Enter the Ninja

By a_pint_of_milk

I stumbled across this movie on cable one night and decided to watch it as I had nothing better to do. I'm glad I did. This movie is excellent. Franco Nero stars as Cole, an American who after finishing his training at ninja school travels to the Philippines in order to fight the ultimate-ninja (Sho Kosugi). With the help of his friend Tobias (Harry Dean Stanton), they embark on a daring mission to stop the ultimate-ninja resurrecting the evil spirit Mhlonja.

Menahem Golan (Delta Force, Mack the Knife), does an excellent job directing here. In fact, he was shortlisted as best director for this movie at the Mouvre film festival in Switzerland. The story culminates with a showdown between Cole, the ultimate-ninja and rather bizarrely, a gang of clowns. I won't spoil the story anymore than that.

I can highly recommend this film to fans of the genre and those who want to see some of the finest choreographed fight-scenes ever shot.
