I am Flabbergasted whatever that means..., 5 January 2006
Author:
rottingcarrot (rottingcarrot@hotmail.com) from Toronto Canada
I have seen a few ninja movies in my time. THe fabulous mafia vs. ninja
and The Super Ninja instantly come to mind, but I have NEVER....EVER
seen a movie like this. I've seen a few cut and splice ninja movies in
my time: diamond force ninja (moments of excellence,) ninja: American
warrior (moments of pure insanity) and ninja dragon (patheticly
ridiculous and virtually un-watchable) but i have NEVER seen a God
(godfrey ho) ninja movie like this!!!!! I'll make it plain and simple.
The other reviewer had it dead on: Jaguar wong is the coolest man in
history!!!! Usually these cut and splice ninja movies have great brief
ninja action sequences and terrible (different movie) sub plots that
are virtually un-watchable but ninja terminator (or as the title I
rented it under: silver fox and ninja terminator) brings the genre to a
whole new high!! THis movie makes no sense. I feel like I was just hit
by a train. This is pure insanity. Two films mixed into one. Jaguar
Wong vs. Some guy with the most lame ass blond wig i have ever seen
mixed with footage of indestructible Ninja Master Gordon { actor
RIchard Harrison (known is this film as ninja master Harry)} kicking
red ninja and other ninja's butts over the possession of the golden
ninja idol (the exact same lame ass plastic statue as seen in Ninja
Diamond force if i'm not mistaken) The ninja action sequences between
the different ninjas are amazingly top notch kung fu and NEVER and I
mean NEVER underestimate the power of Jaguar Wong. He IS the coolest
man in history and his kung fu does not disappoint. He NEVER gives up
and beats the crap out of anyone who dares stand in his way. Even when
he is tied up and has no chance of survival he....well just watch the
movie.
THis is easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. Somehow while
trying to quickly complete a ninja movie for profit in the eighties
Godfrey Ho and friends inadvertently bring a truly unique film to the
human race. If you can find it WATCH IT!!!!! If you have any interest
in kung fu or so bad it's good movie making you'll LOVE this!!!!!! What
the hell was that robot or Harrison's Garfield Phone?????!?!?!?! WTF!?!
INSANITY!!!

Gordon has trouble with crabs, 1 November 2003
Author:
LThomas72 from U.K
Can't really tell you a lot about this one as I watched it whilst pretty drunk. I CAN say that Gordon (Richard Harrison) was beset by mysterious clouds of gas at one point - created by what looked to be a small clockwork robot - (confusing for him in the extreme I should imagine). Oh, and his girlfriend is attacked in her kitchen by vicious marauding crabs - even Gordon himself looks a little unsettled by that one. I could be wrong but I think it might be VERY good...must watch it again and find out.

Ultimate Final Ninja Power Supremacy Champion Super Film, 19 March 2009
Author:
CsyAngela from United Kingdom
If anybody has sat down to watch a decent Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee film
and thought to themselves 'Hold on, you know what would make this
better? Really bad ninja fighting that has little to do with the actual
story, a story that makes absolutely no sense, and some of the most
random quirkiness ever witnessed on screen, that'd make a GREAT film!'
Then Ninja Terminator may be the film for them.
However, if they added to that 'Also, I'd like to see a love scene set
to Pink Floyd's Echoes, twice, and perhaps a guy in a blonde wig for no
reason at all'. Then 1) Ninja Terminator IS for them and 2) They have
uncanny and ultra-specific pre-cognitive powers.
Ninja Terminator takes the whole 'so bad it's good' movie ethos to
stratospheric levels, even beyond movies like Troll 2. What works here
is the movie that Godfrey Ho is tacking his usual ninja battles onto is
just about as crazy as the ninja battles themselves. I swear, there
must be a kung fu fight every five minutes or so, each of them getting
increasingly stranger until the penultimate fight on the beach
(followed only, of course, by the bizarre ninja showdown).
Without going into specifics and spoiling things, I'll make a vague-ish
list of what's nuts about this film: 1) Pink Floyd and Tangerine Dream
on the soundtrack. 2)Split second ninja costume changes 3) Weird use of
children's toys 4) Crabs 5) Pawning jackets 6) Random jacket changes 7)
Feet that dig sand 8) Dramatic wig removal 9) etc etc...
I've watched a few of these ninja films so far, and it's by far the
greatest one I've seen.
By the way, if you like actual good films, just reverse everything I've
said and take it as a warning.

