History YMMV / NinjaAssassin

* FridgeBrilliance: Casting Music/{{Rain|Singer}} as a Ninja. Ninjas are supposed to [[TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse look like anything]] ''but'' killing machines, so that they can approach their target and flee more easily afterwards.

* CompleteMonster: Lord Ozunu is the ruthless leader of the Ozunu clan, a clan which takes in orphaned children and raises them as ChildSoldiers by putting them through [[TrainingFromHell intense training regimes]], where he [[WouldHurtAChild routinely abuses them]]. Such abuse includes whipping them to the point of leaving scars on their bodies and forcing them to compete in brutal sparring matches where they beat each other to a bloody pulp, [[TykeBomb all for the purpose of making them the perfect ninja assassins]]. These assassins would go after their targets via black sand in a letter as a calling card, striking in the dark or dimly lit places killing not only the targets but anyone allied or unfortunate enough to be in the same room as the target as to leave no witnesses. Years prior to the film, when Kiriko had tried to leave the clan Ozunu had her captured and killed and nearly does the same to Raizo when he betrays him as well. During his final confrontation with Raizo, Ozunu nearly kills Mika by stabbing her [[HeartInTheWrongPlace where her heart is supposed to be]], with a cold, apathetic look on his face.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome:
* How quickly Raizo managed to identify and kill the ''kunoichi'' in the laundromat and then stuff her body in one of the washing machines.
* Raizo's battle with the London gangster, with props to the latter for being able to last so long fighting with a fucking ninja.
* Ozunu attempts to force Raizo to execute a member of the clan, another young girl who tried to runaway just like Kiriko, as part of a final test. Raizo instead slashes the old bastard across the face like he had to Kiriko years before and proceeds to fight his former clan.
* The battle at the Interpol safehouse. OneManArmy Raizo tears through dozens of his former comrades, while fittingly epic music blasts.
* Mika [[spoiler:planting a tracker on Raizo so that the Europol agents can locate the Ozunu clan's hideout and tear the seemingly invincible ninjas a new one]].
* In the final battle, upon seeing [[spoiler:Mika getting stabbed by Ozuno]], Raizo unlocks [[spoiler:his master's FlashStep ablity]] and uses it to defeat Ozunu, along with utilizing the pressure point attack that the bastard kept using on him before, leaving him in crippling pain.
** You have to give props to Maslow for being smart with how he handles the Nine Clans conspiracy, to the point that he pretends to act like an ignorant idiot in order divert attention from himself.
* "The first breath I take after I kill you will be the first breath of my life."

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: Aside from the awesome ninja-on-ninja action, we get to see a face-off between ninjas versus soldiers. [[spoiler:The soldiers win in the end.]]

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: "The first breath I take after I kill you will be the first breath of my life."

* ColbertBump: One of the few straight examples.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: One of the soldiers expresses the opinion that Raizo [[CastingGag looks like a member of a boy band]]. Raizo gives him a death glare. Raizo was in a different room and the soldier was watching him through a camera.
** This also doubles as FridgeBrilliance for Americans unfamiliar with the actor playing Raizo. The actor, Jeong "Rain" Ji-Hoon, is famous in South Korea as a pop singer.
** Takeshi ''AND'' Raizo getting hit by a car is a Crowning Moment Of [[BloodyHilarious Bloody Hilarity]].
** The fact that Raizo killed someone in a laundromat and [[CrossesTheLineTwice put their corpse in a dryer]] is this when you [[FridgeLogic stop to think about]] [[RefugeInAudacity how patently absurd it sounds.]]
** Raizo notices that Mika's a size 36 in clothes. Mika says she's a 34. He gets her a 34. [[WeightWoe It doesn't fit.]]
** [[BigDamnHeroes Mika.]] DynamicEntry. [[TheDragon Takeshi.]] ''[[CarFu Fishtailing car.]]''

* OneSceneWonder: Raizo's first target, an overweight cigar-smoking LondonGangster, is MadeOfIron and kicks the crap out of him bare-handed after getting ''knifed in the neck.''
