Commando Ninja

I am an 80's fan. I love cheese, sexy women, action, adventure and machismo. Modern movies seem to lack all these things. The grit, the blood and the sweat is lost in today's movie making experience.

Then independent film makers emerge and give us something mindbogglingly glorious like Commando Ninja, which can be found via youtube.

It seems only way modern movies can capture the lost enthusiasm of the 80's today, is to make a small production yet innovative, whacky, balls to the wall, cheesy nostalgia satire/riff of those movies we once loved as kids in the 80's and early 90's.

Commando Ninja seems to combine Godfrey Ho(Director of many 80's Ninja movies), with Arnold Schwarzenegger's Predator-esque ninjas, and throws it in a blender with some funky, 80's inspired schlock and music and you know what, it works....it works well.

The plot fairly simple. A man on a mission to rescue his family and friends, who are being killed off by enemies from the past. Then you throw in tons of cheese, revenge, and testosterone filled heroism. It's a a mix of flashbacks and the current day 1980's settings and fans of 80's action heroes will spot homages to Rambo, Predator, American Ninja and everything inbetween.

The movie is loads of fun and I highly recommend watching it, then purchasing the soundtrack if the musical score impressed you as it did me.

I give it an easy 9.5 out of 10. Tons of fun, action, homages, innovative film making that reminds us that small production values, nostalgia and testosterone can work.

This is all over the place in terms of pacing and references (down to certain specific iconic shots) BUT it's made with love and full of gore and action. The plot is weak and there's no ending really, BUT when you have so much 80's cheese, you can't go wrong. Much better than Kung Fury!

I loved this movie! Brought a huge grin to my face the whole time with the epic 80s cliches coming hard and fast. Even watched the Making Of doc. Definitely recommended if you're an 80s kid.

You gotta love a film whose tagline is "50% commando, 50% ninja, 100% American".

The 1980's has produced some of the "greatest" classic action films, "Commando Ninja" simply continues this tradition with "great" dialog, "fast-paced" action scenes, "top-notch" special effect, an "intelligent" plot and lots of explosions, decapitations, amputations and severed arteries.

I bet Stallone and Schwarzenneger must feel a little envious for not being part of this cinematographic masterpiece.

And best of all, it has been dubbed!

Commando Ninja is the best thing I've seen in a long while. Kudos to the Freench for making one of the best American Action films!

Yes, that's right this movie is called Commando Ninja. If that sounds good to you then you won't be disappointed. This is mostly a homage to Commando and any number of those Cannon Films Ninja flicks. This also has elements of pretty much every 80's action movie ever made. Growing up in the 80's myself, I thought this was hilarious. This delivers the goods with an overload of testosterone with lots of muscles, guns, babes, extreme violence and of course lots of ninjas. The tone of this is very cheesy (in a good way) and very tongue in cheek. Commando Ninja is on 11 at all times and sometimes borders into the absurd. I did enjoy this a bit and was a crowdfunded film, so I want to thank all the donors to that getting this made. The lead for this is in legitimate action hero shape and is very credible for the part. If you are a fan of 80's action movies, you need to check out Commando Ninja.
