Very best movie i ever watch
Moustroll
Good movie but grossly overrated
Humaira Grant
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I'm pretty sure that Godfrey Ho is from outer space. His ninja movies are so utterly WRONG in every way that the only explanation must be that a being from Jupiter or wherever has taking a liking to martial arts films and thought to itself 'You know, I'm gonna try my hand at this, and no one will ever know the difference'. Well, I know Godfrey...I know. Only a being with a passing knowledge of human life could create a film like this. And while I'm on the subject I reckon Bruno Mattei may have been from the same planet.Ninja Squad may not be as insane as Ninja Terminator or Golden Ninja Warrior, but it tries. First off - the ninja story. Ivan the Red is trying to goad Richard Harrison into fighting for supreme ninja power or something, but Richard's busy picking a new carpet, so instead Ivan goes off killing other ninjas and stealing their special issue Ninja headbands. That's the ninja story.The other story involves Billy, who has been trained in Ultimate Ninja Technique, returning home to take on the mob who are harrassing his mother and possible his sister. That's the Billy story. Sadly, Billy's story is boring. Cheerily, the dubbing actually surpasses the other ninja movies I've mentioned. It's appears to me that it was dubbed live by folks who had no idea what was happening on screen. It has to be seen to be believed. For instance, someone approaches Billy and says 'I know where they're keeping your sister', and five minutes later someone else appears and say 'You sister has been kidnapped'...guh? As the ninja antics are more run of the mill than usual (although the acting is outstanding...ly bad), the dubbing is all this ninja movie has going for it. The weakest of the ninja flicks I've watched so far. I've got another five or six to go - bye bye brain cells!

Richard Harrison returns once again (albeit unwittingly if you know the history behind these films) as a ninja master yet again named Gordon (but ostensibly not the same character in each film)At the inception of the movie we see Gordon training a young student named Billy in the ancient warrior art and explaining to him it's historical origins. The film then inexplicably jumps forward in time some years to when Billy is grown up (and strangely sporting an Australian accent!) and has returned to his native home (The Phillipines?) where he manages to get on the wrong side of a gang of heavies and their vicious boss who are extorting money from the villagers amongst other criminal activities.If you're familiar with the 'Cut and Paste' 'Masterpieces' synonymous with the names of director Godfrey Ho and producer Joseph Lai then you'll know exactly what to expect here.The segments showing the 'grown up' Billy in this film are in fact footage taken from a completely separate film with the newer footage of Harrison's character and the other ninjas spliced into it at irregular intervals.Anyway, back to the 'plot' at hand....Whilst Billy is experiencing problems involving the gangsters, Gordon is having some trouble of his own in the form of an evil Ninja calling himself Ivan the Red (Dave Wheeler) whose aim is to challenge Gordon to combat in order to prove his fighting supremacy and to wrest the supreme 'ninja power' from him. When Gordon initially refuses to participate in any such confrontation Ivan resorts to challenging and subsequently killing other ninja in order to goad Gordon into battle.Having dispatched of each opponent Ivan removes their (rather crappy) Ninja headbands which he then sends to Gordon as proof of his kill (although I've seen exactly the same crappy Ninja Headbands for sale for about £2.00 in martial arts shops so he might as well have bought a few from there and saved himself some hassle)Finally Gordon is forced to accept the challenge to stop the bloodshed (although as per usual with these films despite ninja being sliced/stabbed etc there is not one drop of the red stuff in sight!!!) I'm sure that you can guess the final outcome. What can I say about this film?Well the acting/dubbing is atrocious and to call the link between the ninja footage and the footage involving the character of Billy as tenuous would be overly complimentary (it's completely none existent!)....so in other words it's all brilliant fun! If (like me) you are into bad movies then you'll no doubt be able to derive a good laugh from this one.The fight scenes are especially energetic here with lot's of flips and acrobatics and oh, did I mention that our hero wears a pink ninja uniform? Hmmmm intriguing indeed.....

This has to be one of the most hilarious films I have ever watched. It consists of two stories - Billy the Ninja has to battle some gangsters, while Gordon the Ninja has to defeat some other ninja who wants to kill every other ninja to prove he's the best. There is a lot of "ninja" in this film. Highlights included the fantastic Ninja headbands (all ninjas need a headband that announces their ninja status), the ninja shell suits, the urban cameo ninja and the screamingly funny dialogue - "Bully, what are you going to do about work? I don't think your ninja skills will help you find a job." Ah yes, a common problem for young ninjas. I think this film would be best viewed while drunk.

This film is one of Richard Harrison's (blonde Ninja) "just add Ninja" films - where some money minded martial artists buy an incomplete Asian martial arts film then add some extra ninja scenes and sell it to us saps in the west. But i gota admit THIS FILM IS FUNNY and your kind of glad when billy dies...Check out Richard Harrison's Biography(on this site) for a very interesting tale.Also of interest is the film " Golden Ninja Warrior" not to be confused with "Ninja Terminator", in fact watch all three of these films and you can actually see the change from all action Ninja films to disturbingly misogynistic exploitation. And that some people just don't learn from their mistakes.
