For those of you that didn't know (it makes "most of us" since I didn't know about it and if I did I'd forgotten about this), Mortal Kombat: The Movie was made available on a format known as a MovieCD. Simply put, this format carried movies on CDs that could be played on the computer.
This was during the Windows 3x/95 heyday, so you could about imagine the difficulties multitasking with a movie playing (the movie description reads as if you shouldn't multitask). The justification for this were two: 1. Have a portable copy of MK and 2. Have a backup of the movie.
Update: I will NOT be uploading the movie due to the file size and inability to convert it to a flash file due to its compression, sorry. The quality is horrible and even though the files are AVI, they require a program called Motion Pixels to decompress the video codec used. Simply put, the images are practically 256 color quality.
The scans include the case's label (they were boxed like audio books on CD in a CD-style clamshell) and both discs plus screenshots.

Mortal Kombat: The Movie has been officially released in these formats in the U.S.:
- VHS
- DVD (single, 2 different DVD case styles, and with other movies)
- Laserdisc
- MovieCD
- Netflix
The movie HAS NEVER BEEN RELEASED IN THE US on Blu-ray. Blu-ray releases have appeared online but from Canada. Because the U.S. does not directly control these releases they are subject to doubt and for the purposes of the U.S., do not exist.
