I bought this piece of nostalgia on VHS for approximately 3 US $, the reason I got it was because I had seen a couple of other great unintentionally funny ninja-movies before and hoped this would be the same kind of turkey! I got what I asked for..
I never understood the movie completely, but some friends of mine told me that it was legendary in Thailand or something...and why is that, you ask? We will probably never know!
The "hero" is apparently a young Asian man with BIG nerdy glasses who runs around with his friends...or if we consider the spliced-in movie, it is the stupefied American "agent" (Stuart Steen/Smith as a poor mans Patrick Szwayze), or perhaps the hero is Paddy!?? (oh, just kidding...Paddy is only in the movie for about 5 seconds, so it probably isn't him we're supposed to root for, although some other guy we don't know screams "Paddyyy! Nooo!" just before he himself gets killed).
The ending really puzzled me, but apparently Toads and Ninjas are connected in some way..and Ninjas drives old dirty cars instead of just running or hiding in true ninja-fashion.
I give this piece of cinematic junk 5/10, because: 1 = The Hero's UGLY glasses made me laugh every time I saw them. 2 = Paddy's appearance also made me laugh a lot..who the hell was he, and why were we supposed to sympathize with him?? 3 = The word "ninja" was in the title. 4 = The BAD GUY BOSS NINJA was hilarious!! And finally 5 = Stuart Steen's fantastic over-the-top overacting is really great! He rocks!
And those pink silky "ninja-uniforms" don't scare NO ONE! I loved the Ninja's super-fast clothing-changes though.. totally stunning cinematic magic! Another fun thought to think about when watching this movie: How come the guy in the pink shirt has 9 lives?? He gets killed so many times, you should think he was invincible!
If you like bad Ninja-movies, I also recommend "Mafia Vs. Ninja", that movie made me laugh so hard my face and gut was in pain!
