20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2021 (So Far)

16. Kung Lao Splits Nitara In Half - Mortal Kombat

False Positive
Warner Bros.

The new Mortal Kombat reboot wasn't a great movie by any means, but it captured enough of the brutally R-rated tone of the video games to deliver passable entertainment.

And it's never better than during its most nauseatingly violent fatality, where Kung Lao (Max Huang) takes on Nitara (Mel Jarnson) and finishes her off by hurling her into his iconic metal bladed hat.

The results are wonderfully disgusting: Nitara gets split straight down the middle by the hat blade, revealing a literal vertical slice of her insides while blood splashes over a visibly satisfied Kung Lao.

Considering it's the only live-action Mortal Kombat movie to have an R-rating, this scene alone ensured the rating was thoroughly earned.
