Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge (2020)
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge is a 2020 animation movie directed by Ethan Spaulding, with a running time of 1h 20m. It stars Patrick Seitz, Jordan Rodrigues and Jennifer Carpenter.
This one earns its R rating inside the first fight. Ninja Hanzo Hasashi loses his clan to a raid led by the ice-cold assassin Sub-Zero and is dragged into the Netherrealm, where a bargain with the sorcerer Quan Chi remakes him as the vengeful specter Scorpion. Up in Earthrealm, the thunder god Raiden gathers fighters, Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, Johnny Cage, for a tournament with the fate of the world as the prize. The animation leans hard into the arterial, bone-snapping fatalities straight out of the games. Loud, mean, and proudly excessive.

A few thoughts on Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion's Revenge
The fatalities come straight from the source, so go play it: Mortal Kombat 1+2+3 bundles the arcade trilogy that built this mythology one uppercut at a time, and Mortal Kombat 4 pushes the roster into early 3D. Same characters, same brutal finishers, your hands on the buttons.
Where to play the fatalities the movie animates
Scorpion's Revenge pulls its arterial finishers straight from the games, so start with the source. This covers the arcade run from Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3 through Mortal Kombat 4, the beat-em-up spinoffs Shaolin Monks and Mythologies: Sub-Zero, and the modern gore of Mortal Kombat 11 and its Ultimate cut.
The Mortal Kombat saga on screen and other fighting-game adaptations
If the animated film left you wanting more of the tournament, these carry Raiden and the roster elsewhere. Conquest and Defenders of the Realm ran the story on 90s TV, the 2026 Mortal Kombat II keeps the live-action reboot going, and Battle Arena Toshinden shows another fighting game turned into anime.
Blood-soaked revenge and martial-arts anime
Hanzo's descent into vengeance is pure grindhouse anime energy, matched here by other brutal action series. Ninja Kamui and Fist of the Blue Sky trade in cold-blooded martial revenge, while The World's Finest Assassin, Dragon Ball DAIMA and Supreme God Emperor keep the fights fast and the stakes lethal.
Game and franchise adaptations coming to screens
Scorpion's Revenge is one of many properties leaping from console and comic to the screen. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, The Punisher: One Last Kill, Supergirl, The Mandalorian and Grogu and Avatar: Fire and Ash all push beloved franchises into new 2025 and 2026 releases.
