Ninja the Final Duel

There is one all-important reason you should view this film: The Ninja Water Spider Attack Team! One of the most insane ideas ever to be recorded on celluloid: ninjas hopping about a lake on top of giant, rubber spiders! The other ninja teams're pretty good too, especially the dudes who dig super-fast under the ground. Also worth looking out for is the sequence where the fighters do their formation-marching in front of their leader: one pattern they assume is a swastika-shape, like something from "Springtime for Hitler"! Oh yeah, one more thing to watch out for: the totally naked girl fighter who likes to do high kicks! The original film/series that this footage comes from supposedly runs for hours and hours! Some more of this footage can be seen in Shaolin Dolemite.

Ninja The Final Duel is a very entertaining ninja/kung fu flick, it has some great fights, a naked chick that fights, bloody deaths, ninjas, monks from all over the world and so on.

The story is about the shaolin temple and its monks who are attacked by ninjas.

On the one hand, the monks fight beautifully, and they also have a typical shaolin master who looks totally silly. Alexander Lou is some sort of a monk and a ninja. He usually hangs out with his friend who is categorized like him( His friend is the little Chinese guy who participated with Lou in Mafia Vs Ninja). Actually, his black friend who participated in Mafia Vs Ninja, The Super Ninja and Ninja The Final Duel appears later, and he fights well as he does in the other films.

On the other hand, The ninjas have a great time of ninjas who can jump onto water spiders that can fight against the monks. Those ninjas know how to disappear mysteriously. Moreover, the ninjas have an evil leader who makes them slaughter monks and other Chinese people.

Ninja The Final Duel is actually a fine ninja flick! It has good fights, cheesy and bloody fights, even though that The Super Ninja in which Alexander Lou participated too is much better. Recommended for the fans of cheesy martial art flicks! 7/10

The kind of movie to watch on a Sunday morning! As a lover of oldschool kungfu movies, this is probably the best of the worst. Inflatable water spiders, kinetic thunderfists and tigerclaw warriors. What else do you need?!

Alexander Lo Rei stars in this fun fun fun Ninja film. It starts out with some Ninja training going on for 10 minutes or so, and this is worth the price of admission alone, some great fun scenes with great disguises, Ninjas walking up trees and giant inflatable spiders.

You also get Shaolin monks thrown in as well as 2 American wannabe monks and a couple of Japanese fighters that want to help the Shaolin Temple against the Ninjas.

It is a reel hoot, but it is a little let down by being a bit disjointed, characters just seems to disappear or appear in the next scene in a completely different scenerio to where they were before.

Ninja fun 8 out of 10.

NINJA: FINAL DUEL packs an awful lot of zany fun into its ninety minutes running time. With its naked kung fu chicks, water spider assault teams, jive-talking black monks, ninja swastika formations, cackling bad guys and long-eyebrowed Shaolin monks, this movie sounds like a dream-come-true for fans of trash cinema; but, thanks to a complete lack of a cohesive narrative, it ends up as something of a disappointment. Whilst I am the first to admit that a strong storyline isn't always a major requirement for a martial arts film, when a film feels as disjointed as NINJA: FINAL DUEL did, then I'm gonna start deducting points!

A team of nasty ninjas plot to take over China, but are defeated by the legendary monks of the Shaolin Temple. Disgraced, the ninja leader commits Hara-kiri. After this failure, another team of fighters is gathered together for a new attack.

After he is not picked for the new team of ninjas, talented fighter Wang Chi Chung travels to China to try to learn the secrets of Shaolin martial arts. When the evil ninjas finally launch their attack, Wang Chi Chung switches allegiance and uses his skills to help defeat the Japanese invaders.

Pieced together from footage excised from a TV series, NINJA: FINAL DUEL really feels like a 'Frankenstein's monster' of a film, leaping awkwardly from one scene to another and introducing new characters at the drop of a hat. A dreadful voice-over introduces viewers to the ninjas at the beginning of the film, explaining their methods of training, but after that we are on our own; I strongly suggest forgetting about following the story and just concentrate on enjoying the crazy happenings and impressive acrobatic fight scenes.

Better still, consume several pints of lager before watching; it can only improve your viewing experience.
