I was 7 years old when this came out. I begged everyone in my family to come see this movie, cause it was gonna be so awesome just like the 1st. Long story short, dad fell asleep, and everyone else was either scratching their heads or laughing out of embarrassment. I never got to pick another movie after that

[tommybellic]

Say what you want but the fact that they included Raiden's flying scream makes this scene legendary to me 😂

[colinj]

"Mother...You're alive"
"Too bad, YOU...will die"

Some serious character development, right there.

[mikev]

Sindel gets a bad rap but Shao Kahn's actor is completely over the top - and it is GLORIOUS!!!!

[edwardsolaire]

Shao Kahn sounds like he's going to cry at any moment.

Some serious character development.

[Heller]

I love how khan and raiden have to flip great distances just to talk to each other

[cfroggy]

I don’t care what any of you say, growing up renting the two mortal kombat movies from blockbuster was the best times as a kid.

[starwarsguy]

That guitar riff when Sindel makes her entrance…perfect 👌

[richardrodwell]

Kitana "Mother! You're alive!"

Sindel "Too bad you will die!"

That dialogue is up there with Shakespeare lol.

[ConspiracistLizardMan]

When you and your friends decide to make an action movie.

2:12. Saving grace moment for the entire film.

[JuanGonzalez-nhqs]

The Johnny Cage entrance taking off his glasses like a boss was the best part of this scene.

[cmhavner]

The budget for this movie couldn’t afford to break his glasses

[Makoto]

I remember seeing this in theaters and being horrified by the opening. Not only did half the cast have an actor change but they killed off freaking Johnny Cage in the first 5 minutes. What the heck?!

[richa]

This will always be one of my favorite childhood movies....I absolutely loved it and still do

[eggshan]

I can remember being 9 when this came out in theaters....dad took me. Even being that young I remember apologizing to him after we watched it

[Street__Soul]

“What closes can also be opened again!” That’s some profound shit right there RAIDEN!

[DavidYangMusic]

As a kid this movie was the shitt!... as an adult i still enjoy it for what it was 😂😂😂... but mann shao khan sounds like hes about to laugh and cry at the same time 😂😂😂😂

[christopherhollis]

0:57 Johnny trying to warn us how the movie was going to go. Lol
