While some of the special effects don\u2019t quite mesh and the tonal inconsistencies can be jarring, when\u00a0<em>Mortal Kombat\u00a0<\/em>get something right, it really nails it. Warner Brothers released a 20-minute featurette,\u00a0<strong><em>From <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a> to Screen: The Making of Mortal Kombat<\/em><\/strong>, that takes a deep dive into just how they made the video game come to life. What\u2019s clear is that the people who made the movie\u00a0<em>really<\/em> love the video games, and this was a project of pure passion. The cast and crew dug deep to share some great behind-the-scenes tidbits about the costumes, locations, and special effects that made the world feel more real.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-684241 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/shangtsunconceptart-700x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/shangtsunconceptart.jpg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/shangtsunconceptart-360x154.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_the_Costumes\"><\/span>Creating the Costumes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post -->Costume designer\u00a0<strong>C<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>i Ireland<\/strong> said that it was important to make the fantastical costumes have a basis in a grittier reality.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe used real textures, real fabrics, real earthy cottons and leathers and metals, nothing too shiny and new, nothing too superheroey,\u201d she explains as she shows off rows and rows of fabrics and costumes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Quite a bit of thought went into each of the costumes, from Sub-Zero\u2019s wild looking cowl to Scorpion\u2019s samurai-style armor. Sub-Zero was the first costume design they developed, and they wanted his hood and neckpiece to look almost organic, like sinewy muscles. His armor was based on a traditional Chinese armor pattern. In fact, quite a few of the armor pieces for various characters were based on Chinese and Korean armor. Scorpion, however, was based more directly on Japanese samurai. The spikes on the chest-piece of his armor are actually made from the digging claws his family are using at the beginning of the film!<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of little Easter eggs hidden in the costumes. They wanted to make Kano more realistic, since he comes from our world, so they removed the giant glowing chest-piece from the video games and replaced it with an\u00a0ouroboros, or a snake eating its own tail, on his chest belt. Perhaps the best secret? The button combinations for all of Kabal\u2019s special moves in the Playstation games are on the top of his helmet, in tiny print.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-684239 aligncenter\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/quarry-700x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/quarry.jpg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/quarry-360x154.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_Location_Locations\"><\/span>Location, Location, Locations!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most impressive things in\u00a0<em>Mortal Kombat<\/em> is the sense of scale. There are some absolutely massive locations where the action takes place, with loads of detail. This was achieved by shooting on location instead of a soundstage.<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 -->Director\u00a0<strong>Simon McQuoid<\/strong> told his crew to go out and find him the biggest, most epic locations they could in South Austrailia, and they delivered. They ended up shooting at the Leigh Creek coal mine for most of the Outworld sequences. Raiden\u2019s temple is actually abandoned opal mines. They also shot in Black Hill Quarry, which has only one access road and can reach temperatures of 105 degrees. While shooting on location could be unpleasant, McQuoid believed it was worth the effort.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNo one wants to go and shoot in the bottom of a coal mine,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you go down there, and we have these incredible costumes and these incredible actors, and then you put them in this incredible location, all of a sudden it becomes another world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-684240 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/sfxplate-700x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/sfxplate.jpg 700w, https:\/\/d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net\/wp\/wp-content\/images\/sfxplate-360x154.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bringing_the_Unreal_to_Life\"><\/span>Bringing the Unreal to Life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While there is a lot of computer-generated imagery in\u00a0<em>Mortal Kombat<\/em>, McQuoid stressed that he wanted things to be done practically whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOne thing I stressed very early on is that I want this film to be in camera,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To accomplish this, many of the special effects shots used a mix of practical and digital effects. Some things were just impossible to do with practical effects, like Mileena\u2019s split mouth or the character of Reptile, who can go invisible. When they could make a practical effect, though, they did. The featurette shows some of the wild work of the effects team, including building a massive ice gun that launched foot-long ice chunk \u201cbullets.\u201d You also get a chance to see some of the fatalities in all of the gory glory, sans CGI. They\u2019re still plenty gross, trust me.<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_3 --><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s sort of the chaos of reality that can\u2019t be animated sometimes, that I think an audience will believe that it is real, because it is,\u201d special effects supervisor Peter Stubbs explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Check out the featurette <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yzKvaWuiOt8\">on the Warner Bros.
