Anton Bitel Little White Lies Jan 17, 2016
Revenge of the Ninja appropriates part of its form from the then-voguish slasher ("What is this, Halloween?", a character is heard to ask), and part from the gangster flick. Go to Full Review

2.5/4
the action flows well enough, and the only time the film grinds to a halt is when drama or character conflict is involved Go to Full Review

2/4
Director Sam Firstenberg delivers an exceedingly hit-and-miss actioner that remains unable, generally speaking, to become the enthralling work he's obviously intended... Go to Full Review

7/10
B-movie action fans will appreciate the absurd plot turns and awful dialogue alongside its genuinely cool stunt work ... This is essential '80s cheese. Go to Full Review

Anakin R Dec 6, 2018 Omg that's so cheesy.. even for an eighties film this was just.. it never captered me, or that eighties classic feeling..
Harry S Oct 21, 2018 In the opening scene, a child gets an arrow through the head by the evil ninja clan! The whole family is wiped out except for Sho Kosugi flees to America with his infant son. Years later, the evil ninjas track him down setting up the climatic battle of ninja vs ninja on the roof of a high rise building. 80s badass ninja action. See more
Harry L Jul 3, 2018 This movie is everything you ever wanted in an 80s Ninja Exploitation film. If you didn't want that, well, then you probably shouldn't watch a movie called "Revenge of the Ninja." See more
