Today we look at the lost media of Mortal Kombat. This legendary series has spent 30 years releasing unforgettable video games, films, and adapted comic/tv series. But across that time, they've left just as many projects unreleased. Today we look at some of the lost and canceled games, films, comics, characters, tv series that could have helped define Mortal Kombat across the years.

The Mortal Kombat’s Lost/Cancelled Material Krypt’s 18 Specific Locations.
It’s crazy to think rebeltaxi worked on a cartoon from WB knowing how much he wanted to work at Cartoon Network
In retrospect, his MK video made it too obvious he was working on something
Aren’t you that guy from twitter? Funny seeing you here lmao
Honestly his art ain't bad at all,really like his art and think the designs hold pretty faithful but also quite child friendly in some ways
I think I remember Pan Pizza stating multiple times that he was actually working on a project and was excited to see how it would turn out. He said it a few times during his streams and podcasts, but for disclosure reasons he couldn't say what it was. I think he did mentioned it was cancelled, but never in a million years I excepted he made a Mortal Kombat cartoon made for Cartoon Network. Hell I never expect Mortal Kombat to go this route in general considering how mature the game is. This is like the most perfect cartoon for the Pizza boy to be part of and I hope we can a way to see these episodes. At least he's still working on his LOKI IRL pilot so he achieve his dreams.
Yeah, and I have an indie project for Adult Swim
Despite how much time has passed, I'm still sad about Ash.
never say never
just gotta keep your fingers crossed for mk1
I know the all ages market was definitely part of why it got canned, but I can’t help but think that the name *MK Ultra* Girls was part of the problem
Yeah... in retrospect not the best name choice...
I love CIA mind control program 😱😱😱😱
Cancelling a whole, practically finished project because of an unfortunate name seems pretty bizarre though, since they could always, you know, just change it to something else. And considering how obscure that cancelled show is to this day, I don't think there ever was much of a fuzz about it as to damn it to infamy for eternity if it came out under a different name.
Still an interesting idea that just needs a better name lol
CIA and Killer Instinct.
I want justice for ash in mk1 because Bruce Campbell and Sam rami both said they'll happily put ash Williams into any game because he needs to be in more games and Bruce Campbell even said he'll voice him
I keep telling myself Ash not being in MK11 is a secret blessing, cause now he can be in MK1; a better playing game IMO.
I wanna see him in too, but recently Bruce Campbell said he changed his mind about Ash being a guest in games, because he wants to see guests join the Evil Dead game.
However, the studio behind the game recently announced that they won't be adding any new content to it, so perhaps Bruce will change his mind again.
I remember having Johnny Cage in WWE Immortals. There was this Allies and Rivals system, where certain characters would get extra stats when paired with characters considered allies to them. Johnny Cage was allies with literally every female in the game, and was rivals with literally every male in the game. Also, Raiden was apparently playable, except it wasn't actually Raiden, but Xavier Woods with Raiden's outfit and powers.
I was a part of the MK:FOMA community. It was fun. There was a competition where people sent in themselves as a created MK character - each entry came up with the name, design and story of their character. It was meant to go to a vote and the winner would be included in future seasons of MK:FOMA.
I remember when RebelTaxi shared an image of MK Ultra Girls. Took me until today to find any proof of it, and honestly, if they never release it, I'll just have to die mad about it, because it looks absolutely insane in the best ways.
I didn't even know he talked about this. It looks exactly like his art style, that's way i clicked on the video. This a small world
@@rainingfist It was a “blink and you miss it” sort of thing. He posted it on Twitter, then shortly deleted it and clammed up tighter than Fort Knox.
The premise reminds me of a similar animated spinoff for Attack on Titan called AoT Junior High
I hope they resurrect the show but it'll Air on adult swim than on cartoon network
@@Mr.Feather130so… do you want MK ultra girls, revived as a MK high school parody show for [adult swim]…
I TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK, THAT IDEA IS PERFECT (heck, if that idea becames real, they better make a crossover with aqua teen hunger force)
I’m one of Chris Casamassa’s students. For a while he used to not like talking about Mortal Kombat. Originally I had no idea why but I’m thinking this is reason. It’s all good now. He’s very happy to talk about the series. He has stated he would love to be part of the new games if they request. he’s already very busy as it is due to becoming the CEO of Red Dragon Karate and his father passing. Regardless, he’s a very great person and the best karate instructor I’ve ever had!
