Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 3:22AM Five Cool New 'Ninja Assassin' Clips
I saw a commercial for Ninja Assassin this weekend with the tagline, "Only one ninja was harmed during the making of this movie. The rest...were killed!"

OK, so that kind of gives away the ending - and thanks a lot - but it got me thinking if there were any new clips for the film online since we shared a bad-ass ninja brawl in the middle of traffic a few weeks ago. Because this flick is directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta), the hope is that there's loads of action and that the film will actually be at least somewhat satisfying on an intellectual level on top of that, although there's nothing wrong with an incredibly basic ninja movie that is stuffed with fight scenes and little else.
Well, we found a handful of scenes, most of which are, indeed, stuffed. And this gives us a chance to see more of McTeigue's handpicked ninja assassin, South Korean actor and dancer Rain. I can't be sure, but it's highly likely McTeigue first saw Rain in Speed Racer, directed by his mentors The Wachowski Brothers.
Here are the clips:
Ninja Assassin opens on Wednesday, November 25th. Odd timing for a movie like that, but it could pay off. It's the only action movie with much momentum between 2012 and Avatar, and that could play in its favor, especially with samples like these.
