Mortal Kombat Movie Officially Gets Its R Rating The new Mortal Kombat movie has officially got its R rating, a rating that should be a surprise to nobody who’s been following along with the film’s development. This means that this movie will be the first live-action Mortal Kombat film to earn the R rating which is exactly what Mortal Kombat fans have been hoping for in the build-up to the film’s release. Mortal Kombat screenwriter Greg Russo and others working on the film have long said that it would get this R rating and that it’d include plenty of Fatalities and the franchise’s signature violence.
