Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge
2020
Leave it to the cartoon to be so much more violent than the live action films. This movie is gory as fuck. It opens in feudal Japan, where Hanzo - the man who would become Scorpion - returns home to find his entire village slaughtered. Later, he is manipulated into entering the Mortal Kombat tournament as the champion of a hellish realm. He doesn't care about the contest. He just wants revenge on the man he believes murdered his people.
He's not the only one there for revenge. Sonia Blade also enters to get her pound of flesh from contestant Kano, a mercenary who captured her partner. Others are there seeking fortune, fame, out of a sense of duty, or for duplicitous reasons. The tournament is basically a lawless killing spree with the existence of the losing realms at stake. Johnny Cage, a fading action star, seems to be the only one who is truly clueless to what is really going on (which Raiden finds amusing). Even watching a guy get his arms ripped up does not awaken him to the truth of his situation.
Anywho..there's a lot of grisly action and a subplot is revealed. Scorpion gets his revenge and the champion saved earth realm. Worth a watch.
