This film adaptation of the wildly popular video game comes complete with dazzling special effects and plenty of martial arts action. The plot revolves around a tournament that pits evil against good. The sinister team, led by the vile sorcerer Shang Tsung, includes the ice-wielding Sub-Zero, the serpent-like Reptile, and the gigantic, four-armed, muscle-bound mutant Goro. The good guys are led by Lord Rayden, who uses electricity as a weapon. His pupils include martial arts expert Liu Kang, vain movie star and karate expert Johnny Cage, and Sonya Blade, a task-force commando who KNOWS how to kick some butt. Adding to the tension is the fact that whichever team wins 10 Kombat tournaments in a row will rule the Earth. And Shang Tsung's demonic team has won the last nine.
Three warriors, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage and Lui Kang, battle the servants of the evil sorcerer Shang Tsung to determine the fate of the world. Based on the popular video game.
Filmed on location in Thailand.

The only video game film that stays true to the game........ When watching video game films now like Resident Evil, I feel disappointed knowing that the movie had nothing to do with the game and ends up being a waste in production, but with Mortal Kombat, it's different. It is the only video game film that's actually based on the game that the movie represents! This makes it better to watch for fans who played the game and believe me, if you watch this movie and you are not a fan of the Mortal Kombat series, you will be. Mortal men and women fighting for the fate of mankind in the tournament of MORTAL KOMBAT!! Submitted by Julian (Coral Springs, FL, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 2 of 2 found this helpful.
Kombat Begins!!! This is an incredible DvD with both the widescreen and the normal version!!! It has the original trailer and it's exciting to see it over and over again. The sound it's for me the best in quality since the opening just turn you into pieces with the classic "mortal kombat!(tm)" sream!.
