The movie is based on a comic of the same, which was co-written by the film's director, Dimitri Logothetis.

In addition to Cage, Jiu Jitsu also features action stars Frank Grillo (The Purge: Anarchy) and Tony Jaa (XXX: Return of Xander Cage).

"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.
