10 Things We Desperately Hope To See In The Mortal Kombat Film

10. Sub-Zero's Spine Rip Fatality

Mortal Kombat may have been an instant hit but that didn't stop the fighting game from causing a worldwide scandal. When it hit arcades back in the 1990s, parents and politicians were terrified Mortal Kombat's outrageous violence, decapitations, and dismemberments would traumatise children.

When news outlets wanted to emphasise the game's gore, they usually displayed a clip of Sub-Zero's fatality, which involves the ice-blasting ninja ripping off the head and spine of his victim.

Violence like this created such an outcry, it led to the creation of a video game rating system to prevent children from playing games with adult content. Complaints like this also encouraged the studio behind the 1995 film adaptation of Mortal Kombat to tone down the violence.

Luckily, this will not be an issue for the reboot since the filmmakers promised to show off the fatalities in all their bloody gory. Since the Spine Rip is the most infamous fatality in the franchise, it would be criminal not to incorporate it.

Having Sub-Zero perform this move wouldn't just be gratifying; it would prove the filmmakers didn't compromise their vision by cutting back on the gore.
