Mortal Kombat 2 is a few months away from release, but according to the franchise's co-creator Ed Boon, who had already seen the film in its current state, the movie sequel will live up to the expectations of fans starting with the very opening scene. In fact, Boon tells Collider the sequence is so striking that it's brought him to tears each time he's watched it.
"The opening sequence in the movie is… I don't think I've seen it yet and not cried," Boon explains. "It is intense. It punches you in the face. And it absolutely is the best way to start it, but the rest of the movie just lives up to it. It's such a powerful opening scene."
