George Taylor There were many silly action/kung fu movies made in the 80's. Sho Kosugi, Ninja Master, was in many of them. I saw this in the theaters and it was fun then and it's fun now. Sho is a Ninja who has moved to America and runs into trouble that only his Ninja skills can get him out of!

kankawin25013 Many movies about Ninja have introduced to us because of interesting culture and action. However, you can't trust that every Ninja movie are good. Revenge of Ninja is one example of Ninja movies' "fault".Somebody in this page maybe praised this movie and like it because how it present the action flick. But for me, unreasonable things came up all of 90 minutes. Did you think that a lot of henchmen with the machine guns can lose to an "one and only" police who just punched them? Yes, he is not John McClaine or The Terminator or JCVD, but is this foolish us?I am laugh at the interview of Sam Firstenberg, the director, which was posted in this page's trivia. If he thought that he is the best director, I don't think so. He is just an "amateur" director. Bad arrangement of the story, some unreasonable scenes, and particularly the "kidslike" action scene. You put many of Ninja weapons in the movie, but only end in very silly way? I can guarantee that all of you will shocked when everything is over. Oh! Bring my money back!For the cast, Arthur Roberts was OK with his villain role, but Shô Kosugi failed. He had no look of the great protagonist, especially when he still think that "his friend" didn't betrayed him. How fool? However, I praised of Kane Kosugi due to his action ability and maybe this movie made him "the second protagonist" because he appeared in many scenes liked he was the main hero.I accept that Ninja has a very exclusive character and style. But if you didn't understand it so good, please don't think that you can pick it up and film it easily, because you are trying to "bullsh*t" the audience. Thus, I firmly think that we have other good Ninja movies to watch rather than Revenge of the Ninja.

ma-cortes This classic Ninja about practitioners of an ancient Oriental art of killing named Ninjitsu , wearing in black , using martial arts and diverse weapons , as Katana , deadly star (Ninkaisen), explosive balls...The exciting movie deals about Cho (Shô Kosugi , he personally crafted many of the weapons in the film) , when his family is murdered , he goes to America along with his son (Kane Kosugi) . There he puts a dolls-store , but his friend (Arthur Roberts) deceits him by means of drugs smuggling into the dolls . Then , a Ninja dedicates to human chase disguised in silvered mask . The Japanese Ninja , helped by a cop (Frye) , confronts enemies , mob , hoodlums (Professor Tanaka) and metes out his own justice when his son is abducted . The Ninjitsu fighter is possessed by the spirit of vengeance-seeking Ninja and only Sho Kosugi wipes out a passel of heinous villains and brings his bloody rampage to a moving final .This a violent and gripping story with plenty of noisy action and struggles in a comic-book style . It's a mindless but enjoyable for martial arts aficionados of the old style because the new technical are made by means of wires , cables and computer generator . The violence was dramatically cut for its original theatrical release which still garnered '18' certificates around the world . The unrated version of the film features an infamous blood splatter , one of the major reasons this version of the film is more popular . Shô Kosugi was adamant that Keith Vitali's character be killed to heighten the drama , director Sam Firstenberg agreed but nixed the idea that the character's hand be cut off during his dying scene . The film highlights are the fighting between the little boy named Kane against a group of children and a gorgeous woman ; the combat between the grandmother and a killer and Sho Kosugi fighting and wielding a fan , among them . The fights , thrills and lots of action and even some moments of unintentional humor make this movie worth seeing . The previous movie was ¨Enter the Ninja¨ (81) by Menahem Golan with Franco Nero , Menahem Golan was director of the first film , and was to direct this one also , but shortly before production was to start he decided to turn over directing chores to Sam Firstenberg . Golan did remain as producer , however and he came up with the films' opening prologue that adds more depth to the story . It was followed by ¨Ninja III , the domination¨ with Lucinda Dickey and again Sho Kosugi . The picture was well produced by Cannon -Golan and Globus- and rightly directed by Sam Firstenberg , being first "Ninja" film directed by Sam Firstenberg for Golan-Globus' . Sam's a low-grade expert on karate genre and Ninja sub-genre , such as he proved in ¨American Ninja¨ and sequels , and ¨Forced vengeance (82)¨ and ¨Avening force (1986)¨ with his usual actor Michael Dudikoff . Martial-art and Ninja films aficionados should enjoy it , because this Ninja entry is good of its type .

Innoculo I can't say I remember too much about the film except it has all the normal ninja stereotypes in it with lots of blood. If that is what you want that is what you'll get. Don't get me wrong, when I watch a ninja movie I'm not looking for Shakespeare. I'm looking for sword slashing, shrunken throwing and bear claws to the face fun. And maybe a few heads getting lopped off. It is what it is. The cool thing is how movies can bring back memories and I remember going to the movies with my mom and older brother and somehow convincing her that this particular movie was the one we were going to see. I'm not sure why she agreed to it and I'm sure she regretted it afterward as she is a conservative Christian woman. I was only 10 at the time and whining like crazy for us to see it. LOL I guess she thought, "It's about ninjas, how bad could it be!?" WRONG! This was the first rated R movie I saw in fact. All I have to say this movie is part of my life narrative now. Thanks Mom. I still remember the ending, but I won't spoil it for you.I'm probably one of the few people who actually saw this in a theater.
