The One Where Johnny Cage dies.Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is the second film based on the Mortal Kombat franchise. It incorporates characters and plot details from the series' first four games with a heavy emphasis on Mortal Kombat 3.After the events of the first film, Liu Kang (Robin Shou) won Mortal Kombat for Earthrealm and broke Outworld's streak of consecutive tournament victories...and yet, Shao Kahn (Brian Thompson) — the Emperor of Outworld — has somehow managed to begin Outworld's invasion anyway.While Raiden (James Remar) confronts the Elder Gods over Kahn's invasion, Liu Kang undergoes specialized training in order to face Shao Kahn (who has far more power than Shang Tsung ever did), and Sonya Blade (Sandra Hess) reunites with her partner Jackson "Jax" Briggs (Lynn Williams) to help him fight various Outworld warriors as they arrive on Earth.Shao Kahn's Outworld forces outnumber and overpower Earthrealm's, however, and it will take every ounce of skill and power Earth's heroes have to drive back the invasion and defeat Shao Kahn once and for all. | |

This Was His True Form: After being beaten at the end, Shao Kahn's body devolves into a living version of the dragon crest tattoo that is his family's crest, which then blinks out of existence just like the fake crests used by his minions. | |

| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Shao Kahn, who unexpectedly takes Sonya hostage during the opening battle of the movie and then afterwards kills Johnny Cage after the latter had tried to rescue and save her from him, making it quite clear that Shao Kahn cannot defeat Raiden fairly in a fight and that he has to resort to cowardly tactics in order to get the job done. | |

| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_1cc527d7 | comment |
Asskicking Leads to Leadership: This is the law of the land in Outworld, so much so that Shao Kahn's generals Motaro and Sheeva are identified in their character bios as the leaders of their respective races. And then there's Shao Kahn who rules solely by power and fear. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Jade. In the games, she is Kitana's best bud and genuinely always serves her best interest. Here, she more or less acts like Tanya: a complete traitor. Cyrax is a sort of retroactive case. Here, he's a minion of evil, serving under Shao Kahn rather than the Lin Kuei, while in the games he isn't established as one of the good guys until Mortal Kombat Gold. Smoke is usually in the Heel–Face Revolving Door due to being controlled by villains. Here he is killed off by Sub-Zero before he even has a chance at being a good guy. Scorpion is a strange case. In the games, he is something of a Wild Card, having no affiliation with either the heroes or the villains, but solely pursuing his own goals, though he would become more heroic as the series progressed. In the first film, he is a henchman of Shang Tsung, but is expressly identified as having been enslaved into this state. In this film, he, by all intents and purposes, is working for Outworld again, kidnapping Princess Kitana and delivering her to Shao Kahn, after which he's not seen again. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Quite a few, owing to the film's rushed nature. The first draft of the script had an entire subplot setup for Kurtis Stryker and Kabal, detailing what happened to them after being captured by Rain.note They were going to be prisoners together in a cobalt mine overseen by Baraka; incidentally Kitana was going to be held captive in this same prison, rather than the palace as she was in the final draft. This subplot is cut in the final version, turning Stryker and Kabal effectively into plot mice. Also notable is Sheeva, who in early drafts (and the novelization) accompanies Sindel when she attacks the heroes in Outworld (befitting her role as Sindel's protector) and is killed in battle with Raiden. In the film, she meets her demise after having a cage dropped on her. Finally, Baraka was a more fleshed-out character in earlier scripts, being the warden of the prison that was cut from the final version rather than just another slavering bad guy attacking the heroes out of nowhere. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Shao Kahn, who seems to enjoy killing off his minions if they do so much as sneeze. Even in the final battle, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever why he doesn't simply use his armies to overpower the heroes like he did at the start of the movie. Shinnok even lampshades one moment of Kahn's stupidity when he leaves Raiden alive instead of killing him outright when he had the heroes sorely outnumbered: | |

Stronger Sibling: Raiden is established as this, with the late revelation that he was pitted against his brother Shao Kahn long ago and was able to beat Kahn, though his brotherly compassion kept him from being able to kill him. This status has not changed in the present day, at least not until Raiden is depowered. | |

