Honestly, it wasn't necessary for the story they were trying to tell. That's it.
They probably thought parents wouldn't be too happy if little Timmy saw Scorpion ripping someone's spine out. Just a guess.
Gore would have pushed the movie to an R rating, which would limit its audience and potentially reduce ticket sales鈥攎oney talks, folks!
As someone who watched it at the time, they wanted it to be more about martial arts and the adventure rather than a gore fest. It worked for me!
