That's an amazing film! Now, if only I'd know why Stingray has eyeballs in his fish tank...... I just watched Manhattan Chase the other day. That was Ho's last film and according to an IMDb-review, he went on to teach filmmaking! Heaven help us...<br /><br />About 80s ninja films... I agree, Cannon's American Ninja 1 & 2 are a good start, and then some Kosugi. But when one is tough enough, The Ninja Mission (1984) is the film to watch! A Swedish ninja film! Absolutely horrible, but sold to over 54 countries, hugely successful, and considered a cult classic these days! And better than anything Finnish guys have ever done (except one gem called Life on the Line).TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02361258547048668035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-17428449283069275252011-06-16T07:57:20.880-04:002011-06-16T07:57:20.880-04:00Sorry I'm a little late to this party, but you...Sorry I'm a little late to this party, but you may have heard, another Boston team won a championship last night. I know what you're thinking Kenner "hockey? that was the one thing we Detroit fans had on Boston! Damn you!"<br /><br />Maybe I should cut all of the fight scenes and edit them together, because the fight scenes are fantastic-- even the blah dialog would be manageable because it's sounds funny too, it's just that there's so freakin' much of it it becomes tedious. Like Kenner said, Godfrey Ho is hit or miss. More of a hit would be <a href="http://www.mattmovieguy.com/2009/08/undefeatable-aka-cui-hua-kuang-mo-1993.html" rel="nofollow">Undefeatable</a>.<br /><br />Mafia Vs. Ninja is actually on Watch Instantly for anyone who wants to check that out. Where were you Kenner when I was putting together my Ninja Week? Good to see you back though. Hopefully we'll have a football season so your Lions can get back to business.<br /><br />And I would say as far as top 5 80s go, it's more like go through the Golan-Globus/Cannon Ninja catalog first, because they made the best 80s ninja flicks. Lots of Sho Kosugi and the American Ninjas.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-88756334040265446642011-06-16T04:13:09.216-04:002011-06-16T04:13:09.216-04:00I'm really not familiar with enough older ninj...I'm really not familiar with enough older ninja flicks.

His movies are generally the type of movie that has some inspired lunancy but in general the it's hit and miss as the amusing parts are mixed in with dull cliche. A great example is Catman in which you think that this is a can't miss as the premise deals with a guy who gets scratched by a radioactive cat and who fights a devil worshipping priest. The main problem with that one is that there is a completely dull poorly made action flick with some tomboy chick and a guy who fights a ruthless dictator and it just blows. That said when he pays just enough lip service to such like in Robo Vampire (it might not be Godfrey Ho, bit it's in the style of such) or Ninja Thunderbolt or Ninja Squad it's enough to be hilarious grade Z fun. This one I heard is one of his funniest efforts. <br /><br />I recommend Mafia Vs Ninja that was enjoyable.Kennerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664118447662130586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-12712668648235893982011-06-15T23:04:35.105-04:002011-06-15T23:04:35.105-04:00Looks like a fun Godfrey Ho flick!
