It is ironic that Subzero and Scorpion are on the same side in the movie as they are mortal enemies in the game series. After saying this Scorpion reveals a metallic snake like device from his hands and then lets it loose. Johnny Cage takes off running as fast as he can. After the metallic snake reaches its maximum range, Scorpion recalls it and attempts to launch it again. At this point, Johnny Cage charges Scorpion and knocks him back with a drop kick.
Scorpion is killed with great difficulty after an extensive hand to hand fight session.
The rest of the minions of darkness are killed largely by the technique of luck. Subzero is killed just by throwing water at him as the ice becomes like mini knives as it freezes and approaches him. Quite a sad ending to one of the more memorable characters from the videogame franchise. Lizard is killed but ressurects himself with the help of a rock based statue, and then he is killed again. Goro the multi armed beast is killed by knocking him off a cliff.
