Fatalities are the lifeblood of the Mortal Kombat franchise, for the way they allow players to finish off their opponents in satisfyingly gruesome ways, and for the comedic value they add to lighten the game’s extreme gore factor. For the latest Mortal Kombat installment, available now for PS3 and Xbox 360 (and worth every bloody penny of its asking price, I might add), the team at NetherRealm Studios went all out to produce the nastiest and funniest fatalities yet, as you can see in this new behind-the-scenes video.
And speaking of fatalities, here’s another star-studded episode in Machinima’s hilarious series of rejected secret character fatalities. In this episode we get to see the darker side of Excitebike, Earthworm Jim, Dig Dug, Golden Axe, Donkey Kong and Kirby. Kirby’s is without a doubt the most disgusting!

The secret character series are always fun to watch.
I really enjoy the behind the scenes look at fatalities too, i want to see how they did the Mileena one where she looks like she is about to kiss the opponent but instead rips his head off. I wonder if that’s why they didnt put Kitana/Sonya kiss of death fatalities…
I wish they had behind the scenes video content like this as unlockables from the krypt within the game itself. The existing concept art and other items are nice, but it would have been really cool to unlock fatality videos for each character and stuff like that. You don’t even have to be playing the game – fatalities are just fun to watch!
