10 GORIEST Mortal Kombat Fatalities You Can't Handle

3. Hooked - Kabal (MK11)

The Black Dragon mercenary, Kabal, is easy to recognise due to his Hookswords, which play a part in many of his moves and Fatalities. For his finisher in Mortal Kombat 11, he slices his opponent's stomach open, causing their intestines to fall out. He then turns them around and chops at the Achilles' tendons, forcing his foe to slide forward. (Clearly, Kabal has seen the film, Hostel.) As his opponent is about to fall over, Kabal catches them by the face with his Hookswords. To finish, he places his foot on their back and shoves them forward, causing his blades to cuts the head clean off.

When discussing the Fatalities, people tend to mainly focus on the visuals, not realising the sound effects are just as important. It's not the cutting and slicing that makes this Fatality hard to watch; it's the sound of the Hookswords cleaving into the opponent's jaws and teeth just before it pops open that sends a shiver down your spine. Do yourself a favour and don't watch this move if you're going to the dentist anytime soon.
