Original subtitles

Thank you.

Katara, I have something for you to protect you.

It's beautiful, Father.

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

If anything, your God is driving us.

What happens if you lose?

Don't worry about that.

But what if he's too strong?

Strike this with a closed fist.

Strike this here and here.

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

his.

But the Elder Gods have put certain precautions.

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

They would be decided.

The rules were simple.

If one realm could win ten tournaments in Rome, it would be given dominion over the

other.

Outworld would be allowed to pillage Idymia's resources.

And enslave our people.

This was the final, and adorable. Our last chance. All of our greatest warriors

have already fallen. One fighter remained. My father. King Garrod of Edenia. But he

faced Outworld's greatest warrior,

Shao Kahn. I bow to you. I shall see.

Still not close your eyes.

Close your eyes right now.

Ah!

Yeah.

Look at that.

What?

A genius now belongs to me.

What the old guy?

Mm-hmm.

You, you cannot be serious.

You're the one who taught me. Everything's morpid.

You, Yield.

What do you have there?

It's nothing.

Jade, it was 20 years ago today that the Emperor named me as your bodyguard.

I know what Shao Kahn took from you.

And if you have been vicious or cruel to me, no one would have blamed you.

But you treated me like family.

The sister, who are my sister, in every way that matters.

I got you something.

For the tournament.

I was told that a proper princess is supposed to sit around by a pillow, standing

herself.

Then I thought, you are not exactly her load.

Hello, mother.

I was beginning to think.

I've been busy training for the tournament.

Good.

Because I have to teach me out, gods, for the tournament to begin.

Liberating Sprout with its champions.

I've seen many of us to die.

Why is he here?

I have a star's attention.

I hope you bring me to the sea.

My spies have located the relic.

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

We see the amulet.

And he 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 issued their charge, and yet they possess you.

When the star is done, the force of the marine succulents.

You're like a hurricane.

It's showtime.

You should have brought more guys. It's a guy's house, that's my mom's. Cheeky, I'm

bringing it up. My baby is a birthday, but it's my kid. Don't let it in, strong way.

Hey guys, I'm off the clock.

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

Mortal Kombat, huh?

Is that some kind of fan film?

It's a fighting tournament.

Yeah, not really my thing anymore.

Unless it's a pain.

More like a fate of the entire human race.

Tell me you're not some crazy fans.

Definitely not fans.

I'm right, I'm 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.

Alright, I think it's easy for you guys to leave.

But hey, I 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.

You will be among them.

The freedom you want will actually come from this tournament.

Fantastic.

I will see you then.

Thanks for coming.

Drive safe and say hi to Delta.

You're good, Sean.

Yes.

How are you doing?

How are you doing?

Don't worry, Mr. Cage.

But this divided man was meant to be.

Now are you coming or what?

It's okay, you're still on Earth.

Welcome to Raiden SkyCount.

That dude's got robot armies.

We served in the army together.

That's Jax Briggs, Special Forces.

That's Cole Young.

He soon absorbs attacks and makes you stronger.

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

That's Liu Kang.

He's the best fighter we got.

Shoot his fire.

I feel like that's cheating, but okay.

It kind of feels like bullshit that y'all have these crazy powers.

You know, incredibly handsome.

It could take months of training to unlock your powers.

We don't have that kind of time.

Yeah, well, who's... fault is that? I mean, if you knew this was coming, why don't

you waste the last second to find me? We used to have another champion. How loud?

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

Murdered? 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, Gandalf! Send me back. I want to go back.

Johnny, wait. No. No. You said turn it, which implies rules and referee and I don't

know, maybe you meant not some fucking squid game murder party. Dude wants to quit.

Just 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 shoot lightning bolts or fireballs or do whatever the fuck

it is flame fingers does. So...

Forgive me if I don't sign up to get him lost.

You were not wrong, Mr. Gage.

Nine times we have been charged, and nine times we have lost.

And now, two years later, Shao Kahn seeks the other realm to his dominion.

This is a war for the fate of your world.

The Gage, I get it. We all do.

Some stupid cosmic lottery decided that we're the ones that get to save the world.

Shit is terrifying.

You want to know the last thing I did to forgive you?

Let's think about my wife and my little girl.

The two most important things in my life.

There's a damn good chance I'm going to see them again.

And I'm okay with that.

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

We lose all the time.

The earth is gone.

And how many chances to face this together?

You, Johnny Cage, are a part of this now.

Johnny, even if you walk away, the elder gods can still summon you to fight.

Not if they can't fight.

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.

You saw some of those old fights.

You could have been one of the best.

But I...

