For this week’s Trailer Tuesday, we bring you the trailer for the awesome 80′s ninja movie – AMERICAN NINJA!
The ninja was the superhero of the 80′s. A ninja is like Superman, Batman, The Flash, Wolverine and Spiderman all in one, and I’m sure that one ninja alone could probably whip all of those hero’s asses at once with one arm tied behind it’s back. While we’ve only reviewed the first American Ninja, I have several and I’m just waiting for the right time to give them a review. In the meantime if you’re curious about Michael Dudikoff and American Ninja check out our review here!
Ninjas are the closest things to comic book super heroes that we have ever seen in the history of the world. They can evaporate into thin air, they can destroy entire villages with their bare hands, and they can walk on water. I’ve learned quite a few things from watching Ninja III: The Domination, and one of those things I’ve learned is that a killer ninja can transfer his soul through his sword to another person. One other thing I’ve learned is when those crazy ninjaspirits try to take over your body, you might be able to hold them off for a little by practicing aerobics while putting on crappy 80′s pop music that was hastily written minutes before recording – but that’s only because those crazy ninjaspirits are just messing with your head. You can never resist crazy ninjaspirits.
Take a little bit of Kung Fu Hustle, mix in some Flight of the Conchords, and then redub English with more English and you get the 2002 Tongan Ninja.Jemaine Clement (“The Flight of the Conchords”) co-wrote this cheese-ball action/comedy/musical about a pair of young friends who crash land on the island of Tonga.While trying to save the 2 boys Sione’s father’s legs are eaten by fish and he dies.So the boys must stay on the island where they are trained by Master Nagasake in the martial arts.
Gymnastics and martial arts, sounds like the perfect mix. You could be doing a back flip and kick some dude in the cherries, or maybe do some crazy cartwheel and become a windmill of kicks and punches. Maybe you could even be a world champion gymnast with a mullet and become the best hope for the SIA (the Special Intelligence Agency, of course) to compete in a deadly game that could influence the fate of the world! Maybe not, but it makes for an interesting if not comical film by acclaimed martial arts film director Robert Clouse, 1985′s GYMKATA!
