Pirate Ninja Battle

[Darthsantana]

im sure there were pirates around when ninjas were starting out and im sure there were pirates around when they started to become less mainstream (insert hipster joke) anyway yeah ninjas and pirates, although probably rarley actually met (atleast our european/caribean pirates met) it was possible

[crunkin234]

i work at that yatch club lol...

[basseth23]

NIce video XD and btw i love the dread crew of oddwood as well!!! They are my favorite band :)

[gamewisard01]

fuck the pirate. He would have died on the first encounter. Ninja would slice his dick off and laugh

[hellerZauberer]

Looks like you guys had fun.

[IAMGLOCK]

 pirates are the shit! im a pirate

[MairacleMaker10]

dude, ninjas use nature advancements to like, deflect a bullets, and ninjas can turn to darkness and stab that filthy pirate

[YinGuoDao]

you sound drunk

[tonatiuh10]

Watch "PIRATES VS NINJAS March 07, 2010" in Washington DC on Youtube

[cjcool91]

ur basicly taking knife to gun fight pirates would win because they have guns ninjas no guns at all

[RandomAnimalProduct]

ninja's are quick and agile but pirates are strong and clever from their time at sea (trust me sailing on a sail boat is not easy work) so their is a balance to it but the problem is ninjas have been practicing their technique for most of their life so they probably would be difficult to kill

[thevirum]

Its not a draw, Superior weaponry, tactics, fighting style, training, faster, stronger wins against the pirate.

And yes, Ninjas are fucking ripped and have armor that weighs basically nothing and nobody can get into a fight with a ninja and win, it just can't happen unless its another Ninja.

[STARness767]

UR MY NEW BEST FREND!!!!!

[TheMetalWarrior]

VIKINGS!

[metalgod1993]

@TheMetalWarrior Vikings for the win.. but in this cause, I'll be a pirate

Pirates for the win! :D

[stickof92]

1: Ninjas never loose their balance

2: Ninjas are never surprised by swords coming through holes in walls

3: Ninjas cannot physically loose their weapons without wanting to let go of them.

4: Ninjas don't freeze

5: Ninjas can't be shot

For a Movie on a whim, REALLY GOOD, don't let the 5 facts about ninjas fol you, I really enjoyed this, out of the 4 i've watched, it's by far the best. Only if I were to make it, I'd keep the lessons of 'ask a ninja' in mind. =D again, really good!

[MatthewRobertHenry]

Wow, this is my new favorite youtube video. I'm by no means an expert video editor so take this lightly: My only suggestion would be a few more sound effects during some of the physical fight sequences. The quality props add a lot but the poor sound quality took a way from it a bit IMO.  Great job though and the music selection was excellent!

[GreatSlovakia]

Quite well done I guess I have to say, as you said yourself, a ninja wouldn't get into such a fight in the first place... still its extremely well done :P Aside of that, a ninja would probably be able to stop a bullet with his bare fingers, wouldn't he?

[connorockpunk1212121]

pirates suck but good video

[AzurePain]

That's right, pirates represent! ;D .

[masterzibby7161]

a true ninja wouldn't have ran out and pulled out his sword like that he would og hid behind the trash can and thrown shrunken

[Maosquito1]

This movie is my FAVORITE so far...out of the three i 've watched (i think)

but i disagree about ONE THING...

why would a NINJA GET SHOT???

isnt that the whole point to a ninja, they dont get shot??

in my mind, which probably would have made more sense, the ninja would fall left sidewards- meanwhile dispelling knives - before hitting the ground and rolling back up to stand or whut have you...

hmmmm.....

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed watching this! And I agree with you about the whole "ninja avoiding battle" idea. We made this movie on a whim one day, not taking into consideration any historical accuracies or concepts of the sort. We basically just went out, dressed up, and fought.

Thanks for watching it, what were the other ones you watched?

