Since MKD is full of death traps, and every edition from MK1 onwards has had many versions of stage fatalities, I was wondering if they are going to play more of a role in the upcoming film?

The first MK movie had 'The Pit', which was cool imo. But other than that, the only thing similar to a death trap was in MKA where Rain and Baraka (or was that Rain twice ???grin) were knocked into the ring of fire.

About 80% of the arenas in Deception have one or more death traps as a means of finishing the round, which would seem to be more reason for them to appear more in the 3rd MK film.

So, would you like to see the stage fatalities feature more in MK3? And if so, do you have any ideas for cool ones that would fit? Or, which ones from the games would you like to see used?

You forgot about the Iron Cage that crushed Sheeva to death.
A DT/SF that has to do with the Living Forest eating someone would be nice.

That sounds cool, but I'm afraid it would end up looking terribley cheesy.

I think either of the meatgrinder-type stage-fatalities would be very sweet.

Both good replies, I like the ideas!

I think this would be cool if done correctly, but I think I agree with Trogdor that they would probably screw it up! They kinda tried The Living Forest thing in MK1 in the fight between Johnny and Scorp, but I imagine that if they redid it with the live trees it would be soooo cool.
Imagine it being set late at night, with a low mist covering teh floor - the trees could be made up just like in the games, scary looking etc. Perhapss even Smoke and Jade could be seen in the background, hiding between the trees...Then at the end, someone either gets thrown into a tree's mouth OR perhaps just thrown against a tree, when all of a sudden the limbs creep down and trap the groggy fighter - who is then left open for a gruesome death from the winner...

Again, I agree with this one. The meat-grinder from MKD, was shown as the centerpiece in most of the trailers for Deception - so to be included in MK3 is a logical step. Plus it would be very gross and bloody! Which is the true essence of MK.wink

I agree, death traps would be interesting. But I don't have much hope in this movie since Annihilation so I'll just wait and see if they actually pull of producing something watchable.

Death Traps/ Stage Fatalities sound great to me and it was done very well in the first so it would very interesting to see how they would do it ten years later.

Besides the Living Forest DT/SF, I would rather see more Fatalities. It should be easier to pull off than Death Traps.
We have seen Man Eating trees in one of the Dracula films and then there are those trees from the Evil Dead or Army Of Darkness, So I'm sure they could make man eating trees work. How hard could it be?

There were also those evil living trees in Big Fish.

Anyway I would rather see more fatalities from big fighters like Goro or Moloch than see death traps.
