“A movie named Jiu Jitsu starring Nic Cage? Say less,” one fan joked.
In the Netflix Nic Cage shi-fi movie, Jiujitsu (technically a sport), the alien villain looks like if Tracy Morgan got his head stuck in a goldfish bowl. It’s easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I loved it!

“I just watched Jiu Jitsu, the movie with Nic Cage, and… wow. That was a thing that happened,” someone else wrote.
In the new Nic Cage move ‘Jiu Jitsu’, Cage has a line where he says “Game, match, set”, and I have no idea if the writing is just that lazy/bad or if Cage said it that way and was just like “No, we’re doing this whole thing in one take”.

“New Nic Cage movie called Jiu Jitsu? You better believe I’m watching that nonsense,” somebody else said.
Nic Cage is a legend. He always tries his hardest, and never says “no” to any script. #jiujitsu pic.twitter.com/3b8yPqpWMs

“Jiu Jitsu only got a 2.9 on IMDb but it is such stupid fun. Excessive choreography. Crappy effects. Turbo space ninjas. Nic Cage the jiu-jitsu master. Doom-esque first-person sequence. This movie made me smile today. Nothing else has.. and that sounds really sad. Watch Jiu Jitsu,” a final fan offered.
