Oh man finally! I was starting to run out of Edenians.grin That was a tough one Zmoke, well done.

Ok let's see now:

1. In which Mortal Kombat stage can you find promotional advertisement to join the ranks of the U.S. Special Forces?

2. Name at least 6 Hollywood movies that clearly make Mortal Kombat references (This doesn't include T.V. Series, Cartoons or Programs such as Robot Chicken, etc. and please do explain your answers)

P.S. As diirecthit said,"No cheating now, that means no Wiki, Google, Youtube or any other related source)
The only valid thing allowed to do is to play the Mk games, watch movies or ask a friend.
Happy Gaming and Movie Watching! glasses

1. Correct the Subway it is. You can see it either in Armageddon or in MK9.

2. That's right The 40 Year Old Virgin is one of them. 1/6 only 5 more to go.
Don't give up, try asking friends. Oh yeah and congratulations you are playing fair. The rest of you remember no cheating! glasses

That is correct, Adam Sandler's Billy Madison is another one of them.
Ok 2/6 only 4 more to go! I'll give you a clue another of the movies stars a famous comedy actor. Second clue: Lisp. Enough clues to answer! glasses

To be fair, Kano and (supposedly) Smoke doppelgängers do appear in the Disney movie, but because these fighting game characters are property of Disney's main rival, Warner, they didn't get the rights to these characters. The Wreck-It Ralph character is undoubtedly similar with Kano and Jax.

You got it! Wreck-It-Ralph is another of the movies, indeed a cyborg version of Kano can be seen at the BadAnon meeting, he even does his trademark Heart Rip Fatality on the poor zombie. You can also see Noob attending the meeting as well in his MKD primary costume.

Ok guys 3/6 you're halfway there! Remember the clues I gave you earlier, I'll even give you a 3rd one here goes: Cable glasses

Is that along with the earlier clues? Because if so...that fits Jim Carey's speech in Cable Guy. I wouldn't think that counted though since it's just him talking about playing the game.

Actually you got it, Cable Guy is another of the movies that references MK. Although Jim talks about playing Mortal Kombat with a friend in Vietnam, he actually mentions the game's name. Remember I said Mortal Kombat references in Hollywood movies, it can be either playing the game like in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, mentioning the game's name like in Billy Madison or in Cable Guy, or showing characters, the dragon logo or anything that directly involves Mortal Kombat.

Ok people only 2 more left! I'll give out 2 clues for each of the remaining movies in order to speed up the process: In the first movie you can see someone playing an MK game, 2nd clue: Kids.
In the second movie you can hear someone mentioning the game's name, 2nd clue: Espionage. Good Luck guys! glasses

Can I try the full answer now, mr. CageFan21? I take it the movies don't have to be specifically the ones you sought for, and these two additions make strong references to the original Mortal Kombat series stories.
  • Subway (explained)
  • Hollywood references:
    • The Cable Guy (explained above)
    • 40 Year Old Virgin (explained above)
    • Wreck-It Ralph (explained above)
    • Billy Madison (explained above)
    • Mortal Kombat (self-explanatory)
    • Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (same thing)

  • Well played Sir! I guess I forgot to mention that the MK movies didn't count. Lol. Oh well seems that Zmoke got this one already. Although it would be fun if someone tried to guess what the other 2 movies were!

    Maybe because Sheeva was already given Scorpion's Animality first, and the game developers were running out of animals to think of for the rest of the animalities. Just like what they did with Reptile's Animality Lol !!!!! grin

    Your guess was as wild as Reptile in his truest chimpanzee form but unfortunately we are still seeking for the answer. A clue from Reptile:"Scorpion is not necessarily a Pittsburgh Penguins fan but there are other at least as proper reasons for Hanzo to transform into an actual penguin."

    It may not be one of the six you are thinking of, but "The Pacifier" starring Vin Diesel has a scene where one of the children he's babysitting is playing MK3.

    No cigar, but you are onto something already.

    I think you are the chosen one to solve this mystery.

    Because it's Daniel Pesina's fault for getting fired before MK3 was released, that's why no male ninjas were in MK3. Thus giving the best fatalities to the kombatants in MK3. And when John Turk made the role for the rest of the ninjas in UMK3, there weren't any more animality options for the recent included kombatants. That's why Sheeva is a scorpion when it clearly should have been Scorpion's animality, Shang Tsung has Reptile's, Rain is a miniature elephant, Ermac a frog, and so on and on.

    That is a very good analysis, mr. CageFan21, and it may be a part of why Scorpion is a penguin. But Scorpion could have been something else than a penguin after Sheeva took the bug's role, right? Like a pony or an ant.

    I will already give you this for the nice try and effort:

    Third hint: There are two cold poles on Earth. Certain animals dominate one pole, certain animals another. It's like Yin and Yang, rival and rival.

    Sub-Zero and Scorpioon are considered to be polar opposites, and while Polar Bears live one one pole, penguins live on the other, thus demonstrating the difference between Scorpion and Sub-Zero.
