"There's no honor in killing crazy."
Well, Nicholas Cage should be fine then. The first trailer for Jiu Jitsu is now online, and it teases a ridiculously entertaining (entertainingly ridiculous?) sci-fi action adventure.
Cage (Mandy, Ghost Rider) stars as a veteran warrior tasked with training Earth's chosen defenders to do battle with an alien who drops in every six years looking for a fight. If he doesn't get it, he wipes out everyone on the planet... or something.
Frank Grillo (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) and martial arts legend Tony Jaa (Monster Hunter) also star, so there is some talent in front of the camera.
An ancient order of expert Jiu Jitsu fighters faces a vicious race of alien invaders in a battle for Earth every 6 years; When Earth's hero Jake Barnes is defeated by the leader of the invaders, the future of humanity hangs in the balance.
It's probably safe to say this won't be winning any awards, but it's clearly not taking itself very seriously, and might be worth a watch when it hits VOD on November 20th.
What do you guys make of the first trailer for Jiu Jitsu? Let us know in the comments.
