After the end of the world as we know it, the wise master Fumitaka calls all Ninja clans for a peaceful assembly. He is murdered by an unknown killer, and the leader of the Lost Clan is framed for it. He wants to find out who the real killer is, but before he can start his revenge mission, the Lost Clan members have to butcher a bunch of zombies living (or rather: existing undead) next door for some strange reason.
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa ('Tekken', 'Mortal Kombat') as Fumitaka is the only serious actor here. All the others seem to be a bunch of students. Asian movie fans will probably cringe in their seat when they watch the amateurish fights, looks more like a Saturday night tavern brawl than trained ninjas at work. Nothing needs to make sense here, for example the Siren clan wears shiny new skintight black leather, while everyone else wears dirty rags. The script must have been some kind of fanboy dream, filmed with a minimal budget almost entirely in somebody's basement, there are hardly any outdoor scenes to show the 'postapocalyptic world'. I think 'Ninja Apocalypse' was not a complete waste of time to watch, because it is one of those movies which are so bad they become rather funny, occasionally at least.
