The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

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!

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.

Better than the original one, Enter The Ninja. It's the same story and was also made by the Cannon group but this was campy. If you just thought it couldn't get any worser well, here you have it. Ever seen a granny ninja? Or gratuitous violence toward a ninja kid? The use of cheap effects are in full glory to watch, throwing stars flying into faces, nails in heads, nudity for no reason at all, but we liked it! Or have a look when a girl appears in a red robe forgotten to put a trouser on, but she's fighting nevertheless. It's so typical eighties, look at the clothes, look at village people at a playground...It's more bloodier than Enter The Ninja but it is really campy at sometimes. Only for the freaks of eighties smut.

Revenge! Ninjas! And the best use of caltrops and marbles as an attack method I have ever witnessed. This little 80s gem from the illustrious Cannon Group starts out with a brutal and never explained slaughter of a man's family by ninjas, who are then easily defeated with guns. Interestingly (or not), the ninjas in another Shô Kosugi movie are easily mowed down by bullets. Only his son and mystical mother survive to move to Utah.. er.. Los Angeles to unwittingly open up a heroin den/fancy doll shop.After that, the plot can best be described as:"Where's my money?""Put on some pants!""You'll get your money!""Get that kid!""Get that old woman!""Send in the Village People!""He killed my mother! Where's my son?"I never could quite figure out why the white man ninja was so angry at the drug dealer who was going to get the money for the heroin dolls (new from Mattel), and why he needed a Japanese ninja to sell dolls filled with heroin to the drug dealer. Or why the smoke bombs never worked properly for anybody but the old woman ninja. Or why I ate so many pancakes before starting this movie.The end of this movie features one of the longest, most realistic fights I have seen between two ninjas. By realistic, I mean they looked like they were really fighting: no wires, no special moves, kind of clumsy and slow. I guess it's what fighting really looks like, but it isn't that much fun to watch.Although this 2nd in the completely unrelated ninja trilogy (Enter the Ninja and Ninja III: The Domination) contains a ridiculous amount of fighting and a few odd nudities, the convoluted plot and terrible acting make it a little hard to watch near the end.By the way, Wikipedia lists guns and land mines as ninja weapons. I am now ready to start ninja training.
