In 1995, Mortal Kombat hit number one at the box office and became one of the first financially successful movies based on a video game (before that were the likes of Double Dragon and Super Mario Bros.). As with most movies, it endured many changes on the journey from stage to screen, and one character in particular was almost played by a young up and comer named Cameron Diaz. To mark the 20th anniversary of Mortal Kombat, The Hollywood Reporter talked to many of the behind the scenes players and put together an oral history, a kind of from-their-mouths retrospective about the trials and tribulations of the production.

We were at New Line when The Mask was in postproduction, and Cameron Diaz was not a household name.

Within months, the Palace was overthrown, and the royals exiled...
