Trivia

Menaham Golan & Yoram Globus passed on releasing this film for the producers; whom were looking for a global distributor to print their film for a worldwide theatrical release, mainly targeting U.S. audiences due to the sudd Ninja Craze that was starting to arise. The Cannon Group executives decided to pass on this film (due to the film "not having enough "Ninja Action" and lack of American actors"); in favor of producing and releasing a ninja film of their own, American Ninja (1985).

Notwithstanding low budget action - great fun!
4 March 1999 | by (Stockholm, Sweden) – See all my reviews

According to the director this movie was popular in Asia. It is somewhat difficult to take these Mats Helge movies seriously since most of his films are shot on a very tight budget. Almost no USD at all. But it is fascinating to establish that Mats Helge eventually completes something which can be called an action movie. The Ninja Mission is - I think - the best one among all movies directed by him. Some special effects are quite enjoyable. This is not a "B" or "C" movie. It is a "Z" movie - but an enjoyable and fun "Z" movie!
