I even made a list:

-Victis honor = Honor to the vanquished
-Omnia mors aequat = Death equals all things
-Resquiescat in pace = Rest in peace
-Cogi qui potest, nescit mori = (S)He who can be forced has not learned how to die
-Corpora lente augescent cito extinguuntur = Bodies grow slowly and die quickly
-Bene decessit = She has died a good death
-Omnes vulnerant, ultima necat = They all wound and the last one kills
Also, the P.A. announcements in the Subway are neat.
I also made a list, because I was clearly really bored...
-Please wait for the portal to open completely before entering
-Urinating on the platform is strictly forbidden
-Please dispose of litter in the proper receptacle
-For the courtesy of your fellow passengers, loud music is forbidden on the platform
-Loud radios are prohibited on the platform
-Standing in front of an oncoming train is punishable by fine
-There is no smoking on the platform. All violators will be fined
-Nudity is prohibited on the platform
-Please stand clear of the tracks as the train approaches
-Please refrain from throwing fatality victims onto the tracks
-Nano blasters(?) are prohibited on the platform
-The transit authority is not responsible for personal belongings

Good finds, those are pretty interesting.

I might be crazy but I think their bones are a different color from everyone else's during X-Ray too, Silver instead of a slight yellowish-brown. It's almost unnoticeable though, since the silver looks more like white which just makes you think of normal bones.


Hmm never noticed that. About Sektor and Cyrax bleeding oil or whatever the black liquid that bleeds from them were replaced by their own blood. I think that's what changes the color of their internal organs. Their blood was transfused with oil. I wonder what the science behind that is (in the MK world).

The green glow coming from underneath Shang Tsungs Courtyard, Is the Soul chamber under there or something?

When I saw that, and that Goro's lair had a bluish-green grated skylight, I thought for sure that they were the same thing and in story mode, Shang would send Liu to fight Goro by opening a trap door under his feet.

When he just used a portal instead, I was quite disappointed.

You can also notice a Shokan symbol, also seen in Goro's belt, in the hatch. NRS left the hatch opening for fans to imagine then I suppose.

How can Mileena pronounce her "P"s if she has no lips?
That is an interesting contradiction. Probably the same way Scorpion can talk. The most of the plot holes can be explained by magic, maybe NRS goes that route.

I found it interesting that Mileena says "UMAD?" (after X-ray IIRC).

Found some about Kratos:
-If Johnny Cage performs his And The Winner Is... Fatality on Kratos, for some odd reason he will not get a trophy planted in his head.
-If Mileena's Be Mine Fatality is performed on Kratos, she will not eat Kratos's face, instead she will immediately drop it on the ground for a unknown reason.
-If Ermac's Pest Control Fatality is performed on Kratos, Kratos will yell at Ermac instead of running around in fear.
-When Raiden does his Transplant Fatality, Kratos' mouth is closed, but light can still be seen coming from his mouth.
-When Smoke performs his Smoked Out Fatality on Kratos, his Blades of Exile fade away with him.
-Also, when Smoke performs his Tremor Fatality on Kratos, his mouth will stay closed, but smoke will still come out of his mouth.
-When Shang Tsung performs his Identity Theft Fatality on Kratos, the green glowing lights are placed higher than his eyes.
-When Cyber Sub-Zero performs his Brain Freeze Fatality on Kratos, he does not go into rigor mortis, but simply falls down.
-When Stryker does his Have A Blast Fatality on Kratos, Kratos will be in fury instead of being in panic.
-When Kung Lao does his Razor's Edge Fatality on Kratos, he will not start to panic.
-Shao Kahn's Double Down Fatality is done on Kratos, he will scream with his mouth shut.
-If Noob Saibot's As One Fatality is performed on Kratos, Kratos will not react much when his lower torso gets separated
-When Skarlet's Make It Rain Fatality is performed on Kratos, he will attempt to break free from the blood pillars instead of panicking.
-When Kenshi performs his Split Ends Fatality on Kratos, Kratos will not flinch when Kenshi throws his sword.
-When Rain performs his Bubble Burst Fatality on Kratos, he will not expand, but instead he just stands in a "T" stance and will explode.

The Secret fighters in Arcade mode have no meter...not like they need it. They slap shit :D

Johnny Cage in Story Mode acts a LOT like his movie counterpart :D

Scorpion's Klassic Fatality has no "Toasty" sound effect... that would've been hilarious.

Instead of going into hiding after MK1, Goro sticks around in Story Mode to get beat on more XD

1. Characters costume in the intro, everybody got the new costume, but if this was supposed that happened in MK:A, so they ́d had to wear their MK:A costumes and not the new ones

2. in the first chapter: jhonny cage, when shang says: "finish him", then Cage says: "im not a killer"...LOL...he got two of the goriest fatalities in the game...

3. Kabal (Police) being surprised after watching Rayden shooting lightnings from his hands, but some minutes later he can shoot sparks from his eyes, and can run very fast...

4. the funniest part where i really LOL ́ed was watching kano Throwing laser to the hostages, he was really enjoying it...LOL

5. Kano cyber eye blinking ..LOL

6. in stryker chapter, he arrives to fight mileena with a mini uzi, but in the fight he shoot with a Magnum....

7. Why Kano remains frozen so long in Cyber Sub-zero Chapter???...there was a fight, then a conversation and he remains frozen

i had posted this a long time ago just when the game had been released, but i thought it was worth to post them again wink

Here's a few more to mention.

