Late last year, we got a taste of the Danish martial arts short Echoes of a Ronin, in the form of a gallery of images.

"The movie follows the adventures of ex-con and accidental hero Tony Venganza.. Fresh out of jail all he wants to do is redeem himself to his young son..But caught up in a bad situation with various mobsters and japanese gangsters Tony must battle his way out to save the life of his son.. With only his wit and amazingly groovy martial arts skills Tony takes on all of Detroit's most lethal criminals!" Even better, the whole 6 minute short is available after the break!
