Member Secret Executioner Posted December 22, 2013 Member Share Posted December 22, 2013 LOL, dude has the best gifs. Says the guy who has always had funny gifs in his signature. To answer the original question, let's consider all the "Tommy Cheung", "Bruce Lambert" and other weird Western sounding names the directors of Filmark/IFD movies had were only aliases for Godfrey Ho. My Top 10 would look kinda like: 10 - Challenge The Ninja 9 - The Thundering Ninja 8 - The Ultimate Ninja 7 - 5 Pattern Dragon Claws (1982 movie starring Dragon Lee and Hwang Jang Lee) 6 - Ninja: American Warrior 5 - Ninja Masters of Death (AKA Project Ninja Daredevils) 4 - Ninja Dragon 3 - The Ninja Squad 2 - Secret Executioners (1982 movie starring Hwang Jang Lee and Jim Morris) And my absolute favorite: Ninja Terminator Need to watch Clash Of The Ninjas and Ninja In Action though, so it may change.

Nice grouping, but I'm surprised none of the "Thunderbolt" series made it. Majestic... and Scorpion... are probably my two favorites of all of mr. Ho's films. I've seen Clash of the Ninjas and it's WAY up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen RV. But its "sequel", Devil's Dynamite should have made my list. Guess I was more focused on MA movies. Nice grouping, but I'm surprised none of the "Thunderbolt" series made it. Majestic... and Scorpion... are probably my two favorites of all of mr. Ho's films. I've seen Clash of the Ninjas and it's WAY up there. Haven't heard of these "Thunderbolt" movies. Just checked out the trailers and they looked pretty whacky. I had heard of a Ninja Thunderbolt that looks pretty crazy though: 08s5ADe0DZ0 And thanks for the advice on Clash Of The Ninjas. I'll try and watch it ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The swiped footage is an above average modern action film pitting Wang Tao against Yasuaki Kurata. Really fun film. As a rule of thumb, if the word "Thunderbolt" is in the title, it's a must-see.

I think it's available on R1 DVD (thus without the Ninja scenes and Richard Harrison). As a rule of thumb, if the word "Thunderbolt" is in the title, it's a must-see.

I think it's available on R1 DVD (thus without the Ninja scenes and Richard Harrison). It's a Korean movie called The Uninvited Guest of the Star Ferry. I have reviewed quite a few Godfrey Ho/IFD/Filmark movies on my site - I find this site to be very handy for finding what source the original footage was from, alternate titles/versions, etc. http://goldenninjawarriorchronicles.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking back, I figured I could do a more general and not exclusively MA movies-oriented ranking - as The Silver Fox reminded me of the great horror movies Godfrey Ho made for Filmark. 14 - Silver Dragon Ninja 13 - Duel Of The Tough (1982/3 movie starring Eagle Han) 12 - Challenge The Ninja 11 - The Ultimate Ninja 10 - The Thundering Ninja 9 - 5 Pattern Dragon Claws (1982 movie starring Dragon Lee and Hwang Jang Lee) 8 - Ninja: American Warrior 7 - Ninja Masters of Death (AKA Project Ninja Daredevils) 6 - Ninja Dragon 5 - Devil's Dynamite 4 - The Ninja Squad 3 - Hitman The Cobra (war movie starring Richard Harrison and Mike Abbott) 2 - Secret Executioners (1982 movie starring Hwang Jang Lee and Jim Morris) 1 - Ninja Terminator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted January 2, 2014 Author Member Share Posted January 2, 2014 Wow GHW.........strictly NINJA movies! Not my cup of tea. Was looking for some Godfrey Ho "Classic" kung fu movies. Thanks for the response and Happy New Year. GD Y-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted January 2, 2014 Member Share Posted January 2, 2014 Duel Of The Tough, 5 Pattern Dragon Claw and Secret Executioner have no Ninjas, they are "classic" kung fu stuff (SE is set in modern days however). Devil's Dynamite has Ninjas but adds Robocop and vampires along. Pretty crazy yet very fun film. Hitman The Cobra is a war movie, no Ninjas either. There's another movie with Richard Harrison and Mike Abbott that's basically a war movie too, but they are Ninjas after a treasure. Can't remember the title though.

Member ThunderScore Posted January 2, 2014 Member Share Posted January 2, 2014 This thread has inspired me to revisit those Godfrey Ho titles before the onslaught of the Ninja or whatever was trending at the time. Here's a quick list of my favs off the top of my head: DRAGON ON FIRE aka THE DRAGON THE HERO (My first Godfrey Ho experience) MARTIAL MONKS OF SHAOLIN TEMPLE SECRET NINJA, ROARING TIGER WARRIORS OF KUNG FU ENTER THE INVINCIBLE HERO 5 PATTERN DRAGON CLAWS REVENGE OF DRUNKEN MASTER DUEL OF THE TOUGH SNAKE STRIKES BACK ENTER THREE DRAGONS aka THE DRAGON ON FIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Secret Executioner Posted January 2, 2014 Member Share Posted January 2, 2014 IIRC, it's HANDS OF DEATH aka ROYAL WARRIORS... Yeah, that was Hands Of Death. I remember having a doubt while I was trying to get the German Hitman The Cobra DVD because from what was said on a website where that DVD was mentionned, the film on the disc seemed to be Hands Of Death and not Hitman The Cobra.

Member Secret Executioner Posted January 20, 2014 Member Share Posted January 20, 2014 Little alteration to see where the Filmark production Death Code: Ninja fits in. 15 - Silver Dragon Ninja/Death Code: Ninja 14 - Duel Of The Tough (1982/3 movie starring Eagle Han) 13 - Challenge The Ninja 12 - The Ultimate Ninja 11 - The Thundering Ninja 10 - 5 Pattern Dragon Claws (1982 movie starring Dragon Lee and Hwang Jang Lee) 9 - Ninja: American Warrior 8 - Ninja Masters of Death (AKA Project Ninja Daredevils) 7 - Ninja Dragon 6 - Devil's Dynamite 5 - The Ninja Squad 4 - Bionic Ninja 3 - Hitman The Cobra (war movie starring Richard Harrison and Mike Abbott) 2 - Secret Executioners (1982 movie starring Hwang Jang Lee and Jim Morris) 1 - Ninja Terminator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Secret Executioner Posted February 17, 2014 Member Share Posted February 17, 2014 Anyone know where I can get a copy of Clash of the Ninja? It's available (among others) on a R2 2-DVD set recently released (October 2013) by French company Artus Films that I mentionnedin the Kung Fu box set thread: This set contains 3 Ninja classics from Filmark: Clash Commando (AKA Clash Of The Ninjas): 1:77:11, French and English dubs Ninja In Action: 1:85:11, French and English dubs Ninja: American Warrior: 1:85:11, French and English dubs Bonus features include: - Clash Of The Ninjas trailer - Paulo Tocha interview - Richard Harrison interview However, being that Artus Films is a very small company, that release could be hard to find nowadays.

Member ThunderScore Posted February 17, 2014 Member Share Posted February 17, 2014 That's a great set. The highlight for me was the Paulo Tocha segment, which was very nicely produced. CLASH OF THE NINJA(S) appeared a bit out of sync on my copy, tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLASH OF THE NINJA(S) appeared a bit out of sync on my copy, tho... Haven't watched Clash Of The Ninjas (nor Ninja In Action actually) on the copy I have, but I guess mine will have the same issue. (but it's indeed a great set, highly recommended to anyone who likes those weird Ninja cut-and-splice films) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
