Kill Bill Easter Egg?!
Aside from the day one patch, IGN has recently released a clip that showcased a particular Fatality move done by Shujinko. He performs Kill Bill’s Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, which involves hitting a few pressure points on the chest before a fatal blow.
This easter egg has now convinced fans to add a future DLC character to the game, The Bride who was played by Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. The short clip was later shared by Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon.
