When the Mortal Kombat If this re-release is released later this month, Scorpion will play an integral role in the film. To promote the upcoming film, Warner Bros. Hacksmith Industries sponsored to build a working version of the character’s iconic Kunai spear forcing opponents to ‘come here!’ The video shows host James Hobson and his team assembling the weapon. Once the weapon is complete, the end result is really impressive. Hobson could even send a box and a mannequin out to him after hitting them with the chain attack! The video can be found at the top of this page.
The 12-minute video reveals several details about the actual build and how Hacksmith Industries was able to obtain it. Hobson and his team had earlier created a launching mechanism that they could reuse for construction. The team designed and built a sheet metal glove to house the chain and spear. The building also contains a laser engraved version of the Mortal Kombat logo, along with Scorpion’s name.
For those unfamiliar with Hacksmith Industries, the company’s YouTube channel specializes in taking weapons out of popular culture and making them come true. Hobson and his team even created a real Iron Man glove last year. By comparison, Scorpion’s chain attack doesn’t seem so difficult! Regardless, the video is really impressive, and a must-see for fans looking forward to it Mortal Kombat reload!
Scorpion is one of the main characters in the Mortal Kombat story, so it’s not surprising to see how the character is used in this way to promote the film. Scorpion has been around since the first game in the series and has since emerged as a playable fighter. Although the role of the character in the 1995 film was quite small, it seems that Scorpion’s rivalry with Sub-Zero will play an integral role in the recharge.
Fans will be able to see that Scorpion is its Kunai in the Mortal Kombat reloads when released in theaters and on April 23 on HBO Max. Readers can find out more through the rest of ComicBook.com’s coverage of the Mortal Kombat reload not here.
