Scorpion pulls off his classic Toasty Fatality, which also turns his mouth into charred bone.He hired Erron Black to assassinate the threat, and in return Tsung would teach Black the secrets to living for thousands of years. Centuries ago, Shang Tsung felt threatened by a potential challenger in the Mortal Kombat tournament. Outside of his feud with Scorpion, Sub-Zero’s villain status in this movie more closely matches the origin of Erron Black, the anachronistic Wild West gunslinger who first showed up in Mortal Kombat X.In the games, the murder of Scorpion’s family is the doing of Quan Chi, who uses the tragedy to manipulate Scorpion into his service. While Bi-Han is no saint, his killing of Hanzo is usually depicted as strictly business. That, and the depiction of Sub-Zero as pure evil. The big difference that sets this movie apart from the others is the fact that Hanzo existed centuries ago and not in the present. The version in this movie more closely resembles the events of the animated film Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge. Bi-Han killing Hanzo Hasashi has been depicted many times in Mortal Kombat media, though canonically in the game Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero.There are many deaths in the movie, but only Liu Kang announces, “Fatality,” like in the game.At least it’s used correctly here, unlike the original movie, where people would say, “Flawless victory,” in regards to fights where both sides took blows. When Kung Lao kills Nitara, he notes, “Flawless victory.” That’s what the announcers say in-game whenever someone has a perfect round.As it’s custom for the Mortal Kombat announcers to say who won each match, Kano takes care of this himself when he kills Reptile and smugly says, “Kano wins.”.Tobias said that the K was there just so they could trademark the term. Boon claimed that “Combat” was a workshopped name for the game and someone added a K to be weird.