The Temple stage.
Pay attention to the priest in the background, after awhile, he fucking stabs the body in the chest. O_o
I like how there's background characters in that stage, like another victim in chains walking with other priest. And they get close to the sacrificial table and then just waits.

I like how performing a babality on someone using an alternate costume, they will wear that alternate as a baby. Mileena looks like a midget in her "Costume 3".

Goro gets pretty damm excited when you uppercut an opponent in Goro's stage while your not playing against him.

Try it lol


I sadly just noticed this myself just a few days ago.
Uppercutting makes him roar, and also if you do a combo that's at least 3 hits, he'll scoot in his seat. That's it.

Rockchalk5477 Wrote:

Wow. So that's what that "weird noise" is when I play in that stage. I thought it was like a DJ audio part to the revamped Subway music.

Garlador Wrote:
Here's a few details I enjoyed.

- I love how bodies randomly wash up onto the Wasteland stage as you're fighting.
- If you start losing or spamming moves in Kahn's Coliseum, the crowd throws garbage at you.


@ Wasteland. Where? I don't see it. Which side is it on? Background or foreground?

@ Kahn's Colliseum. Tried it, didn't work. The crowd already starts throwing stuff as soon as the much starts, and not at you either.

Zmoke Wrote:I found it interesting that Mileena says "UMAD?" (after X-ray IIRC).


She says "Don't be mad".

Johnny Cage on the other hand says "Don't hate" when you perform his Babality.

Wow, good search of things. Well, i have somemthing too. If you throw your into the Opponent with Kano and perform a fatality, the knife remains into the body the whole time.

This works one every fatality ( tag team ) and for both of kanos specials with his knife ( enhanced and normal ).

-Raiden yelling "ENOUGH!" with echoes while Jax and Johnny Cage are fighting in story mode. Reference to the movie,

- Nightwolf saying "What is it?" to which Kitana responds "Mother!" similar to how she said it in the movie.

-Kung Lao teasing Liu Kang about Kitana being his girlfriend, a reference to Shaolin Monks.

-The posters changing in the Subway (from NRS and WB logos to car ads and I think someone said they had Hangover 2 posters up before too.)

-Stages having more than one version.

-Kano not talking in his intro but yelling "My turn!" during his X-Ray.

When Ermac has his mask battle-damaged, his teeth are visible, and they are yellow.

Kabal's alternate costume (it's a mix between his SWAT uniform and his breathing apparatus) has him wear his MK3 mask.
One of Kabal's eyes is fine, but the other is blinded.

Liu Kang's win pose has him summoning a dragon (shaped like the MK dragon logo) in his hand.

When teleporting using Raiden's alternate costume (Dark Raiden from the Story Mode intro) his teleporting is red instead of blue, but all his other powers are still colored blue.

When using Skarlet's Make It Rain Fatality on Sheeva, Skarlet will summon 6 blood pillars, to accomodate for Sheeva's 6 limbs.

Sub-Zero fights Ermac twice in the Story Mode, first during MKII after Ermac removes Jax's arms, then fighting Ermac in the Bell Tower after Sub-Zero became a Cyborg.

Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot are the only fighters whose X-Rays do not make their opponent fall to the ground.

If Johnny Cage's Nut Cracker (EX Nut Punch) is successfully performed, sometimes Johnny will say "Pottyshot!".

He's saying "money shot", which is a film term for the most expensive scene in the movie or the best scene, the one that'll sell tickets. Or in porn, it means the part where the guy shoots his load, lol.

WeaponTheory, awesome awesome thread!

Good job at sparking up this interesting discussion. I wish we had a lot more threads like this one in the forum.

I'm very happy to see so many excellent responses and I'm definitely glad to be awarding Dragon Points to all the posters.

I was honestly ready to make a very similar thread because I think there are just SO MANY awesome easter eggs, nods, references, and cool new interesting details about MK in this game that should be brought to our attention. I'm talking about little things like classic victory poses incorporated in round-win animations as well as the "main boss" different death and hidden easter eggs in the challenge tower.

Challenge Tower and StoryMode definitely provide tons of interesting content and I'd love to tackle some of it soon.

I'll come back and post my contributions ASAP. In the meantime, people, keep your posts coming! Maybe we can create a compilation of all these huge and little interesting details that make this game so special and nearly flawless.

Keep it coming!

I'm gonna name some more

Klassic Cyrax randomly appears to the far left of the desert stage..stuck in the sand...still

When Stryker shouts "Old Skool!" when he does a certain kombo

All the nods to the Deadly Alliance

Quan Chi's alt was a concept from I think MK Deception

When you see Smoke pop out from the tree, it's MKII Smoke...this was before we got the klassic kostumes.

Sheeva's round win pose is a reference to her win pose in MK3

Kitana's Challenge Tower win pose is a reference to her MK2 win pose

Stryker's Challenge Tower win pose is a reference to his MK3 win pose

Skarlet's "Make It Rain" Fatality done on Sheeva is the only Fatality altered specificly for Sheeva's 2 extra arms.

This is a really great thread.

The only thing I can contribute that hasnt been mentioned is that I find it VERY interesting that Kung Lao defeats the Deadly Alliance of Shang Tsung and Quan Chi yet during the original timeline, Liu Kang falls when facing them.

I actually love this decision. It really gives KL his due. Sux how they treat him 2 seconds later.
