[Wuyizidi]

The basic plot cannot be more trite, but the action sure looks great:

Hey RAIN'S starring in this!!!

If you don't know..

[Bao]

LOL! From the IMDB discussion board:

Listen me carefully, Mr.Wachowski brothers;
I am not japanese,
I am Turkish,
I am not racist or ethnocentrist too,
but;
I am very angry about yours and your actor's(rain) descriptions about Ninja culture!
I am sorry,We never watch this movie!...Never!
let me explain it why?
Rain said in his latest interview:'Ninja is not just part of Japanese culture there is also Korean Ninjas'
'''Korean Ninjas!'''...what a shameful statement!...what a big lie!

Firstly;In Japanese history, a ninja is a warrior specially trained in a variety of unorthodox arts of war. These include assassination, illusion, espionage, and various martial arts.
There is no connection between Korean culture and Ninjas!...
do you understand that!
You have to show your respects for Japan's historicity...

Secondly;Mr.Waschowski brothers,your Matrix series,Speed Racer and Ninja assassin are based on the Japanese animes and mangas.
so that is why you have to respect to Japanese culture,Mr.Wachowskis,

So Tell me;why you use a Korean actor(rain) in this Japanese named movie...!!!
ok,you prefer a korean rather than a japanese actor...I did not like this choice though I accept your decision...
But Mr.Wachowskis,Why your actor RAIN explains that Ninja is not Japan culture!
did you believe that,he said 'Ninja is not japan culture',
Oh my god,
I said before,I am not japanese but I hurt so much...
I am really very angry,
Wachowski brothers know how to earn money on the Japanese culture,that is ok,but
why they could not control their actor's wrong statements!
what is this irreverence!
please,please,please
Do not touch the historical truths,
Respect the soul of Ninja,because Ninja is spirits of Japan!
and,
do not forget,Ninja is the very important part of japan culture,
there is no interest and connections between Ninja and korean culture...!
And my last words is to Mr.Rain;
'Mr.Rain,please do not speak about Japanese culture!'

SUMMARY OF THIS BOARD
1-Japanese market is one of the biggest market for Hollywood, and Japanese watch the movie illegal very rarely. So if I am the person in charge for the promotion, I'll let Rain correct his statement. With just a simple correction they can avoid the damage (nobody knows how serious or how slight it is).
2-We have strong Ninjutsu comminities and very active,impressive cinema club!
We have enough power to starting very powerful boycotting and effectual protesting action against this movie!
3-Me and all my friends will protest this movie,
we will not watch until to hearing about their correction,
if you don't care about us,
if you laugh us,
if you think that we are unimportant,
if you underestimate us,
ok,no problem...
Because we will fight for our case until the end of our abilities.
and I am not Japanese,
I just fight for that what I believe...
4-if they CORRECT THEIR STATEMENTS everything will be ok.
5-I think you don't have an idea about 'the box office power of Japan',
ok let me remind yo again,

did you know the box office of The Last Samurai was 140.000.000 dollar in Japan!
and,
did you know the box office of the last Samurai was 110.000.000 dollar in USA!

CAN YOU SEE THE DANGER FOR PRODUCERS OF NINJA ASSASSIN,
CAN YOU SEE THE POWER OF JAPAN AUIDENCES?

OK,let me remind you again about box office of 'speed racer'in japan,
JUST 3million dollars,

can you see big difference between the box office of 'Last Samurai' and 'Speed Racer'...Can you really see it?...are you sure?

AND,
also I have a very big boycott plan for Turkey,my country,
Turkey has very big box office potential too,


JUST,
I hope,the producers will read this message board and correct their actor's statements!...I just hope for them not for us!

[Overlord]
