BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
brian nielsen For Fans of bad movies, Amazon Prime is a gold mine. The vast majority of the selections go from the ridiculous to the redonkulous, including Bloodlock, Breeders, and Night of the Demon (a personal favorite). I added Lethal Ninja to my watchlist hoping for the David Heavener vehicle featured on Best of the Worst. It wasn't. Oh Lordy it wasn't. I was roughly five minutes into it when I heard my doorbell ring. I thought it was the ringing in my head (watch the movie and you'll understand), but it persisted. I opened the door, and there stood Miss Watson exclaiming "Face it, tiger! You just hit the jackpot." Oh yes. Oh yes. Oh Hell yes! If Amazon Prime is a schlock mine, I just hit the motherlode.Two "actors" pretending to be Michael Dudikoff and Steve James go to Africa(?) to rescue not-Michael's wife from the clutches of Dr. Evil if he were played by the child of Sigfreid and Roy. Instead of going "plot point" by "plot point", I think I'll just state what the "film" has going for it.A Fake Nostradamus prophecy about a savior from the east, who comes from the west.A ninja who feels it necessary to teach people how to breathe. It's difficult, I know.The most effeminate yet clichéd villain I've ever seen, down to the monocle and black cigarette holder.The Carousel of Carnage.A song that reminded my of my acid reflux disease.The Roller Derby of Death. Should this film ever catch on, this scene will be up there with the popcorn scene in Troll 2 and the horny nurse scene in Samurai Cop. It's that incomprehensible.A hapless ninja who get belted in the face with the backblast from a rocket launcher. Not intentionally.The Waterslide of Slaughter.Acting that can best be described as a cry for help.So much non-medy that Rich Evans will kill himself.Lastly, a plot that's harder to follow than Miami Connection.Lethal Ninja is amazing. I just watched it, and it's already one of my favorite bad movies. I wanted to give it ten stars, but I thought that would be misleading, so it's bottomed out. Just like the alcoholics who made this.
gridoon2018 Silly me, I thought ninjas could fight! Well, not according to this movie: the two leads (who are NOT ninjas) have about as much trouble taking them out as they would have with random people picked from the streets. They are so clueless and out-of-tune with their surroundings, in fact, that you can easily sneak up on them and twist their necks (aren't ninjas usually supposed to be the ones DOING that, instead of having it done TO them?). No wonder the bad guy says at one point "they've made a mockery of my men" - his men are his private ninja army, who are practically good for nothing, except rollerskating! There is one half-decent fight scene somewhere around the middle, against the only ninja who at least tries to put up some sort of fight; the rest of the fights are forgettable, and often poorly edited. The entire film is utterly forgettable, but some of the stunts are worthy of respect, so I'll be generous and give it *1/2 out of 4.
Rautus I bought Lethal Ninja in a buy one get one free offer when I bought the Ninja Terminator/ Ninja Dragon double disc, Lethal Ninja isn't a great movie but it is alright. The film is low budget but some of the action pretty cool, one scene that is kind of funny is seeing the Ninja's roller blading around the main hero Joe and then he just beats some of them up as they try to attack him, the box says "From the makers of American Ninja" so that made me more interested in seeing Lethal Ninja. The plot sees the main hero's wife trying to figure what's made the water go bad when suddenly her colleges are killed by a group of Ninja's, she's then taken away meanwhile her husband Joe is training some kids when suddenly he's told his wife has been kidnapped so with the help of his friend they go off to rescue her. Lethal Ninja is a pretty good Ninja movie that should be seen with a group of friends. Check it out.
Retrofunkdaddy This is one of the worst/best films i have ever seen in my entire life and it only cost me one English pound. I was so entertained but of course for all the wrong reasons from the awful acting to the hilariously bad action sequences.Highlights included (spoilers) roller skating ninjas, the main characters climbing through storm drains that look disturbingly like water flumes and some of the worst ninjas i have ever seen in my entire life. Pretty much the start of every other scene features the lead "creeping" up on one of the "ninjas" (i use the terms creeping and ninja very loosely) and breaking his neck.Anyhow as bad as this film is i still bring it out every now and again for a chuckle with my mates and if you find it as cheap as i did certainly pick it up for kicks and giggles.
