- The film was produced by Ho-Sung Pak and Wayne Kennedy who created together with Matthew E. Chausse the film company GenOne.
- Each actor that has appeared in a "Mortal Kombat" video game also portrays a small attribute from their Mortal Kombat alter-egos in this movie. For example:
- Like the "Mileena" character, Katalin Zamiar is seen dressed with a ninja mask covering her mouth and also uses two sai ninja knives.
- Like the "Kano" character, Richard Divisio has a shaved head and plays a criminal with a love for knives and black magic (Kano was also a member of the Black Dragon, another word parallel).
- Like "Johnny Cage", Dan Pesina is seen wearing very dark sunglasses indoors. His character is also hit with an uppercut punch in a style that is very reminiscent of the original Mortal Kombat games.
- Like "Liu Kang", Ho Sung Pak is the chosen one. He also dons a red headband for a fight scene near the end of the movie, making him look almost identical to his character in "Mortal Kombat II".
- The main character's name is "LANG" which is a play on words for "Liu Kang" - the Mortal Kombat character. Both Lang and Liu Kang are "chosen" heroes. This is possibly a Mortal Kombat reference as Ho Sung Pak was very well known for his role of Liu Kang in the first two Mortal Kombat video games.
- The lead actors Ho Sung Pak and Ho Young Pak are brothers in real life.
- The actors Ho Sung Pak, Ho Young Pak and Taimak all appeared in WMAC Masters as Superstar, Staw Warrior and Striking Eagle.
