Ninja Terminator [DVD]

This film is so bad, so very very bad, that its great. I was laughing my head off all the way through it, its funnier than the opening sequence of `Black Belt Jones' and thats pretty hard to beat.It must have been made on a budget of roughly 25p, they couldnt even afford to hire asian actors for two of the ninja leaders! Some of the long shots of `Hong Kong' are actually of a MODEL, yes they couldnt be bothered to get real footage, they built a rubbish model. I think most of the budget went on watermelons, which get chopped up a lot with swords.However the best bits are the ridiculous props, my favorite has to be the Garfield phone used by one of the Caucasian "ninjas" its eyes open when he answers it. I mean wtf?! What kind of ninja has a Garfield phone?! And then you have the wind up toy robot (about 3 inches high) that delivers warnings in a booming voice, but cant walk more than about 2 foot before it gets stuck on the carpet or something.The actual fight scenes are mildly amusing, I've seen worse ones, but for the sheer comedy value of this film you cant beat it.

If you've found this then you probably know something about this film.It's exactly the film your workmate told you about... dudes wearing pyjamas, rolling around pretending to be ninjas... badly.It's funny in a way modern comedy films could never hope to be.

These ninja films are quite old but having said that there is always the expression "old films are much better than new" unfortunately this is not as good as I expected. The first film Golden Ninja Warrior lacks a storyline but the ninja fight scenes are very silly because they are not convincing in any way. If you watched this film when it was first released then maybe you would have believed the silly ninja transform scenes. However the dvd is saved thanks to the second ninja film Ninja Terminator. Although this second film also lacks in plot, the fight scenes are better, thanks to two legendary stars Jack Lam and "silver fox" Hwang Cheng Lee. Overall not bad but it could have improved.

So bad it is brilliant I nearly weed my self laughing if you love old nija movies you will love this, Dont let the 50p budget put you off

There isn't really a way to do this film justice in words. Every little detail makes for unintentional hilarity. It has to be seen to be believed.

Cinematic Masterpiece

Godfrey Ho serves up this classic ninja film. The kung fu is actually really good. The dubbing is hilarious and the film is so silly it makes my sides ache. This film is crazy and serves up the legendary Hwang jang Lee in a blonde woman's wig, menacing little toy robots with booming voices, magic vanishing and appearing ninjas, exploding squash balls and much more with Richard Harrison in his camouflaged ninja costume. Hilarious and entertaining. Buy it now!!!!

A golden ninja statue is stolen from the last secret ninja clan, by some other ninjas!?! Apparently this ugly, cheap looking statue is magic and has the ability to turn its ninja owner into an invincible fighting machine. The statue is split up into three parts with Ninja Master Gordon...err Harry, (Richard Harrison) getting one part, and the others going to his ninja acquaintances.But when the baddies kill one of his friends and steal back part of the magic statue, Ninja Master Gordon is left with no alternative other than to send in his best man Jaguar, to get it back. Especially as the baddies are now closing in on Ninja Master Gordon...Another Godfrey Ho 'ninja' opus hits our screens, with all the usual madness we have come to expect. The story is total lunacy, the effects are poor, I mean really poor, and the dialogue is unforgivable...........But wait..........., because at least this has action footage stolen from a proper Korean kung fu film!! ('Stafferyui bulcheonggaek' AKA: Uninvited Guest) In which we actually see the likes of Hwang Jang Lee (albeit he seems to have stolen Lady Penelope's wig!!!!!) and Lam Chi Foo face off in some okay chop socky punch ups.And in spite of it's shortcomings this is actually a hell of a lot of fun, and given the right level of medication, there is a lot of hilarity too be had with its sensational displays of:-Shurikens being thrown into live crabs; teleporting ninjas wearing black eyeliner, battling to the death in super speeded up fight sequences; slimy, unerotic sex scenes; state~of~the~art, talking, robot ninja death messengers ~ which are in reality, cheap pound shop toy robots, and finally, jaw dropping dialogue which includes lines like "A last cigarette? Mwahahaha, well I guess so, as it's unlikely you'll catch lung cancer, before I kill you!"If you like films that are SO BAD they're unintentionally funny, then be my guest, as these are absolutely chock full of crazy delights.And a great deal of fun can be had from trying to guess what sound bites/riff/piece of music, has been robbed (often unashamedly, from big Hollywood blockbusters) from where.Needless to say I will be reviewing more of these in time, in the hope that my sacrifice will be enough to warn you of their mind bending dangers. A thankless task, I am sure. The cheapo Brit 'Hollywood' release dvds seem to be uncut these days, with the missing footage restored.3.5/5 This is one of the better ones.
