Speaking of recast Johnny Cages dying, Mortal Kombat Annihilation hit theaters in 1997. Linden Ashby didn’t return, so they got Chris Conrad to get about thirty seconds of screentime before being killed off by Shao Kahn. Honestly, peacing out of that movie so early was a mercy.

First-look images from Mortal Kombat 2 give us a good look at Karl Urban's Johnny Cage, Kitana, Shao Kahn, and Hiroyuki Sanada's Scorpion.