It wasn't and that was a long time ago. That guy you won is dead and buried, or

maybe he's still in there proving it out. Hey, listen, I'm like 90% sure I have an

aneurysm, and this is some kind of pop.com agree, but I'm no chance this shit is. I

filled up with the whole savings world thing.

Know that when you died, it was not your so-called friends who brought you back.

It was not your age.

The great thing had done, the twisting out card,

rise now as a shadow of our world.

Sire, read the passage.

Quan Chi, I am told you sent your followers to Earth, Ra.

What were they doing?

Simply retrieving some lost property like my order of no father.

What is that?

The pain now.

One sling dog, please.

You're Johnny Cage.

That's what the tab says.

Oh, shit.

I frickin' love Citizen Cage.

That's a kid.

Thanks, man.

I appreciate it.

Dude, you know what they should do?

They should do another Citizen Cage.

Like a reboot.

Oh, 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 remembering a thousand dudes with a pencil.

That's what people want to see.

Not some dinosaur doing a bunch of karate poses.

Shit went out in the 90s.

I thought it was pretty cool.

The tune in the jazz beat up.

Today you're quite.

For all throughout, for the lives of everywhere you have ever known.

If you fail, the boss 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.

Now he said, to the winner.

Baby don't lose.

Well, it looks like it's my hockey day.

Wait.

I thought you said two of us were fighting.

You seem a little down, Donnie.

You're normally a little more animated.

Uno, my sex ed.

I know what you're going to happen.

Have you let it one out?

You know, I believe you're that type of voice.

You're a big bleached dildo.

I've just been dead.

In my fucking eyes, I will stop your incessant dwindling.

We can build you another.

Why is he not a revenant like the rest of us?

He was not worth the time or thing, though.

This one barely has a soul left to corrupt.

Ha!

Do you hear that, my blue pot?

I know you, good thing.

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

I don't know.

Probably in my pocket where I keep all the shit I steal.

Good thing.

I know.

She called her.

Yeah.

Who are you?

We could have left him, didn't we?

First off, fuck off.

And you, where are you going with that?

I won't take it to my father.

Do you know any princess who appears you are needed elsewhere?

Oi, you creepy fucking mom.

I stole that fair square.

Each flame represents a fighter.

The tournament ends when one side has no champions left.

Hey, how's it going, baby?

Listen, I'm warning you.

I got a Saturn award for this fight and a feature felons that don't miss with me.

Easy, all right?

Let's just take your time out here and talk about it, okay?

I really don't feel comfortable hitting a girl.

Don't worry.

You won't.

You got the top button!

Why are you being so mean?

Oh.

Please help!

Please help!

It seems your side is already defeated or angry.

Tragic.

And who are you?

Sundell.

High Queen of Edenia, consort to the great Shao Kahn.

They send their queen to fight?

No.

We send our best to fight.

Oof.

No offense, but you look really dead.

I was freed from my mortal bonds.

Shao Kahn showed me the pleasures of eternal life.

Perhaps I'll do the same for you.

What a pretty trick.

Would you like to see mine?

No, actually, I'm good.

What?

It appears our sides are now in.

What did I miss?

Fuck yeah, look who's back.

Well, how bad was it?

Zombie Queen.

It was vice.

Yeah.

So pretty goddamn bad.

You were eliminated from the tournament.

You lost.

You were lucky.

She was trying to battle at Julie.

Oi.

Many wives.

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

You promised me a new eye.

And it better be one that shoots lasers.

I have other priorities.

Wow.

Like, what?

If you're just adding more eyeliner, trust me, you look great.

Okay?

Come on, mate.

I keep bumping into trouble right in the center.

My peripheral vision is terrible.

Really bad, mate.

So hurry up.

Let's get started.

You don't have to do it right now.

You need to take measurements, you know.

Color her hair.

Okay.

Let's take a look.

Don't roll.

You idiot.

Hey.

The ambulance.

I want that back, and don't roll it.

Leave me alone.

The amulet does not belong to you.

Its powers are well beyond your regard.

I'm standing.

It is.

All right.

Let's take this baby for a test drive.

One, two, three, four.

Ow!

Snow.

Oh, shit, is that HD?

How many eyes have you made?

Can you do any other one?

Is it dry with Mr. Gish?

Yeah.

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

I would just ask why can't you do something worth a damn?

I screwed it all up.

So, yeah.

It's a drug just about something.

What are those?

Bills?

Are they magic fighting battles?

Is that how you get your powers?

Birdseed.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Birdseed, yeah.

No, I thought you were going to give me something.

But, uh, yeah.

Those are good.

You don't need that.

You need perspective.

Perspective.

There are 8 billion people.

And he...

and the gods chose you.

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

Maybe they made a mistake.

Maybe.

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

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

Isn't that great?

By the way, it's hot.

Nailed it!

You've done this.

