Yeah, it would be cool - but don't count on it, seeing as how they will most likely not make it an R movie, so they can genereate much more profit.

However if they are creative they could show fatalities in a less gruesome way, and I would be more than happy with that. For instance, Kung Lao's decepitation: After he defeats whoever he is facing, we see him toss his hat towards their neck, he turns away from the opponent, and the camera switches from a full view of Lao and his opponent, to a focus of just Kung Lao with a grin on his face - and we see the head roll into the view out of focus in the background...a lot can be done with just the sounds and allusion - let people's imagination explore what was hinted at.

That is how I would do it anyways...

Oh, and I think in MK1 the fatalities were pretty good, Sub Zero's freeze and shatter and the Pit death at the end were quite cool...

As long as they don't look half assed.

Cyrax Did his self-destruct Fatality in MKA.......
