ninja assassin - Blu-ray Forum

emacs · 12-23-2008, 01:10 AM

with respect to martial arts choreography my bias leans towards the Asian continent with the likes of Yuen Woo Ping, Sammo Hung and Lau Kar-Leung. the only North American stunt team that i think can even begin to approach the aforementioned are members of 87Eleven http://www.87eleven.com/mainsite.php

Chad Stahelski and Jon Valera choreographed the fight scenes in the upcoming Ninja Asssassin http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1186367/ starring Korean pop idol Rain in the lead role of Raizo. here's a training demo reel featuring Rain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maRMPXxNRBQ the film, Ninja Assassin, is due in theatres in 2009.

Ninja Assassin ?
Those two words together are what you could call a pleonasm

the filmmakers just want to make things very, very clear

I'm excited. Like, to the point of another Tony Jaa movie coming out. It's been way too long since a good ninja movie came out. Let's hope this delivers.

NINJA ASSASSIN NEW CLIP

Quote:

Then there’s a Ninja Assassin clip, also from MTV. Here the bloodied title character (played by Korean pop star Rain) flees a bunch of ninjas in nighttime traffic. That should be about all you need to set up this scene from the James McTeigue-directed, Whachowskis-produced film that opens on November 25. While this clip isn’t terribly graphic, the film does have gallons of blood and a dumpster’s worth of severed body parts. So if that’s what you’re after, have patience.

Enjoy.

Man NOTHING says "I am soooo there" like putting those two words together!!!

I might just drop by the theater in the morning and bankroll a whole days worth of tickets.

Let's all just say it once together. N I N J A S S A S S I N.

Man...it just rolls off!!!

Trailer for the movie totally blew me away though the clips with the kid makes me think Asian 300

Psychonaut · 09-08-2009, 10:06 PM

The chick in the car made me nervous. Hope it's not another loud mouthed, hard-as-nails-but-still-sexy-and-attainable sidekick.

This looks like the best ninja movie since Ninja 3 - The Domination

Lord_Stewie · 09-09-2009, 03:40 AM

What's better then having a Ninja who is an assassin.

icyteddy · 09-09-2009, 03:48 AM

Lucy Diamond · 11-03-2009, 03:10 PM

A ninja who's got a heart of gold, and a warm fuzzy interior behind his rock hard chiseled abs?

Naah, the Ninja Assassin is better! You win that one.

Rob71 · 11-03-2009, 03:37 PM

So is the main character a ninja assassin or a, um... ninja? Or is he a ninja assassin as in a ninja killer?

ummm yes.

This movie looks like it's gonna be a beast. I can't wait to check it out.

drobswim13 · 11-03-2009, 07:25 PM

I will have to say that I am pretty skeptical about this movie. For one, the CGI looks god awful, which is unfortunate. Secondly, they do not have an actual martial artist as the lead role, but Rain (which kind of makes me chuckle a bit). I'm not saying that they completely need a formal martial artist in the lead role, but it would most certainly make it that much more enjoyable.

I will probably see it with one of my friends because she is absolutely obsessed with Rain and then I will judge from there.

statikcat · 11-03-2009, 07:30 PM

My friend and I are going to see this probably opening night. One of our favorites is American Ninja. Dont mess with the Dudikoff!

Me too, it looks like it could be either really awesome or really lame.
