The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
Ninja from 2009 feels to me like a story that has been told and retold already. Basically, there’s this American Guy, who was taken care of by a Japanese Dojo, och School, or whatever you like to call it. He’s more or less been orphaned and becomes like a son to the owner/father figure of the story. There’s also the Japanese man who also feels like a son but falls into disgrace and is eventually...
I was still in my youth when I first saw this film and at first I thought it was horrible! I really liked one ninja flick and that was Ninja III: The Domination. The need to compare all other ninja flicks to that one was imminent. It wasn’t until later that I understood that not all ninja flicks deal with supernatural powers. In fact, very few of them do. Enter the Ninja is really one...
Ninja Dragon seems to be the left overs from some other ninja flick done in the same era. Richard Harrisson looks exactly the way he did in Ninja Terminator and there’s not much plot in this one. Actually there’s not much “ninja” either. There is a few scenes where they fight each other but for the most part this is more like a regular crime thriller. It’s dubbed of course but I don’t care about...
I have watched a lot of Ninja films lately. They’re often great fun even if they’re badly choreographed and dubbed even worse. That reflects on the grades of course and I haven’t been kind in my judgment. I’m actually very cheap when it comes to grades so that figures. Ninja Terminator is another Ninja flick that I saw the other day. It’s much more serious than a lot of the others but not without humor....
It didn’t come as a surprise that The Ninja Squad was one hell of a cheap movie! To be honest, all movies from Hollywood DVD are cheap films. There are very entertaining though. If you like trash cinema you should stick to this company. I’m a bit confused. Not by the movie but by my own preferences. I like trash movies and I adore turkeys but at the same time, I seldom rate them very...
There are several issues with this Ninja flick. First of all, there is a battle going on between the golden ninja clan (or something like that) and the red ninjas. The problem is that I only remember the red ninja. Second, it’s far too comedic. A comedy ninja flick is kind of a contradiction in my mind. Of course, we have flicks like Beverly Hills Ninja with Chris Farley. But that’s a comedy first and...
The thing about referring to Sho Kosugi as a ninja on the cover is of course a way to market the movie. It’s the same for me. I mention Sho Kosugi and Ninja in the same sentence to try to get your attention. Did I succeed? The fact is that this movie has very little to do with ninjas as I see it. There is the occasional throwing star but that’s about it. There is...
The first film I ever saw with Sho Kosugi was a flick called Ninja III – The Domination. The VHS copy was a fourth or fifth-generation copy so the quality was pretty messed up (the Blu-ray edition is now among my belongings). I liked the story though and I have been hooked on Ninja flicks ever since. Not that I have many in my collection but I’m in no hurry. The Other day I got...