[trowaslover]

@Maosquito1 Well the only reason I would say the ninja got shot is because ninjas are not really faster then bullets....even old world guns....they probably wouldn't have died that fast. Probably got some cloth in the wound, it fester and they would be poisoned by the lead, but you know...this was a fun video, thanks for sharing with us andrewcastlepeters

[derrickmillon]

tey best ever!@#!

[KurosenvsGrither]

Show me a ninja an' I'll show ye a spineless bilge rat!

[AndrewCastlePeters]

That's why they hide, so they can kill you unseen...

Just an opinion. But nice choice of words nonetheless.

[FrenchAsassin]

ninjas FTW. In 1505 a ninja would have devastated a pirate.

[GFLeviathan]

Pirates are way better

Pirates FTW!

[Gin3000]

Awesomeness.

[vorpalwield]

lmfao i like the bongo music you had for the ninja

[TylerKri]

nice video but i still disagree with your ending =). ninjas can block bullets and for the cannon thing. wheh do u see ninjas on boats? they would run on the water and sink your ship ya fools =P

[stabbyman3]

wait...ninjas cant run on water...and if they could..theyd be blown away by a cannon the second they got within 1000 leagues of the boat...sorry, pirates FTW!

[wachaninja7]

well what if the ninja decided NOT to stand in the cannons line of fire? sounds pretty simple considering that firing a cannon requires loading it (can't be aimed if it's sticking out of the boat) and lighting a fuse. in that time a ninja would simply climb up the side and kill whatever pirates are on board before they'd know what hit em.

[boganbrawler]

why are there sub-titles?

[AndrewCastlePeters]

I'm glad you asked. Francis used to be very hard to understand, because he would slur words together, so I thought it would be funny to put subtitles on all of his lines in every video he's been in. And frankly, it actually helps the viewer understand what the Hell he is saying. Cheers.

[TheFencer8089]

we're you guys using foil fencing swords on the roof scene?

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Yeah we were, the practice types, with the regular (non-pistol) grips.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

No one won, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Harle!

[metalgod1993]

that was awesome! yarrrr! pirate won!

[metalgod1993]

yar har har!! c'mon! pirates have guns, ship whit kannons, they have a army off pirates knifes and rum! they would own ninjas so easly! yarr! that ninja's gonna sleep whit tha fishes! walk tha plank or do ya wanna be cut in pieces! yar har har har har! than she gonna be sushi! arrrg!! raise tha black flag quest into tha fight!

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Alright, glad you enjoyed it. I think the amount of fighting was perfect. In fact, the movie could not have been made any better that day, two and a half years ago.

[DragonHotSauce666]

i am a video critique. u may see my comments all ove youtube i admit tthat this video is one of the better ones but it could have used more fighting. thank you

[pixle555]

wots with the ninja music =s its not ninjaish =s

[therewulf6]

Silly! Loved it tho I did feel bad that the pirate got Gilligans Island for his theme song...

Ummm... after reading some of the messages... you guys do know that this is not an historical documentary right?? It's an excuse (if you need one) to chase after your friends with swords while in costume!!!

[AndrewCastlePeters]

I'm really glad you enjoyed it! And yes, people take this movie way too seriously, even though we just filmed it for fun one day, no preplanning. And Reece (the pirate) was just learning accordian at that time, so that's one of the only songs he could play (hence his using it for the pirate in the movie). Cheers.

[jish55]

disposale like most people think, they had items which could fog peoples minds into thinking otherwise... that's all, and they weren't fast enough to dodge a bullet... sorry to be the bearer of bad news all.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Thank you for that invaluable lesson, I never knew that a person trained in martial arts sucks at hand-to-hand combat. This, despite the fact that ninjutsu encompasses a wide range of unconventional hand-to-hand fighting techniques, which include the striking of pressure points and bone-breaking methods? Nah, a ninja couldn't do anything, right jish55?

