Fatalities are what give the Mortal Kombat franchise its identity. These finishing moves have been the subject of controversy for decades, often drawing the ire of conventional media outlets for their unabashed gruesome nature. Spilling viscera, slicing limbs, and crushing skulls have remained a staple of the series despite the criticism, however. As NetherRealm Studios prepares for the release of Mortal Kombat 11 and the property’s 30th anniversary, the following are some of the best Mortal Kombat fatalities that fans have witnessed so far.
Johnny Cage is one of the medium’s best comic relief characters. His “Here’s Johnny” fatality is the perfect representation of his hilariously cruel style. In it, the famous actor slaps around his opponent, digs his fists into his or her back, and carves a hole big enough for his face to fit into. The camera cuts to the front portion of the victim’s body to capture Cage as he says “Heeeere’s Johnny!” Even if one can’t stomach Mortal Kombat‘s macabre gameplay, he or she can at least appreciate NetherRealm’s great taste in horror cinema.
Noob Saibot’s “Make A Wish” fatality is grisly enough to make the creator of the property, Ed Boon, uncomfortable. The wraith summons his shadow clone for this finisher so that each may cling on to one of an opponent’s legs. The men pull away so that the enemy is gradually ripped apart in the center and his or her guts spill onto the battlefield below. When each half is nicely torn off, Noob and his clone hold up their respective trophies proudly. The “Make A Wish” fatality is a move that only Mortal Kombat is able to get away with. Its inclusion in other franchises would have drawn significant controversy.
