Audience Member The story is about a megalomaniac played by Frank Notaro who draws up plans to poison the world's water supply with the services of a group of lethal ninjas (despite the title being called Lethal Ninja), he makes certain he can operate without interference. Even though it's painfully obvious what is going to happen next in the film, let's run down the list shall we? The villain kidnaps the wife played by Karyn Hill - check! The main hero works for the CIA or is some sort of agent/police/soldier played by Ross Kettle - check! He was once retired so now he is getting his revenge...oh you've got to be fucking kidding me! This does not happen! It's basically the martial arts version of Commando. You see, that's the movie's problem. In USA, it's R-Rated and in the UK, it's Over 15 so this movie should have been a lot more violent and action-packed than it looks to create a good movie and instead it just became as tired, incredibly cliche and most of all, boring. Lethal Ninja gets a 5/10. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member well as far as ninjasploitation films go, this isn't one of the best, but it is watchable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member When we consider Lethal Ninja we must look beyond the visual and, like the ninja, become one with the aural. By which I mean that the soundtrack could quite easily be an Atrium Carceri album. It's dark ambient through and through. Infact i'm wondering if kapnobati is actually the soundtrack to a shitty B-Movie... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Really, really bad ninja movie! The main characters aren't really ninjas, but they are fighting ninjas. The ninjas in this film really don't even seem to have a purpose other than to fight with the main character. The acting and story line are awful as well. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Your wife has been kidnapped by ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue your hot wife who's been kidnapped by ninjas? Cliche Ninja: this fall at a theater near you Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