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Oh, and of course, ninja used psychological warfare to make themselves appear as magical beings or "supernatural". And to counterargue any forthcoming argument from you, I have two comments. First, a smart person, when outnumbered, will not stand and fight. They will break for it and escape, living to fight another day. And, about the psych. warfare, we can compare ninja to modern snipers, who demoralize squads by silently killing off important figures (maybe not as often today as in the past).

[jish55]

tearible at hand to hand and knew that they would loose... pirates on the other hand, had numbers, brawn, and skill in sword play and firearms... which is why they would ransack towns, because even though they were outnumbered, they had better skill than most and was able to take more people on bye them selfes... which is why you could see them a mile away... and unlike ninjas, they would fight to the death... now if no one believes me, look it up on wiki. ninjas didn't have any magic at their

[jish55]

ok, here's a little history lesson for everyone... during the time's of a ninja, ninja were trained in stealth, assination, and trickory... they were taught these because they were not willing to die... as per the original ninja leaving the samurai... they were stealthy so no one would be able to spot them, and if they were spotted, they would use an item or trick to cloack their escape so that way they wouldn't have to fight in hand to hand... because although they were agile, they were

[BlackLily888]

PIRATES WIN!

[Waniay]

NINJAS 4 EVER!

[vivalaheather06]

This was awesome! so epic!

[krumbsta]

lol i liked that it was funny

[DrunkSoviet]

i always like how people make fun of people and how the spell on the internet, makes them look like there 5 years old and have no comebacks. and i am also happy that i am a communist, cause at least in my society, the people are what matters, and not the imperialistic ways of a capitalist Society, second if you did have intelligence i did not once insult anyone in my post, only ackowledging the fact that your movie is FUCKING GAY. but i want to ask you andrew

[AndrewCastlePeters]

When you leave a comment, in writing, insulting the people who made a film, spelling and grammar add a lot to the credibility of the insulter. Saying to me that the film sucks is basically insulting me and everyone who made the film, comrade. And apparently, since I attacked both your computer skills and your intelligence, I am 5 years old. Never mind the fact that I poked fun at communism in a cleverly-worded way.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

I'm glad that you hated my movie so much that you took time out of your (clearly) busy schedule to write a long message about how this movie, despite being made soley for fun, was inaccurate and could never realistically happen in the way the battles were fought by pyrates and ninja.

[DrunkSoviet]

how fucking gay, that was no ninja but a pirate trying to be one, all of us Ninjas no that we never run from battle, that or sword will never be detached from or hand, and last but not least we would have dodged that bullet. you can tell this is a fake. another thing, Aninja is supposed to be sneaky, so why does one walk on the beach just to be caught by his foe.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Work on grammar and spelling before you insult me (and anyone else of intelligence). But you're looking into this movie waaaay to deeply. It was a movie made for fun, not to entertain commies. Obviously this wasn't an attempt to be realistic in any way, so you should'nt analyze every aspect of error.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Well, you do have one thing going for you, that you're Russian. I'm glad all of your people are equal...equally poor that is. But keep loving communism, even with all of it's fallacies.

[thegtafanboy]

pirates win.

[handofmold]

The pirate got cool pirate music, but the ninja had some kind of african congo beat thing... weird

[akbets]

BS ninjas rule!!!

[TheEggBeast]

My God, that was EPIC!

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Hey man, thanks! Glad you fuckin liked it!

[hygaradon]

Intresting movie, but ninja would normaly deflect bullit with his sword or just dodge a bullit.

Though it seems he made believe he "took the hit" just for entertainment puproses :)

[Darthsantana]

@hygaradon he wouldnt have to the acuracy is low and it had a high posibility of missfiring in thos days

[mysticbrightshadow]

That was some pathetic ninja... no shuriken even.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

He was displaced from his setting to be in this movie, so he wasn't well prepared in terms of weapons.

[CommonOddity]

Ninjas > Pirates

Cats > Dogs

IPU > FSM

Me > You

[AndrewCastlePeters]

I agree with the first, don't know what the hell IPU and FSM are, and I am definitely better than you (don't hold it against me; the truth hurts).

