Ok..... I was on netflicks.com looking for Pray for Death (the ninja movie starring Sho Kosugi) and when I typed in the key words "pray for death", this 4 disc horror movie boxed set appears, the cover of which displayed a skull on a redish background with the words "4 movies" in the upper right-hand corner of the cover. It described a 4 disc horror movie boxed set that had nothing to do with ninjas.......now....... I come here looking for the original "Pray for Death" (ninja movie) and even here it shows the same horror movie cover with the skull, yet the synopsis write-up describes the Ninja movie "pray for death" I was looking for. WHAT IS THE DEAL HERE?!? As I recall when I was a teenager having seen this movie, the front cover of the movie had a close-up pic of Sho Kosugi wearing his ninja armored helmet holding a sword blade infront of his face with the words "PRAY FOR DEATH" just underneath the blade. NOW, WHY IN THE HELL CANT I FIND THIS MOVIE ON DVD ON NETFLICKS.COM??? WHICH MOVIE ARE THEY ADVERTISING HERE, THE 4 DISC HORROR MOVIE BOXED DVD SET OR THE NINJA MOVIE STARRING SHO KOSUGI!!!???

All the info in this section is for the Sho Kosugi movie of Pray for death.

Some idiot has put the cover art on here for the 4 movie horror dvd that has been out for ages.

I tried to change it but I had to subscribe or something so I didn't bother.

The proper movie of Pray For Death with Sho Kosugi still isn't available on DVD yet. The ones on Ebay are obviously copies of VHS Versions. Be careful if you buy any of these because I bought an old copy of Pray for Death from America and it was heavily edited. The information on the MPAA website clarifies this.

With Return of the Ninja being made this year theres a strong possibility that Pray for Death, along with Enter the Ninja and Ninja III will be released on DVD to use the new publicity for Ninja films.

Hopefully, MGM do release more movies on DVD from the Cannon library they acquired. Enter The Ninja and Ninja III: The Domination are overdue for a DVD release. I'm not sure if they purchased the distribution rights to Pray for Death as it was made by another film studio and not Cannon Films.
