17	* One of Kotal Kahn's Brutalities involves his opponent being "toasted" under a sunlight cone. This can be seen as a reference to Nightwolf's "Ascension" Fatality.
18	* One of Kano's Brutalities has him stabbing his opponent in the stomach and bisecting them in half. This can also be seen as a nod towards Kratos's "Sword of Olympus" Fatality.

20	* One of the Faction Kills for the Brotherhood of Shadows faction involves the opponent being sucked into a portal and a geyser of blood. This is a reference to Freddy Krueger's Geyser fatality.
