Cruel fighting The Game arrives in Japan while remaining faithful to the original work

Approximately 30 years have passed since the series was born. The legendary fighting The Game has arrived in Japan in a form that is faithful to its worldview. This is the movie version of the fighting The Game``Mortal Kombat,'' which boasts the highest sales worldwide, surpassing ``Street Fighter'' and ``Tekken.''

``Mortal Kombat,'' which has become a social phenomenon in popularity around the world, is unfortunately unable to be released in Japan due to its extremely cruel depictions. However, the movie version of ``Mortal Kombat'' (21) is an entertaining work that allows you to thoroughly enjoy the intense fights, grotesque depictions of destruction, and charming characters. The real thrill of being able to experience it in an environment unique to IMAX® is especially special.

“Mortal Kombat” preview

How did the production team turn one of the world's best fighting The Game into a live-action movie? The odds of success were determined by the fact that ``the appeal of The Game lies in the characters and action.'' Drawing on the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, known for the Avengers series, we focused on how to make the many characters shine, and we applied ingenuity to the cruel expressions that characterize The Game so that it could be released in theaters. However, I faced the challenge head on. As a result, it was rated R in the United States and R15+ in Japan, so its extremeness is guaranteed.

The reason why ``Mortal Kombat'' is easy to recommend to audiences who are not familiar with the original work is because it is structured so that even people with no prior preparation can easily absorb the setting. The main character, Cole Young, is an original character from the movie and is a former mixed martial arts (MMA) champion. One day, Cole learns that his life is being targeted by assassins sent from the demon world, and that the reason is a birthmark on his chest. In order to protect his family, Cole throws himself into the battle against the demon world with his friends...