Enigmatic Minion | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_2f074524 | comment |
Enigmatic Minion: Ermac, rather fittingly, is this, if only as a consequence of being yet another Flat Character. In the games, he is a gestalt entity comprised of the souls of thousands of Shao Kahn's victims from the latter's conquest of Edenia, and was then brainwashed into working for the emperor. Here, Ermac serves Kahn just as in the games, but there is no indication whether he does so out of More than Mind Control or if he is truly evil here. He is notably not depicted as particularly malevolent (or benevolent), and if anything seems to be a Punch-Clock Villain, which makes him stand out amidst all the Ax-Crazy types Kahn otherwise surrounds himself with.note In the film's novelization, Ermac is described in the opening scene of Outworld's invasion as "the only one of [Kahn's entourage] who did not seem to be enjoying his master's haughty performance." In the final battle, Noob Saibot spawns from his chest, which just raises further questions... though they don't particularly matter as Sonya quickly kills him off regardless. | |

Older Than They Look: Nightwolf, though you'd either have to read the novelization or the characters bios on the DVD to know it. While the body Nightwolf inhabits is that of a young man, Nightwolf himself is identified as an ancient guardian of his people, presumably passing from one warrior to the next over the years. | |

Degraded Boss: Reptile. In the first film, he is the last and toughest of the ninja opponents, ambushing Liu Kang in Outworld and giving him one of the most dynamic fights in the whole movie. Here, he himself doesn't appear, due to being Killed Off for Real, but a trio of Mooks with his distinctive appearance (called "Raptors") show up to fight Raiden alongside Sindel and quickly get their clocks cleaned. | |

| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_3d5c5deb | comment |
Flat Character: Plenty. The first movie wasn't exactly high on character development, but this movie had Smoke (showed up with no introduction and lost his fight), Ermac (stood around and did nothing until the end, then lost his fight), Mileena (showed up out of nowhere, lost her fight), Rain (killed off so quickly his appearance was more of a cameo)... this movie had a problem with forcing characters in for no real reason other than to have them. | |

You Have Failed Me: Rain tells Shao Kahn that Outworld's forces captured two fighters (Kabal and Stryker) without making them beg for their lives before killing them. Kahn shows his displeasure by hitting Rain with a giant hammer and knocking him into some sort of Hell Well. Jade, Kahn's mole in the ranks of the heroes, gets it even worse. She leads the heroes into a trap, but then Sindel fails to kill anyone, so Kahn feeds Jade to a monster carving in the wall, which gives out a great big burp when it's done with her. Subverted in the novelization by Shinnok, who tells his Ax-Crazy son not to Shoot the Messenger. | |

Villain Forgot to Level Grind: Though the movie does not state this, it is indirectly implied that this is the reason behind Shao Kahn's defeat: being an ageless warlord with Immortal Immaturity, it has been eons since Kahn last had a fight with anyone on his level, and he has long since gotten used to crushing anyone who challenges him with raw strength, having nothing to fear from any opponent thanks to his immortality. When said immortality is taken from him by the Elder Gods, he is rendered utterly demoralized, allowing Liu Kang to dominate and ultimately defeat him. | |

Smug Snake | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_4f84cdef | comment |
Smug Snake: Shao Kahn's total overconfidence, which Shinnok warns him about (and is expressly identified as his only weakness in his bio on the DVD), and near-absolute contempt for everything and everyone that is not himself or his father, turns him into one of these. Being an immortal Physical God warlord, Kahn has an utter lack of understanding of the human capacity for Heroic Willpower. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Shao Kahn offs Rain for not making Stryker and Kabal beg for their lives and/or killing them. After their little ruse fails, Jade and Sindel make a tactically correct move by retreating from a force they could not defeat on their own. Shao Kahn then basically kills Jade for not failing. | |

Happy Ending Override | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_53c5f30e | comment |
Happy Ending Override: The first film closed with our heroes defeating Shang Tsung and winning Mortal Kombat, greeting the appearing Shao Kahn with a cocky, "Who cares? We're gonna kick your ass!" attitude and Ass Kicking Pose. Here, Shao Kahn's arrival is treated as a major deal, all the heroes are scared, Raiden starts losing his powers, and Johnny Cage is killed off in the first few minutes. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |

Adaptational Attractiveness: In the games, Shao Kahn's face is hideous under that helmet of his.note Although Mortal Kombat 11 is the only game to properly show his face, it's implied that it's always been as it was, give or take some design complexities. Here, he looks like a normal man without the helmet. | |

Adaptational Modesty: Shao Kahn's outfit in the movie shows far less skin that the one he wears in the game.

