Alternate Versions

Rumour says the original cut is 8-hours long. That's not accurate. This saga is composed of three sequels, ALL named "Ninja: The Final Duel" by overseas distributors. It's hard to keep track of them all, and bootleggers used to put all three on one single tape and call it simply "Ninja: The Final Duel", thus giving rise to the 8-hour production assumption. Versions on TV and home video have bits and pieces of each film mixed in, but the DVD release by Crash Cinema is the second volume of the "Ninja" series in its entirety.

User Reviews

Alexander Lou and the usual gang in a shaolin vs ninja flick!

Ninja The Final Duel is a very entertaining ninja/kung fu flick, it has some great fights, a naked chick that fights, bloody deaths, ninjas, monks from all over the world and so on.

The story is about the shaolin temple and its monks who are attacked by ninjas.

On the one hand, the monks fight beautifully, and they also have a typical shaolin master who looks totally silly. Alexander Lou is some sort of a monk and a ninja. He usually hangs out with his friend who is categorized like him( His friend is the little Chinese guy who participated with Lou in Mafia Vs Ninja). Actually, his black friend who participated in Mafia Vs Ninja, The Super Ninja and Ninja The Final Duel appears later, and he fights well as he does in the other films.

On the other hand, The ninjas have a great time of ninjas who can jump onto water spiders that can fight against the monks. Those ninjas know how to disappear mysteriously. Moreover, the ninjas have an evil leader who makes them slaughter monks and other Chinese people.

Ninja The Final Duel is actually a fine ninja flick! It has good fights, cheesy and bloody fights, even though that The Super Ninja in which Alexander Lou participated too is much better. Recommended for the fans of cheesy martial art flicks! 7/10