Watch this film and join the ninja empire, 4 October 2006
Author:
somekindofmarv from United Kingdom
I'm extremely glad to read the other reviews for this film and see that
there are others out there that understand just how awesome this film
is. My recommendation is that you watch this film with a large group of
friends and a chilled crate of beer at the ready; you'll never look
back. When I watched it we blasted the volume nearly to full, and while
it was kinda painful during the opening scene where a bizarre
high-pitched squeal comes out of the mysterious golden case (pulp
fiction anyone?!!) it soon became a mind blowing experience. THX or DTS
this is not, but man does it pack a punch. In terms of scenes I was
especially fond of the extremely long shot of the gravestone and bank
of grass while the two characters explained the storyline. First class.
The red ninja trying to jump Harry in his apartment is legendary - he
just appears in his cameo ninja suit and mascara instantly and kicks
serious ass. Jaguar Wong was also a treble hard bastard. I'd miss-heard
his name and thought it was Jaguar One so when I asked my friend where
Jaguar Two was near the end I felt like a bit of a moron. Still, I wish
Jaguar Wong was my dad.
THIS FILM IS PURE CLASS

Watch for the "Directions to the Restaurant" fight scene!, 4 June 2006
Author:
ithearod
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
POSSIBLE SPOILERS - (Although a movie like this could really never be
"spoiled", it's so rotten to begin with!) Never in my life have I seen
a fight scene with the premise being, "Fighting for information about
directions to the restaurant". Keep a lookout for this scene. It begins
and ends with nothing more than, "Pardon me, but where is this
restaurant?", follows with serious ass-whipping, and proceeds to "So,
are you gonna tell me where the restaurant is now?!", whereupon, the
man points, and the camera swings, to illustrate the restaurant, a
dozen or so yards away. Priceless.
There are countless gems in this "It's one movie, it's not two movies!"
genre-film. (there's gotta be a name for the spliced B-movie genre,
right?) I won't list them all. Suffice it to say that Jaguar Wong's
part of the movie gets my vote for superior part of the film. Jaguar
truly is one of the coolest men to ever have walked the earth. Notice
how he *never* closes his lips, ever!! Chews his gum with his mouth
open *always*! He is the coolest, and his kung fu rocks, a nice
hard-kicking, joint-locking, modern hapkido style, powerful! See this
if you have a chance. And watch out for those wild crabs!

Absolutely Amazing. The BEST Film in the Universe., 7 May 2007
Author:
jack_macmichael from Lancaster
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Ninja Terminator is quite simply the most amazing film I have ever
seen, the mind truly boggles at it's unsurpassed magnificence.
If you are expecting big budget production qualities or remotely
recognizable actors then think again because this film has nothing of
the sort. Essentially this movie is pure rubbish, but that is its
charm. The total lack of cohesion between the plots of the two films
that have been obviously hashed together will provide the viewer with
undoubtedly the most hilarious experience of their lives. Fundamentally
it's two movies for the price of one, the tale of Jaguar Wong, who has
to defeat some evil syndicate boss who for some totally baffling reason
sports a terrible joke shop wig, and "Harry the Ninga"(sic) who must
defeat "Darren the Ninja" and some other guy to get hold of some
miscellaneous golden object, which according to the blurb on the box
will gain him "the super strength of the ninja sorcery". It must be
seen to be believed, total lack of budget, total lack of talent,
atrocious dubbing and editing and the most hilarious script you'll have
ever heard.
Once I finished watching this film I literally ached all over from
laughing so hard, I nearly gave myself a hernia, there is no way that
any movie could possibly even come to close being as side splitting
hilarious as this epic catastrophe in cinematography.
After watching Ninja Terminator you and those who have the pleasure of
watching it with you will be united through the pure, unintentional
comic genius of this film. Buy Ninja Terminator, it will change your
life.

