20 Greatest Video Game Movie Moments EVER

3. Scorpion Vs. Sub-Zero - Mortal Kombat (2021)

2021's Mortal Kombat reboot features two battles between Scorpion (Hiroyuki Sanada) and Sub-Zero (Joe Taslim), but the first just about edges it because it isn't interrupted by the pointless presence of an entirely new character nobody asked for, Cole Young (Lewis Tan).

The film kicks off in 17th century Japan, where a team of assassins led by Bi-Han aka Sub-Zero slaughter the clan led by Hanzo Hasasha aka Scorpion.

After Scorpion brutally lays waste to Sub-Zero's men with his chained kunai, it's time for a one-on-one showdown - a savagely hard-hitting brawl in which Scorpion's bladed skills face off against Sub-Zero's freezing abilities.

Ultimately Sub-Zero comes out on top by stabbing Scorpion with his own blade, killing him but ultimately just setting the stage for a more kitted-out rematch at the very end of the movie.