That’s great you’re a student of his Brad, but I feel bad for him on the last two parts at least you and others are caring for him on that!
@@jeopardy-alpha for sure. He’s doing great however. Great person!
Totally Brad, would have to agree with you on that my man!
I also had a karate instructor that was a mk ninja people didn't believe me until I provided evidence lol, he was rain , his name is Percy spitfire brown 💯
@@bruceaskew2107Awesome Bruce, I am happy for you!! 💜💦💜💦
Man I missed WWE Immortals. Johnny Cage's super move in that game was a goreless version of his MKX X-ray
I remember playing that game.
Calling Shaolin monks "pretty decent" is absolute blasphemy it's probably the single best thing the series has ever done
The MK hierarchy (from a Mortal Kombat OG, since day one in 1992)
1 Mortal Kombat II
2 Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks
3 Mortal Kombat
4 Mortal Kombat 4/Gold
5 Mortal Kombat (2011)
6 Mortal Kombat Deception/ Unchained
7 Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance
8 Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
9 Mortal Kombat Trilogy
10 Mortal Kombat 3/UMK3
11 Mortal Kombat 11/UMK11
12 Mortal Kombat 1 (2023)
13 Mortal Kombat Armageddon
14 Mortal Kombat X/XL
15 Mortal Kombat Special Forces
Just my two cents... and I excluded MK Advanced VERY purposefully!
But my absolute favorite MK game isn't an officially released (or sanctioned) Midway or NRS game... It's a M.U.G.E.N. game called "Mortal Kombat Trilogy Extended" (MKTX)... it's... the absolute best MK game ever made.
Shout out to Cage9999!
@@thisisnotachannel Thats just your opinion & preference, But OK i respect it
That’s NUTS shaolin monks is the only MK I haven’t played
@@GKA11111it's one of the greatest I wish they would have redid Shaolin Monks they remember playing it with my brother I would always choose Liu Kang
@@thisisnotachannel why is x near the bottom
What's wrong with Robocop being in the MK games ? Considering the over the top violence of the first two films, Murphy would fit in quite well as a Kombatant.
I often think about the fact that Kiefer Sutherland straight up told IGN he did voice over work for MKX, and then nothing ever came of it. What was up with that?
Surprised you omitted an obvious one: the original ending of Mortal Kombat Annihilation that featured Quan Chi, setting up the 3rd movie. They filmed it with a local Thai man who didn't speak any English and didn't have any acting experience but the make up work was excellent. It was scripted, filmed, and even in a few magazine publications but has never been released.
All Things Lost talked about MKA's deleted scenes in his MK Lost Media video! Tbh I just didn't have anything to say that he didn't and try not to include things notable TH-camrs have already covered.
Mk ultra girls actually doesn't sound half bad and could easily be made into a series that pokes fun at similar shows
I could see it working better if they upped the age demo.
@@40kanonI find it weird they made another MK show aiming at kids considering how mature and gorey the games are. Having it be in Adult Swim aiming at teens makes a lot more sense than doing for kids. Even then, I still want to see this show that used Pan's design
It looked super cringe.
MK babies is such a strange concept. There’s potential for parody but it would need to be much older
@@allendepacheco3419 Yeah, i feel the executives or investors of a lot of these shows where basically forcing them to appeal to everyone for the wide age range of fans without judging the IP. Heck i watched the first movie as a kid & still have the poster. Thing is though as time went by and things got more grounded in realism i can see why they'd get canned. The demographics are like young teens and kids with that one, It worked in the 90's with pixels and a million bones, now? It's so darn realistic you could really mentally scar some kid who watched this and then got a hold of the game or looked up fatalities on youtube. It's like making a GTA V Kids series with baby franklin, trevor and micheal. Who's going to invest in that dumb of an idea?
I love the concepts don't get me wrong, just the higher ups only think if this is viable to market or not to as many as possible, any risks to link to an M rated franchise is just not acceptable for kids programming in modern days.
It’s a shame Universal is so protective of the Evil Dead franchise. The residuals they would have gotten from putting Ash in MK would have been more than if they hired a team of devs to make another middling ED game.
I bet Bruce Campbell recorded some absolutely hilarious screams and yells for MK11.
