Mortal kombat goro movie series#

Series creators Ed Boon and John Tobias drew design inspiration from the stop motion adventure films of Ray Harryhausen, especially his depiction of Kali in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad in redesigning Goro with four arms. Goro's original design was as a two-armed humanoid character named Rokuro, a member of 'a race of demon warriors' who would join the tournament 'to restore the pride and respect of his race'.

He is playable in the 2015 title Mortal Kombat X as a bonus pre-order character, again serving as a sub-boss in the game's arcade-ladder mode. In the 2011 Mortal Kombat series reboot, Goro resumes his role as the sub-boss of the Shaolin Tournament from the first game, and is again defeated by Liu Kang in the story mode. He is a boss character in the 2005 beat 'em up title Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks. In the 2004 follow-up game Mortal Kombat: Deception, he has been saved from death by Shao Kahn, with the promise of returning his fellow Shokan to their former glory and the banishment of their archenemies, the Centaurs, in exchange for his allegiance, and resumes his place at Shao Kahn's side. In the training mode of Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance (2002), Goro is mortally wounded and presumed dead. Goro was initially omitted from Mortal Kombat 4 (1997), but was included as a sub-boss in the home versions of the game. In Mortal Kombat II, Goro is succeeded by another member of his race, Kintaro, and is not seen again until the 1996 compilation game Mortal Kombat Trilogy, in which all the characters from the first three series games were playable. Goro disappeared thereafter and was believed to be dead. However, these plans were thwarted when the Earthrealm warrior Liu Kang defeated both Goro and Shang Tsung, allowing Earthrealm to regain control of the tournament. He became Grand Champion of the Mortal Kombat tournament after defeating the Great Kung Lao, and held the title for the next 500 years as part of evil sorcerer Shang Tsung's plan to manipulate the tournament in order to achieve Outworld emperor Shao Kahn's goal of dominance of Earthrealm.

He is a Shokan, a half-human, half-dragon race distinguished by their four arms and enormous size. Goro is the sub-boss of the first Mortal Kombat game.
