Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

overkill-12 This is simply one of the best movies ever made because it's so funny and the creators didn't intend for it to be. It is an instant cult classic along with the Turkish Star Wars and Turkish Star Trek.I remember the first time I saw this movie the year was 1996 and I just couldn't stop laughing at the fake ninja tree fight scene. The next time it aired on TV I had the VCR at the ready. I must have watched it a good 10 times and showed it to all my friends and they pretty much had the same reaction as me. I literally freaked out when my dad taped a football game over it.I needed to find this movie again!! After 10 years of searching I finally found it through the magic of the interweb.I was expecting it to loose some of its luster over the years and all the hype my friends put it through back in the day but it didn't. It still made me laugh just as hard as when I first watched it.

arminio Gee! I remember how I watched this movie as a kid before 20 years in cinema and had fun like never before! Since then I tried hard to get any possible copy of it and now it is available on DVD... now, after 20 years, I think this is truly one of the silliest martial art flicks I've ever seen - and I've seen tons of them. This one has it all - from bizarre realization to insane look, feel and really memorable stunts and action that sometimes goes truly over the top - especially in great finale that comes with so insane fights that you must watch it to believe!Truly recommended as a pure fun movie which value is in stupid dub, silly dialogs, trashy look, great action with obvious usage of dummies and wires... And after 20 years it just got better than the first time I watched it!And dad! I still want that leather knife case! :)))10/10 from me!

Street Asylum I don't understand all the bad reviews for mafia vs. ninja. I mean, sure the dubbing, action, acting and plot are amateurish, but this is a kung fu movie, which means a new set of criteria needs to be used from which to judge it. A lot of IMDb users make this crucial mistake, and go looking for Shakespeare in everything they watch. Something like Mafia Vs Ninja needs to be reviewed with these potential qualities in mind: humor (intentional or otherwise), creative fighting styles/ gimmicks, quirkiness, and overall effect. I'd say it fares well in these respects. The film had me laughing throughout, like when the two main characters (who dress like oi punks, which added to my enjoyment) trash an establishment owned by a white bigot in the middle of the film for no reason (the scene seemed to be randomly thrown in), the ninjas at the end who turn into clumps of grass and either teleport or travel underground and then take their normal ninja shape again, the special team called in by the ninjas to fight the mafia (who are the protagonists) which includes an italian (i think?) knife thrower with a huge ridiculous scar on his face (who is an expert at throwing knives into apples suspended by wires in mid air), a Chinese swordsman, a Japanese ninja, and an African American fellow from detroit who as far as i could tell didn't know any actual kung fu, so just rolled around a lot and sort of threw people. and who can forget the sex scene which contains no nudity, but then is immediately followed by a still shot on what appears to be a painting of our hero's girlfriend in the nude. and even though none of the fighting in this film is too well done, the setups are creative, and the grittyness of them helps make them entertaining. overall a decent flick, and one kung fu fans should dig, especially if you liked fantasy mission force or any other of jackie chan's more bizarre films (half a loaf, the original drunken master, etc)

cduhn I can't tell if this movie was meant to be a comedy or not, but it sure turned out that way. Thsi movie is utterly hilarious. Take every cliche about kung-fu movies and multiply it by ten. Gallons of fake blood, evil Japanese stereotype, the "soul brother" black guy, it's all there, plus things I've NEVER seen in a kung-fu movie. Tree-fu, SAPLING-FU, and spitting water instead of blood, for instance. It's only because everything is SO bad in this movie that makes it so entertaining. I especially LOVE the Boss-ninja's black mask with the crooked eye- holes.It's a toss-up between The Story of Ricky and this one as my all time favorite (unintentionally) funny kung-fu movie, but this one I think takes the prize.
