The film featured four actors from the 1992 video game Mortal Kombat II: Ho Sung Pak as Lang (the role being a nod to and a play on words for his MKII character Liu Kang), Richard Divizio (a nod to Kano), Daniel Pesina (a nod to Johnny Cage) and Katalin Zamiar (a nod to Mileena).
The Fatalities were developed by a group of animators led by Carlos Pesina; they comically considered Mileena's Fatality in which she eats the opponents' neck as the most disturbing due to how her "sexy moves" are modeled from Pesina.
