Brutality: The History of Mortal Kombat 4 and Other Media
Oops! Last ep was posted stating that we talked about Mortal Kombat 4 and we didn’t get to it. This time around it’s a shorter show, but Fred and Jam pack in the fourth and final arcade iteration along with MK’s transition into many other media including movies, television, and even music. There are a bunch of audio clips so we’re going to give credit where credit’s due in order of appearance:
- Goodbye (Demo Version) – Gravity Kills
- Burn – Sister Machine Gun
- Juke Joint Jezebel (Metropolis Mix) – KMFDM
- Lover – Lords of Acid
- Techno Syndrome (Mortal Kombat) – The Immortals
- Utah Saints Take On The Theme From Mortal Kombat – Utah Saints
- Halcyon and On and On – Orbital
- Fire – Scooter
- Meglomaniac – KMFDM
- Encounter the Ultimate (Theme From Mortal Kombat Annihilation) – The Immortals
Mercy: The History of MK3, UMK3, MK Trilogy, and Spin-Offs
Fred and Jam delve back into the history of Mortal Kombat with Mortal Kombat 3 and its many iterations including Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (UMK3) and Mortal Kombat Trilogy on consoles. Finally they reluctantly delve into the awful spin-offs of Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat: Special Forces.
Two Mortal Kombat Documentaries
As promised, below are two documentaries found on the bonus discs of premium editions of Deception and Armageddon. The first is a brief (only six minutes) documentary of the Mortal Kombat franchise, produced by Midway, and found on the Deception bonus disc along with an arcade port of the original arcade game by Digital Eclipse. The second is a much longer documentary on the history of the fatality and plenty of stories from the staff. This was also produced by Midway and included in the bonus disc of Armageddon along with another Digital Eclipse port of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Enjoy!
