I remember this show when I was 14 and thought it was cool. I remeber wanting to buy a throwing star after this show came out.

I hope it comes to DVD soon.

I bought all 13 episodes on 2 dvds on ebay. Some guy imports them from some place in Norway and burns them on dvds.

In Australia a number of episodes have tunred up on DVD in random, presumably public domain releases.

Officially in North America, only the first two episodes are on DVD. Or it's just the edited together movie version of the two episodes, Master Ninja I. And I don't mean the MST3K version is on DVD.

Since that last post, both MST3K episodes, Master Ninja I and II have been released as part of Volume XX. I'll definitely watch them via Netflix streaming soon.

There's no "I" in team, but there is an "m" and an "e."

And an interesting flaw in the legal system, apparently the movie rights are different from the actual TV show rights. And due to lack of interest, Shout Factory won't release the later "movies" on DVD. Shame, because the show isn't too bad.

I found the DVD of the first two episodes at a thrift store recently. I'm amazed I found it. And after all these years.

The DVD deliberately merges the plots of the two episodes for the back of the cover, even saying Demi Moore plays Lee Van Cleef's daughter who is kidnapped. She is not playing John Peter McAllister's daughter of course. That character never actually showed up in the series. They even refer to Timothy Van Patten on the credits display as Vince Van Patten.
