Oh … oh my. Oh my word. The Mortal Kombat series - and Mortal Kombat X in particular - features some pretty graphic violence with over-the-top X-Ray attacks and vicious fatalities, but there's a reason these things should exist only in video game land; seeing them in real life is enough to make you more than a little queasy. Still, if you think you've got the stomach for it, YouTube channel RackaRacka has crafted a video showing what some realistic fatalities would look like:
Props to the filmmakers for their great special and practical effects, as well as camera work that perfectly captures the brutality of Mortal Kombat. The humor throughout ("I'll fatality you bro!") and creativity in their kills was also admirable. Personally, I quite enjoyed the "man gets beat to death with his own entrails." Anyway, enjoy your lunch!
