** Stages, such as Quan Chi's Fortress for Raiden vs. Johnny Cage, Kuatan Jungle for Mileena vs. Reptile, Outworld Marketplace for Johnny Cage vs. Kotal Khan, and Lin Kuei Temple for Sub-Zero's MirrorMatch, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfeaOQgPOBo add new exchanges, or alter lines, to reflect their arenas.]]

*** However, this is subverted for Noob Saibot and [[spoiler:Kitana]], who are both worth a million dollars. This is despite the fact that the former is the Sub-Zero from the first game (his brother is worth five million instead), and the latter [[spoiler:became Outworld's new Kahn at the end of Chapter 7 of Story Mode, making her the only Kahn to not be worth five million]].

** Stages, such as Quan Chi's Fortress for Raiden vs. Johnny Cage, Kuatan Jungle for Mileena vs. Reptile, Outworld Marketplace for Johnny Cage vs. Kotal Khan, and Lin Kuei Temple for [[MirrorMatch Sub-Zero vs. Revenant Sub-Zero]], add new exchanges, or alter lines, to reflect their arenas.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfeaOQgPOBo A handful of intro dialogues]] acknowledge the stage the fight is taking place in.

** The infrared vision also displays [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhes]] as no warmer than his surroundings.

* Choosing both Carl Weathers!Jax and Johnny Cage in the character selection screen will trigger an animation between them reenacting a scene from ''Film/{{Predator}}''.

* Kronika has a special line if she is the victim of Johnny Cage's "$500 Sunglasses" Brutality. Since she’s an Arcade boss you should not be able to use any Brutality on her, she says “Impossible!”.
* [[GuestFighter The]] Franchise/{{Terminator}} doesn't emote at all when Fatalities are preformed on him, fitting as he ''is'' a machine. In addition, most Fatalities, Brutalities, and Krushing Blows that would reveal his organs and skeleton show that they are all machine parts taken directly from the films, while keeping the organic layer of skin, blood, and muscle tissue visible where they should be[[note]]An early glitch with the Joker's second Fatality accidentally displayed organic intestines when it was used on the Terminator. This was eventually fixed in a patch[[/note]]. Franchise/RoboCop works similarly, with his machine parts being visible, though unlike the Terminator he has even ''less'' organic bits to him, so Fatalities that expose raw muscle on everyone else instead expose a metal layer between his outer chassis and his inner framework. However, anything that opens up his head will properly display his organic brain and raw red interior.

** Speaking of the Joker, an odd aversion occurs when Skarlet’s “Bloody Mess” Fatality is performed on him when he's wearing any of his costumes where his left eye is replaced with an 8-ball, as his normal eye will pop out instead, despite the 8-ball replacing it.

* When using Skarlet's Make It Rain Fatality on Sheeva, Skarlet will summon 6 blood pillars, to accommodate for Sheeva's 6 limbs (although this gets subverted otherwise as Sheeva's extra arms don't typically get special accommodation by the game, evident when using something like Cyrax's "Nothing but Net" Fatality that dissects the opponent).
