As he loads up on weapons he takes a bow and AN arrow. One of the funniest parts to me was the clear, “Lets show everything a ninja can do!” in the last fight. Even cutting one of them would be a big help. It barely forms a coherent story, but it short changes all of these different elements. That’s to say it wasn’t remotely in the realm of possibility.Įven ignoring that, it just goes crazy with a romance story… an evil businessman story… a PTSD story… an oppressed worker’s story… a disgraced, evil ninja story… it’s just all over the place. Franco Nero as a ninja was about as believable as me being a ninja. Ignoring what this film begot, and focusing solely on Enter the Ninja, it’s astounding it inspired anything. It was inevitable I would reach this point in the project: The beginnings of ninja garbage.įollowing on from the kung fu explosion of the 1970s, the 1980s gave us a stream of garbage ninja nonsense, and it all began with Enter the Ninja from everyone’s favorite purveyor of 80s tripe, Menahem Golan. Check them out over at Vintage Video Podcast. We’ve listened to numerous episodes and it’s fun checking off their thoughts against my own.
#Enter the ninja streaming series
Quick side note: Since we launched this series this year, we’ve discovered that Vintage Video Podcast is doing the exact same project with two differences: First, it’s audio (naturally), and second, they are doing every major film. 2, 1981, and we’re off to see Enter the Ninja, Paternity, and Zoot Suit! In some cases, it truly will be the first time we’ve seen them. All films are also watched again for the purposes of these reviews and are not being done from memory. The articles will come out – in most cases – on the same day the films hit theaters in 1981 so that it is their true 40th anniversary. Yes, we’re insane, but 1981 was that great of a year for film. We’re going to pick and choose which movies we hit, but right now the list stands at nearly three dozen.

It was also the start to a major shift in cultural and societal norms, and some of those still reverberate to this day. 1981 was an exciting year for films giving us a lot of films that would go on to be beloved favorites and cult classics. Welcome to an exciting year-long project here at The Nerdy.
