Fatalities have always been the hallmark of theMortal Kombatseries. It invented them after all, and in so doing created a legacy of stomach-churning, over the top violence that almost single-handedly triggered the establishment of the ESRB.
The forthcoming franchise rebootMortal Kombat 1looks to continue that legacy and go one further with its own set of gory and disgusting finishing moves that will make even the most hardcoreMKfans flinch. The following are just a few of the most unbelievably brutalMortal Kombat 1fatalities that will test your intestinal fortitude.
Fan favorite Liu Kang hasn’t lost anything in the way of ferocity in becoming a fire god. His Double Dragon finisher has twin flame dragons seize the hapless opponent mid-air as Liu Kang leaps high above, then uses the opponent’s own head as a splitting maul to cleave the body in two. A pile of gore rains down moments later.
The Edenian noble uses her trademark steel-bladedtessento trap the opponent in a whirling cyclone. The razor-sharp fans then draw in on the unfortunate foe, eviscerating them from both the top and bottom until nothing is left but a bloody, indistinguishable mess on the ground.
Sub Zero hurls a massive ice shard that slices through the opponent. Then, as the shard boomerangs back, the cryomancer kicks the enemy around to face the projectile just in time to receive a gory middle hair part. The head is then cleaved as the body slides to the ground.
Cage face plants his victim onto a Hollywood star-style plaque before using it to rip their face off—slowly. All of which is about as gory as you’d expect. Johnny then takes a selfie with the faceless abomination. Classy stuff.
