The new generation will never know how iconic the "Reptile" announcement is.

[etroqueen]

The person in the production team that included the “Reptile, ” name in the audio is a genius.

[cidmilitia]

20+ years later the music and "Reptile" voice still give me goosebumps.

[ProctorTheKrow]

A perfect example of when movie studios know the source material. Reptile was a hidden character in MK1 and he was treated as such in this. This whole fight feels like a hidden boss fight.

[MW-opwx]

Reptile's aggression was just on another level. No exposition, no talking. The beat drops and he kicks you through a wall.

[BluecollarjoeB]

Damn Reptile came to life, didn’t monologue, didn’t ask any questions... just went straight to business.

[davebruce]

The last Mortal Kombat film from 2021 doesn't have shit on the original. Mortal Kombat 1995 is still the GOAT.

[remigusker]

Can we appreciate the fact that out of every fight in this movie Reptile got the closest to putting one of the protagonists in a body bag? Dude put in fucking work

[ellz]

This damn instrumental....still makes me fight 7 invisible ninjas...

[brendansullivan]

Johnny Cage is outside playing the music

[sam-]

I’m 34 now and this fight scene is still mint. REPTILE 🗣️

[TheLegendoftheTravelingTARDIS]

I remember watching this in the movie theater and the crowd going completely ape when they hear "Reptile!' The bicycle kick was definitely the cherry 🍒 on top.

[christopherarriagada]

Man this Liu Kang was absolutely crazy.
Probably the most perfect casting we will ever get.

[riotMikeV]

Reptile is a straight savage. He wakes up and dropkicks the first dude he sees through a brick wall. DAMN!

[skylerhorner]

The absolute NOSTALGIA between the video games and hearing “Reptile” just before he comes to life is what makes this moment one of the best in cinematic history (for me at least).

[EsteemedReptile]

God, it's not just the music, it's the sound effects. Those big, meaty, heavy thuds and crunches that just sound like they swung a bag of cement at eachothers faces. So fucking good.

[onlyritedavo]

Reptile is the definition of “woke up and chose violence”

[TheBallsthewalls]

This scene was originally not in the finished movie. Test screenings came back that people wanted more fights. This was done really quick and ends up being one of the best moments in the movie.

[Trevor]

Favorite fight of the whole movie, the “Reptile” name sound from the game, the costume, the straight to business vibe. I used to rewind the vhs tape over and over to watch this fight lol

[Kncperseus]

Whoever came up with the idea for Reptile creature concept, deserves praise.
The the statue that the actual Lizard creature gets trapped in - it's essentially both a slow death sentence and an instant addition to the Outworld Army.
Instead of simply executing captured soldiers, the statue instead traps them and slowly starts to power itself using their energy.
