Movie Reviews of Revenge of the Ninja
Movie Review: WHY !!!
Summary: 3 Stars
This and Rage Of Honor are good Ninja movies, Cheesed action packed and looks clean and crisp but why did MGM release the two Ninja flicks in full screen! Lazy maybe? It makes the fight scenes look cluttered. Well TV widscreen is the way of the future so I think I'll pass this edition and hope a widescreen version is released, I'll rent it, or just buy some Japanese import of the movie. Thanks for nothing MGM!Movie Review: The Ninja Returns

Great movie with a lot of action.I was disappointed that the DVD had nothing in the way of deleted scenes.Movie Review: Bad..Bad..Bad
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, I just finished watching this movie, and let me tell you that it is really BAD.
I mean i like Ninja and martial art movies, i also remember watching Ninja 3 the domination about 6-7 years back, and i remember that it was a great ninja movie. But this piece of crap is a total waste of time.
I have been reading some of the reviews posted here, and im quit surprised by the number of positive reviews for it, i mean what is positive about this film ?..let me answer that..NOTHING !
It has poor acting, one of the worst acting i have ever seen, from the silly Mafia boss to the lame old japanese lady ( sho's Mom ), im not sure if these actors need to be paid, and im not sure if we can call them actors.
However, Sho does an acceptable job, Not bad !
It also has bad and poor fight scenes, the fights were slow, silly and most of the times you can't tell whats happening. they were also fake, its quit clear that Sho is not hitting his enemies, poor stunt performance,
And the editing of the film was also bad and poorly done, the film editing just jumps quickly from scene to scene.
I only gave this film 2 stars because of the hot blonde girl (cathy), and because the effort of Sho trying to make something out of it.
My advice to you guys is to stay away from this movie, Do'nt waste time nor money in watching this crap, if you want a really cool movie, just stick to Ninja 3 the domination, or go watch 3 Ninjas(kids movie) which was better than this awful movie.
I just can't wait for Ninja 3 to be realesed on DVD.

What a car wreck of a movie! It's so bad you can't help but to watch it. Another film with the Golan-Globus seal of quality! Yeesh!! Nobody can act in this film except the kid, who outdoes everybody! Painful dialogue, lousy production values and Salt Lake City, Utah standing in for Los Angeles. Think of this film as a showcase for the wide array of ninja weaponry/gadgets shown and used and it's sort of worth your time. Expect any more than that and you will be sorely dissappointed. Real 80's cheese at it's best (or is it worst?). The gangbangers look like rejects from a Village People audition! Was this supposed to look menacing back then??! This film, however, did start a ninja craze back in the 80's and was popular enough for ninjitsu master (and star), Sho Kushugi, to make several more films (most went straight to video), and appear in a TV series (The Master, starring Lee Van Cleef as a ninja! Sho was his ninja arch enemy and made several appearances in the show). All this being said, I was impressed with the video quality of this dvd. The video is so sharp and clear that if it wasn't for the cars and clothes that gave away the true age, you would've sworn they just shot the film yesterday! It's not letterboxed, which is a shame, but since this plays like a bad made-for-cable-tv movie, it fits the full-screen format very well. If you're a ninja fan or want the nostalgia trip of seeing this film again (I hadn't seen it since I saw it in theaters as a teenager way back when), you might have fun with it. Everybody else, stay far away...!Movie Review: was not worth the wait.

this is one of my favorite films of all time and the only good ninja movie, until Christopher Lambert made "The Hunted". i had been waiting years for "Revenge..." to be put on DVD, but am very disappointed. regardlees of the unavoidable campiness that comes with action movies that have low budgets, Kosugi's character is very interesting. it reminds me of Pacino's "Michael Corleone" being pulled back into his life of crime in "Godfather 3". "revenge of the ninja" is most definitely a classic. unfortunately, this DVD is not worth buying because it only has the Full screen version and no extras. unless you simply enjoy having it on DVD, you may as well stick with the VHS. you get exactly the same thing, but without the fancy technology. i don't know if this film was shot in widescreen or not, but personally, the full vision (widescreen) is the only reason to go with DVD. as film is a visual medium, the photography is just as important if not more so in any well made film. it's like trying to read a novel that has had every other page torn out.
