Movie Reviews of Revenge of the Ninja
Movie Review: My Big Wish Came True of UNCUT VERSION!
Summary: 5 Stars
About 2-3years ago, I wrote a review that helped four out of five people, and one who e-mailed me back personally. These people didn't realize that there were extra gore scenes cut out and a big scene that was cut out towards the end. I have the 35mm trailer of the film, And I was very happy that MGM put the original trailer on there. Now if MGM could start doing original movie poster artwork for their films, because the original poster art for this film is excellent.
This is the ultimate Ninja film of the 80's, and now you can see it in it's full glory with every scene intact.
A friend of mine has put up a neat Yahoo Group Site of Movie Trailers and T.V. Spots that I'm helping him with. I am making a special section of showing screenshots of the extra footage only in the original movie trailer of Revenge Of The Ninja. It's too bad those scenes couldn't of been added to the final cut of the film, but at least you get to see a glimpse of the trailer.
I would encourage anybody who's a Ninja fan or Martial Arts Fan, to buy this terrific movie, and Amazon gives it a tremendous price for the DVD.
And Drop by to visit the group site ...
Movie Review: Is this the start of a "Ninja" trilogy????
Summary: 5 Stars
For years, fans had to satisfy their Sho Kosugi DVD craving with 9 Deaths of the Ninja and Black Eagle (UGH!). But that has all changed! FINALLY, Revenge of the Ninja is on the verge of being released on DVD!! By far the best Sho movie out there, Revenge of the Ninja dazzles us with the mystique and ingenuity of ninjitsu. Let's face it, this movie is what inspired all 80's teens to buy tabi boots and throwing stars!As for the movie itself, the B-rated acting is easily overlooked thanks to the ninja choreography of Sho Kosugi. Fantastic fight scenes and a vast array of ninja weapons keeps the audience entertained, all the way through the climatic rooftop fight scene.
If you are new to Sho Kosugi and the ninja film genre, this is a great place to get started. And keep your eyes open for the Grandma Ninja flip-across-the-room scene...it's great!!
Movie Review: best ninja movie there is
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite ninja movie and I'm very excited about it coming to dvd. The fight scenes are very good and entertaining. Sho Kosugi is the real deal and obviously has studied ninjitsu. As much as I like this movie, it's not perfect. There are some scenes that defy credulity such as when the bad ninja places dummy ninjas in certain areas when he couldn't have possibly brought them with him or when he pulls out his flame thrower. If you can overlook these minor flaws, you'll really enjoy this movie if you like campy, martial arts movies. As a bonus, the supporting actress, Ashley Ferrare, is very good and fun to watch. The plot is pretty standard except for the fun twist of pitting the mob vs. ninja (guess who wins that one!). All of the acting is better than it should be and the fight scenes excellently choregraphed. Highly recommend!Movie Review: The spirit of the Ninja lives!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a ninja classic and an excellent revenge movie. Sho Kosugi is obviously a very accomplished martial artist and the fight scenes are well choreographed.
The hand to hand combat, however, does not look like ninjitsu. I believe Kosugi san is demonstrating his skill in karate but it is unfortunate he could not have demonstrated more actual, ninjitsu techniques. He is much better at demonstrating ninjitsu with the various weapons.
However, the best feature of this film is that it portrays the budo spirit very well and Sho is believable as a ninja. As much of knowledge of actual ninjas has been lost, we are left guessing at what they actually were like as fighters and people but something in Sho's portrayal rings true.
I highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in martial arts.
Movie Review: Owners of the VHS version of this film take note!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the newer VHS copies of the 3 movies in this series back in 2000, so when this dvd was released I saw that it was still in standard format and passed. Today I ended up watching the dvd and was shocked to discover that the VHS copy contained an edited version of the film with MUCH less gore. When watching my tapes I had thought that I remembered there being a bit more to some of the kills but had attributed that to simply being false memories from my childhood. Now I see that I was correct in my suspicions.
If you're a fan of this series of films that passed on this DVD for the same reason as I did, this is a definite must purchase disc! Now if only they'd release NINJA III on dvd.
(note: this is only in reference to the newer vhs version of this film featuring the same cover design as the dvd)
