Mortal Kombat Annihilation is a highly anticipated sequel to the 1995 "Mortal Kombat" film, extending the cinematic adaptation of the beloved video game franchise. Directed by John R. Leonetti, this 1997 installment once again thrusts audiences into a realm of intense martial arts battles, supernatural powers, and a battle for the fate of Earthrealm.
In Mortal Kombat Annihilation the story picks up where the original film left off, with Earthrealm's champions victorious over Outworld's forces in the first Mortal Kombat tournament. However, the respite is short-lived as a new threat emerges. The malevolent Emperor Shao Kahn (Brian Thompson) seeks to conquer Earthrealm and merge it with Outworld, initiating a cataclysmic event known as Annihilation.
As the fate of Earth hangs in the balance, familiar heroes, including Liu Kang (Robin Shou), Sonya Blade (Sandra Hess), and Johnny Cage (Chris Conrad), return to defend their world. They are joined by new allies, such as Kitana (Talisa Soto) and Jade (Irina Pantaeva), and face a host of formidable adversaries, including the shapeshifting reptilian Zaterra (Adoni Maropis) and the vengeful Sindel (Musetta Vander).
