Mortal Kombat: 30 Absolute Best Easter Eggs You Need To See
9. Some Of The Actors Hooked Up (MKII / MK3)
While making Mortal Kombat 3, the actor who portrayed Shao Kahn, Bryan Glynn, started dating Lia Montelongo, who portrays Sindel. Coincidentally, both characters are married in the game.
Weirdly, this isn't the only time the actors became romantically involved. The central love story in Mortal Kombat is between EarthRealm's champion, Liu Kang, and the Edenian princess, Kitana. Interestingly, this romance was portrayed in the 1995 film adaptation of Mortal Kombat before it was canonical in the games.
However, the original inspiration for turning the pair into a couple was from the actors. While working on Mortal Kombat II, Ho-Sung Pak, who portrays Liu Kang, and Katalin Zamiar, who portrays Kitana, started dating.
The developers were inspired by the actors' romance and decided to incorporate it into the story. Although the duo's love for each other is implied in Mortal Kombat 3, it was verified in Liu Kang's ending in Mortal Kombat 4.
