Thunder Ninja Kids: The Hunt for the Devil Boxer

This is the only movie that I have ever watched that was so painful that I was physically unable to watch the movie in its entirety. (I skipped a 20 min section near the end) At the beginning of the film a UFO flies around and causes a bunch of zombies to rise up out of the ground. Sadly, these zombies are not like traditional American-horror-film zombies at all. They more closely resemble a bunch of 6 year old Japanese children covered in pasty white makeup. These zombies are seemingly unable to walk and only move by hopping through the entirety of the film. The director chose to dedicate large portions of the film showing the children hopping - incredibly slowly - as they move from one place to another.

While hopping through some city the children notice a girl getting kidnapped and spend the rest of the film trying to rescue her. They probably succeed at some point.

Strangely enough there is a totally unrelated plot line that gets about 2% of the total screen time that is scattered throughout the movie. Here, we find that the Devil is trying to kill some guy who knows martial arts for some reason.

The only redeeming aspect of the movie comes when this second plot line (as well as the movie) come to a hilarious and abrupt end.

The only question that remains is: Who are the Thunder Ninja Kids? Are they the zombie kids? They weren't very thundery and they weren't ninjas and they also weren't the ones who fought the Devil Boxer. Or was it the martial arts guy? However, even though he was young he's not young enough to be called a kid and there was only one of him, and he wasn't very thundery either. A friend who had watched the movie with me said that the Thunder Ninja Kids weren't in the movie at all. I don't know if that is true or not and I don't care.

This movie should really be called Thunder Ninja Kids AND The Hunt for the Devil Boxer Double Feature being there are two plots which have nothing to do with each other. First plot involves Satan trying to get some sword so he sends ninjas to kill some and then Satan possesses him and fights his son for the sword. Second plot is with our loveable Ninja Kids doing their little vampire hop and drinking blood and rescuing a kidnapped girl who is held for ransom and is about to be sacraficed to satan (wtf?). While since these plots both have something to do with satan and could of been tied up at the end they aren't they just end each story on its own sadly. Anyway this is a great movie and I hope to see more from those loveable Ninja vampire thunder kids or whatever as me and a friend are going to try and collect the whole series.
