20 Video Game Movie and TV Moments That INSULTED Fans

20. Johnny Cage Fatality - Mortal Kombat Annihilation (1997)

This year brings the moment gaming fans have been waiting for: Karl Urban brings Johnny Cage to the big screen in Mortal Kombat II. But it’s not the first time the classic character has been up there.

The actor-turned-interdimensional fighter made his first live action appearance in Paul W S Anderson’s middling-at-best 1995 adaptation Mortal Kombat. Played by Linden Ashby, Johnny joined Special Forces officer Sonya Blade (Bridgette Wilson), former Shaolin monk Liu Kang (Robin Shou) and Lord Raiden the god of thunder (Christopher Lambert) to defend Earthrealm from Outworld, and prevent the mysterious emperor Shao Kahn (Brian Thompson) from taking over.

However, video game and film fans alike who rocked up to the film’s sequel, Mortal Kombat Annihilation, expecting to see Johnny rip through a new horde of uglies were sorely disappointed. In a jaw-dropping opening moment, he has his neck snapped by Shao Kahn and that’s him done, light out, gone for good.

We can only hope and pray Simon McQuoid and co. know what they’re doing with Urban – and can return him to Earthrealm in one piece!
