Спойлеры сюжета нового фильма Mortal Kombat

Film opens during the height of the Roman Empire as gladiators duel to the death, we see Raiden by Emperor Titus' side overlooking the fight, he appears quite indifferent and somewhat evil.
We are thrown into Japan where Hanzo is attacked by the Lin Kuei, here we see a mask-less, young Bi-Han kill Hanzo and his family.
Cut to Modern day as we meet Cole.
Cole is a MMA fighter who has a bad life, the only things he has is his daughter and this strange birthmake, Jax arrests Cole for his safety and fills him in as his life might be in danger, Sub-Zero intercepts Jax and his Special Forces and annilihates them, crushing Jax's arms, Cole escapes.
Cole meets up with Sonya who is ex-SF and her mercenary bodyguard, Kano, exposition on Mortal Kombat's legacy and what the "birthmarks" mean, there they are attacked by Reptile who attempts to kill them, Reptile scars Kano and Kano rips Reptiles' heart out.
Raiden recruits the three along with Jax to fight in the tournament, Shang Tsung has been killing off people who have the birthmark and is it is an invitation to the tournament for Shao Kahn.
They meet Liu Kang and Kung Lao along the way.
To enter into Outworld, they have to do a halo drop from co-ordinates above China.
As they do so they are attacked by Rain who is able to manifest and disappear during their drop.
The Earth's fighters end up training to harness their "chi" which allows them to have superhuman abilities, all the fighters end up with their classic superpowers, Kang with fire, Kano is able to shoot a red beam of energy from his eye, Sonya is able to shoot rings from her wrist however Cole can't do shit and wonders why he is even there in the first place.
The tournament starts and it's very loose, Kabal makes an appearance versus Liu Kang, some other obscure Mortal Kombat characters also fight in the tournament representing Outworld.
Third act involves an all-out battle royal and here we see Goro who ends up fucking everyone up.
Goro is so boss and Kano is seemingly killed in this battle and Sonya is able to take his place, Cole ends up fighting Goro as the other fighters take on Sub-Zero and Mileena, Kano and Kung Lao are killed, and with the fate of the World on the brink of extinction, he remembers his daughter.
Cole finds his "chi" superpower and throws out a spear that is like organic-like/appears to be made of sand (he has two on both arms) and the spear pierces Goro's head.
Seems like Earth has won until it's revealed that Cole's father is Scorpion and Scorpion is originally from Outworld therefore the victory counts towards Outworld.
However Shang is called on his bullshit and Raiden states that Cole represents Earth as the fighters escape to Earth.
Shang sends in his hitsquad to kill the winners in anger and Sub-Zero heads to Earth to finish the job.
Sub-Zero attempts to kill Cole but is interrupted by Scorpion, they both kill Sub-Zero and Shang Tsung manages to take Sub-Zero's "lifeless" body back to Outworld.
We see that the tournament has been won by Earth but these events set up a sequel.
Post Credit Scene: We see why Johnny Cage wasn't in this film as it's revealed that Cole has taken his place, they head to Johnny Cage's trailer with Raiden as the film fades out.

Бывшая модель и актриса Керри Хоскинс, подарившая свою внешность Соне Блейд в Mortal Kombat 3 и принявшая участие в сессиях по захвату движений для героини, спустя 25 лет вновь примерила на себя костюм культовой боевой девушки, который сделал ее известной в геймерском сообществе.Снимком 50-летняя Хоскинс поделилась с поклонниками в Instagram, вызвав настоящую бурю восторга.

«После 25 лет и множества просьб... я, наконец, снова надела костюм. Вот так выглядит Соня в 50», - написала Керри Хоскинс, пообещав в дальнейшем выкладывать новые снимки.

24 года спустя. Постаревшие Лю Кенг и Джонни Кейдж сразились на аркадных автоматах

Издание Hollywood Reporter выпустило на YouTube крайне любопытный материал. Журналисты пригласили в гости Робина Шу и Линдена Эшби, исполнивших в легендарной экранизации «Смертельной битвы» 1995 года роли Лю Кенга и Джонни Кейджа, чтобы сыграть с ними в Mortal Kombat на аркадном автомате. И, разумеется, поболтать о том о сём.

Оказывается, актёры хороши не только на экране, но и в жизни: они с лёгкостью одолели журналиста и сыграли вничью друг с другом. Конечно, сражению в файтинге посвящена малая доля хронометража ролика: гораздо больше времени авторы уделили беседе со звёздами. Шу и Эшби в очень тёплых тонах отозвались о работе над культовой картиной, а также признались, что сейчас поддерживают дружескую связь.
