Theory: Mortal Kombat and Enter the Dragon Are the Same Movie

Here’s undeniable proof that Mortal Kombat and Enter the Dragon are indeed one in the same. Or, as previously pointed out, maybe it shows how Mortal Kombat borrowed heavily from Enter the Dragon?

Mortal Kombat. For the Atari 2600.

If Mortal Kombat went back in time and made sweet love to Pitfall, the result would look something like this. Yes, that’s Scorpion up there. What? Yes, I’m sure it is.
