Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
jessegehrig Let the Philippines be your backdrop to mediocrity! Come visit the sunny island nation of the Philippines where film production is dirt cheap. Extras will work for booze, like beer or moonshine, I mean it costs next to nothing! Enter The Ninja is indicative of a typical Golan/Globus production- horrible horrible writing and direction, mixed with non-stop sh*tty action, did that sell it for you? Let me sweeten the deal, the acting in this movie is also horrible horrible. Some one got a bargain on white dress-suits, everyone in the movie seems to wear one, perhaps most of the cast was paid in white suits, that's basically the same as money. Goddamn ninjas.
jcmcgee The reason that you've heard the word "ninja" is because of this movie.It's a mid 80's chop sockey film that inspired a huge (sub) cultural movement.Ninjas are to martial arts movies what Zombies are to horror movies...and Ninjas were introduced to us in the west via this movie.Jeez Louise with the negative reviews! I guess you had to be there at the time...but this movie caused a revolution...kids all over the world went from wanting to be Bruce Lee to wanting to be a Ninjas as soon as they saw this.Also, it wasn't really part of a trilogy...the others were just cash ins or vehicles for Sho Kushogi, they bore nothing to do with this movie other than the word "Ninja" in the title.
dworldeater It is unquestionable that martial arts movies are truly done best in Hong Kong. There are however some U.S. made movies of this type worth watching . Enter The Ninja is one of them. This movie I believe was the one that ignited the ninja craze in the 1980's. The white ninja Franco Nero may not know martial arts , but has charisma at least. The story and acting are not great , but it is a great excuse for some ninja action. Franco Nero and his stunt double take out bums that don't have a chance until he meets up with Sho Kosugi(who made a million ninja movies after this ). This is great campy entertainment where some of the over the top action and horrible acting would be out of place elsewhere . For B action flicks Enter The Ninja is gold, and delivers the goods . For what this is this movie is great.
Tango and Cash Any movie with the same cliché plot as "Ernest Goes to Camp" is gonna be a real stinker - particularly if it tries to be serious. Evil corporation tries to bully virtuous protagonist into selling land. Snooze.The characters are paper thin. There is no backstory to any of them - aside from the two main guys being former war buddies. Where did the poofy-haired character meet his British/Australian wife? How did they fall in love? Where did they meet? And most troublesome - how does a former soldier have the money to live in a mansion with beautifully landscaped gardens? Yikes.What war or mission in Africa did the ONE flashback come from? This was supposed to show the bond the two male characters had, but all it did was confuse me even more. What part of Africa (a huge continent)? What war? How did the war turn out? What did they end up doing after the war? Why is he living in the Phillipines? Why is the British/Australian wife so attached to the land? As she said herself, there is nothing but crime, gangsters, and poverty in their rural "town." Why would she want to stay, particularly since they're offering her and her husband millions of dollars for their house? Everything in this movie was confusing. Could have been written and directed and acted by college freshmen. 3/10.
