Has anyone here on the Kung Fu Fandom forums got round to watching this Indonesian actioner, The Warrior & The Ninja(1983)?. Starring black belt Tae Kwon Do expert Barry Prima.

There's a good article on the movie over at Ninjas All The Way Down.

I never heard of an erotic ninja film before DrNgor, is this a whole genre in itself lol?.

That picture is from ZEIRAM 2, a fun sci-fi adventure from 1996.

There were seven or so KUNOICHI NINPOCHO movies in the 90s, of which YAGYU GAIDEN was the last. There was also LADY NINJA: REFLECTIONS OF DARKNESS, which was in the same vein.

No, I've only seen the Zeiram movies, which I'm a fan of. I haven't seen the Kunoichi Ninpocho series yet.

Hmmmm the plot thickens, so there might just be a version of The Adventure with added ninja action.

I don't think so, he is much admired by some bigwigs in hollywood. Think it was on netflix when I watched it.
