Loved this documentary. It tells the whole story of how Mortal Kombat as a franchise began. It also explains the origins and shows off many of the characters throughout like Scorpion and Kitana. They even show Scorpions fatalities and Kitanas babalities. It's a great film for MK fans who enjoy documentary films.
A very well made documentary following the history of Mortal Kombat while showing off its characters like Liu Kang, Johnny, Scorpion and Kitana. It's definitely worth checking out if you are a fan of the franchise.
