She has a minor role in Martin Delrio's novelization of the 1995 live-action film "Mortal Kombat", based in part on the film's early scripts by Kevin Droney, in which she duels Sonya Blade in a bout that was omitted from the film. Jade's description as a long-haired Asian woman wearing a green silk dress was elaborated with her being covered in tattoos of tigers and dragons, and wielding two half-moon shaped daggers. Jade is killed with a single kick to the head by Sonya after being tricked into returning Sonya's bow of respect.
