| - For stuff belonging to Mortal Kombat Annihilation, head this way.
* Actor Allusion:
* This isn't the first time that Christopher Lambert played an immortal.
* Chris Cassamassa and Hakim Alston were already fighters in a TV show.
* Hey, It's That Guy!:
* Christopher Lambert (Connor MacLeod) plays Raiden.
* Linden Ashby ends up hooking up with Alice, Claire Redfield, Carlos Oliveira, and LJ.
* Robin Shou tried to hijack Tina Armstrong's boat... with less than stellar results. Later on, he would end up taking Chun-Li under his wing.
* Tony Jaa was Robin Shou's stunt double in the second film.
* Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa would become the head of the Mishima clan.
* Chris Casamassa and Hakim Alston (Red Dragon and The Machine) are Scorpion and one of Liu Kang's rivals.
* Kwang and Lupe Lamora are Shang Tsung and Kitana, respectively.
* Mic Brumby is Kano.
* Hey, It's That Voice!:
* As one of his earlier works of voice acting, Kevin Michael Richardson (now the announcer of the 2011 MK game) provides the main voice of Goro, though voice acting legend Frank "Megatron" Welker provides many of Goro's vocal effects.
* Speaking of Welker, he sneaks in a voice role as Shao Kahn himself at the end of the first film.
* Fake Nationality: Japanese-born Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa as Chinese-born sorcerer Shang Tsung. The more famous example is Trevor Goddard.
* Real Life Writes the Plot: The fight scene between Reptile, Johnny Cage and Liu Kang was added after test audiences were dissatisfied with the other fights in the movie. Linden Ashby wouldn't have been on set.
* Throw It In: Liu Kang was supposed to duplicate the acrobatic flips of Sub Zero's down the ramp during the fight, but Robin Shou couldn't pull it off successfully. After a few takes, instead of the acrobatics, he just ran down into the ramp yelling like a maniac. That's the shot that got used.
* What Could Have Been:
* Jason Scott Lee, Phillip Rhee and Russell Wong auditioned for the role of Liu Kang. Robin Shou got the role.
* Cameron Diaz was originally cast as Sonya, but in training for the movie she injured herself, with Bridgette Wilson-Sampras stepping in.
* Brandon Lee (son of Bruce) was set to play Johnny Cage. After his untimely death, the role was passed down to Linden Ashby.
* Apparently, they originally wanted Ron Livingston to play Goro. Yes... they wanted Peter to play Goro.
* Michael Jai White was slated to play as Jax. He declined, because he was already working on Spawn. He does end up playing Jax in Mortal Kombat Legacy.
