This is one of the most iconic and notorious fatalities from the original game. The extra moment or two taken to dwell on the heart after the removal, along with the heartbeat sound effect being heard makes it extra memorable. The MK1 version recreates it with more advanced graphics and an extra flourish or two, like the flash from Kanos cyborg eye as he approaches, but isnt too different otherwise. Kotals version is the real evolution here. Instead of immediately Kali Ma-ing like Kano, he has more of a ritual sacrifice flavour, using a knife to carve the opponents torso open first, then squeezing the heart over himself to absorb the blood. A fitting twist for the Aztec god-themed fighter. If War Gods ever comes back, Kotal Kahn should be a guest in it!

261. Spine Rip (Sub Zero, MK)

259. Spine Rip (Scorpion, MKD)
258. Spine Rip (Sub Zero, MK9)

Heres the other notorious fatality. This one is a formative moment for not just Mortal Kombat, but the videogame industry as a whole. Its taken different forms over the years (and well be seeing a few more later on), but its almost always in there somewhere, because the truth is, Mortal Kombat wouldnt be komplete without this. Scorpion even copied it once, either to insult his detested rival, or as an acknowledgement that he is indeed a connoisseur of killing. Even as late as Mortal Kombat 1, its still evolving, as Sub Zero uses his ice powers to freeze the opponents neck, allowing for easier ripping. Were sure to keep seeing this fatality in future games for many years to come, and long may that continue.
