Diagonaldi Very well executed

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

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.

Robert Thompson (justbob1982) Version I saw: UK Bluray releaseActors: 5/10Plot/script: 2/10Photography/visual style: 5/10Music/score: 6/10Overall: 4/10Ninja III is part of a spate of cheap-and-nasty B-movies made on shoestring budgets to cash in on the trend for martial arts action movies, partly due to the burgeoning VHS market. These days, they are mostly sought for "so bad it's good" value.I still say there is a very good movie to be made about *real world* ninjas, but this isn't it. The focus is pretty much exclusively on cool moves and shots, with the mere vestige of a plot to string it together. The quality of photography is rubbish too, making a mockery of the idea of this new bluray restoration.This would be more forgivable if the fights were actually very good, but alas, they are not. The male of the two leads has the better of it in terms of choreography - possibly because he (Sho Kosugi) was the main choreographer - but that isn't saying much because hers are pretty much awful.There is maybe 20 minutes of genuine hilarity in here for those inclined to laugh *at* the film, as we were, but since the rest is dull, bewildering and tacky, I am not sure it was worth it. If you must watch this one, watch it drunk, with friends who are also drunk.

utgard14 A ridiculously hard-to-kill evil ninja wearing guyliner and sporting a Moe Howard haircut is shot to death by police. Before he dies he manages to transfer his soul into a sexy telephone line repairwoman and part-time aerobics instructor named Christie (Lucinda Dickey). Now Christie finds herself blacking out and becoming possessed by the evil ninja, who wants vengeance on the cops who killed him. One of those cops is a hirsute young man that Christie has just recently invited into her vagina. Now one-eyed good ninja Yamada (Shô Kosugi) must exorcise the evil ninja from Christie and destroy him once and for all.Cannon classic from the '80s that will pretty much rock your face off so don't say you weren't warned. Big-haired beauty Lucinda Dickey branches out from her Breakin' movies to show the world she's got mad ninja skills. Jordan Bennett brings sexy back in a big way, representing the hairy men of the world quite well. Shô Kosugi, bless his heart, just doesn't know what they signed him up for. He gives it his all, though, and is probably the best actor in the film. James Hong has a memorable scene as an exorcist with a huge fake wart on his face.Highlights include the evil ninja being chased and killed by police in a hilariously long sequence, a seduction scene involving V8 juice, Mr. Ochmonek from ALF in his boxer shorts, and ripoff scenes of both Exorcist and Poltergeist. If you're a fan of '80s ninja movies or a fan of Cannon/Golan-Globus productions, you'll definitely love this one. You'll learn a lot about ninjas in this movie and every bit of it is true. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Every bit of it is true.

disdressed12 this is a strange movie.it's a martial arts movie,but there are horror elements,some scenes that seem to be parody or black comedy.mix in MTV 80's music videos,and you have a really strange marriage and one that doesn't always work.the the black comedy scenes probably aren't intentional,the horror elements don't really work the way they're intended either,in my view.as is often the case,and sometimes out of necessity due to script constraints,there is little to no character development here.but some aspects work.for instance,some of the martial arts sequences are pretty good.the story is also interesting and the acting is actually pretty good.overall,it's entertaining.for me,Ninja III: The Domination is a 7/10

chris919 This is a pretty silly film, including what may well be the least erotic come-on ever to make it to the big screen (the heroine pours V-8 all over herself and invites the hero to lick it off -- yuck!). And yet it also features the resplendent Lucinda Dickey in what is far and away her most erotic performance. In those long ago days, women -- even action heroines -- with real muscles were a rarity, and I can still remember the way my jaw dropped when Dickey took off her shirt, revealing the most powerfully built female back and biceps I'd ever seen. Dickey's beauty and vitality carry the film: she could have been a female Schwarzenegger if anybody had had the vision to promote her.