Dub, 20 January 2006
Author:
Ardin Henderson from Edinburgh
This is one of the funniest films I have ever seen. The whole idea that
the actors are intending to release a drama/thriller to the kung-fu
loving West. I think if it had been released as a comedy it would never
have been as funny.
For people that keep saying 'I wish I hadn't seen the dub' there is no
movie that isn't the dub. Ho bought bits and pieces of unreleased and
uncompleted Asian films, from Chinese, Japanese to Korean and mixed
them together, with new shots of Western actors. There is no film other
than the dub, besides the poor dubbing adds most of the humour, its one
of the funniest aspects... why ruin it.

woo, 14 April 2006
Author:
weirdfish_hw from Ireland
This is the most fantastically spectacular movie i have ever
seen...well well well worth a viewing, and repeat viewings, if only to
try and figure out the following conundrums: 1. Why does the villain
wear a blonde woman's wig? 2. Why does the ninja attack a man with
several guns with a slingshot + folded piece of paper? 3. Why does he
have a Garfield phone??? 4. Crabs???!! 5. HARRY and BARRY the
ninjas????????and a camouflage ninja-suit?(genius)
What a movie...And I love his tennis suit, which he wears during
morning ninja-workouts. And the amazing special effects, such as
reversing a backflip off a ledge to make it look like a frontflip onto
said ledge...

One of the greatest rubbish movies of all time, 16 June 2008
Author:
bobdyland from United Kingdom
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
From the steamed crabs to explosive squash balls, diabolical dialogue
to extraordinary wigs, death threat delivering toys to the most unsexy
sex scenes ever, this has to be the very best cut and splice shitshower
ever to grace the home video market. Bizarrely the soundtrack is
genuinely good, as are some of the fight scenes.
Take the following conversation between Jaguar Wong (yes, that's his
name; the main baddie's called Tiger Chang) and Hapless Henchman 1,
bearing in mind that the characters don't actually know each other -
"Can I dying man have a last request? A cigarette?" "Well I doubt
you'll contract lung cancer before I kill you, hahahahaha!" "I
appreciate your concern for my wellbeing. Oh, and have one yourself...
I'd hate for you to remember me as a mean son of a bitch." "Hmmm, I
don't usually smoke this brand... but I'll do it for you." Watch this
film.

Look out! - It's a toy robot!!!!, 2 September 2005
Author:
HaemovoreRex from United Kingdom
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Here my friends, is a veritable Z-movie classic!
All the ingredients for a sure fire, fun filled evening are present in
great abundance in this: Dire dubbing/dialogue, a suitably goofy plot,
lots of fighting/action and a plethora of scenes that will leave your
mouth agape as you ask yourself...'What the hell just happened there?!'
As with all the other ninja movies by Godfrey Ho, what we are witness
to here is a completely separate and non-ninja related film into which
some newly shot ninja footage has been spliced, whilst an illusionary
link between the two unrelated stories is created and sustained by the
over dubbing.
It has to be said, that in the majority of these cut and splice ninja
outings, only the ninja footage is of any real fun. However, in the
case of Ninja Terminator, BOTH 'movies' prove to be highly enjoyable!
In the non ninja sequences we have one ultra cool dude by the name of
Jaguar Wong. Now let me tell you that this guy gets in more fights in
this one movie than most professional boxers have in their entire
career! Not only that but he wins every time with the utmost ease - in
fact he's just soooooo cool! (although he does get a bit roughed up
during the films climax by the always excellent Hwang Jang Lee)
And.....to top it all off, seemingly just to demonstrate just how cool
he really is, he has a constant smirk on his face during all this
action!!!! Wow! - What a man! Move over James Bond!
The ninja sequences are equally as energetic with loads of sword play,
acrobatics and people disappearing in plumes of smoke etc. (and of
course, as he often does in these films, Richard Harrison wearing heavy
mascara!)
But the best bit of all just has to be the rather bizarre method the
ninja empire utilises to send messages to traitors......they send a toy
robot!!!!!!!
Who the hell thought that one up?!
It really is a credit to the actors concerned here, that they managed
to keep straight faces during scenes like that!
All in all, if you have a good sense of humour then you should rush out
and watch this movie straight away! - It's all good natured (demented)
fun!
