Anton Bitel Little White Lies Revenge of the Ninja appropriates part of its form from the then-voguish slasher ("What is this, Halloween?", a character is heard to ask), and part from the gangster flick. Jan 17, 2016 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk the action flows well enough, and the only time the film grinds to a halt is when drama or character conflict is involved Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 30, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Director Sam Firstenberg delivers an exceedingly hit-and-miss actioner that remains unable, generally speaking, to become the enthralling work he's obviously intended... Rated: 2/4 Nov 17, 2020 Full Review Austin Trunick Under the Radar B-movie action fans will appreciate the absurd plot turns and awful dialogue alongside its genuinely cool stunt work ... This is essential '80s cheese. Rated: 7/10 May 31, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Aaron G Come on. This is an ‘80’s Ninja movie. And of all the’80’s Ninja movies, this one is the best. Sho Kosugi is very believable in his portrayal of a Ninja 🥷🏻, and is in fact a practitioner of Ninjitsu. If you’re expecting an Academy Award nominee, you’re probably going to be disappointed. But if you go into this knowing what it is, you’re going to love it. I guarantee it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/24 Full Review freddy a Yes i know...it's a bad ninja movie...but hey, it's just entertaining and takes me back to my childhood Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What an incredibly nonsensical fun ass Ninja movie only Cannon Film Group could make. The kid fights were the best, Kane Kosugi was a star at 6 years old. Also the best photographed Salt Lake City I've ever seen on film (it's the only film I've seen filmed there). Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Best of it's kind. Period. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It's nice to see Kusagi get the spotlight. There's some great fight scenes and a cutthroat opening, but it's a largely forgettable action flick.. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/12/20 Full Review Audience Member Omg that's so cheesy.. even for an eighties film this was just.. it never captered me, or that eighties classic feeling.. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
