Night Ninja Thunder Fox is a much better title than Ninja Empire. I don't know what it has to do with this movie, but it does sound more mysterious.
Just so you know, I hate AI writing. I've been tasked at work with using more of it and I feel like I'm helping Skynet kill John Connor, so this is really the worst timeline as writers like me look at our jobs being co-opted and a world where machines make art and words while we look at the kind of backbreaking work that machines were supposed to do. The Terminator didn't win through violence, they won by convincing those that can't create that creativity is no longer worth time or energy.
However, I thought it would be funny if I asked ChatGPT to write some of this and asked it, "How is Godfrey Ho like ChatGPT?"
Godfrey Ho and ChatGPT have some similarities, despite being different entities.
Creativity and uniqueness: Godfrey Ho is known for his unconventional filmmaking style, often combining unrelated footage from different movies to create a new narrative. Similarly, ChatGPT demonstrates creativity by generating unique responses based on the input it receives, sometimes coming up with unexpected and original ideas.
Adaptability: Godfrey Ho was known for working on low-budget films and making the best out of limited resources. Similarly, ChatGPT is designed to adapt to various topics and provide information or engage in conversation on a wide range of subjects.
Collaboration: Godfrey Ho frequently collaborated with other filmmakers, actors and production teams, often incorporating their work into his own movies. Similarly, ChatGPT is a product of collaboration between OpenAI engineers and researchers, who worked together to create and refine the language model.
Engaging with the audience: Godfrey Ho's films, despite their unconventional nature, managed to capture the attention of audiences through their unique style and storytelling. Similarly, ChatGPT engages with users by providing responses that aim to be informative, helpful and engaging.
Despite these similarities, it's important to note that Godfrey Ho is a filmmaker, while ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model. Their purposes, capabilities and areas of expertise differ significantly.
As you can see, the idea - that Godfrey Ho and ChatGPT are similar, came from a human brain. The rest is all filler, the kind a college student angry that they have to write 500 words on a paper would write.
But yes, Godfrey Ho is like artificial intelligence. The films change titles, they incorporate multiple movies, but they are viruses for my brain, named things like, well, Night Ninja Thunder Fox with eye-catching posters and odd choices and here I am, watching ten of them in a week.
Maybe the machines will win.*
Taking new ninja footage shot with nothing to do with the narrative of another movie, the Wen-Hsing Lai directed and written Fierce Lady, this movie even has a detective team - Brad and Bonnie's Detective Agency - split between the two totally unique halves of its whole. Brad (Marko Ritchie) sits in an office, surrounded by posters of motorcycles and Cobra along with a huge phto of Bonnie and cases of Coca-Cola, talking on the phone with Bonnie (Hsu Ying-Chu), who is the one getting into all the action, seeing as how she's in the other movie that takes so much of. Brad eventually has to deal with Decker (Mike Abbott), but for now, he's listening in on his partner and her adventures.
A student from Judy Chen's Modeling School named Pam calls Brad, telling him that she's located microfilm - microfilm is to Godfrey Ho as stolen diamonds are to Jess Franco - that has the evidence he needs for his big case. That school has some wild classes, including one where girls do aerobics until some criminals bust in and get decimated by the ladies. It almost makes you wonder why they have to go through with their business strategy of hooking every student on drugs and then turning them out as sex workers. It's like, I go crazy trying to figure out how Tanz Akademie ran a school where ancient witches murdered nearly every student. I worked in higher education marketing for years and it's incredibly difficult. One can only imagine how angry some people had to be, because their ads were good enough to get American girls to come and study there, and that old woman in the basement just wants her dead. How do they make actual money? I mean, I can see Judy Chen's plan. I guess there's more to sex work than modeling and they can claim 100% placement, which looks good to parents.
Bonnie is a student at that school now, the same place where her sister was killed, and if you think a movie about a girl's school isn't going to be full of the male gaze, you have not ever been on our site before. That said, fashion models fighting and killing evil men is a genre I think we can all support.
Somehow in all this, Brad reveals that he's a ninja and so is Decker. They can transform with finger signals now. Forget Shazam. They don't even need to say a magic word. Except even with all their magic, they fight with guns.
There are also some intense stabbing scenes and a final battle where Bonnie puts on a studded headband and goes full on Stallone - but with a crossbow - and kills everyone and everything. I am a fan.
My Shazam app lost its mind during this: "Run Nancy," "No Escape" and "Final Search" from the score to A Nightmare On Elm Street; "Eyes Are Mosaics" by Cocteau Twins; "Dolphin Dance," "Ride On a Ray," "Song of the Whale parts 1 and 2," "Phaedra" and "Poland" by Tangerine Dream (plus an Edgar Frosse version of that song); some of the Starman score; "The Narrow Way part 3" by Pink Floyd; "Back Door" by Clan of Xymox; "Pointless" and "Hurt" by Re-Flex and "A Nation Rejects" by Art of Noise. I'm still at a loss to figure it out, but I love every song.
My brain hurts from fighting T800 chat programs and Godfrey Ho ninjas.
You can watch this on Tubi.
*In fact, a machine would remember that they already watched this. I already posted this in June of last year and watched it all over again and it was like watching a whole new movie.
