How the gory sounds in the ‘Mortal Kombat’ movie were made

The film’s soundtrack, “Mortal Kombat,” was a creative tribute to the bloody killings of the franchise. Adrian Medhurst, Foley Artist, had to account for blood sprinkling and bone-breaking at any given moment. Medhurst tried many different foods to create organic sounds. He snapped celery, pepper, and other foods to do a bone-cracking split. To cover the blood escaping from someone’s heart, he discovered that grapefruits could be used to make the right sound. James Ashton, Robert Mackenzie, and James Ashton, sound designers, created distinct distortions to create characters’ signature moves.
