Remember your first haduoken? Your first spinning bird kick? What about your first fatality? Remember when the games got old and you had to blow into the cartridge?

Mortal Kombat Rebirth

Director, Kevin Tancharoen, with the help of screen-writer, Oren Uziel, has released this 8 minute short film showcasing a revamped storyline for the famous Mortal Kombat franchise. Tancharoen has stripped the franchise of it's fantasy based roots and given the characters a more reality based/sci-fi make-over, focusing the storyline around Agents Jackson Briggs and Sonja Blade as they work to infiltrate the Mortal Kombat tournament and hunt down a cadre of violent murderers who've turned their city of Deacon upside down. The fight scenes, done by Larnell Stovall, are amazing and the short itself is a down-right intriguing concept (despite a pretty gross scene involving a refrigerator and a detached body part). I'm hoping this actually gets turned into a full-length movie.
