              Another Thomas Tang patch-up work!

              Infamous Thomas Tang who sold film to Trans-World and Imperial entertainment done it again! He has a film about a women who goes after a kingpin for killing her husband and child, and ad scenes of a badly budded white bad guy (who turns into a ninja) battling a good white guy (who can turn into a ninja with a puff of smoke). The Ninja sequence doesn't blend in too well with the original film. Not recommended for those 80's Ninja fans.

              This is not a review!

              Amazing sword fights! High-octane action! Brilliant dubbing! Atmospheric music! Attractive characters! Well timed sound effects! No UK cuts! Tons of sexy babes! A seriously complicated plot! Overall, one of the greatest chop-sockies EVER! I'm so glad I spent my time in the company of this director's glorious vision. Bruce Lee, eat your heart out! Why isn't this film more well known? It is truly inspiring to see such genius on screen! I demand a re-release immediately! One with a old Star Wars type remastered print with lots of modern day special effects added to make it even better! I predict a Titanic type worldwide box office gross...

              Complete and total irrelevent c**p

              This movie is the most totaly meaningless peice of garbage I have ever seen. It's not the worst movie I've watched (that would be Warrior Queen), but it is the most irrelevent. This movie means nothing. I found it on a rack in a terrible video store that is filled with only terrible movies. It is made of two movies, one that is pretty silly on it's own, and another that seems to just be some stupid ninjas being silly. Throughout the course of the more meaningfull movie, there are interjected shots of a man punching hot sand while making a really stupid face. It is completely irrelevent. I laughed harder then I ever have before when this film ended. THe ending is two ninjas fighting for no reason, then it says "The End" with no kind of explanation. It's really really bad. I loathe the place I found it on basic princible.
