Mortal Kombat 2 looks set to be even bloodier – and gorier – than its predecessor.
Per the Motion Picture Association, the sequel is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore, and language” (H/T Bloody Disgusting). The original, however, earned its rating for “strong bloody violence and language,” so the “gore” is a new addition for round two.
The Mortal Kombat movies are based on the video game franchise of the same name, which was first released in 1992, and they also serve as a reboot of the ’90s movies Mortal Kombat and Mortal Kombat Annihilation.
