This is absolutely a bad movie, and thats why its GOOD!! A Must See!


The opening scene is Sho Kosugi in a pink room with soft lighting weilding his sword around while dancers in leotards prance around him. I almost spit my drink out seeing this it was so funny. This movie was obviously meant to be cheesy, it is over the top, unrealistic, absolutely hilarious props and editing. On many a scene, you will catch the actors laughing at the lines they are saying. Just imagine a movie that gives Sho Kosugi the nickname 'Lolipop'!! The character Jennifer Barnes is clearly stoned throughout the movie, and eludes to this in multiple scenes. The character Steve Gordon snickers at his cheesy one liners after he says them! They just dont make movies like this anymore. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to those with a sense of humor, and fine purveyors of cheese.

i remember watching this at a friend's birthday party when i was 11, during the height of the ninja craze. i think we all spent more time laughing at the film than being amazed by it. i think i'd watch it again, 20 odd years later just to remind myself of how cheesy it is.

I really love this movie. It's one of the best from the 80's and I am not being sarcastic. Oh and that blonde woman was INSANELY BEUTIFUL, MY GOD!!!

Long live Kosugi!
