Sam Peckinpah?one of the greatest action filmmakers of all time, made a ninja movie?! With James Caan, Robert Duvall and Burt Young?!! For action junkies it sounds too good to be true... and unfortunately it is. This fairly by-the-numbers thriller about a team of veteran mercenaries protecting a Japanese diplomat doesn't rate as one of the legendar...
Nobody did more to make ninja a fixture of video store shelves in the '80s (but also targets of ridicule and parody) than enigmatic Hong Kong producer/director Godfrey Ho, believed to have been behind over 80 films between 1980 and 1990 under a litany of assumed names, including Godfrey Hall, Benny Ho, Ho Chi-Mou, Ed Woo, Stanley Chan, Ho Fong and ...
Here it is: The only remotely good movie starring Chuck Norris where the future Walker: Texas Ranger star and Bowflex pitchman isn't getting smacked around The Colosseum by Bruce Lee. Given that he transitioned almost immediately away from martial-arts films to gunplay-heavy fare once the Rambo-imitator era hit, it's easy to forget just how novel N...
Believe it or not, Japanese pop-culture remains less consistently fascinated with ninja than the West, and especially neighboring China, but the subject enjoys intermittent bouts of public fascination, particularly in the realm of manga, anime, and historical-fantasy novels. Shinobi: Heart Under Blade is an adaptation of one such novel, Futaro Yama...
The aforementioned Godfrey Ho has at least 115 known films to his credit, so don't be too surprised to see him turn up on this list twice. Ninja Terminatoris often regarded as Ho's "best" ninja movie and is certainly the most quintessential, as it features some of the best action (thanks largely to underused martial arts actor Richard Lam) the most...
When low-budget ninja movies were at peak popularity in the U.S., Japanese actor and martial-artist Sho Kosugi shot to B-movie stardom on the basis of memorable appearances in Canon Films' so-called "Ninja Trilogy" (Enter The Ninja, Revenge of The Ninja andNinja III: The Domination) and being a "real-life" ninja...in as much as he's reputed to have...
Keita Amemiya, the director/fantasy-artist/FX-supervisor/designer sometimes called "the H.R. Giger of Japan," is best known for directing and character-design duties on various Kamen Rider and Super Sentai (akaPower Rangers)series. Amemiya first made his name with this bizarre theatrical sci-fi feature intended to launch a franchise for Namco. Cent...
Canon Films followed their moneymaking B-grade ninja hits Enter The Ninja andRevenge of The Ninjawith this third "spiritual sequel" in a series unified only by the presence of Sho Kosugi in (unrelated) supporting roles. This is the strangest of the three, and therefore widely considered to be the "best" of the lot. A bizarre mash-up of ninja and ex...
One of the all-time great ninja-centric action movies and easily one of the best original James Bondfilms...if you can manage to look past all the incredibly uncomfortable (even by James Bond standards) racism — which is easier said than done in a film whose central plot element is that Sean Connery can "become Japanese" with some skin-darkening ma...
Whatever the other merits of the myriad of TMNT adaptations that have graced screens over the years, the first live-action film stands out against all odds as a genuinely solid action feature that has no Earthly business holding up as well as it does. A lot of that has to do with a strong aesthetic decision to ground the narrative in the gritty urb...