And as far as cats being better than dogs, only certain cats are cool, which are the ones that act like dogs. The rest should be shot.

[Intranetusa]

I agree man, "me > you" totally

[juusov2]

Very nice vid, but u didn't show much ninja weps in it.

I mean stuff like throwing stars, nunchukas, sais and explosives.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

ha yeah we didnt really A.prep B.think about it C. sit down and plan each scene. we kinda just ran with it.

[ToddZ0mbie]

Oh God your eyebrows are so fucking big

[AndrewCastlePeters]

they're actually Francis' eyebrows, he's the first guy you see in the movie. I am the ninja, but ill let him know :) haha

[callmegeorge]

NINJAS RULE!!!! even a bullet cant stop a ninja, this proves it

[AndrewCastlePeters]

very true, my friend

[agentscullly]

Yay! Go pirates!!

[kazerniel]

pirates yay =D

[cooleochick]

pirates are way betta than ninjas!

[darkguy9944]

bullets are easy to dodge the variable is there aim. Ninjas should wear grappling gloves and spiked shoes if he was wearing spiked shoes in would have been over at the start.

[LifeHiatus]

I personally don't see why a ninja would bother to fight a pirate seeing as Pirates tended to stay on sea whilst Ninja's were land based.

But oh well, I'm gunna be different and say I'm a ninja-pirate because...thats /so/ original XD

I loved the movie, the pirate was pretty pwnsome, he deserved to win (:

[Awenger13]

I think a rouge ninja can infiltrate the pirate boat... kill the captain and become captain jea ..............................­.............or with a mission just set a gunpowder to vital area of the ship ewerithing stealthy 1 skilled ninja...

[7677876]

ur totally rong. ninjas wud spread out and find the chest and pick the locks w/ their tongues. then they wud take the guns, attach them to the swords and make it a bayonette. then they wud stap teh pirates and shoot. PWND!

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Glad to see that both spelling and grammar are your specialty.

[MoonIMover]

Maybe he can't write, but he's right!

[AndrewCastlePeters]

uh....i don't understand what he wrote, but he's probably wrong, therefore you would follow suit. :)

[MoonIMover]

Translation into proper English:

I think a rouge ninja can infiltrate the pirate boat, kill the captain and become captain. Or, with a mission, just set a keg of gunpowder in a vital area of the ship and set it to go off. Everything goes to one stealthy, skilled ninja.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Thank you, MoonlMover, for clearing that up. Yes, I will eventually make an "as-true-to-life-as-this-ridic­ulous-battle-could-possibly-be­" movie, and I already know a ninja could probably outdue a pirate in unconventional warfare, which is what they were trained/learned to use; fight dirty, or die. To be fair, pirates fought dirty as well, such as when Sir Henry Morgan slaughtered all the Panamanians after sacking the fort/town. Hope you enjoyed it!

[DarthJebus]

Normally I'd say I'm sick of hearing about this pirate vs. ninja bullshit, but I do have to say, FUCK YEAH PIRATES and FUCK YEAH MADDOX.

I met him when he was doing the book signings, it was cool shit.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

yeah so did i, down here in san diego. i was dressed like, you guessed it, a ninja. but then for Comic Con i switched to my normal pirate-wear, cuz my band played some songs for him.

[DrunkenLee]

really just to throw out some facts about ninja versus pirates. this is coming from a real ninjutsu learner. ninja do wear black but some don't because their undercover. Pirates wear what they want so it's really east to tell from diamonds and other obvious stuff. ninja and pirates both are stealthy but ninja's run in slippers which makes it really silent and pirates wear boots which makes it harder to be silent. ninjas are former samurais that are hired to do work. pirates do what they want.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

generally a ninja would dress as a monk/guard/peasant to gain access into enemy territory, so their outfit combinations and colorings are practically limitless. but black is not a natural color, so it sticks out in the nighttime like a sore thumb. pirates generally didn't disguise themselves, but they used stealth by ambushing towns/ships under the cover of night. the only time pirates were drunk and rowdy would be onshore, because you have to be very focused when onboard a tall ship.

