20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2021

7. Nitara Gets Bisected - Mortal Kombat

Whether you loved, hated, or were simply indifferent to the new Mortal Kombat adaptation, the R-rated approach to the movie's violence was most certainly welcome, especially after the original '90s films were both rated PG-13.

And this glossy new take on the video game franchise sure didn't leave fans wanting for grisly fatalities, delivering one of the greatest video game movie moments ever when Kung Lao (Max Huang) finishes off Nitara (Mel Jarnson).

Lao ends the fight by throwing her into his metal bladed hat, resulting in her being split down the middle in a basically medical amount of detail, all while the red stuff splashes over a clearly thrilled Lao.

It's a fantastic fusion of practical and visual effects, and proves how creative filmmaking can bring the games' signature fatalities to tangible life on the big screen.
