ROYAL KILL (2009)

ROYAL KILL, an ambitious-looking indie actioner starring WWE’s Gail Kim and the late Pat Morita, Oscar-nominated star of THE KARATE KID, is coming to theaters in a limited release beginning April 10th.

Written and directed by newcomer Babar Admed, the film concerns efforts by a fierce assassin (Kim) from a kingdom in the Himalayas to assassinate an American teenage girl (Lalaine) who is unaware of her status as the last living heir to the kingdom’s throne.

Former model and amateur boxer Alexander Wraith plays a royal bodyguard sent to protect the young girl.

    Speaking of “final” Pat Morita films, you should give the war drama, “Only the Brave”, a chance. It’s about the Japanese-American interment, and also features Mark Dacascos and Jason Scott Lee. You can only order it off http://www.onlythebravemovie.com/ , though.

    That trailer was so incredibly bad. I think my eyes are bleeding…. the poster and stills look NOTHING like what the trailer was showing. And the synopsis is completely incongruous as well. What the hell is the movie REALLY about?
