Ninja Assassin is a 2009 martial arts film directed by James McTeigue. The story was written by Matthew Sand, with a screenplay by J. Michael Straczynski. The film stars South Korean pop musician Rain as a disillusioned assassin looking for retribution against his former mentor, played by ninja film legend Sho Kosugi. Ninja Assassin explores political corruption, child endangerment and the impact of violence. The Wachowskis, Joel Silver, and Grant Hill produced the film for Legendary Pictures, Dark Castle Entertainment and Silver Pictures. It was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

The Ozunu Clan, led by the ruthless Lord Ozunu, trains orphans from around the world to become the ultimate ninja assassins to offer assassin service to rich clients. The clan charges 100 pound worth of gold for their services and always kill any witnesses in the vicinity of their target. Raizo is one of the orphans. The Ozunu Clan's training is extremely brutal, especially for Raizo since he is to be the next successor of the clan. The only kindness he ever feels is from a young kunoichi named Kiriko, with whom he eventually develops a romantic bond. As time goes by, Kiriko becomes disenchanted with the Ozunu's routine and decides to abandon it. One rainy night, Kiriko climbs a wall to escape and encourages Raizo to join her, but he chooses to stay. Branded as a traitor, Kiriko is captured and later executed in front of Raizo by their elder ninja brother Takeshi, who impales her through the heart.

Years later, an adult Raizo is instructed by Lord Ozunu to complete his first assassination to kill a group of gangster. After the mission, Raizo meets the rest of his clan atop a city skyscraper in Berlin. There, Lord Ozunu orders him to execute a kunoichi traitor. Remembering Kiriko's death, Raizo slashes Lord Ozunu's face with his kyoketsu-shoge and fights against his fellow ninjas. Barely surviving, he falls off the rooftop and into a river. After years, Raizo recovers and trains on his own to intervene in, and foil, all of Ozunu's assassination attempts.

Although feeling betrayed, Mika is assured by Maslow that he is still on her side and gives her a tracking device for emergencies. The Ozunu ninjas infiltrate the Europol safe house, where Raizo is being held, in an attempt to kill him and everybody inside. Mika frees Raizo and they both manage to escape, but Raizo suffers near-fatal wounds. Mika then takes him to a motel to hide. Resting in the motel, Mika implants the tracking device into Raizo, as the ninjas remain in pursuit. Unable to fend off the Ozunu, she hides outside the motel until Special Forces arrive to help her.

By the time they arrive, the ninja have already kidnapped Raizo, bringing him before Lord Ozunu for execution. During the transport back to the Ozunu, Raizo uses his ninja techniques to heal his own wounds. Europol Special Forces and tactical teams led by Maslow storm the secluded Ozunu retreat (nestled in the mountains) using the tracking device on Raizo.

Turning the night into day by saturating the sky above with powerful flares, the military forces are able to fight the ninjas on their own terms. In the confusion, Mika frees Raizo from his bindings. He proceeds to kill Takeshi and confront Lord Ozunu in a sword duel. Mika interferes to help but gets stabbed by Lord Ozunu. Enraged, Raizo uses a "shadow blending" technique for the first time to distract and kill Lord Ozunu. Mika, seemingly fatally wounded, is in fact saved by a quirk of birth: her heart is actually on the right side of her chest.

Ninja Assassin was directed by James McTeigue, who had previously worked with producers The Wachowskis and Joel Silver on V for Vendetta four years prior. The Wachowskis were inspired to make the film by actor Rain's impressive ninja-based fight scenes in their 2008 film Speed Racer. The initial screenplay was written by Matthew Sand, and was rewritten by J. Michael Straczynski only six weeks prior to filming due to the Wachowskis' initial dissatisfaction. Martial Artist turned actor Sho Kosugi had previously starred in a number of ninja movies playing ninja villains and heroes several times in the 1980s, and had become a cult icon, hence his role as the antagonist Lord Ozunu, named after En no Ozunu, a 7th-century Japanese mystic and one of the developers of ninjutsu. "If you've ever watched any ninja films from the 1980s, you know that Sho Kosugi is the ninja; he is the man," asserts McTeigue.[5]

Ninja Assassin is a forgettable movie I watched back when I was a kid, because someone rented it. Probably because of that "catchy" title. And boy did I forget it, allllllll the way until now, where some youtube video randomly referenced it and brought back memories of... a forgettable movie. But there was something I remember.

