Since the 2011 reboot game Mortal Kombat, the series has featured a special mechanic where players can dish out extra damage and trigger a brief cinematic moment. Unless what, Todd Garner? While we can safely assume that the actors of Mortal Kombat can't throw fireballs or generate ice walls on their own on camera, it's just as reasonable to think Garner is hinting Mortal Kombat will have the games' devastating X-Ray effects, also known as "Fatal Blows" and "Crushing Blows." (Or, as Mortal Kombat spells it, "Krushing Blows.") Garner responded, "These actors are also bad ass martial artists.

In another tweet on February 2, a fan asked Garner, "Is the new #MortalKombatMovie going to focus on practical effects, CGI, or an amalgamation of the two?" On January 23, a fan asked Garner if the film will have "x-rays, fatal blows, crushing blows" in "the new Mortal Kombat movie?" Garner responded, "Well they aren’t dancing." In a handful of tweets dating back to January, producer Todd Garner has playfully "answered" fan inquiries to Mortal Kombat.

Without anyone noticing, one of the film's producers has been dropping hints on Twitter that the movie will (maybe) contain some homages to the new games, notably the gruesome "X-Ray" effects that reveal fighters' bones breaking, internal bleeding, and other moments of utter savagery.

A film reboot of the popular Mortal Kombat video games will hit theaters next year, and it might be the movie that finally brings Mortal Kombat's unique brand of ultra-violence to the big screen.
