comment |
Mythology Gag: A flashback of Johnny being bullied in school before learning martial arts is a reference to Mortal Kombat: The Movie where Johnny compared being in Outworld to being back in high school. Master Boyd, an original character from that movie, also appears in those flashbacks as Johnny's sensei. In the climax of the movie, Johnny defeats Shinnok by awakening his latent green energy powers. |

Hidden Depths: As cocky and egotistical as Johnny comes across, it's established almost from the onset that he genuinely loves acting, takes martial arts seriously and is rather empathetic beneath the facade. This also means a deep-seated hatred for bullies, whether they be schoolyard ones or the demonic kind. |

Adaptational Early Appearance: Compared to the Midway continuity, Ashrah appears far earlier than she did originally - before the first Mortal Kombat tournament takes place. Ditto for Shinnok himself. The fallen Elder God hadn't escaped from Netherrealm until Mortal Kombat 4; here, he was successfully brought to Earthrealm courtesy of the ritual - and gets to fight the titular hero. |

The '80s: The movie drips with the aesthetics of the decade — mullets, synth music, neon pinks and blues, to name a few. Even the X-ray close ups have a rainbow filter! |

Precision F-Strike: Nearly every sentence that comes out of David Doubldy's mouth is this. Lampshaded; when negotiating a new movie deal, Johnny has to repeat a statement towards him while including one. |

Shout-Out |
| | Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: Young Johnny's bullies appear to be Peter, Ray, and Egon. David Doubldy uttering profanities in his demonic form harkens back to Violator putting Spawn in his place by uttering the memorable "Get with the fucking program" line. The cover that documents Johnny's eventual fall from grace is one towards David Hasselhoff's drunkingly eating a burger while berating his daughter. |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? |

comment |
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Johnny manages to defeat the fallen Elder God Shinnok, though like the games it's due to his special bloodline. He also doesn't flat out kill or even knock Shinnok out, just knock him back throug the Netherealm portal. |

Lighter and Softer |
| | Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match / int_ce6555f0 |
comment |
Lighter and Softer: Compared to the previous Legends movies, Cage Match is this in tone, with more humor due to Johnny being the main protagonist and its brighter 1980s Los Angeles setting. In addition, while still Bloodier and Gorier than other Mortal Kombat adaptations, there are much less on-screen deaths at show this time around. |

comment |
Writing Around Trademarks: The big name director attached to the film Johnny's especially interested in auditioning for has his name bleeped anytime it's spoken out loud; Johnny's narration about his ability to alternate between summer blockbusters and Oscar winners implies it's supposed to be Steven Spielberg. Johnny also mentions "partying like it's 1999" but stops before he can namedrop the artist who wrote it. |

Hollywood Satanism |
| | Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match / int_e390612a |
comment |
Hollywood Satanism: Parodied. As it turns out, many in Hollywood are part of a cult set up by demons from the Netherrealm. While originally intended to pave the way for Shinnok's conquest of Earthrealm, most of said demons were largely content with corrupting show-business, at least until Jennifer/Sareena found the means to summon him. Johnny does think they're actual Satanists before being corrected. |
