* CreatorKiller: Any ideas of Uwe Boll being a credible director went out the window when this film rolled around; out of all of his video game movies, this one has the lowest Website/RottenTomatoes score, being only 1% (this is the same as ''Film/TheMasterOfDisguise'' and lower than ''Film/BattlefieldEarth''). Boll would continue to do major video game movies until the end of the decade, when the gaming industry got smart on him.

If you're not sure if it's a coincidence or not, don't add it.


* ActorAllusion: Perhaps by coincidence, but a character falls to his death in a pit of spikes. Said character is played by Ho Sung Pak, who'd portrayed Liu Kang in the first two ''MortalKombat'' games.

* FollowTheLeader: A late follower, no less. It may be [[InNameOnly loosely]] based on a video game, but the monsters, the action scenes, and much of the plot are blatant ripoffs of ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', which came out a good 18 years before this movie.

* FranchiseKiller: This movie was essentially the beginning of the end for the ''Alone In The Dark'' video game series, which never quite saw the heights it was at before this film's release.
