Ninja Hunt

Now I'm usually more than happy to sit and watch (and laugh at) the ninja extravaganzas (cough) of Joseph Lai and Godfrey Ho.

What these films completely lack in even the most basic of cinematic merits they more than make up for in unintentional hilarity (usually at just how dementedly bad they actually are!)

This entry in the ninja cut and paste genre is one of the unfortunate exceptions to the above principle however, regrettably completely lacking the 'so bad it's good' factor and instead turning out as just plain BAD with no redeeming charms whatsoever.

Even Stuart Smith, whose overacting is normally legendary, gives a relatively subtle performance!!!

The final verdict? - Move along, there's nothing of any interest to see here.

I only have a couple things to say on Ninja Hunt, mostly, I want to make it clear that overall this is at the very least one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is not the worst though, only because it actually has it's uses, I don't know of many movies that are this much fun to watch with a group of friends while we make fun of it.

I really did think that the fight scenes were the highlight, everything else was just filler to me, I was literally on the ground laughing because of them and it is still being brought up in conversations years after I have seen it.

Quite simply, this movie is absolutely abhorrent, but I laughed through the whole thing, and any movie that is so bad that it is as funny as Ninja Hunt, deserves at least a 4 rating from me, but this one is special, so it gets a 5.

Man I can't get all the hate on this movie. This is my all time best favorite film. I've seen it over a hundred times. Geodfrey Ho is brilliant! This movie should have won several Oscars. There is so much drama and passion in this that I cried several times when I first saw it. Trust me this is movie making at its best! I would recommend this film to anyone. Hollywoods latest offerings are no where near the depth and quality of this film. The acting in this film alone is enough to warrant repeat viewings. If you rent or buy (I recommend buying!) you will NOT be disappointed. This is the crown jewel of all ninja movies. American Ninja? No where near. If you really want to change the way you think about action films please do watch.

Why did I pick this movie up to begin with? I knew what I was getting myself into from the start, but that sure didn't stop me. Deep within, from my innermost desire to hurt myself cinematically, a voice screamed "forward ho!!" with such enthusiasm and vigor that can only make you wonder if you really are in control of your life.

Getting home and sliding this attack on all that is decent into my VCR was the only thing on my mind for the rest of the night, and when I finally did, I took some notes to record how I was feeling; they look something like this: "Ninja Hunt? Where's the hunt?--- NO! Those people aren't even in the SAME ROOM! How can you expect us to believe two people are talking, if they aren't in the SAME ROOM?? It's just, it- no! NO!! It doesn't make sense!! NO sense! ARGGH!!--- AHh! Another ninja battle!!? YES I KNOW you are a ninja!! The writing on your HEADBAND saying "NINJA" tells me that!! WHAT? NO!! Weapons don't DISAPPEAR when they hit the ground!! Why do you expect me to believe this!?!? HOW can you expect me to believe that!? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?? WHY???? WHY!??"---

At the end of the movie was when I understood the full extent of damage this movie had done to me. It was then that I realized that I was going to be alone for the rest of my life. There was no way anything pure and innocent could ever love me from then on, because this movie, this heinous work of film had destroyed me. It had destroyed and broken me in a way that is so horrible, so hideous, it is reserved for Vietnamese POW camps and the ninth ring of hell.

Final judgement: Death

-Scott-

Ninja Hunt was a terrible movie. I bought this movie on a market. I knew that this movie would be stupid but Most ninja movies are very entertaining . But this movie is even terrible for a ninja movie. The story is terrible. The fights, acting, costumes, music are horrible.

If you like ninja movies i don't recommend this movie.

Ninja commandments, U.S.A against the hongkong killers are very entertaining ninja movies.
