Check This Out: Awesome Fight Training Video for Ninja Assassin
January 5, 2009

While we patiently wait to see the first trailer for James McTeigue's Ninja Assassin, we've got some behind-the-scenes footage to help keep our appetite whet. This video originally comes from our friends over at SlashFilm. Considering I'm one of the few supporters of this movie, I'm excited to feature this today. This video shows Korean actor Rain training with 87 Eleven, the stunt team behind Matrix, 300, Watchmen, and the Bourne movies. I also love watching this because it shows me why I admire actors like Rain so much - they can do something I could never do, no matter how much training I had. Just watch!
If you're looking for the best parts of this video, there is a badass fight scene that starts at about 1:31 into it. There's also another really cool one-on-one fight that starts at about 3:02. Sit back and enjoy!
Watch the fighting training video for Ninja Assassin:
Ninja Assassin follows Raizo (Rain), one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them… and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge.
Ninja Assassin is directed by Australian filmmaker James McTeigue, who worked as second unit director under the Wachowskis on the Matrix trilogy before directing V for Vendetta on his own. The story was developed by newcomer Matthew Sand and the screenplay was written by both Sand and J. Michael Straczynski ("Babylon 5", Changeling, World War Z). Joel Silver and the Wachowskis are producing. Warner Brothers will debut Ninja Assassin in theaters sometime in mid-to-late 2009.

that is amazing stuff!!
I loved the sliding along the floor moves!
Please, please, please do not ruin this movie by using Bourne style hyper editing!!! It needs to be HK style long takes for most of the fighting…with slightly faster edits as to build up the fights to their climaxes. Thankfully McTeigue didn't use hyper editing in V or his 2nd unit work!

holy crap i think i just messed my pants…. thats how awesome this fighting looks. I dont even care I dont know what it's about. Rain is one of my favorite actors, and this will most certainly be a good movie.

Rain is truly amazing! He works incredibly hard and masters everything he sets out to do! I think I was equally floored when he mastered Swiss yodeling for the Cyborg movie! He can do a high action part like this, but he can also do serious dramatic acting like in his TV series A Love to Kill or broad comedy like in the TV series Full House and in Sangdoo (which was a mix of comedy and tragedy). In addition to his talents he has a fun personality and is known for gestures of kindness/charity maybe because he knows what is means to go through really hard times. Really a celebrity worth respecting and supporting.

We are totally in love with (Bi) Rain.All the dramas he was a part of and his music are totally awesome. We are huge fans of his backup dancers. Love them, great moves. We are awaiting the release of this movie. Where do we go to buy it now….We want at least two copies each…Wish your new movie much success and hope you make many more…Don't forget to eat, we worry about you..We are also proud owners of many Rain produces….Saranghae Rain
