Mortal Kombat 3/Trivia: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* [[Acting for Two]]: Richard Divizio as Kano and Kabal, Sal Divita as Nightwolf and the robot ninjas, and John Turk as Shang Tsung and Sub-Zero. John Turk and Becky Gable both played all the masked ninjas in ''Ultimate'' as well.

* [[Ascended Fanon]]: Ermac was originally a bit of misunderstood text on a debug screen in ''MK''. Fans believed he was going to be a playable character. Midway took the playable bit and canonized it. Likewise, his palette (red) was merely a graphical error. The costume used to record the animations for the masked fighters in the original game was red and if the game couldn't load the right color, it would default to this. When he was made an official character, he was given that same red hue.

* [[He Also Did]]/[[Retroactive Recognition]]: One of the lead programmers for the PC/DOS ports of ''Mortal Kombat 3'' was Oren Peli, who would go on to produce/write/direct the original ''[[Paranormal Activity]]''.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: None of the actors from the previous two games returned except for Richard Divizio (Kano and Baraka), John Parrish (Jax), Tony Marquez (Kung Lao) and Brian Glynn (Shao Kahn). This led to half of the returning characters being played by new actors (Kerri Hoskins, Eddie Wong, John Turk) and is partly the reason why none of the masked ninjas were in the original ''MK3'' (since they were originally played by Dan Pesina).

** John Turk, who played the unmasked Sub-Zero and Shang Tsung, eventually got to play all the masked ninjas in ''Ultimate'' alongside Becky Gable, who replaced Katalin Zamiar as Kitana and the other female ninjas.
