Commando Ninja

Fun, silly low-budget splatterfest. All tongue-in-cheek as it spoofs vintage action, sci-fi and horror flicks. But it ends abruptly and without important closure on the plot (to the extent that one exists). Were they planning on a sequel, or did they just run out of money? For a cheapie like this, they may have been forced to wrap when the camera guy's mom called him home for supper. Even so, if they ever do shoot Commando Ninja 2, I'll be there to watch where these folks go with it.

I thought this film was brilliant. It hits every single '80s cliche. Magnum PI, Commando, Predator, Miami Vice, any jean claude van damme film u name, terminator... the list just goes on. I will admit i do like my s****e films but that shouldn't put you off. Anyone over the age of 35 or so will find enough pop culture references to keep them at least chuckling throughout the film if not outright laughing. Definatly worth a watch and one of the more amusing films i've seen. Even down to the little touches like solar panels in 1986 and film posters that didn't come out till 2-3 yrs after when it's supposed to be set. (spoiler) I loved the way the kid managed to set a trap for the ninja in the time it took said ninja to walk up the stairs. The only film i can think of that was better for this whole schlock type thing was Iron Sky 2. The Coming Race.

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.

Commando Ninja is a weird hybrid action movie of any 80s pop culture references that you can think of and it hella beautiful not because it not only a good tribute to a glorious era fill with ninja, alien, dinosaur, robot.... but it also a proper movie franchise in the making cause after it end I really want to watch" Commando Ninja 2:The Wasteland right the f now. I give big props for the director and the cast for knows exactly what they are doing unlike those terrible and trying too hard to be funny 80s action movie knock-off out there Commando Ninja actually got a style of it own and it look so stunning and so 80s - like to the point that I thought it an actual movie and not a parody one plus the big battle at the mansion and the Red Ninja fight are damn near perfect. If there something I hate about this movie it must be the intentional horrible dubbing of some character

It's a boring, predictable knockoff of the golden era of action movies, filled with 2-bit humor for the modern masses (the same masses that speak in emojis, have no notable skills or any form of success, can't formulate proper sentences, and certainly can't handle the basics of adult life).

If that's you, which it likely is, you will love this movie!

If you enjoyed the movies of yesteryear because they were sincerely trying to make a good movie, and failed miserably, then you won't like this (for example, anything from The Cannon Group). Or, if you liked the movies because they actually had masculine characters that would stop at nothing to wipe out the bad guys (and remain unharmed the entire time), then you won't like this. Why? Well, similarly to the people who view this movie in a positive light, 'Commando Ninja' just isn't genuine at all. It is too forced, and that never works out well for movies, music or humor.
