Searching to see if there was any movement on Sho Kosogi's biography (came up empty), but came across a Japanese book Sho released in 1990.

Thanks for reviving this thread @DragonClaws.

NINJA III: THE DOMINATION is big ol' helping of ultra-fun '80 cheese! The recent Blu-ray release from Shout! Factory looks terrific, and the audio commentary is a total trip.

Never thought I'd get to see a FlashDance inspired Ninja movie, certainly has one of the most OTT movie openings of the 80's.

Dont ask me how I remembered this cause I havent heard this song in like 10 years or more but this song sampled the opening theme, they just slowed it down a little bit Im known for recognizing samples but this one i gave up on until i popped in my head randomly the next day. Ninja Avenger is just one part of the beat, the voices part in the beat is from something else that i dont of

This is another title you may like but I yet to watch it so cant pass judgement on it. Also starring Elsa Yang, who according to @DrNgor was the go to lady for Taiwanese ninja films of the early 80's.