I got a feeling Bruce Campbell will reprise his role as ash in mk1 one last time, we need a proper ending to the evil dead series.
I think MK Devastation would unironically do well now on digital platforms as part of that legacy.
damn. editing and voice over on point, underrated af creator and excellent video
I really appreciate that, thanks for watching!!
You're wrong! Ash will be in MK! He will!
Trust the plan
Nothing says "the DC Universe" quite like showing Thanos place the Mind Stone into the Infinity Gauntlet. 3:50
Great video! We appreciate the reference/credit regarding our interview with mink on "Devastation" too!
And thanks for all you guys do, appreciate you watching!
Here's something even more obscure. There's an indie 90s comic series called "The Good Guys" which has Goro from MK in it. (I swear it's 100% real.)
Holy shit the leak for harley in kombat pack 2 makes more sense now
I need to see the RebelTaxi cartoon so bad I love his style
Also legally he can't talk about it so you shouldnt ask him about it
I personally think that we might still have ash from the evil dead in Mortal Kombat one since they could easily reuse some of the lines they just need to get rid of the army of the dead references
Army of darkness had some of the best quips?
@@WackyRaccy93 That flew over your head, They likely agree but because of how volatile the license for AOD specifically is they're saying remove those and try to get AvED Ash or ED2.
I feel like MK ultra girls work better as a show on adult swim than on cartoon network
The ash part still hurts me from this day😢
belokk could be fit for any upcoming mk games in current timeline era
Because it would be so cool to see him in current timeline
Considering he is just cut character
I’m so disappointed that ash never got into mk. Like man…..
im calling it right now this video will have 300k views in a week or two
I find it weird that mk wasn't able to get ash William but call of duty was able to
They also got Shredder, who'd be a better fit in mk.
@@p.d.l7023 nah, it would be better in injustice like how the turtles were
I hope we still get Ash Williams.
I knew about most of these (long time MK fan since the 90s), but wasn't aware of MK Ultra Girls. Being also a fan of Rebel Taxi, I would have been down to see that!
The loss of Ash Williams will forever be the worst thing in the history of anything ever, as he fits flawlessly in the universe… only seconded by the community response to RoboCop, I- I don’t get it. You can argue he’s a bad character, that’s a matter of opinion, but to say he doesn’t fit in the universe is just a weird point, he makes no less sense than someone like Rambo.
It's kind of weird to think we likely would've gotten another MK movie if hurricane Katrina didn't happen.
I distinctly remember a list of cut KAK content from MK Armageddon posted on MK Online's forums, which included more Shokan parts and weapons for two-handed and staff stances. I can't find the thread for it, anymore, but I swear it was real, and I wish people in the MK community would cover it, sometime.
Fantastic video. I consider myself a huge MK fan, and even I didn't everything you mentioned here. Btw, Sonia in Special Forces was very cool, so I suggest every fan to try her gameplay. Cheers
Telltale were able to use Army of Darkness's Ash for Poker Night 2 without much headache. MGM basically told them they could choose any of their franchises outside of James Bond, and Bruce Campbell didn't even know about it until the game was already shipped (hence why Ash is instead played by the "A day without sex is a day wasted" guy from Birdemic). Granted, this was before MGM were bought by Amazon, but I still have a hard time believing that Warner Bros could afford Sylvester Stallone and Jean Claude Van Damme, but not a character/franchise that a bunch of smaller game companies are somehow able to use. (Plus, who the hell starts work on something before they even have all the legal work taken care of?)
I know Activision also starts working on things before the legal rights are fully handled, as told by COD and how there are things that get datamined and then nothing comes of them (Captain America and Indiana Jones crossovers during Vanguard)
@@AmyCherryLMAO Activision is incompetent on a regular basis.
@@otaking3582 I absolutely agree, there hasn't been a moment where they've handled things in a good way since probably the 1980's knowing them
Say what you want, hearing “You want fries with that whoop ass?” has made my life better
Awesome vid man, looking forward to more
3:00 ironic quan chi was announced as dlc for mk1 and harley quinn is rumoured to be in dlc pack 2
Let's go a new video! I watched it and boi was it fantastic. This was well worth the wait
Decado, good to see you!! Sorry for the wait lol, but thanks for checking it out!
Amazing video! This got me hooked on your content, I hope you grow more!
