Let me clear something up first off; When it comes to reviewing Godfrey Ho's movies, the lower the score means the better the movie. I am starting to become a Godfrey Ho collectionist just for the sake of how bad these movies actually are. They are my favorite productions ever made. Ever.
The first Ho film I ever watched was "Thunder Ninja Kids: Wonderful Mission." My dad found it in some bargain bin and thought it sounded funny. I could never get past the 10 minutes, it was so awful and my body wasn't accustomed to the painful magic of Godfrey Ho. But months later, at 4 o clock in the morning (thanks to caffeine pills) my friend and I had nothing more to do than watch this terrible movie. And from that day forth, we were hooked. I bought every other Thunder Ninja Kid movie off Ebay, and it was even funnier to see that none of them had anything to do with each other. They became my favorite movie series, and a few months later (bringing us to the present), I find myself with Golden Ninja Warrior from ebay in my hands.
I rated all of the thunder ninja kids films with my friend, on a bad scale, and "Golden Adventure" ended up ultimately being the worst/funniest film out of the 4, (and the funniest film I have ever seen). But no, nothing can compare to Golden Ninja Warrior.
Pretty much, this movie makes no sense at all. Watch your children because it also has random, unexpected scenes of softcore porn everywhere, some are just hilarious how they come out of nowhere and how they have no point in telling the story (one scene "Eric" is doing his wife when the phone rings, or another when Sherry is petting her cat and then decides to get changed to leave for something. They could've just had Eric sitting in a room when the phone rang, and the scene with Sherry and the cat was just weird, and the nudity was so unnecessary. Those made the film that much funnier, as It is just something you'd expect Godfrey Ho to do. Yet, the film also had some really, really, really, really bad scenes. I mean REALLY bad. I read on Wikipedia that some of Godfrey Ho's movies involve woman abuse for no reason, and I thought it was the occasional slap here or there, but no... There is a prostitution scene in the beginning for absolutely no reason that is very graphic, and the lead heroine ninja gets raped near the end... in like a 10 minute scene. It was disturbing and uncalled for.
The ninja scenes were the most random in any Ho film I've seen before. Example: Woman is walking through garden, man pulls up in car, walks into garden, kicks her in the face, they both turn into ninjas, fight, the woman disappears, the man turns back into normal, gets back into his car, and drives away. It made NO sense at all. The plot was the most confusing thing I've ever witnessed. At one moment, the golden ninja warrior is a statue that everyone is after (which we never get to see, and is only talked about once) yet the other moment, the golden ninja is Sherry, and then another moment the golden ninja are all the black ninja.
This beats out all of the thunder ninja kids films, and you have to give credit for the pointless 1 minute Richard Harrison footage in the beginning that is obviously the same footage from Ninja Dragon, Ninja Terminator and Ninja Squad. If you are a fan of Godfrey ho films and if you have somehow missed out on this one, buy it immediately. However, be warned for the random sexual scenes.
