I love ninja movies. Growing up I was a huge fan of stuff like Revenge of the Ninja and American Ninja, but this movie here has to be a joke. First I have to give you some background on this Ninja series of movies. There was Enter the Ninja, which features Sho Kosugi, the ultimate bad-ass ninja on the planet – if it’s a ninja movie and Sho Kosugi is not in it, then it’s not a ninja movie. Anyway, Enter the Ninja is about a white dude that travels to Japan and becomes a ninja, which is basically unheard of because ninjas are so secretive, I mean how do you find a ninja school? Did this guy just land in Japan and pick up the Yellow Pages and call around looking for a school? Did he know someone that was a ninja? So he becomes a ninja, but this pisses off the main ninja guy, none other than Sho Kosugi. He’s basically upset because he doesn’t think that ninjitsu should be taught to white people, especially white guys with mustaches. The white ninja ends up kicking some serious ass in the movie and the film itself is not that bad!
Revenge of the Ninja is a much better movie. The main star is Sho Kosugi who moves to good ol’ USA to get a better life for himself after a clan of ninjas killed his entire family (I can’t remember why, I’ll have to watch again). Some shit goes down in the US and he ends up having to fight a white ninja (not the same one from Enter the Ninja) and it’s pretty much one of the best ninja movies that came out back in the 80′s. The funny thing is though, in Enter the Ninja, Sho is a total asshole and he dies (sorry for the spoiler) by having his head cut off. So Enter and Revenge are no way related.