I'm a fan of your vintage (as in old youtube) style editing!
wow, i'm frankly shocked you only have under 2k subs. this is one of the highest quality lost media vids i've seen from a channel of your size! loved the gag at 28:51 and I hope you keep making videos with this awesome style!
Super nice of you to say, thank you!!
9:42
It's so weird to look back at that time and see so many movies wanted to be like Batman Begins when it only made 373.3 million which is not even close to the top 5 highest grossing films of 2005 or even out gross Burton's first Batman
Might've blew peoples minds to see that well a made Batman movie again after how terrible Batman & Robin even though it's my least favorite of the trilogy
Oh damn I didn't even realise how early I am 😅
Underrated creator. Great stuff, man.
Really nice of you to say, thanks so much!
@@MonitorLizardTV No problem. I'm a bit of a sucker for lost media stories, so I felt I'd check this video out.
Also thought the bit at 28:50 was kinda funny.
Love the video ❤
Hopefully, Ash comes back for Kombat Pack 2 in MK1
That MK Advance bit had me rollin', dude. Probably because I'm pretty high, but trust me it's funny.
i remember being 10 and already was a huge nerd abour MK hidden/cancelled characters and how i would recreate them in armageddon's kreate a fighter
Fantastic video! Although I will not take any Mortal Kombat Live Tour slander. That little interview they did on some news channel is peak cringe. I live for that stuff
Well, I’m subbing. This is some interesting info
this videos a banger fr
I may not be a fan of Pan anymore but I would've been happy to have seen him finally have his dream come true. Always sucks to see projects with so much effort and love put into em just get canned after a couple years in development. Kinda ironic though, he finally got his wish only for the project to get shelved, on the bright side maybe it'll help him get work on another show as a character designer. Man's artstyle is great.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT VIDEO
To be honest id rather have arcade perfect graphics of the first 3 original games on modern systems than the "remake" of the same games in higher res.
I heard that Quan Chi and Harley Quinn were planned to be DLC in Mortal Kombat vs. DC universe but were canceled due to Midway going bankrupt.
Cool video dude
I'm sorry but I want MK Ultra Girls released ASAP!
Betting money that if those episodes ever see the light of day that noob saibot is gonna be an emo
@@ThivenThaddeus omg this is perfect!
@@ThivenThaddeusAnd We Need Tremor to be the School Bully
@@zer0wayne450 if Baraka and D'vorah aren't cafeteria staff, we riot
Great vid
I could NOT stop laughing at this part! 30:32 Awesome video!
WHY THE HELL DON'T THEY GET ASH WILLIAMS IN MORTAL KOMBAT ONE RIGHT NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Please make a part 2
Subscription due to lost trigun game, this is great as well
Also for Mortal Kombat Legacy season 3
Eric Roberts played Bo Rai Cho 💀
What's wrong with Eric Roberts and also the skull emoji???
@@yourlocalFrostingfan skinny white guy plays chubby Asian character 😂
Eric Roberts really will take any job.
Not gonna lie i d watch that. I died when i saw his cameo in cable gut. Brilliant😂😂😂
ngl from what I’m already hearing about the Sub-Zero solo film, it sounds like the Sub-Zero solo film would’ve been an absolute disaster, if ever made a reality
Threshold was for sure more hits than misses, and it's a safe bet to think it would've been bad. But it's also really funny to imagine a world where Sub-Zero got a solo movie before Wonder Woman, Captain America, Nightwing, or Master Chief.
@@MonitorLizardTVperhaps, but it also would've been a waste of time and recourses, if they'd actually gone through w/ making such an abomination, since any non-video game Mortal Kombat media that isn't 18+ or rated R or whatever, is therefore bound to be bad
10:52 I just remembered they should have made that a *_Brutality_* for Sindel.
WE COULD HAVE HAD A BETTER KUAI AND FROST MENTORSHIP?? GAHHH FUCK IT’S ALL I WANTED FROM THEM DAMNIT
Interesting video! Though, I don't think there was an original MK8. I think it was always going to be MKvsDC and that the stuff Ed Boon was saying about the game having all new characters meant having the DC people and that the different tone was meant to mean that the violence was getting tone down. That's how I saw it, at least; more of cryptic corporate language than a false promise.
The mk ultra girls, sure will be something i really want to see.
A Mileena with problems of comunication
Hey. The mk live tour was pretty kool. Lol I still have the souvenir from when I went.
