* AdaptationalWimp: Johnny Cage would sadly get this in both ''Scorpion's Revenge'' and ''Battle of the Realms''. While earlier ''Mortal Kombat'' games made him out to be a JokeCharacter by the time of ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombat9 MK9]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MortalKombatX MKX]]'' Johnny had [[TookALevelInBadass proved]] to be a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass personally kicking the asses of Sub-Zero, Scorpion and even PhysicalGod Shinnok as one of the strongest guys in TheVerse. The duology however, mainly keeps Johnny as the PluckyComicRelief who helps Sonya fight {{Mooks}} with his only victory being a fight with Baraka in ''Scorpion’s Revenge'' where the collapsing temple their match took place killing the Tarkatan instead of Johnny himself who just ducked and dodged. In ''Battle of the Realms'' all Johnny does is get his ass kicked by D'Vorah and help Sonya fight demons in the FinalBattle.

Hell, he even seems to be far more cowardly than his video game counterpart. Also, the man known for dishing out the [[GroinAttack groin trauma]], is [[HoistByHisOwnPetard subject]] to a couple of [[UnnecessaryRoughness BRUTAL kicks to the nards]] by Sonya Blade only because she finds him annoying.

Per TRS, this is now Trivia and renamed to Production Lead Time

** [[spoiler:At no point between the two film does Shang Tsung ever try to pull a [[TheStarscream Starscream]] on Shao Kahn. In fact, between this and the fact he chastised Quan Chi for going against Shao Kahn in ''Scorpion's Revenge'' for his actions, it suggests this version of Shang Tsung is loyal to Shao Kahn as opposed to merely opposing Quan Chi due to PragmaticVillainy as Shinnok is known for being an unabashed OmnicidalManiac.]]
