Mortal Kombat co-creator and creative director of NetherRealm Studios Ed Boon recently shared a fantastic video compilation featuring a number of different moves from Mortal Kombat 11Jax’s remade with no budget. The video, created by indie filmmaker Ayo The Creator, features both Fatal Blow and Jax Briggs’s Fatality, created using props such as a Pringles can.
The video, which Boon shared on Twitter, is a pretty good one-on-one version of Jax’s two moves with slow-motion framing and character angles in line with the actual moves of the game. While a toy gun rest was once used to replace Jax’s gun, it really is the aforementioned Pringles can – or it could be “cans” at the flickering effect that appears to be a green and then a red can that goes back and forth changes again – – instead of the explosive that actually sells it.

The “zero budget” Jax video is far from the only one in this style from Ayo The Creator. Their Instagram is full of various videos, including other Mortal Kombat videos like this one with Scorpion and Sub-Zero facing each other. Since they seem to be aware that Ed Boon is noticing them, one can only imagine that more will be made in the future.
The all-in-one Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is available for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series consoles, Nintendo Switch, PC and Google Stadia. It basically includes everything released to date – except for the latest skin packs – for the fighting game in addition to the recent Kombat Pack 2 DLC featuring Rain, Mileena and Rambo.
