- DIRECTOR:
John Liu (originally) and Kurtis M. Spieler (re-director)
- ACTORS:
John Liu and voices by Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Linnea Quigley, Vince Murdocco, Leon Isaac Kennedy, Cynthia Rothrock, Matt Mitler, and Michael Berryman
- PLOT:
After a pregnant woman is killed by a street gang (the first of the film's many victimized women), the grieving husband becomes a ninja vigilante who ends up being pitted against the diabolical Plutonium Killer.
- EVALUATION:
The film's backstory, namely that the original footage was found, redubbed, and edited into a semi-coherent movie 37 years after it was originally recorded, is much more interesting than everything that actually happens onscreen.
- WRITING:
Seemingly based on guesswork and lip-reading?
- FILMING:
As advertised, it was actually filmed in New York.
- BEST PART:
Either the promise that "The ninja will return in L.A. Ninja" or the post-film ninja rap.
- TRIVIA:
Apparently the only surviving script refers to a Detective Dolemite, which suggests that Rudy Ray Moore could have been envisioned as having a supporting role.
- STINGER:
Plutonium Killer casually asking "Is that a bomb?" right before his helicopter explodes.
