(/div)(/center)(br /)(br /)Fans of ninjas, obstacles, and epic fails were given a huge helping of all-of-the-above last night as NBC 'premiered' the first episode of 'American Ninja Warrior'. While full of the usual par-for-the-course failures at completing the run, the most interesting contestant of the night was Kelvin Antoine, a 53-year-old man who nonetheless failed to finish.(br /)(br /)"American Ninja Warrior" is slated to play on Sunday's on G4TV and on Monday's on NBC. (Yeah, we're not the only ones confused at that scheduling decision)(br /)(br /)Check out the video above for a ad-filled peek at Kelvin.(br /)(br /)(via (a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/22/american-ninja-warrior-premiere-kelvin-video_n_1535508.html")HuffPostTV(/a))

While the short trailer may leave you with more questions than answers (isn't that every teaser's purpose?), it's a well-done trailer that is hopefully a sign of where the movie is headed. That way we just pretend that "Quantum of Solace" didn't exist and move on from there.

(br /)(br /)Beating us to the punch, G4 whipped up a super-entertaining list highlighting the top fictional characters that would have no problem winning the American Ninja Warrior. It's a great list and hard to argue with the contenders they post...but I'll try anyway.(br /)(br /)For starters, Katniss Everdeen? Really? She may have all the courage and endurance, but she wouldn't hold a candle to Ezio Auditore of (i)Assassin's Creed(/i) fame. Check out the source for the full list of the crazy characters that did make the list.
(br /)(br /)You can watch all of the non-fictional people take on the obstacle course of insanity when it premieres this Sunday, May 20th, on G4TV.(br /)(br /)

His latest movie, "Chinese Zodiac" will mark his last foray into stunt-filled world of action films as the actor, now 58, focuses his career towards roles that will showcase more of his acting abilities. At one point during the interview, Chan stated: "The world is too violent now. I love fighting but I hate violence."
