1* AccidentalDownerEnding: Shao Kahn wins, killing everyone but Raiden, who is now his prisoner, and displays their personal items as proof they've been slain. A second season was planned in which the Elder Gods would have intervened, revived everyone killed and punished Shao Kahn, but this never happened due to TNT not renewing the series, effectively ending the show on a completely bleak note.
2* ActingForTwo: Jeffrey Meek plays both Shao Kahn and Raiden. He does a surprisingly good job differentiating both characters and due to the former's mask, most viewers never realized this.
3* CastTheExpert: Siro and Shang Tsung are played by real life martial artists, Daniel Bernhardt and Bruce Locke respectively.
4* ChannelHop: Went from syndication to Creator/{{TNT}}.
5* FakeNationality: The Great Kung Lao, a Chinese character, is played by Paolo Montalban, a Filipino.
6* RoleReprise: Chris Casamassa who played Scorpion in the first MK movie reprises the role in this series.
7* ScrewedByTheNetwork: When TNT picked it up, they placed the show immediately following ''Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro'', which meant it got good ratings. But this also meant higher budget costs, and TNT ended up pulling the plug instead of renewing it.
8* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A second season, which was ScrewedByTheNetwork, that would have connected the show to ''Film/MortalKombatTheMovie''. WordOfGod says that the EverybodyDiesEnding would have been [[CosmicRetcon undone]] by the Elder Gods, who would have also punished Shao Kahn by forbidding him from taking part of Mortal Kombat for 500 years. However, Shang Tsung would have won back Shao Kahn's favor by enlisting Goro and representing Outworld in the Mortal Kombat tournament in his stead. Meanwhile, Taja and Siro would die of old age and Kung Lao would be killed in Mortal Kombat by Goro after seven days of fighting. Outworld would spend the next 500 years dominating the tournaments while Raiden searched for a new champion who could save Earthrealm.[[http://www.mksecrets.net/index.php?section=mkc&lang=eng&contentID=5900&title=Mortal-Kombat-Conquest-Ending-and-Story-Timeline]]
