Review of Ninja Cheerleaders (2008) by Ryan T — 23 May 2012

I suppose NINJA CHEERLEADERS's script is a decent dispensary for softcore porn; that's in spite of some excruciatingly pitiful, amateurish choreography (even worse than the debut season of BtVS!) and skunky, low-class rock music. In an overarching sense, it is pretty interesting how cool ninjas and hot cheerleaders are blended, even when wasteful self-justification still sometimes happens.

And some particular elements of the script are surprisingly decent -- the flashback interludes to police interrogation are pretty lazy dialogue-wise, but pretty cool story-wise. The rest are clearly awful: the weird cheerleading-coach molestation; the awkward Napoleon "These girls are actually smart!" hogwash; or the ugly anti-misogyny sadism ("What's up with all the nut-crushing?" / Indeed!). On a side note, George Takei has a campy coolness that's pretty interesting; I like his irrepressibly maniacal laugh.