I would love to know more if you want to talk about it! I don't think I've ever read anything from anyone that was actually there.
@@MonitorLizardTV I was pretty young when it was around. Either 6 or 7. I only remember very few details. I can't find the date when it was in my city either. Here's what I remember:
I sat near the aisle. Maybe 4 seats away. Some characters came out and walked to the stage through the aisle at one point. There were times when audience participation was asked where we would yell out. Johnny cage dies at one point, and we have to help Liu Kang bring him back using the amulet. There were souvenir amulets you could buy at the merch table(I still have mine). You hold it up when he tells you to, and I think repeated what he said or something, and Johnny Cage comes back.
Thank you for sharing, that sounds incredible! I miss when Johnny Cage was considered so killable that he could die in front of children and there wouldn't be a problem.
@@MonitorLizardTV you're welcome. Yup, those were the days. Lol, I think it was similar to the 2nd movie. A quick neck break. Center stage. Back then, people knew what they were getting into. I just found your channel. I like lost media stuff, and it'd be great to see the full show again. I think it's considered lost media at this point.
10:49
We don’t talk about fucking second timeline Sindel
Maybe naming your kid friendly cartoon MK Ultra was a really bad idea, considering what comes up when you google MK Ultra and the horrible experiments and torture people went through during MK Ultras life span. The horrible stuff that we know about anyway.
11:50 God I love the clerks reference I wasn't even looking at my screen at the moment cuz I'm playing Mortal Kombat 1 they should have called it Mortal Kombat 12 because it is 12 but whatever and all I heard was Randall I'm like wait a second so I had to replay it to watch it awesome reference sorry for the zero punctuation if you got through this novel thank you
Omg im so used to the heavy accented names I read nitro as “nitaro” 😂
The mk uktra girls thing kinda got me interested but why would you use frost of all character
I'm assuming they're running out of female characters that could work as students in a high school setting and Frost had type of role in MK11
I’ll never forgive WB for fucking the bag with Ash Williams In MK11
Mortal Kombat Federation of Martial Arts in its extremely low-budget form feels more like minus 90% of the budget of both the first movie and the Conquest TV series, minus 50% of Annihilation's budget and minus 20% of Defenders of the Realms' budget.
Wish to see an AI upscale of the ill-fated Federation of Martial Arts web series, getting it more better video quality, if anyone is interested.
Ash needs to be in an MK game.
What’s crazy is they got ash Williams in call of duty!
True story: when the 3rd game first came out, there was a stage show of MK. When they came through our city, my ex gf did all of their hair for the show.
Was woundering why u liked reptile so much then noticed your name 😂 what's your favorite varanid?
wow lost media monday
i am in man
just hoping that some lost media is just by chance not lost at all
I heard from a pal’s tweet today, which she retweeted that there is some current issues or problems for the Evil Dead game. But I suggest you check it out for yourself, Lizard! As a fellow wisher of Ash to be placed in back then!
Im glad that live action Sub Zero movie got cancelled, the description for it just sounds horrible.
I am confident that more people bought MK11 to play as Robocop than Fujin.
The wwe game is lost damn.
Lol. If DC vc MK never happened then we would have never got injustice. They should do a sequel to DC vs MK. But add the exaggerated WWE cast from immortals
What looks like a man skinned alive was given attention it they scrapped a robotic demon creature. That’s a felony
15:46 MK9 was dope and one of the best DLC characters ever Freddy Krueger
nice
26:27
Give this man all the money in the world
God an mk soundtrack by Pharrell would’ve fucked so hard fr, I’m so mad we missed out on that
I am probably one of the few MK fans that like MK Vs. DC Universe.
Does anyone know the song that plays in the background during the MKX Generations topic 17:33? Sounds almost like the kreate-a-fighter theme but different
to be perfectly honest, as much as I'd *love* Bruce Campbell Ash in Mortal Kombat, I do think BC would be right to be a bit hesitant to see his likeness go through modern MK fatalities...
I have to admit, 5:42 was epic trolling on Ed Boon's part, claiming N64 graphics were "too primitve" and that it was time for Playstation gamers to "grow up and join the big boys". Considering how the N64's top selling point was that it had better graphics than any other console at the time and how Playstation owners saw their console as more "grown up" than Nintendo's consoles.