I've seen it, though.

It's okay.

For many years now, Princess Kitana has been my eyes and ears inside the palace.

I wouldn't risk you 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 Shinnok's amulet.

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 eating a god.

Yeah, well, listen.

My friend is in the tournament.

Jade was raised under Shao Kha's army.

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

You went to another realm?

You followed me?

I am trying to keep you alive by spying on your friend and by keeping my friend

from making a mistake.

You are conspiring with Lord Raider, the enemy.

I swore about Katana.

You serve as Shao Kha's sword.

The second round of the tournament will consist of three matches.

Jax, call.

Who can?

I have been given you a life.

Look at that.

Still a part of his tombs.

But that's not why I mean it.

Labyrinth will be bound between you and see.

Once it is imprinted on you, Rindan's power will be yours.

Labyrinth will give you immortality.

Let's give it a shot.

BZJ.

Let's give it a shot.

I am talking about a story.

What?

Fuck you, I don't know.

I don't know.

For what it's worth, we find no joy. We will be great in every moment for everyone.

What is this?

How are you?

Go.

Why?

Lovely and haunting. Open my eyes to the truth. The gods have abandoned the creator.

Only they shall contain us now. One of those gods has risen above you, and you've

split strong.

From the house, remember who you are.

You were mine, then you're dead. Your realm falls, then you will be brothers again.

You

All right.

I'm going to bring you back.

Not today.

Is he?

He's alive.

Very alive.

We've been asking for you.

You.

I killed him.

That didn't happen.

Goodbye.

Raiden's portal is already weakened. He will not last. He is gone. Why would they

take his powers?

Shao Kahn is bonded with the amulet. Stolen the powers of a god. The only way to

reverse the process is to destroy the amulet. Well, we better do 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 fuck out of there. Before he even knows we're there. The palace

has defensive wards in place.

Open a portal and they'll sense you at once. So, what is the only place?

There is a tunnel beneath the castle.

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

Because it is the service engines for the Tarkovans.

What's a car?

And what did you do?

I did not do this, Katana.

It's a new thing.

Are you the leader of this clan?

I am Barakhan.

I am Nukai.

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

He uses you like slaves.

He treats you like Wahab Dog.

The young man will come to me and shall come to me.

The Shaltar has gone to me once in a while.

I challenge the Raka of Santa Carta to single combat.

I declare the Shaltar, I'll leave.

You know, everyone keeps talking.

Targeted this, targeted that, big feet, stabby arms, ooh, scary.

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

All right.

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

I'm Johnny fucking Cage.

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

I mean, look, man, I get it.

I'd be scared of you, too.

Someday, Shao Kahn's dead, and Outworld's been defeated, you're gonna have to tell

all your little spirit Halloween monster grandbabies that you had the chance to

fight the great Luke Kang.

But you were too much of a coward.

Holly wouldn't have killed you, Eddie, 101.

What did I do?

Me.

Well, what did I do?

What's wrong, Jimmy?

Bitch.

This guy's serious.

It's a fucking actor, okay?

Johnny Cage is just a character I play.

I'm stumbling to do this.

You're gonna have to do it.

Oh, no.

Oh, agreed.

You won't die.

Yeah, agreed.

I hard agree.

One minute, Bob.

It's all I'm in.

It's all I'm in.

It's all I'm in.

I can't do this.

No shit.

No shit.

Oh, God.

This is the groundage, okay?

Not the face.

Now stay down.

This is a stupid ass way to do this.

All right, get up.

Get up.

We're not done.

So act.

Fuck.

It was the greatest fun I've ever seen.

Rhapsody of the one that he called.

So be, so be changed.

You have done well, my people.

And someday I shall turn late.

Training speaking in your dreams and by this that's not upon your tongue

Yes

They say that you and your enemies are telling the sweet that they can be on your

tongue as well.

We're not going to have a good time. We have to talk.

As you can see.

Are you the only one to resurrect your mother if you have another race?

I went to Earthreal.

I went looking for Lord Raid.

But he was gone.

So were his chaplains. I do not know what happened.

They only know he made the law.

Chain her up in the town square. Let them see the streets inside the world. I went

to Earthreal. I went to Earthreal.

Jade, I'm much like a sister to you.

That was the thing you just did.

I still remember that it's okay for you.

That's how I say now.

Take me.

Bring in thanks.

Let's prove it.

Give me the lead, sir.

I am the last son to bring in.

And I.

Shaila Shiba!

Wanker!

Oh!

The ambulance!

Wow!

Let's move on to the bottom.

You fucking animal.

You fucking help me.

Oh, I know you.

I've seen some of your movies.

They're all shit.

Look at that.

Old Rockup Sockup's dead.

How about you?

You in the middle.

