Samurai fighting with jet packs is the futuristic sport we’ve all been waiting for

Yes, please.

You came here for jet-pack samurai, we give you jet-pack samurai.

This is the action movie I never knew I needed until now. Just a bunch of samurai with jet packs flying around and attacking each other for honor, and presumably the acquisition of more jet packs.

It’s a jet pack-based economy in my fiction — where only the wealthy are able to acquire more jet packs for their samurai to battle in overhead cloud cities. Damn ... this plot is better than 9/10ths of movies already out there.

Jet-Pack Samurai — Coming Soon.

P.S. I know this is probably fake and they’re on wires or something, but it’s real to me dammit. I just want to believe jet-pack samurai are a thing. Let me be blissfully ignorant.
