Trivia:
The film was originally going to be totally filmed in Los Angeles but the expenses to film there kept growing (city permits, mandatory police officers, fire marshals, location fees, parking, etc). The Utah Film Commission was trying to get Cannon Films to start producing films in their state and a representative promised no permits, location fees, or union deals as well as lower salaries for local crews. This is why the films production was moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. moreGoofs:
Continuity: In the scene where Cho's son Kane is walking the streets, he stops at a unknown building, at a short distance away from the entrance. The scene cuts to him inside the deserted building, hitting piles of broken wood with a stick he found. In a scene later on, you can see him walking into the same building entrance, only the building is not the same deserted building he walked into earlier, it is his father's Japanese doll shop. moreQuotes:
[grabbing Kane by the shoulder]Cho Osaki: I told you not to fight.
Grandmother: Do not yell at him. He did no wrong.
Cho Osaki: I did not bring him here to America to fight in the streets with fools.

The best ninja-film ever made. A bit naive and weak on story, but the action scenes in this movie i one of the best ever made. Sho Kosugi & Virgil Frye has a reel talent in martial arts (but where are they now). A must for ninja-fans. I can't understand why this movie is banned in my country.
