Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Leofwine_draca NINJA WOLVES is a somewhat slapdash and cheap Taiwanese martial arts flick with a political backdrop. Unusually for the genre, the Japanese aren't the bad guys here, but rather ambassadors who have been betrayed by Chang Yi's corrupt eunuch, who has been stealing gold tributes destined for the Chinese emperor. The hero of the piece is none other than Shaw Brothers actor Yueh Hua, moonlighting on the cheap and wearing a pretty cool wig, it has to be said. Eddy Ko has a small role too. Although the story is nothing special here, there's plenty of wuxia-style staged action sequences, and it moves at a tidy pace.

ckormos1 The movie starts with exposition from a narrator setting up the historical context of the fall of the last Chinese dynasty and the Japanese. Chang Yi plays the corrupt eunuch who misappropriates tribute from the Japanese meant for the emperor. Yueh Hua and Chan Muk-Chuen play Japanese martial arts experts. The original title "A Pretended Rebel" is a bit of a spoiler as to what is really going on. The alternate titles with "wolf" or "ninja" are obvious bait for the old VHS rental business that kept so many of these old martial arts movies from vanishing into film dust particles. My copy is a digital file from an Ocean Shores VHS. It is English dubbed. Some of these 1970s movies were actually made unwatchable by horrible voice actors. This movie used the "A team" of voice actors though I don't know their names I recognize their voices. The movie runs long at over one hour and fifty one minutes and could easily have been trimmed down to ninety minutes just by cutting out a lot of walking across the frame. The pacing of the action also suffers and worse the action is just not good enough for 1979 standards. The characters are also unlikeable with too much focus on the bad deeds. Overall I rate it below average and only suitable for hard core completists.
