Ninja III: The Domination....

[Dr.Kelvinstein]

Anyone besides me want to fess up to watching this thing (I'm looking at you, Avenger). In my opinion it's the Gone With The Wind Of horror ninja movies. Thank God for Cannon Films and those crazy Israeli schlockmeisters Golan and Globus for giving us more ninja movies than you can shake a sword at. Lucinda Dickey should've won an Oscar for this!!!!

And speaking of Lucinda Dickey, anyone ever see her in Cheerleader Camp with ultra-hotty Betsy Russell and porn star Terry Wiegel?? Cute little Lucinda played the team's mascot who dressed up like a dancing gator or some such nonsense and killed popular girls because she was too frumpy(!?!?) to make the team. It's most memorable as the movie Betsy DIDN'T show her breasts in. Whaz up with that?

Not horror, but while I'm on the subject of Ninja movies, anyone ever see American Ninja for the most absurd piece of ninja-fu committed to film? In the final fight with Dudkoff, the evil black ninja zaps lasers out of some gizmo strapped to his wrist. No explantion for this technology is given, of course. If lthe dude had a laser, why did he need to become a ninja in the first place????

Every time I go to the video store I run across Ninja III. Quite strangely, I have never seen the other two ninja films anywhere. I haven't seen this one Dr. K, but I know it has Sho Kosugi in it, so I probably should rent it sometime.

As for American Ninja. One of my favorite bad movies. Grew up with it. Wanted to BE the American Ninja. I mean, c'mon, he got to hang out with Steve James. Have you ever attempted to count the mistakes in that film? Great fun.

Did a little research on Ninja III and see that it was directed by Sam Firstenberg. He directed American Ninja 2, The Cyborg Cop films, and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Haha. Should be worth the rent.

[Dr.Kelvinstein]

Oh, it's beautiful, and Firstenberg is truly a moron. Lucinda Dickey also stars in the two Breakin' movies (shouldn't every sequel be called Electric Bugaloo?). And Ice T plays a hip, pastel-wearing, break-dancing DJ in the first one, which kinda makes his gangsta stuff suspect.

[avenger00soul]

Oh, I've seen the Breakin' movies plenty of times Dr. K. Gotta agree that Firstenberg is a tard. There's one scene in American Ninja 2 where they are just having a conversation and Dudikoff's stand-in is playing his part. WTF!!! Biggest goof in the history of goofs.

I have to say that I loved all of the ninja movies Enter The Ninja , Revenge Of The Ninja and Ninja 3 TD also Pray For Death and 9 Deaths Of The Ninja. Sho Kosugi was the premier ninja icon of the 80's. I personally loved Enter The Ninja best it just had a crazy story line, wish I could find it on dvd but the Revenge Of The Ninja is the most commonly known and you can find it on dvd pretty easily with some of Sho's later movies. There was a ton of other ninja b movies in the 80's also.
