Look at Sho's jump clean off the ground when he punches all 4 guys at the sametime. That is a very high jump he does right off the ground and jumps well over the head of the guys.
Major Blooper at 2:16 when Sho jumps on the van, the indian is shown in the passenger's seat. cut to an inside view of the van as Sho lands on it, the indian is now in the driver's seat.
In reply to any asshole even posting that this stuff sucks.man if yah werent born in the fucking eighties.OBVIOUSLY IT SUCKS..i mean really if they made a ninja movie with the resources they have now(and i dont mean that horrible joke of a ninja assassin movie either) it would own.its unfortunate people dont understand the darkness of this art and how it is portrayed.It is unfortunate that the shit commercialisation of martial arts has totally destroyed any respect it used to have in movies..
i remember going to see this with my dad at the drive-in when i was only 5 years old. great memories. and to this date, still one of my favorite movies.
I remember watching this shit as a kid. Yo this guy went maaad hard in this scene. Hangin off the back of vans, getting dragged and shit (lol). Classic shit right here !
If you throw a full trash bag filled w/aluminum cans at a Ninja, he drops flat on his face. But if you were to throw it at a homeless person in Downtown Los Angeles, his ass would've turned around and caught it with a quickness and run with it along with him doing some back flips to the nearest recylcing lot!
Not to mention, but the best villian was the guy that throws the trash bag at the Ninja shop keeper.. [0:14] " Ha-vah-ka-vah-ka-vah-ka-vah-ka-va-ka-vah... Aye-yah-yah-yah!!!!!" hahahahaha!!!!
Yeaa ur not lying bout that! i'd rather watch pray for death or revenge of the ninja over and over again than some of these dumb ninja movies they make nowadays. I rememer in ninja III: domination when that dude took out all the cops on the golf course with smoke bombs, shuriken, blowguns, and the up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start konami code cause they COULD NOOOT kill that fuker if their lives depended on it!!! LMAO
Excellent fight scene in a movie. Just enough make believe with enough "realism" to make it entertaining. I loved watching Sho Kosugi movies. Even the corny "Black Eagle".
yeaa i still got black eagle on vhs! i really wanted sho to do some kooler stuff in his fights with van damme tho...damn....i wonder who was doing fight choreography in that, cause their fights could have been wayyyyyy better...
This video is a great example why you must work your back muscles so they can withstand a bag of cans. Hahahahahaha I totally remember this movie when I was little. hehehe
The confrontation between the native american and the ninja brings back memories of the GI JOE action figures Spirit and Storm Shadow. The movie was probably contemporaneous with the animated series.
ouch! clearly 100% fake... after that native american jump with that wood 15 ft high to his head... after all the punches weapons... how high sho kosugi jumped... needs a mini trampoline... haha he still stood up after the car hit.
@jirouy Yes, Sho Kosugi used trampolines to do high flying flips/sommersaults over the wall etc. Atleast, being a Ninja and expert gymnast, he knew how to do all acrobatic movement. All of that was 100% real. The jumps and flying kicks during fight sequences are 100% real. Unlike today's sh*t martial arts where they strap wires on and do fake acrobatic movements on people who have no clue like Keanu Reeves.
This is one of my favourite fight scenes in this movie too, Sho takes and gives a lot which makes this a very moving battle. If only he knew those dolls were filled with heroin though, I guess he wouldn't have bothered trying to save them.
what makes this scene so hilarious is that sho fights the thugs, does a flip over a fence and jumps onto the van, smashes through the windshield, fights some more, and then is dragged along the road...all because of some dolls. he didn't even know they were filled with heroin. most people would have just called the police and filed a claim with the insurance company, but i guess that's not his style.
well, i guess it wasn't just for the dolls, its like: " you, stealing from ME! a Ninja master, how DARE you, i'll kill you" Something about honor. lol
It's amazing how much martial arts choreography has evolved since then. This my look primitive in comparison to, say, the Matrix, but when it was new it gave us tons of fun. I'd watch this movie again for nostalgia's sake.
yes, definitely true. but i like seagal more, this fight is one of those "old school" martial arts film where many opponents wiat for their turn. i like seagal who take them on all at the same time.
@wakeupfist lol the matrix? you think keanu reeves flying around on wires is comparable to this? No wonder we were served rubbish like that these days with people like you lapping it up. Matrix is a joke compared to this.
They're stealing his hand-crafted Japanese dolls. Sho's best friend convinces him to move the survivors of his family to America and sell his dolls there. Unknown to Sho, his best friend is using the dolls to smuggle heroin into the states. A mobster double-crosses Sho's friend and has some guys clean the place out which is where Sho comes in and starts kicking their ass.
lol, i remember watching this movie and actually enjoying it. i grew up watching HK cinema, and the choregraphy of this movie is nothing spectacular, but i still enjoyed it.
He is so lame.
A trained in martial arts 18 year old could do better.
