Ninja Knight:Thunder Fox

I think this had the least amount of ninja footage of any Godfrey Ho ninja movie out of the ones I've seen so far.

Does a shotgun wielding Mike Abbot make up for the lack of ninja's?,

Yeah the whole shotgun thing was crazy. It also helped that the original Taiwanese movie, Lover and Killer, was bizarre enough to where I'd like to see it in its original form.

I guess IFD were a bit ninja-ed out by the time they made this one, thanks for the feedback.

Re-posting my old Enter The Ninja review from last year, for a weapons themed Monthly Mutual Reviews thread, sadly the thread was lost during the forum black-out.

Please click on the link below, for my ninja inspired ramblings, thank you.

Thanks for that I didn't know, just checked upcoming movies on CBS and as well as American Ninja 2 & 3 they've also got Avenging Force as well as a few other Dudikoff & Chuck Norris movies, wonder why they aren't showing American Ninja 4.

No problem, not sure why they have left out Part 4?.

Maybe one day, Issac Florentine and Scott Adkins will work on a third Ninja movie?.

A comedic re-make of erotic thriller 9 & A Half Weeks, with Ninjas?, only in the 80s.

"The first erotic Martial Arts comedy", surely that award has to go to an Asian production?

It might happen one day, who expected The Master T.V show, to get a HD release?. There's a few lesser known titles from this sub-genre, that could do with a decent release.

 

The U.K DVD release.
