Trivia
This was the first film of a five picture deal for Lucinda Dickey who Menahem Golan wanted to make her a star very badly. The other films in the deal included Break Street 84 (1984), Breakin' 2 (1984), Breakin' 3, which was planned but fell apart, King Solomon's Mines and its sequel, Allan Quartermain And The Lost City of Gold. The latter three films didn't happen for her because she felt that both she and Cannon Films were totally tired of each other at that point.

Goofs
After the evil ninja comes out of the lake he is soaked from head to toe. In the next shot, he continues to fight police officers and is bone dry.

Quotes
Christie: If you're gonna book me then book me. Otherwise just let me out.
Secord: I'm not gonna book you. I wanna take you to my old neighborhood. There's a guy there I want you to beat up for me.

Alternate versions
The film was cut by 1 min 12 secs for its UK cinema release to remove all footage of metal throwing stars. All cuts were waived for the 2015 video release.

Ninjas + Demonic Possession= Pure fun

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
