Thankfully, this finished off the Ninja films that were all the rage at the time.

This was one utter piece of tripe. It had no business finding itself among the Sho Kosugi numbers that were coming out yearly. The plot was a carbon copy of the previous ones. And the acting was so wooden and/or OTT it wasn't even amusing.

The action was barely passable. But it wasn't anything that hadn't been seen over and over again already. I felt like I had seen this many times before.

There is a very good reason why this video is found in cheap bins. Also why most outlets have this in the used/for sale pile. Translation; "Please get this out of here." Toss it.
