NINJA Vs MAFIA

THE STORY: Jack Do and his friend Charlie Woo begin working for Mr.William Chung, 'the boss'. Mr. Chung's organization provides protection from the Japanese Mafia in Shanghai. But the evil Ninja leaders of the Japanese have Chung killed so Jack and Charlie swear to avenge their master. The ninjas hire several hitmen to finish them off, but Jack and Charlie manage to kill them. In the climactic final battle, Jack finds out that the final ninja is his girlfriend.

This movie sports some of the craziest fight scenes I have ever seen! The final battle I remember seeing before in the eighties on a Saturday afternoon with my college roommate! (is there anywhere left in the US where local stations have their "Chop sockey theater" shows? Basically showing two karate flicks on a sturday afternoon. Ah, youth....)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?:

1.) Charlie's master plan to catch a rapist is pretty dumb. He simply attacked the first person to come down the street!

2.) In order to kill Chung and destroy his men the ninja's hire four hitmen. Why do Ninjas need to hire hitmen? I thought Ninjas were supposed to be the ultimate hitmen!

3.) Jack and Charlie ambush the ninja's and one of the hitmen. Charlie kills a bunch of them himself. (by swinging on a rope!) But later on the movie he is afraid to fight one of the hitmen...I don't see why...He killed a half dozen Ninjas by himself.

HUH?: Susan decides to leave Jack a note explaining her involvement with the ninjas while he sleeps. The scene leads you to believe she did so, but obviously she didn't because Jack still doesn't know what's going on!

Jack is always sweaty. In every scene he's sweating like a pig.

Okay, this is something I find strange. Susan tells Jack she's one of the ninjas and he is shocked. He exclaims "You're Japanese!?" You mean he didn't know? Isn't that kind of like saying all black people look alike? I had a Chinese friend once who got really upset if someone mistook him for Japanese and he read me the riot act about it. I find a it hard to believe that people in China can't tell when someone is Japanese.

One of the guys Jack plays cards with in the casino scene looks like one of the guys he beats up in the Italian restaurant scene.

The music at the end of the movie is the theme from Battlestar Galactica!

The final fight scene is hilarious! The ninjas can apparently turn into clumps of grass, and only be defeated by a tree that Jack starts swing around!

I don't think anyone will be shocked to learn that Susan is the last ninja in the purple suit, but in a bunch of the fight scenes its obvious that there's a man in the ninja suit with makeup on!

THE TALLY: Hilarious! I've seen crazier karate flicks, but the flips and ninja's turning into grass and other things are great! Complete with the ridiculous sound effects whenever someone gets hit!
