MORTAL KOMBAT: DEATHRIGHT

The next Mortal Kombat will decide the fate of Earthrealm! Scorpion, consumed by his past, is faced with an impossible decision before this tournament.
MORTAL KOMBAT: DEATHRIGHT is a self funded, non profit short film. This was put together by an incredibly small crew who loves MK, and would like to make other short films based on various properties. Deathright is our love letter to the 90s era of Mortal Kombat (games, movies, comics), as well as 80s/90s action films. I hope everyone has as much fun with it as we had making it. Thank you for all of the support!

Of course we would take everything we learned, and do even better next time around. We hear you, and thank you for all the love and encouraging criticisms. 🤟 Mortal Kombat forever, baby.

[@raygunn4392]

Because the real talent isn’t in Hollywood. This production is proof of that. 🐉

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Money doesn’t equal good work. Passion and love of what you make always end up with a greater product. Give these people half a Hollywood budget, stunt crew, and decent writing team and they would make a film better than what Hollywood would deliver.

[@cameronlamb5430]

Boys this is outstanding. You clearly understand all the fundamentals of creating a passionate fight scene. I wish Hollywood had more of your confidence in terms of how you create your shots. The costume design is also on point. It’s clear a high level of effort and passion went into this. You already have so many of the skills necessary to make something great. Keep pursuing these skills and advancing on them. Faster fight choreography and more tightness and control of the camera. There’s always room for improvement and it’s hard to criticise work that comes from the heart that already gets so much right. So I’ll just say don’t stop.

[@rampagephoenix1735]

1. The costumes look great! Scorpion looks frightening, as he should. 2. The Fight choreography was pretty decent; Not over the top, but pretty good nonetheless. 3. The fight music was very much a throwback to 90's techno, fitting for Mortal Kombat. Overall, well done! Perhaps for a future video, I would like to see Scorpion hunting down Sub Zero's fellow Lin Quei, Jason Voorhees style.

[@mikewhocheeseharry5292]

I think they should slightly speed up the fight shots because it looks too cosplay also they didn’t edit the camera angles when taking hits because we can see how far apart the punches and kicks. I like the costume and look of the film though

[@MortalKombatVita]

Extremely well made for an indie short. This is proof that WB should let fans have some kontrol over the franchise direction. Hell, let's get Boon and Tobias back together again developing again for the series as they did in the glory days.

[@c.j.johnson2535]

It's funny how Sub-Zero found that random stick and popped Scorpion upside the head with it. No marital arts included. 😆🤣🤳🏽

[@myluciddesign]

As much as I love fan films, and as endearing as they can be, they almost always have that inevitable “cheese” factor that comes from being low budget, having inexperienced actors, poor special effects & costume design.. so I always enter into watching them with a degree of skepticism. In this case, I’m almost GLAD I went in with low expectations, because this was genuinely incredible from start to finish. The writing was excellent, leaving just enough of a sense of foreboding that you truly feel there’s something BIGGER to come. The special effects work and the Direction/Choreography that ALLOWED for it, were top notch and perhaps among the best I’ve ever seen in a fan film (ESPECIALLY the ice effects, WOW). Somehow this hit marks that the recent MK film nor the original 90’s film could even hit properly. It left me wanting more and wishing HBO would greenlight you on a full series with a bigger budget. You should be very proud.

[@MysteryBoxProductions]

That is very kind of you. Thank you so much, and we are glad you and so many others were able to enjoy this! 🤟

Jesus Christ. Normally Bi-Han and Hanzo were on equal ground, but for most of the fight Bi-Han was dominating. I was shocked to see SubZero wrecking Scorpion. Good fight. Raiden always being kept in the dark with his face was a great touch too by the way. No one ever shows this fight, but I would like to see The Great Kung Lao vs Goro. I am wondering if it was a fatality or brutality that caused Lao’s defeat

[@xw33b36]

to be fair though scorpian was holding back due to raidens deal/promise. wasn't until subzero mentioned his son that he started trying and by then he was already in rough shape from the beat down.

[@maxdam4059]

Well in the og timeline Bi-han was far superior than Hanzo in mk mythos he has beaten him twice first time when scorpion was human and sub-zero had to kill him because he had no choice and secondly when both of them were in the NetherRealm but in MK1 the one from 1992 the only reason scorpion killed sub zero not because they were competing but instead because they were on the same side even through not for long scorption was plotting to kill Bi-han while Bi-han was plotting to kill Shang Tsung scorpion sneaked on sub zero and killed him by ambushing him when liu kang was defeating shang tsung

[@peterversionone]

@@maxdam4059 I remember in the OG timeline Sub-Zero was dangerous, but wasn’t Scorpion just as dangerous, they knew of each other by reputation even before Quan Chi hired both of them, and Scorpion when it came to fight skills I thought was just as vicious. Sub-Zero(Bi-Han)was more ruthless which I thought gave him an edge, but still, this fight, Scorpion got wrecked and I did not see that coming. Maybe that is why when Bi became Noob, he was a more dangerous specter than Scorpion. He was just better

[@peterversionone]

@@xw33b36 didn’t Quan-Chi kill his wife and son?
