Mortal Kombat II trailer release: Warner Bros. drops spoof movie promo featuring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage
With just days to go until the official Mortal Kombat II trailer arrives, Warner Bros. has thrown fans a nostalgic curveball. The studio released a spoof trailer for Uncaged Fury, a fictional 1990s action movie supposedly starring none other than Johnny Cage, played in Mortal Kombat II by Karl Urban. Styled like a straight-to-VHS martial arts film, Uncaged Fury is a tribute to the kind of over-the-top action flicks that once made household names out of Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, and Michael Dudikoff.

Discovery to split into two companies, dividing cable & streaming The mock trailer includes a voiceover, flying kicks, slow-motion explosions, and plenty of cheesy one-liners - all delivered in the typical flair of the bygone era. Watch it here: A throwback to Cage's fictional filmography As the trailer opens, the narrator says, 'They p**sed him off… They messed with his shades… They should've brought more guys.' The rest plays out exactly how you would expect: Cage battling denim-clad henchmen inside a dusty warehouse, complete with flips, dramatic stares, and that classic battle cry - 'Showtime!' The trailer also includes nods to Cage's made-up film career, with posters flashing titles like Cool Hand Cage, Hard to Cage, and Rebel Without a Cage. All four faux films, including Uncaged Fury, are cheekily credited to New Line Cinema - the actual studio behind the original 1990s Mortal Kombat movies, the 2021 reboot, and the upcoming sequel. One of the most over-the-top moments shows a woman in a red dress firing a rocket launcher at Cage. He leaps - impossibly high - as the rocket passes just beneath him, then somehow curves mid-air to destroy a helicopter hovering above.