Jax wears a sleeveless jacket over his shirtless torso for most of the movie though he discards it in the final act. | |

| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_590e787c | comment |
Masked Villains, Unmasked Heroes: Downplayed somewhat. Shao Kahn wears his iconic helmet from the games but only does so twice. The only heroic character in the film who wears a mask is the new Sub-Zero who appears for about eight minutes before disappearing. Some of Kahn's minions — Scorpion, Rain, and Ermac — also wear masks. | |

Pragmatic Villainy: In stark contrast to Shao Kahn, Shinnok has little use for Cartoonish Supervillainy, and would easily be the film's Knight of Cerebus if he was not bound from acting by the rules and limits of his position as an Elder God. Near the end of the film, when it becomes clear that Kahn is going to lose, he sneers at his sniveling son "Must I do everything for you?!" and prepares to use his godlike power to dispatch Liu Kang himself, wasting no time with threats or boasts as his son would. Only the timely arrival of the Elder Gods saves Liu Kang. | |

Spinning Out of Here: Queen Sindel literally dances in a circle, Wonder Woman-style, to teleport. This comes into play with the "Velospheres", man-sized hollow metal balls that the heroes make use of early in the film. They are propelled through a series of tunnels in the Earth by volcanic gases, and allow their users to travel across the planet in a matter of hours: | |

Forgot About His Powers | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_650a309b | comment |
Forgot About His Powers: At the beginning of the film, when Shao Kahn was holding Johnny Cage hostage, Raiden revealed he had the ability to restrain and kill all of Shao Kahn's forces at once. Despite this, not only did he acquiesce to Kahn's demand that he beg for Johnny Cage's life, but when Kahn kills Cage regardless, Raiden retreats instead of using his powers on Kahn's army. Shao Kahn, who seems to enjoy killing off his minions if they do so much as sneeze. Even in the final battle, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever why he doesn't simply use his armies to overpower the heroes like he did at the start of the movie. Shinnok even lampshades one moment of Kahn's stupidity when he leaves Raiden alive instead of killing him outright when he had the heroes sorely outnumbered: | |

Brought Down to Normal | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: Jax's cybernetics were damaged in his fight at the end. In reality, they never seemed to give him that big of an advantage in the first place. Still, he manages to hand Motaro's ass to him with his normal arms. Raiden suffers this over the course of the film, first from the merger of Earthrealm and Outworld weakening him, and later when he sacrifices his immortality to the Elder Gods in exchange for being allowed to help the heroes resist Shao Kahn. Shao Kahn gets hit with this midway through the final battle, as punishment for breaking the rules of Mortal Kombat. | |

Villain Killer: Between this movie and the previous one, Liu Kang has the highest on-screen body count among the heroes. He killed Sub-Zero, Reptile and Shang Tsung in the first movie, and in this one he kills Baraka and Shao Kahn. Sonya has killed the second largest amount of villains after Liu Kang. She killed Kano in the previous film, and in this movie kills Cyrax, Ermac and Mileena. | |

When she's playing evil (not just after she reveals her allegiance to Shao Kahn, but also when she fights Liu Kang for the first time), she has her hair completely combed backwards and tied in a bun. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Nightwolf's "test" involves three stages. We only see the first one and never get an explanation of what they are, though in the novel the final test is identified as Liu finally overcoming his self-doubt and facing Shao Kahn in the final battle. One of the major criticisms of the movie involved characters simply disappearing after their allotted scenes. Sub-Zero disappears after his fight with Scorpion, who disappears after capturing Kitana. Nightwolf doesn't show up again either despite the story seeming to position him as a major character. Due to their subplot being cut, Stryker and Kabal are both this as well, with neither character appearing though they are identified as having been captured and not killed. | |

