Johnny Cage from the first Mortal Kombat movie. (When he fought Scorpion)

Fair Use Rationale
This images qualifies as fair use in the article Johnny Cage as it identifies the subject of the article (Johnny Cage) and critical commentary is offered on Cage and his appearance and actions in the movie Mortal Kombat.
 * 1) No free equivalent is known to exist, nor can one be created. Johnny Cage is a fictional character, all images of him are necessarily copyrighted.  The article discusses his role in the movie - and so any depiction from the movie will be copyrighted.
 * 2) This is useless as a replacement for the movie - the commercial value of the movie is not harmed.
 * 3) The value of a single frame relative to the entire movie "Mortal Combat" is very small - at 101 minutes, the movie should have over 100 000 frames - this represents less than 0.001% of the total work.
 * 4) The movie was released into theatres on August 18, 1995, it has also been made available on VHS and DVD.
 * 5) The image depicts a fictional character of some note and is thus encyclopedic
 * 6) The image is generally compliant with the image use policy
 * 7) The image is used in at least one article, specifically Johnny Cage
 * 8) The image depicts the subject of the article - it enhances the readers understanding through visualisation in a way mere text cannot hope to do. It is not merely decorative, but provides context and enhances the readers' understanding of the subject.
 * 9) The image is used only in the article mainspace.
 * 10) The copyright for the image is owned by New Line Cinema, the distributor of the film
