About the Dragon Jets, there was a Threshold Entertainment internal document that was leaked that said the following:

"We always mix ultra-high tech with ultra mythological. The squads' and the villains' vehicles look like dragons and ancient beasts, in order to blend seamlessly into other worlds, but are in reality the most advanced forms of transportation. A moss covered ancient stone converts into a state of the art computer monitoring system. Characters have [a] running debate over pros and cons of technology. For example, Nightwolf thrives on it, Liu Kang hates it, but is forced to learn in order to survive."

And:

"In addition to their mystical looking, super powered vehicles, they use thousands of year old tunnels and passageways beneath the earth that kind of bend space, allowing for exceptionally quick, efficient, and secretive travel on this planet. They travel to other realms of existence through numerous portals, always hard to find and different. To speed through the tunnels, the MKs use their extraordinary DRAGONJETS, special hi-tech land-air-sea crafts, which on the outside resemble mythical dragon-like creatures. Inside, the cockpit is remarkably hi-tech, nothing like it as been seen before; the control panel is glass and seemingly suspended in air. Each Dragonjet it slightly different, personalized to the team members operating it. And each Dragonjet has certain mysterious 'survival qualities.' When severely damaged, or threatened, the Dragonjets will mysteriously act on their own, righting themselves if flipped, extinguishing fires if aflame. They also change shape often to conform to different environments. They will be designed to look much like real dragons and they fire flame-like blasts from their 'mouths.' The Dragonjets have protracting wings for flying, but their main function is to speed through Earth's subterranean tunnels and underground river systems."

I hope long-time MK DOTR fans find this most interesting, as not all of these ideas were actually seen in the short-lived series.

HAH, it gets better. Scorpion flys a Jet too! And you will never guess what animal its shaped like.

I gonna quote Tundra/Sub-Zero II on this, "JOHNNNY NO!!"

Oh god. That just made my day.