Wild Card | |

Scorpion is a strange case. In the games, he is something of a Wild Card, having no affiliation with either the heroes or the villains, but solely pursuing his own goals, though he would become more heroic as the series progressed. In the first film, he is a henchman of Shang Tsung, but is expressly identified as having been enslaved into this state. In this film, he, by all intents and purposes, is working for Outworld again, kidnapping Princess Kitana and delivering her to Shao Kahn, after which he's not seen again. | |

Took a Level in Badass: In the first movie, Sonya beat up some mooks, got smacked around by Kano after he was told to go easy on her, eventually managing to get her legs around his neck and kill him via a Neck Snap, and then was dragged off by Shang Tsung to give the guys someone to rescue. In this movie, she kills Cyrax, Mileena, Ermac, and a whole bunch of mooks. A definite upgrade. | |

For the Evulz: You'd be forgiven for thinking the Lin Kuei ninja clan were Adapted Out; as it turns out they were not (something only mentioned in the DVD character bios), but willingly allied themselves with Outworld for...reasons? This is the motivation of Shinnok, who has near-unlimited power as an Elder God yet wants even more power by proxy through Shao Kahn. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: Shao Kahn. In the games, he's a genuinely terrifying threat, as he serves as the first Greater-Scope Villain in the series. Here, he's little more than a very physically capable Psychopathic Manchild, and his Daddy Issues with Shinnok are emphasized to the point of making him more pathetic to viewers than fearsome. Stryker and Kabal. In the games they are both among the most powerful Earthrealm combatants, but are Adapted Out here, only warranting a single mention as having been captured by Rain. Speaking of... Rain. In the games he is a formidable ninja, established from the start as an Edenian of powerful lineage (first the son of an Edenian general, later revealed to be an Edenian demigod). Here, although he is established as Shao Kahn's general and thus of higher rank than Sheeva, Motaro and Ermac, he is dispatched by his master with a single blow. | |

Flexible Tourney Rules: The tourney rules are well and truly screwed and Shao Kahn invades directly without so much as setting up a tournament at all. As Nightwolf says to Liu Kang, "The Tournament had rules. This time, anything goes." The Elder Gods spring a trap by stripping away Kahn's immortality when he least expects it, allowing Liu Kang to destroy him for good. | |

Jade, Kahn's mole in the ranks of the heroes, gets it even worse. She leads the heroes into a trap, but then Sindel fails to kill anyone, so Kahn feeds Jade to a monster carving in the wall, which gives out a great big burp when it's done with her. | |

And the third, was that he didn't know about Johnny or his death. The latter of which sparked some jealousy: | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Mortal Kombat: Annihilation / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Jax essentially serves the same role in this film that the now deceased Johnny had served in the previous one: Like Johnny, Jax is the comic relief character who is bewildered by all the weird supernatural stuff happening around him. Both Jax and Johnny have insecurities that they mask with a facade of bravado and humor. Johnny's tendency to rush into fights without thinking was attributed to his fears that deep down he was a fake as his critics accused him of and Jax's reliance on his cybernetic enhancers is attributed to a lack of confidence in his own skills. Sonya's dialogue even implies this is not the first time Jax has dabbled with body augmentation. Both Jax and Johnny try to reach out to Sonya who is standoffish and refusing to rely on others for help due to the death of someone close to her. The first movie seemed to imply that Sonya was the way she was because of Kano killing her partner, while her jerkass behavior towards Jax in this film is clearly attributed to her grief over Johnny's death. Jax, like Johnny, seems to have some attraction to Sonya. He makes a joke about her looking good in mud and his "Who the hell is Johnny?" line could be interpreted as jealousy. Like Johnny, Jax's arc climaxes in him defeating a character who was a sub-boss in the games. Jax even delivers a Groin Attack to Motaro just as Johnny did to Goro. Jax even makes a comment referencing being picked on in high school just as Johnny did in the previous movie. | |
