(1983) Revenge Of The Ninja.
ACTION.
The best ninja film actor Sho Kosugi had ever done since it's displaying many different kinds of weapons as opposed to using a gun, and they're many preposterous tricks including tiny spikes in the mouth and fake grabbing arm and so forth...
The preposterous set up regards an old Caucasion friend tricking his ninja friend to set -up a Japanese art gallery display in the US as opposed to his native Japan after much of his family members had been slaughtered. The plot serves no purpose other than a backdrop to many action situations, which the main star's rare Japanese doll collection are filled with heroin. Included is a cool ivory looking ninja mask.
Some of the acrobatics are obviously done by trampoline and by doubles, and the high jumps from the ledges onto mats but plenty of well choreographed sword fighting fights, including a shaft that shoots out fire, with a better musical pumping score this time around.
3 out of 4 stars.