A little that way.

And you there.

Just a step forward.

There.

Now, let's hear me talk tonight.

What do you mean?

Okay.

And I said that ride in on a big white horse.

Save all you dumbasses.

I didn't need to stop.

There's always been a weakness.

Beg his forgiveness.

You've not stood against him in the skin.

It's just true.

Better days. What do you want, Kato? Well, right now I'm thinking I want you all to

win this thing.

Have you seen that, Wald? Or Adenia? It's nothing but rocks and sand and a sad

thing.

Why not want that? I like air conditioning, beer, bottomless breadsticks, tan lines

and one-night stands, threesomes, foursomes, Jack and Coke, just Jack, just Coke.

And why?

Should we trust you?

I know we're beyond taking the amulet.

Netherrealm.

What's Netherrealm?

The realm of the dead.

A place of fire.

Let the punishment.

Southbound.

I can't wait to use it.

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

there, so here's what I think.

We smash the amulet.

Get your powers back.

Southbound's been a plug-in.

Yeah, yeah, you can fill that fuck up.

Take it, Will.

Pretty boy here, gives me a wristy.

Everybody wins.

You dickhead's here, what?

Let's fucking go.

I mean, not the happy top, but I want to bring you back.

If you think you're ever doing what you have done, still there's you.

You have taste of Mr. Cage.

I'm sorry.

Bye, bye. Fuck me, bye.

Don't you go right behind?

Oh, you do not belong here.

I mean, if this is hell, you can sign me the fuck up.

What is this place?

Reality is the internet.

It is a place where nightmares walk around.

But dreams can be harbors too if one's will is strong enough.

Well, you've got to try this page, mate.

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

that bullshit.

I knew hell would be a pretty fucking sweet place.

Go on.

Search yourself.

We were sent by Lord Ray.

We need a guide to the wound, please.

I am sorry.

May I answer one?

It was a buy-in.

I think it was a buy-in.

It's not zero to fuck it.

You know, you killed your whole family.

It was...

I mean, they're trying to...

I'm sorry to listen.

I am Hanzo Hasashi, the Shidu who fell and cursed my god.

Keeping the seat warm?

Raiden has sent his lost warriors to Nevaru.

They're going after the amulet.

That means there's no one left to go out and let Raiden.

If we lose that amulet, we lose everything.

Shao Kahn will be stripped of power, and I'm fine with that.

Send me down there.

I will get the amulet while you take care of Raiden.

I would think your loyalties would be with your princess.

Kahn, I made her choice. I'm making mine.

I'm here in this place.

Be home.

He's here.

What about you?

This is your fault, old man.

I'm not here for them.

I'm here for your life.

You might be surprised.

I'm not the same man.

I love you, Shadow.

I love you, Shadow.

I love you, David.

It's like, where's the main event?

It's not the spot.

It's not the beauty.

That means this will be mine.

Are you kidding me? You don't have any pounds. It's just incredible.

Oh, we're fucked.

How do we destroy it?

Well, fuck it, I'm not.

What do you mean you don't know?

But 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 check the instructions on the back?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea.

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

Why don't you leave the jokes to me? You can stick to me in a cut.

You are you?

I am not the chosen one.

Your death is mine.

My journey is to return to my heart.

This is who I am.

Congratulations, Dean.

No.

One fighter remains.

I renounce our world.

I renounce your legacy of pain and cruelty.

I renounce you.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

One of us does.

First time in my life.

I am John Cage.

I don't know.

You're there.

You're walking.

You're walking.

No!

Peggy!

Thank you.

Mortal.

Please stand, please stand.

It's not something you're born with.

It's discovery.

Sometimes, even one small light is enough to hold back the darkness.

It's facing unimaginable loss.

And finding peace on the other side.

It's lifting up the ones you love.

No, they'll be there to catch you when you fall.

For greatness, then you might have an instant other time.

And he looks at me, and he says,

You, so much, Mr. Cage.

Thank you for giving your wisdom.

You know what I tell him?

What did you say?

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

That's...

They're suspected.

Strange.

There is no power in them.

Yeah.

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

Oh.

I may have taken two creative liberties.

Behold.

The human female, you raised me from the pitch of spines.

Seriously?

Two or three creative liberties.

Yeah, I gotta give 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.

Tell me there's not another tournament.

No.

Outworld has been defeated.

Earthrealm has been saved.

So, uh, what the fuck are you doing here?

We have lost far too many of our champions.

It's time to...

break them. Someone order a necromancer? Might look like Voldemort's in that sack,

but trust me, we're going to need this. I get up on me. All the time I say. You

ready for your next lesson? All the glory is to be sucked in page. Let's go get our

friends.

Then we killed him. There. Good.
