5 Goriest Fatalities In Mortal Kombat History, Ranked

The developers of Mortal Kombat II significantly increased the game’s violence with new characters and finishing moves. One particularly gruesome example is Kung Lao’s “Vertical Slice” fatality. This move involves Kung Lao using his signature hat to either slice off an opponent’s head or cut them cleanly in half. While both are brutal, the decapitation appears slightly less graphic. It shows Kung Lao swiftly slicing his hat through the opponent from head to waist, causing their upper and lower bodies to separate, with blood and gore spilling from the severed areas.
