First some quick background on the movie, Godfrey Ho took an older movie and spliced additional footage of his own featuring z-actor Richard Harrison. The original movie involved a cop and (an unnecessarily violent) insurance agent investigating a robbery involving mafia types. The new movie has the same premise only with ninjas! Secret ninjas to be precise.
The big question is how do you rate a movie like this? By any scientific look at the movie you’d have to give it a 1 star. There’s a scattershot plot with no continuity between scenes with ninja madness sprinkled in just for kicks. But that’s what makes this movie so great. It’s the quintessential “so bad it’s good” movie. I don’t want to give away any detail of this movie. If any one decides to rent this movie based on this review, it would be best to go in with a clean, clueless state of the absurdity to come. All I’ll say is Harrison is the head of “Serious Crimes Division” and apparently a serious crime in this movie is selling weed on the corner.
The fighting, for the most part is horrible, though the penultimate one shines through. The cop and insurance agent battle the mob boss in a prolonged and frantic battle. The final fight involves ninjas and is hilariously awful.
I’d recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys absurdly bad movies. Word of warning though, there’s a couple incredibly raunchy (and appropriately random) sex scenes.
