| Well, it's an all too common problem; you dedicate your life to and train for years in the arts of ninjitsu. Then when you return home to see how the old folks are doing, you find that a hostile gang has taken over your town and that people refuse to recognize your ninja skills as a particularly useful commodity in the employment sector.
Such is the dilemma poor Billy faces in this typically daft but fun, cut & paste abomination brought to us by that stalwart of ineptitude, Mr Godfrey Ho. Talking of stalwarts, poor old Richard Harrison crops up here too, once again playing a ninja master called Gordon. As it transpires, Gordon is having a spot of bother of his own involving a fellow ninja going under the name of Ivan The Red. This thoroughly unpleasant chap has ambitions to claim the 'Supreme Ninja Power' (whatever the hell that might be) from Gordon and furthermore has a curious predilection for collecting the headbands he removes from other ninjas he slays, which he then sends to Gordon to goad him into combat. Interestingly, Ivan is also invariably accompanied by a particularly cool soundtrack whenever he appears onscreen. Hmmmm, I must remember to get myself one of those. Will Billy manage to sort out the evil extortion gangs and find a job? Will Gordon manage to defeat the sneering Ivan The Red? Does anyone really care? All will be revealed if, as I wholeheartedly recommend, you rush out and grab a copy of this joyously demented flick as soon as possible. |