So in the movie, the Keymaker was almost killed by a ninja (assassin). But luckily for him, he was born with a rare defect and his heart is on the mirror opposite side of his chest. I thought it was a dumb explanation at the time, but sure enough it's a real thing. And since "Dextrocardia is believed to occur in approximately 1 in 12,019 pregnancies", I guess I can let it slide. He miraculously survived, sure.

It was certainly nice of the filmmakers to set up this medical condition early on, but are you trying to fucking tell me that TWO characters escaped death because there heart isn't where it normally is? No. No fucking way.

That's like in The Lego Movie when our heroes are adrift at sea, and Metalbeard just shows up on the SS Convenience to save them, which Batman comments on. Then they need a hyperdrive or whatever to sneak into Lord Business' HQ, and the Millennium Falcon just happens to show up out of nowhere the Convenience System, and Batman remarks on the same bit. I love that movie, and it's a funny joke and callback, and I'm now realizing it isn't really the same thing as this dumbass heart in the wrong spot thing. But who cares.

I use two beds of nails when I do my hand stand work, one for each respective hand, spaced so that there are no nails underneath my face. That way, you can get more range of motion on the handstand push-ups. What I really need is a big bed of nails, with longer nails right where my hands are, so there is that whole cool ninja do or die motivation, with a full range of motion. This training would be followed by a session of jumping about the living room with sharp objects, and a flash back or two about my severe childhood training.

I recently built this Ninja/Assassin deck and would love some suggestions as to how I can improve it, while still keeping it budget friendly and as close to the theme as possible. My plan was to run Satoru as commander and be able to ninjutsu in some assassins. Really appreciate everyone's help!

Though it could be quite possible that he still loved Kiriko, I mean come on, there could have been at least one scene in the doggone film where Rain kissed Mika before leaving to get in the car or before he did something!! Not to be racial, but I agree w/ everyone who said this prior, had Mika been of a different race, there would have been a peck on the cheek, Rain would have flirted a ton more and just because, there might have even been possibly a marriage scene. (Ok ok, the marriage thing was a stretch, but you get what I mean!)

Our hero is Raizo, played by long-haired Korean pop star Rain, who also appeared in the Wachowskis' disastrous Speed Racer. He's being tracked by Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris), a "Europol" agent who is convinced that the long-rumored ninjas are real. She's right about that, but wrong to fear Raizo. He turns out to be an anti-ninja, fighting against the Clan of Black Sand, which adopted, raised and trained him.

A series of flashbacks show how Raizo, a gifted student, came to break with the killers, led by the icy, sadistic Lord Ozunu (Sho Kosugi). The movie's depiction of ninja training is, of course, fictitious. Aside from its murderousness, though, the ninja academy does bear a certain resemblance to the real-life Beijing Opera school attended by such performers as Jackie Chan.

Legendary martial-arts performer Sho Kosugi plays Lord Ozunu, Raizo's original master and leader of the assassin clan. The historical Ozunu was an ancestor of the ninjutsu, commonly known outside Japan as ninja. Juliana MalucelliĀ  hide caption

As an apprentice ninja, Raizo couldn't protect his girlfriend from Ozunu's brutality. This being an action movie, he gets a second chance to save a damsel in distress when the Black Sandies decide that Mika is getting too close to the truth.

camera tests where paid for by the production company so they own them , I can't post those , BUT take it from me the results where mind blowing , I was amazied it was so good and clean in the blacks in low light no fizzing noise at all and NO BANDING at all , I did lots a of graduated Gelled lights spread across walls and tested from Bight colours to falling off into shadows and NO BANDING !! very nice clean images , did alot of heavy grading in a DaVinci Suite at Media City in Salford and we pushed the images to the max and they held up to all we threw at them , this camera is significantly better in my opinion than the GH4 , rigged up correctly it is a very serious film making tool and a very good price for what it delivers all the tests where done 24p UHD 4k in Natural Profile contrast -5, saturation -5 (I did not use Cine D we tested it alot and it takes too much correction to get it back usable. ) Maximum ISO I used was up to 800 , I'm lighting sets to f2.8 and max 800 ISO is cool , I'm down at 400 and 320 alot . 2351a5e196
