Mortal Kombat

“MMA fighter Cole Young seeks out Earth's greatest champions in order to stand against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe.”

The Mortal Kombat trailer we have all been waiting for is finally here, and it looks INTENSE!! I was born in 1984 (yes, I know I’m old), so to say that Mortal Kombat was a big part of my childhood would be an understatement. My friends and I would spend hours mastering the finishing moves, and when the cut scene for a move was triggered, we just watched in pure awe. It was a truly magical time.

The dream was always to have the movie version of the game and in 1995, that is exactly what we got. And to be honest, I really liked it. I mean the soundtrack got me all kinds of fired up, and still does to this day. But it was far from perfect. I mean first of all, it was rated PG-13 (yawnnnnnnnn). So for years now we have been itching for a R-rated movie that could truly embody what Mortal Kombat is, and well, that day is nearly here.

This new Mortal Kombat looks incredible, and has me feeling next-level nostalgic. I will be sitting in the movie theater day 1 for this, and it cannot come soon enough.

Mortal Kombat is set to hit theaters, IMAX, and HBO Max April 23rd. Watch the UNRATED trailer below.

Ted Takes Fun Facts, Mortal Kombat 11:

• First Mortal Kombat sequel in over 20 years (specifically, since Mortal Kombat 4) to be titled with just a number rather than a subtitle. While the previous entry was the tenth game in the mainline series, Mortal Kombat X, as a Roman numeral, does not count, as all of the marketing referred to the "X" as the letter, not "ten".
