  ★★★ Watched 21 Feb 2025

  Though derivative and filled with rote dialogue it still manages to entertain thanks to a good cast and intense thrills.

  This time I listened to the audio commentary by Sir Christopher Frayling. Pretty good, never boring or quiet.

  Revenge of the Ninja 1983

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 09 Jan 2020

  "Sonofabitch ninja!"- Mafia family enforcer

  "Only a ninja can stop a ninja."- Cho (Sho Kosugi)

  This movie is everything it should be, without a single boring moment, and just about as enjoyable now as it was when I first saw it at 14 or 15 years old. I've seen it many times since, but tonight was special because I finally got to show it to my son, and he loved it!

  ★★★★ Rewatched 13 Jan 2021

  (Raising hands to fight) "Are you ready?"- Mr. Dick, right-hand man/assassin to the boss (Dick Wei)

  (Kicking his hand before he finishes asking) "I AM ready."- Inspector Carrie Morris (Cynthia Rothrock)

  
  Michelle Yeoh (still being billed as Michelle Khan at that time) arrived on the Hong Kong movie scene playing bit parts and is wonderful here in her first starring role as Inspector Ng of the Hong Kong Royal Police Force. She's teamed up with Inspector Carrie Morris (Cynthia Rothrock)…
