* This is admittedly trying to patch over a gaping hole, but who is the first person Liu Kang sees after defeating Reptile? Kitana. It's entirely possible that she trailed Johnny and Liu Kang when they entered Outworld, and when Liu and Reptile threw down she grabbed Johnny and told him "It's still Mortal Kombat, you can't interfere."

** The reason implied by the scene was that he wanted to fight anyone else except Liu Kang, what with Liu being TheChosenOne. Same reason why he tried to scare Liu Kang away while actively making sure Johnny and Sonya make it.

* After telling Johnny Cage about the tournament, "Master Boyd" is revealed to be Shang Tsung in disguise. Shang Tsung can only take the form of people whose soul he has absorbed. Assuming his power works the same way in the movie that it does in the games, he only needs a small portion of their soul to take their form. That said, there's no reason to assume he ''didn't'' kill the guy and steal his soul.

** Referenced and confirmed in VideoGame/MortalKombat11 when Johnny Cage faces Shang Tsung in VS Mode that Shang Tsung killed and stole Boyd's
soul.

* Why does Shang Tsung challenge Johnny Cage to the final match? Throughout the movie, Tsung has shown an obvious attraction to Sonya and he knows Johnny has similar feelings for her. [[MurderTheHypotenuse He was trying to get the competition out of the way.]]

Removed the top page index! No idea what's with the Fridge Brilliance note here (I've never seen tropers needing to sign entries for Fridge pages...), so I've removed that text and any troper's signatures.

A reminder of the rules of FridgeBrilliance:

This is a personal moment for the viewer, so every example is signed by the contributor. If you start off with "This Troper", really, you have no excuse. We're going to hit you on the head.

This revelation can come from anywhere, even from this very page.

Also, this page is of a generally positive nature, and a Fridge Brilliance does not have to be Word Of God. In fact, it usually isn't, and the viewer might be putting more thought into it than the creator ever did. This is not a place for personal commentary on another's remark or arguing without adding a Fridge Brilliance comment of your own.

* Why Sonya didn't fight back when Shang Tsung took her to outworld, even though earlier she proved to be an adept fighter. She figured out early that any form of physical fighting against him would be accepting his challenge. -STFilmmaker

* In The Movie Shang Tsung whenever he introduces himself and during the final battle puts his Fist over the Palm of his hand. When Liu Kang prepares to face him he does the traditional salute of putting his Palm over his Fist. The palm over fist symbolizes peace over power while Tsung's stance represents power over peace which is a symbol of his beliefs and obsession over gaining power and dominance.
