Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Producer Lawrence Kasanoff revealed the film was released unfinished, saying the effects in the movie are not the final effects: "We weren't done. We never finished that movie. But the studio said, 'we don't care'. We sacrificed quality for business."
- It was the first time any Israelis had ever worked in Jordan for a film; one location was Petra, and Kasanoff remembered that "the Israelis had tears in their eyes when we went there because of the political climate", never having been able to visit.
- J. J. Perry replaced Chris Casamassa as Scorpion, as Casamassa chose to do Batman & Robin instead, and Bridgette Wilson was replaced as Sonya by Sandra Hess, with Wilson instead choosing to appear in the film The Real Blonde.