[Xarrin]

Just going to throw this out there because of various squabbling that's been going on. The ninja were specialized assassins used by various lords in feudal Japan. The ninja were thriving at the time of firearms, and did use gunpowder for cannons and smoke bombs on their missions. As far as still existing today, ninjutsu is still taught, but authenticity is questionable.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Yeah, no shit, but I can guarantee those from the 14th century were probably not confronted with firearms, such as the one portrayed here. And no, ninja never wore black, let's not look to deep into this movie. Thanks for watching it though!

[Xarrin]

When it comes to the actual movie, I have to say, good job. It really was fun to watch.

[pimptacular1000]

WHAT?????

Ninjas can dodge bullets!

no pirate will ever see no ninja

NINJAS PWN PIRATES

debate settled

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Ninjas actually can't dodge bullets, bud. Although we perceive them as being superhuman, they're still humans. Plus, there were no guns back in their day, so they wouldn't know what to do.

And the debate is not settled, ever.

[pimptacular1000]

i hate to say it but ninjas still exist....

SERIOUSLY they do......

and even if they dont

guns were invented in the 1500's

NINJAS LIVED THEN go watch the last samurai

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Oh, really? They still exist? I didn't know that, even though I'm going to train in Japan at one of the only official ninja schools in the world...

and The Last Samurai is a joke. As the great maddox says: "Hi, I'm Tom Cruise. I'm not Japanese, nor a samurai. Although my starring role in 'The Last Samurai' implies that the last surviving samurai is an American, you may be willing to give this movie the benefit of the doubt since a movie with this premise would be far too condescending.

[pimptacular1000]

Stupid douche.....

well you stated yourself that they dont exist anymore...retard make up your mind

also it may be fictional but it actually happened (no Tom Cruise was not a samurai) but america did move in (with guns) and the ninjas still lived and (as in the movie) cut up people before they know it....

get your facts straight

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Try not too cry too much Mr. Pimp. When did I ever once say ninjas don't exist? And no shit about America's invasion into Japan, I know my history, thanks anyway. I'm pretty sure my facts are straighter than my rod when it's in your mother's cunt.

Alas, bickering over then internet gets us nowhere. Glad you hate me enough to watch my movie, all the way through!

[pimptacular1000]

well as you recall you stupid douche---quote---

Ninjas actually can't dodge bullets, bud. Although we perceive them as being superhuman, they're still humans. Plus, there were no guns back in their day, so they wouldn't know what to do.

-------

[AndrewCastlePeters]

"Their day" being the time when secret warrior clans were at a prime in their use against the ruling shogun families. They definitely weren't as common following the 18th century. In layman's terms, the 1700's. Sorry "stupid douche" is the best you can come up with, Mr. Pimp. And, really, is there a point you are trying to prove? Let me know when you've figured out how insignificant this argument is. If you drink some cranberry juice, it'll help with your period cramps.

[xxdanxexx]

Who took the throwing stars away from the ninja? He would have thrown them in the tip of the gun and broke the gun. Pirate fans shouldn't make videos of nvp

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Ha, pirate fan? Me? Hardly. I was the ninja in this. Besides, this was a random day of boredom for a group of friends, being turned into awesomeness.

This is without any prior ninja/pirating experience under our respective belts; if we re-did this movie right now, it would be much, much different.

[HamonLord]

One of the few times where I have ever seen a pirate beat a ninja.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

He only kind of beat the ninja tho, cuz the shot apparently wasn't fatal. Glad you watched it!

[HamonLord]

Yeah, but if the ninja knew about guns, they would have been smart and fast enough to avoid it and then swap it out of the pirate's hand and use it against him in a blink of an eye.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

although i support the obvious that a ninja would completely destroy a pirate, in this case the ninja had the obstacles of a gun and lack of night cover, ultimately resulting in him getting shot up. but nonetheless, it's still a draw.

the next movie i make will be more realistic in terms of an actual ninja/pirate fight.

