Mortal Kombat II hits theaters later this week, and Warner Bros. has released another clip featuring an epic showdown between Liu Kang and Kung Lao.
Mild spoilers follow.
As any fan of the video games will surely be aware, these two are (or were) close friends, but Lao is killed before the events of the movie. The necromancer Quan Chi resurrects the heroic Shaolin Monk, and he ultimately winds up fighting for Outworld in the tournament.
This clip doesn't actually show the entire sequence, which is significantly longer.
Check out the preview at the link below, along with a new behind-the-scenes featurette and TV spot, and let us know what you think.
