This movie was a staple of my childhood. In the eighties every kid wanted to be a ninja running around with a sword, thorwing stars and a pair of nunchuks. I have many sentimental memories of this movie. But that was all ruined when I watched it again recently. God this movie sucks. If it wasn't for the fact that it had the word Ninja in the title I probably never would have seen it. The acting was horrible and the story was bad. It's your standard low budget 80's action flick. I saw alot of these and I know what I'm talking about. It's like any of Jean-Claude Van Damme's action movies, except it's low budget with less story and acting in it. And Michael Dudikoff's last name has the word doody in it. An apt description.
That is too funny! What a great review!
