Plot:
- Silly person. There is no plot. You knew there was no plot. Were you foolish enough to expect one? There's some distraction about Liu Kang trying to avenge his brother's death via a huge, island-wide martial arts tournament. Enough plot for me...
Notes:
- Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade and Liu Kang tromping around, pretending to know where the special effects are coming from
