El Imperio de las Sombras

More ninja lunacy here from our old pal Godfrey Ho (allegedly), who succeeds in delivering yet another cut and splice poo-fest which in addition has the ignominious distinction of boasting some of the most hilariously risible special visual effects that I have ever witnessed! As an illustration of this, just check out the scenes in which our ninja hero makes himself invisible! The truly craptacularly rendered fx will have you rolling on the floor with laughter guaranteed! In one such scene he sits himself atop the roof of a van unseen by all (except for us the poor viewers of course!)

Did you know that a ninja can summon an earthquake? Neither did I until Godfrey Ho enlightened me to the truth….thank you Godfrey, I shall be forever indebted to you for bestowing such abstruse knowledge unto me.

I saw this under its European title of Ninja Warriors From Beyond….Beyond belief certainly! The climatic duel between our main man and his evil nemesis has the villain fighting with a spiked umbrella!!!! Interestingly, and as one final insult to this poor unfortunate (but nonetheless somewhat amusing) cinematic wretch, the cast credits appear to be erroneous! The main actors (who are clearly listed during the opening scenes) do not actually appear in this!!!! In reality the headliners are always welcome regular ninja bad guy Louis Roth and the chap (whose name I know not) who also headlined as the hero in Ninja Fantasy and Empire Of The Spiritual Ninja amongst many others. What a muddle eh?!!!
