Brilliantly done mesh of Mortal Kombat, the original 1992 video game, and Bloodsport, a 1988 movie which starred Jean Claude Van Damme. Johnny Cage (who, if I remember correctly from my childhood, was the most useless character of all) was in fact modeled after Jean Claude Van Damme from this movie.
From Wikipedia:
"Cage's appearance in the first game was loosely based on Van Damme's portrayal of Dux Ryu Ninjutsu founder Frank Dux in the 1988 movie Bloodsport, incorporating both Van Damme's appearance/outfit and his signature "leg split" move."
