Mortal Kombat 1: 22 Biggest WTF Moments

Although MK1 reset everything, many key elements in the story play out the same way as in the first timeline. Because of this, there are a myriad of references to the original series.

And there is one nostalgic throwback that is sure to make every long-time fan squee with delight: After Shang Tsung joins forces with Quan Chi, the shapeshifting sorcerer uses his power to awaken a legion of undead soldiers, known as The Dragon Army.

Any MK purist should recognise this is the same battalion that featured prominently in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.

Although the Dragon Army belongs to Emperor Ying instead of Onaga in this timeline, seeing this little Memberberry left gamers smiling from ear-to-ear.
