Whenever you are ready legoslayer10, test our minds...

Let us see...
In Mortal Kombat, every character has had at least one character-specific Fatality excpet these people. Name evry character who has never had their own Fatality (meanin MKA Kreate-a-Fatality doesn't count).

Well I know Jarek is one of them, I mean he literally stole Kano's heart rip fatality in MK4.

Eeh... I guess Jarek would count, considering he'snot had an ORIGINAL Fatality... but there's far more.

Wow, thanks! Ok let's see now.
Name 10 different movies that the creators of Mortal Kombat took inspiration from in order to make the games. (Storywise, characters, fatalities, etc) Please explain your answers!!!!!
Enter The Dragon (confirmed by the developers), Bloodsport (confirmed; JCVD's there), Big Trouble In Little China (confirmed; there is Raiden's cousin), the Star Wars saga ep. 1-6 (confirmed; Sidious seeks for eternal life like Shang Tsung) and Ghost Rider (see; Scorpion's Toasty! Fatality.)

1. Enter the Dragon (Correct Liu Kang was inspired on the legendary Bruce Lee, as the MK tournament itself on the movie's tournament being held on an island and everything)
2. Bloodsport (Correct Johnny Cage inspired on JCVD)
3. Big Trouble In Little China ( We all know that one, also Shang Tsung was inspired on the immortal sorcerer named Lo Pan)
4. Star Wars (Correct, also Shao Kahn was inspired on the evil emperor, as well as his helmet on Darth Vader's)
5. Woops! Sorry, the Ghost Rider movie doesn't count! Remember these are movies MK took inspiration from, not the other way around. Scorpion's Toasty Fatality has been around since the 1992 arcade game, way back before the Ghost Rider (2007) movie or it's sequel Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)
So you got 4/10 keep on trying, go for the 10!!!!

American Ninja had a character named Curtis Jackson, if I recall correctly. his character inspired Jax, who was going to be called Kurtis Stryker in MK1, before he was cut (Stryker did appear later, so I guess that was also inspired by the film).
The Terminator had a big red cyborg eye. This was a major inspiration for Kano's design, I think.

5. American Ninja (Indeed this is another direct inspiration for MK, Jax and Stryker's concept were taken from here)
6. The Terminator Saga (Correct this is another movie franchise Boon & Co. Took some inspiration from such as: Kano's metal head plate & laser eye implant obviously taken from Arnold's T-800, Jax's Arms Blade Fatality inspired by the T-1000 in T2: Judgement Day and of course Scorpion's thumbs up farewell in MKSM right before he is taken underneath the molten lava by the undead skeletons)
Great job guys, keep it up you're almost there!!! Only 4 movies left, can you guess which ones they are???

Ok to help you guys out with another movie, I'm going to give out a clue here goes: In one of the 6 movies already mentioned, stars a famous actor who is the main protagonist for another famous movie that lead to the inspiration of 3 MK characters and 2 fatalities. Can you guess what movie this is?

The Five Deadly Venoms inspired the costumes of Sub Zero and Scorpion. Scorpion probably got his name from it too
Speaking of which, Sub Zero got his name from Arnie Schwarzenegger's The Running Man.
And continuing on with him, Predator was the inspiration for the design of the robot ninjas' heads and hairstyles (and Cyrax's self destruct fatality)
Wasn't Kung Lao's MKII avatar a rip off of Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry? (the Deadpool also took its' name from another Eastwood film.)
The Ninja Turtles' Shredder was the inspiration for MKD Sub Zero's primary outfit
Cynthia Rothrock was the basis for Sonya Blade, so whatever early 90's movies she was in surely lent a hand
MKD's Kobra was a nod to the bully in the Karate Kid
And how about this one:
Mortal Kombat itself
Trevor Goddard's portrayl of Kano was so awesome, they changed his nationality to an Aussie for future games

Well done, krsx66, begin contemplating your question before the approval.

Since Google wasn't allowed, I thought that Ghost Rider likely had a movie before Cage's version, CageFan21, and I tried to pass the Star Wars saga as one big bundle. Anyway, it's nice to see someone else take it for once.Zmoke Wrote:

7. Predator (Correct this is another of the movies that lead to the direct inspiration of Sektor, Cyrax & Smoke, as well as Cyrax's self destruct fatality and Sub-zero's infamous spine rip fatality)
Ok regarding the other movies I'm not quite sure, cause I've never heard or read the developers got inspiration from these movies. But I'll give you credit cause they do make sense. So congrats!!! You're up next in Test Your Knowledge.
Oh! before I forget, just for MK educational purposes only, another pair of movies that MK got inspiration from are: Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom (Kano's Heart Rip Fatality based on the moment when Mola Ram takes the heart out of a dude's chest with his bare hands to be offered in sacrifice) and Live and Let Die: 007 (Kitana's Kiss Of Death Fatality based on Kananga's death)

I don't think Kung Lao served as any kind of nod to Clint Eastwood. The developers have never made any mention of that.
His hat, though, was inspired by James Bond villain Oddjob.

That is true, thank you for sharing that valuable comment with the rest of us!
We should create a MK-101 class with all this kind of info. Kids please take note!

Google "Kung Lao Clint Eastwood" and you'll see it's been mentioned around these boards for quite a long time.
As for a question...hmmm, gonna try and make it difficult:
The head motif design on the floor of the arena where Goro fights Art Lean in the MK movie can be seen somewhere else in the MK universe.
Where?

No, but that's a pretty good guess. I'll give a hint:
It can be seen in another stage/arena/fighting locale. However, not in one of the games...

Ok thanks for the hint. Perhaps the stage where Liu Kang fights Sub-zero in the MK movie?
