Alternate Versions
The broadcast version of the film edits the scene where the heroes rip the lead villain in half, making it look as if he is still in one piece, as well as an extra scene involving Tien-Hao and Shi Sheng speaking after the master's plan is discussed is deleted. See more »Soundtracks

When the leader of a clan of elite Chinese warriors receives an invitation to a battle at five locations from the five elements ninjas he suspects a trap. Rightly so - when he caught one of the ninja's rings thrown to him by a disembowelled samurai he was poisoned and he knows he is now unable to use his kung-fu for 'about three months'. So, he considers the offer carefully but eventually decides to follow the elaborate instructions on the invitation to the letter. 90% of his best warriors are predictably ambushed and wiped out, including one being slain by the perverted 'earth' ninjas. What will happen next? Who cares. It will be funny.
