Mortal Kombat 2/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Acting for Two: Dan Pesina returns as both Johnny Cage and the male ninjas once again, Richard Divizio plays Kano and Baraka (the former being a background cameo), and Katalin Zamiar plays the role of the female ninjas (all palette swaps).
  • The Cast Showoff: Like the first game, Liu Kang's non-fatal Fatality was one of Ho Sung Pak's trademark moves.
  • Name's the Same:
  • Romance on the Set: Ho-sung Pak (Liu Kang) and Katalin Zamiar (Kitana) dated while working on the game together and is part of the reason why their characters became lovers in later games and movies (ironically where they were played by other actors).
  • Urban Legend of Zelda: Too many to count, many of which would became Ascended Memes:
    • Animalities.
    • You could supposedly get Sonya, Ermac, and Kano.
    • Green Liu Kang, a/k/a "Hornbuckle", and Blaze, the guys you see fighting in the background of the Pit II.
  • What Could Have Been: So, so many:
    • Jax's original name was going to be Kurtis Stryker.
    • There were plans to have a character with hooked swords for Mortal Kombat II. Due to hardware limitations, he was modified to become Baraka. The design was modified again to become Kabal for Mortal Kombat 3.
    • Kintaro was originally going to be an anthropomorphic tiger, and a playable character in Mortal Kombat II. Due to budget constraints, they ended up making him a clone of Goro with tiger stripes instead.
