Ninja III: The Domination

Ninja III: The Domination was one of those 80s movies that were always on TV, and were pure entertainment. Nobody knew why it was called "Ninja 3" and no one really cares about it. This 80s Cannon Films were great, no doubt about that. The plot: a near-immortal black ninja posses a beautiful babe to make her commit revenge against the cops that kill him. Thats basically the story of this gem.

The first action sequence of the movie is amazing, pure action, lots of ninja action and gunshots with cool and absolutely dated synthesizer movie (i love this music in this 80s films). No logic, lots of plot holes this is a no-brainier that its very enjoyable

7/10

A highly unusual formula ("The Exorcist" meets "Enter the Dragon") is injected into routine martial arts film. Martial arts action (and there's plenty of it) and second rate special effects compensate for lousy acting. An innocent woman (Lucinda Dickey) is possessed by the spirit of an evil ninja assassin (David Chung), causing her to murder the police responsible for his "death." It's Sho Kosugi ("Enter the Ninja," "Revenge of the Ninja") to the rescue as he tries to rid the spirit and destroy the ninja once and for all ("Only a ninja can destroy a ninja"). Best in the series, but only one complaint: Kosugi has very little screen time. My evaluation: **1/2 out of ****.

Wow. I've never seen nor heard of this film. It just came on tv (2:00 am) and I am in complete awe. Setup: a bunch of rich fat cats are out golfing. One knocks a ball into the rough. It lands by a NINJA!!!! A tuxedoed man walks over to pick the ball up. The ninja grabs it. Crushes it in his hand. Man pulls gun. Ninja pulls blowgun. Ninja blows dart into gun barrel. GUN EXPLODES!!!! This is just the beginning of the greatness, people. Everyone must see this movie. 10 big ol fat stars from trusty.

I was a big fan of ninja movies in the mid-80's, and some of the late 80's. I first saw this movie back in 1985. It's the second best ninja movie ever made. It's very entertaining. Plenty of action in this movie. It is nearly as good as Revenge of the Ninja. I give ninja III:the domination ***1/2 out of ****

This is a pretty silly film, including what may well be the least erotic come-on ever to make it to the big screen (the heroine pours V-8 all over herself and invites the hero to lick it off -- yuck!). And yet it also features the resplendent Lucinda Dickey in what is far and away her most erotic performance. In those long ago days, women -- even action heroines -- with real muscles were a rarity, and I can still remember the way my jaw dropped when Dickey took off her shirt, revealing the most powerfully built female back and biceps I'd ever seen. Dickey's beauty and vitality carry the film: she could have been a female Schwarzenegger if anybody had had the vision to promote her.
