Tell me there's not another tournament.

No. Outworld has been defended.

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 Cage!

Let's go get our friend.

Then we kill Kano.

Okay. Good.
