Red-Barracuda Ninja Death is the first in a series of three films that seem to have been made at the same time. It begins as it means to go on with a truly crazed fight between three good guys defending a baby and a princess against a gang of ninja assassins and their evil overlord. It's a demented affair with an eye gouging, a suicide and men being kicked several metres along the ground. It gives a pretty good indication of the film we are about to see, as Ninja Death is quite clearly a very committedly ridiculous film, with characters such as a man in a gold all-in-one suit armed with a couple of hammers and another sporting a demon mask who pirouettes through the air. It's chock full of entertaining fights that are sometimes camped up to the max. Events seem to revolve around a bouncer at a brothel who is at one point attacked by a man disguised as a female prostitute.Essentially, this is a markedly better than average slice of chopsocky action. Its entertainment level is much better because it is more fearlessly ridiculous than most others and doesn't get bogged down with tedium like most in the genre do at some stage. Fast, frenetic and daft as a brush – that's this film.

Bezenby This review is for Ninja Death parts 1,2 and 3, as I think this is the only way you can get to see Ninja Death anyway (or Ninja Tiger, as its also called). Hopefully this review will give you an idea of the insanity that's on display.As you've no doubt read elsewhere, Ninja Death literally starts off with a ninja being killed, as a battle breaks out between a load of ninjas led by the grandmaster, and three brothers trying to protect a baby and a princess. After much fighting, the grandmaster steps in an tears one of the brother's eyes out. He beats another one into submission (and kicks him about 60 feet across the ground), whereupon the princess kills herself and the other brother escapes with the baby (or rather, a dummy is thrown off a cliff). Cue the creditless opening sequence, which can cause brain damage to those not used to these crazy films. This is only the first five minutes of Part One! Years later, Tiger runs a brothel, under the watchful eye of his pretend beggar master. We see Tiger touting for business and getting into a conversation with some hookers that wouldn't be out of place in a porno. There's also loads of nudity here for all you nudity fans out there. The whole point of this seems to be to introduce a Japanese brother and sister, who are working for the grandmaster and trying to strip Tiger of his clothes to see if he has a certain tattoo. This involves tricking Tiger into a room where the brother tries to strip him. Tiger gets the wrong end of the stick here: "Not the backdoor!" and his master soon gets wind of what's happening. Cue much training footage.Meanwhile, the grandmaster (who makes a dramatic entrance that must be seen to be believed) preps his ninjas and we get to see the devil mask ninja, who usually runs about at high speed, going especially mental every time the grandmaster plays a flute.The master sends Tiger to see a blind fortune teller and it's around this time the dubbing switches from American to English, just in time for Tiger to say 'plum flower' over and over again. The Japanese sister becomes his lover and everyone in the brothel is killed by ninjas. Tiger's master (who is a ninja) pays the grandmaster a visit, finds out the devil mask guy is his brother, and gets his arse kicked. End of part one.Part Two spends the first forty minutes explaining what happened in the first film and training up Tiger for his big battle. Turns out he's a Japanese prince, his master was his uncle, and devil mask is his dad. Also, his mum isn't dead after all. The dubbing is back to American again and truly becomes surreal, as if the dubbing crew might have watched the film once before dubbing. Part 2 picks up again as various battles break out, most notably Devil Mask guy going berserk and pulling a guy's head off with his bare hands before rampaging through the countryside, pulling people's guts out. Also, most of this part of Ninja Death takes place beside waterfalls for some reason, and the Princess sounds like Lady Diana.Part Three is where everyone gears up for the big battle. On one side you have the blind fortune teller and his crew, Tiger and the Japanese brother and sister, and on the other side you've got the grandmaster, devil mask, and infinite ninjas. There's a battle every minute and wait till you see a) The grandmaster's hammers, which detach themselves and fly at his opponents, b) Tiger's entrance to the big battle which involves him flying up into the air and things exploding c) Devil Mask's entrance to the last battle which involves him flying 400 yards horizontally through a forest and d) Loads of wire work, people flying about and a good pay off.Ninja Death really is up there as one of the most demented films I've watched. The dubbing is insane and gets worse as the film progresses. The fights are bizarre and even gory in parts (one guy gets one of the grandmaster's hammers straight to the face and its bloody as hell). One guy punches himself in the head to death and Tiger has a little adventure with some peasants that's completely pointless and mental at the same time. I'd recommend this one to fans of obscure, weird and bad films. Be warned though – watch it only in instalments. It took me about a week to get through them all and I was glad I did.

evil_monkey_super_ninja Warning: This movie is so intense that it will cause severe psychological (and possibly even physical) trauma for those who are unprepared. There are three movies in the Ninja Death series. In reality, it is one long movie split into thirds (this explains the previous reviewer's claim that there is no end battle; I assure you there is one, and man is it something). This was a responsible move on the part of the distributors because few possess the mental fortitude to handle it all in one shot. Before you watch this movie there are three movies you MUST see first in order to prepare yourself:1) No Holds Barred 2) Remo Williams the Adventure Begins 3) Invincible ArmorNinja Death holds claim to the following titles:* 2nd best exit from a fight scene (1st place goes to the jump through the wall in Invincible Armor) * Best entrance to a fight scene (no contenders) * 2nd best decapitation scene (1st place goes to the decapitation-by-sled in Jack Frost) * Best self-inflicted head-trauma scene (you have to see it to believe it) * Best outfit worn by a bad guy * Most intense end battle ever *** Greatest finishing move ever conceived of by man (no exaggeration)I won't ruin the movie by divulging plot details. I must concede that Ninja Death II is a bit slow at times, but I assure you, it's just the calm before the storm.

primesuspect-1 This was the best entertainment value I have ever experienced. I paid .99 for this movie - it was in a bin in a computer store of all places. I have paid a dollar for things that have paled in comparison to the laughter, loud exclamations, and pure joy that this movie brought to myself and a group of friends that gathered 'round to watch it with me.If you ever find this movie - don't rent it.. Buy it.I can't really figure out if the movie was intentionally poorly edited, and I'm almost positive the lead character's voice actor changed from an American to a Brit midway through the movie.... However, you can't help but wonder at the insanely long "sex" scenes and I felt more as if I were watching a direct pipeline into the director's boyhood sexual fantasies rather than watching a kung-fu flick.The fighting actually is pretty good. Most kung-fu movies can be divided into "intro", "training sequence" and "boss fight / revenge battle", but this one breaks the mold. It's more like "intro/training sequence", "long training sequence", "pointless sex scenes" and then NOTHING. There is no proper end to this movie. There is no boss fight. It's really, really weird.I loved it.
