Opening this weekend is the new movie The Warrior’s Way, a hybrid actioneer that is a western martial arts adventure. In the tradition of Sukiyaki Western Django or The Good, The Bad, and The Weird, this is the type of movie where you wonder what an Oscar winner like Geoffrey Rush is doing here. Though I’m one to talk. Three years after winning for Shine he was playing Casanova Frankenstein in Mystery Men.
In the restricted clip below, Yang (Dong-gun Jang) puts his martial arts skills to good use as he, his sword and the former Ms. Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) defend themselves against some ninjas.
The Warrior’s Way is the first American production by Korean filmmaker Sngmoo Lee. In addition to Dong-gun Jang and Bosworth, the film also stars Geoffrey Rush, Danny Huston, Tony Cox and Ti Lung.
