Directed by Paul W. S. Anderson and starring Robin Shou, the movie opens with the legendary Raiden guiding a group of fighters to a remote island. Among them are the warrior Liu Kang, the military officer Sonya Blade and martial arts movie star Johnny Cage. They all head to the Shaolin tournament known as Mortal Kombat, which takes place once a generation between representatives of Earth and the Outworld. Outworld has already won nine times, and a tenth consecutive victory would give them the right to invade Earth. The heroes arrive on the island knowing that the next victory could decide the fate of the planet, and Raiden's warning weighs on each of them from the very start.

Trivia about Mortal Kombat

Cameron Diaz was initially cast as Sonya Blade, but she left the project due to a wrist injury.

Goro was played by a $1 million animatronic, operated by between 13 and 16 puppeteers. The person operating it from inside could only endure two minutes at a time due to lack of oxygen.

Robin Shou introduced wire fu into the choreography, making the movie one of the first Hollywood films to use it.

The film was the highest-grossing video game adaptation until it was surpassed by Pokémon: The First Movie in 1998.

The role of Raiden was first offered to Sean Connery, who turned it down because he didn't want a physically demanding part.

Robin Shou broke two ribs during a scene with Reptile and didn't say anything for fear the production would be shut down.

Anderson had no visual effects experience, so he read every book he could find on the subject before filming.

The soundtrack features additional guitar by Buckethead and drums by Brain.

Quotes by Mortal Kombat

They are all great fighters. But I have looked into their souls…and yours. One of you three will decide the outcome of the tournament. The fate of billions depends upon you. [chuckling before realizing what he did] Sorry.
From this moment on, my island will be your battleground. [points to Liu Kang] Liu Kang, you will be first. Let Mortal Kombat begin.
I'm in a hostile environment. I'm totally unprepared. And I'm surrounded by a bunch of guys who probably want to kick my ass... it's like being back in high school.
You can look into my soul, but you don’t own it.
Grandfather: Spare him, my lord Raiden. American life has enfeebled his mind. Too much television.
Those were $500 sunglasses, asshole!
