Mortal Kombat 2 star Karl Urban really did one of Johnny Cage's iconic moves, but it was "the most difficult physical challenge" of his career

Karl Urban as Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat 2.

Mortal Kombat 2 star Karl Urban has revealed that he really did do one of Johnny Cage's iconic moves – but not without almost injuring himself.

"I think my biggest concern was the challenge," Urban told ComicBook.com. "You know, and this was, without a doubt, the most difficult physical challenge that I’ve ever encountered in making a movie. And I’ve made a few. And starting from scratch, starting with just learning how to move, agility, doing speed drills, then learning movement and form and style. Everything is so specific, and it’s not like a brawl where you can just push your way through it."
