If done correctly, Quan Chi will summon five panes of glass and drop them vertically on his opponent. He then pulls them apart, slicing the other kombatant into six pieces and revealing a rather gruesome cross-section. Some may find the fatality to be a little underwhelming when compared toother fatalities inMortal Kombat 1, though what these people might not realize is that the fatality is actually a reference to the split horse scene from Tarsem Singh’s 2000 psychological thriller,The Cell, and a pretty good one at that.
