Mortal, meaning can die, and Kombat, meaning -well- to fight.
Shao Kahn, Shang Stung, GOro, Kintaro, Quan Shi, to name a few well know 'bad guys' in an epic game that has given birth to a whole new genre of computer gaming! Without it i would curl up into a little ball and weep...
A series of fighting games where the characters could spill an unbelievable amount of blood without without having any realistic wounds. Hmm.... I wonder why....
For those mortal kombat creators, the game is really cool but what's with the movies, man? You should hire another director or something.
