Traci Lords - Control

[@cluelesssimmer5856]

Back in 1995 when a classmate brougt a VHS rental of Mortal Kombat over to my house and we were like: "Wow, that opening theme....so cool...Wow, Scorpion and Sub-Zero!!! Doesn't get any cooler..." Until that song started and we heard someone say REPTIIILE!!! O.O 11 year old me was done.

[@Choji2011]

Anyone else notice that reptile was hidden till kang decided to grab him then as soon as he is tossed into that corpse thing he got a body then the reptile line pops up and then cue song? That had to have been an unlocking reptile fight easter egg or reference
