Diamond Ninja Force

Sure this movie is terrible and drags a lot during the haunted house scenes but the sheer blatantly awful quality of the film is rather intriguing. The voice dubbing on the family who are living in the house is laughably awful. The film was obviously made with little effort or enthusiasm and the result is pathetic. I love the name of the family's son: Bobo. That's right Bobo. What the hell kind of name is Bobo? Have you ever heard of anyone ever being named Bobo? And when the people that provide the voice-overs deliver lines with the name Bobo as if it were a perfectly valid name I couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably! My favorite line: "Bobo! Don't tell lies!"

Anyway who cares about the worthless sub plot! This Movie has the word ninja in the title and legendary film maker GODfrey Ho at the helm, so you can expect some pure adrenaline pumping ninja action to kick your ass!

This movie has a fantastic opening where we see Ninja Master Gordon and his woman walking along the waterfront. They are confronted by a group of thugs who look like accountants and one of them boldly proclaims: "someone tells me your a ninja!" Woman: What are they talking about Gordon? Gordon: Nothing dear. just an old fairy tale. Some guy: I know how to find out if your a ninjer or not!" Then Gordon kicks their asses

The fighting is just absurdly bad. Some of the ninja movies i've seen have some good fighting in them but this one is bad for the most part because they use these lame overweight accountants in a lot of the action scenes and they don't know any kung fu at all and pose little threat to the invincible ninja master but There are these two Asian actors in this movie who play as stunt doubles and ninjas in a a few of these movies. I don't know there names unfortunately but one is the Leader of the golden ninja clan in ninja terminator i think. They luckily add a bit of excitement but the rest of the fighting is just Gordon effortlessly slaughtering the accountants. with the use of suriken, smoke and other amazement.

Fabulous film! I hope someone is transferring these movies to DVD just so they can be purchased or rented. they're not that easy to find.

Basically a sequel to "Ninja Terminator" only Richard Harrison's character is now Ninja Master Gordon instead of Harry. Everything else is the same, from his wife (Maria Francesca) and the Golden Ninja/Goblin idol to the awkward scenes with the Garfield phone. This time however the Caucasian Ninja storyline is intermixed with an Asian knockoff of "Poltergeist". The Black Ninjas want a sacred piece of land that contains buried magic talismans that will restore their Clan's strength in an ongoing battle with the Diamond Ninjas that seem to be represented only by Master Gordon. The head badguy Kogan, who has the absolute WORST taste in clothing, enlists the aid of a Ghost Ninja who in actuality is the ghost woman that haunts the family in the separate movie to secure this plot which currently a family of three resides on. The family consists of George, Fanny and their dopey son Bobo. Yes, his name is actually Bobo. Kogan also employs various pasty white guys who resemble more Sears employees than Ninjas though fans of Godfrey Ho movies know that this is the norm. The two story lines don't mesh well at all (no surprise) as the poltergeist movie isn't really interesting at all even with its occasional nudity and masturbating ghost. Can't say I would complain with being haunted by an Asian woman that wanted to screw my brains out but hey that's just me. The few fight scenes in the Master Gordon story are quick, stale, and utterly goofy. It seems all of these Black Ninjas like to fondle pistols in public places during the daytime. Not smart. This is pretty bad even for a typical Godfrey Ho movie as there is little to no momentum from beginning to end and nowhere near as fun as "Ninja Terminator". Many of the scenes shot at night are so horribly underexposed that I had no clue what was going on, not that I cared. Even Richard Harrison looks incredibly bored filming this garbage. So stagnant that it should have been called Cubic Zirconia Ninja Force.

Another mix up from Godfrey Ho, and this time it´s an old Japanese (I recon..) ghost movie, or whats left of it, with new Richard Harrison scenes added afterwords, some 10-15 years later. Apparently Harrison quit the movie buisness because of all the trouble he got from Ho and his paste-up jobs.

Anyway, the movie (the old one) is about a family moving into an old haunted hose. There are a dozen ghosts (some of them horny as hell), some maggots and other haunted house thingies.

The new scenes with Harrison is about a wizard ghost ninja who is making up all these haunted house horrors, so he can scare the family away and get this magic ...object...so he can become the most powerful wizard ghost ninja in the world.

Pretty much like it sounds like....so bad it´s good. recomended, sort of, but could induce headache and minor brain damage.

...the film for you if you're the person who walked out of 'Poltergeist' thinking that film would have been much better had the house been built on an ancient ninja burial ground rather than an Indian one...included a sub-plot about ninjas feuding over a statue of the golden ninja warrior...featured characters called Fanny and Bobo...stolen Jimmy Page music from the Death Wish 2 soundtrack...and starred Richard Harrison as Gordon, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies with his ninja skills, excessive use of eye liner and Garfield telephone. Fear not, what Hollywood got wrong, Godfrey Ho put right with Diamond Ninja Force. "there are no ghosts...only ghost ninjas!!!!"

Will Gordon be able to help rid the family of their ninja ghosts? propably not since the Richard Harrison footage was- as per usual- added to a film made a few years earlier ('Demon's Apartment' from 1985). Thanks to the wonders of editing though, he does regularly call them up on his Garfield phone to see how they are getting on.

Diamond Ninja Force is 'sort of' a sequel to Ho's Ninja Terminator, with Harrison defending the same ninja statue, living in the same apartment, using the same phone and with Harrison's real life wife Maria Francesca once again playing his onscreen spouse. The only spanner in the works that prevents this from being an official sequel is that Harrison's Ninja Terminator character was called Harry whereas here he is Gordon, but then again continuity was never a Godfrey Ho strong point.

(For the record this film is based upon a story by AAV Creative Unit)

Bad 1980's ninja film. Its so bad its funny-but not in a good way. The basic plot has a white ninja battling a dark ninja group because the bad ninjas want to take the land where they think their secret wealth was hidden after it was stolen many years earlier (this doesn't take into account the fact the bad ninjas kill the good ninja's wife because she can't tell them where he is). There's black magic and zombies...and the white guy ninja wears heavy eye make-up.

Oh,its awful. Bad fighting (you haven't lived until you see the ninja moves behind the candles), bad plot, worse acting, frighting music...and lets not talk about the dub. Its all horrible. And yes, its funny, oh how its funny, but for all the wrong reasons. Unfortunately,after twenty minutes the laughter begins to wane because the movie is just so bad it over whelms any unintentional humor.

Words fail me. This is just an awful movie. Funny or no, avoid this movie.