[HamonLord]

Ok fair enough.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

haha sorry i enjoy taking the time to answer comments posted, since this is, after all, my movie lol

[gascan]

Nice video, I liked it. I'm more of a pirate because of my hobby (model warship combat), but I enjoy ninja stuff as well. What music was the pirate's theme?

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Haha it was actually made by Reece (the pirate in this movie), back when he was just starting out on accordion. It's the Gilligan's Island theme song I believe. All 3 of us in this movie are in a band called Hellhound, and we play acoustic pirate music and heavy metal.

[TechieMicheal]

Definitely entertaining, but I have to ask: What is the pirate doing pouring gun powder in a revolver? :D

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Thanks, and damn, that is a good question. I think Reece told me it was a black powder 6-shot musket when we filmed this (Jan. of '05) and since i didn't know anything about pirates back then, I just assumed he was correct lol. Besides, I'm a ninja. Ninjas don't use guns, nor did they have them.

[HoujouSatoshi]

Wow....all these people on here that are saying that the Ninja would have won or the Pirate would have. lol

And the Rasengan is a ninjutsu attack from Naruto, so it's not real. I like the idea of ninjas having the attacks that they do in Naruto, but this is meant to be a debate between "real" pirates and ninjas as you said so that doesn't work. XD

Anyway, great video! ^__^

[AndrewCastlePeters]

haha yeah that would be awesome, but you are right that we're trying to go with the "real feel"-type thing. On the next movie we make, it's actually gonna be multiple pirates and ninjas, with an actual developing movie plot haha. glad you liked it!

[HoujouSatoshi]

That'll be awesome to see multiple Ninjas and Pirates! XD

Can't wait to see it. ^_^

[cattysnacks]

pirates will always win!!!!

[AndrewCastlePeters]

He didn't win, he only deterred the ninja by shooting him, but thanks for watching the video.

You guys should take a few more minutes of your time to watch some of the other vids I posted.

[cattysnacks]

still pirates win!

[brawler8969]

i think a ninja would win, all he has to do is do resangan and kill the pirate

[AndrewCastlePeters]

haha well i don't know what a resangan is, but i definitely should have "won" the fight against Reece (the pirate)... but the battle continues

[badhanded]

Pirate FTW!

[Ownbeerdeluxe]

actually the ninja would have catched the bullet with his teeth and spit it at twice the speed back at the pirate ^^

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Ha yeah it could have, but it didn't. This is a realistic representation of an actual pirate fighting an actual ninja.

..........(note the subtle trace of sarcasm in my writing)

[woopyfrood]

verily, i say w00t.

VV00+0RZ!!1!one

[AndrewCastlePeters]

ha what? i don't understand nerd typing...

[woopyfrood]

it's called the leet, and I'm blatantly making fun of it.

[woopyfrood]

it's called the leet, and I'm blatantly making fun of it.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

"ahhhhhh i see", said the blind man.

[Mine2day]

Actually it's called H4x0r but some people call it 1337sp33k (LeetSpeak) But he kinda used it wrong... W00T means We Own Other Teams and it's W00TZ0rz and not W00+0rz

[AndrewCastlePeters]

ok thanks for that spectacular info. was the movie good, is the real question at hand...

[Lemnx]

Good work ;)

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Thanks a bunch, glad you enjoyed it!

[werewolfenlord]

That was actually pretty good. My only real problem is the video quality. It looks like it was doen with a cell phone. In any case, it was well done with interesting environments.

[AndrewCastlePeters]

Quality definitely sucks on Youtube. In reality this video is actually a lot bigger, so I had to MEGA-COMPRESS it.

Glad you liked it, this was totally done for fun, no serious attempt at getting anywhere with this haha. But, we are going to shoot a real pirate-ninja short film in the near future, with professional cameras and crew.

[MattPyrch]

this one rockssss
