Mortal Kombat has become the most successful fighting franchise in the history of video games and one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Lawrence also produced the second movie, animated TV series, live-action TV series films, the first one million platinum-selling album and a live-action tour. Film producer Lawrence Kasanoff licensed the rights to the game in the early 1990s and produced the first hit movie ever made from a video game.
The original game has spawned many sequels and spin-offs consisting of several action-adventure games, as well as a comic book series and a card game.
Mortal Kombat was the first ever fighting game to introduce a secret fighter, reached if the player fulfilled a set of requirements. The development of the first game was originally based on an idea that Ed Boon and John Tobias had of making a video game starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, but as that idea fell through, a fantasy-themed fighting game was created instead, nonetheless paying homage to him with nut-cracking movie star character Johnny Cage, whose initials and personal style echo Van Damme's.
Mortal Kombat is an American media franchise centered on a series of video games, originally developed by Midway Games in 1992.
