Ninja Terminator Audience Reviews

Majorthebys Charming and brutal
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
thesar-2 Help me develop a drinking game for this movie! Here are the categories:• Hilariously bad dialogue/dubbing. • Number of kidnapped women. • Number of men in women's wigs. • Full-on men in drag. • Out of frame shots. • ADR. • Movie exposition. • Henchmen out of nowhere. • Silly Sound Effects. • Teleportation. • Mention of the Golden Toy-thing. • Bowing before said Golden Toy-thing. • Jackie Chan "humor fighting." • Garfield opening/closing his eyes. • Shocked Ninja faces. • Ninjas covering/exposing their faces. • Theft of American Movie Scores. • Summersaulting. • Men on the phone. • Attack of the crabs. • Busted car roofs. • Threatening toy robots. • The Ring VHS viewings. • Shots of women's hairy armpits. • Plausible plot points.Okay, granted, that last one is for the AA members. No real sense of reviewing this "movie." It was just an excuse for men to exercise, sell a few tickets to recoup the $5 budget and become another How Did This Get Made? podcast victim. I fell for it. And maybe you'll get a few laughs out of it, like I did.After all, it's described as The Room filled with ninjas.***Final thoughts: I still don't know if this was intentionally hilarious or not. The tonal shifts don't help. But, at least it's sidesplittingly over-the-top, mercifully short and thankfully free with an Amazon®Prime™ membership. Whew! Hiiii-yaaaah!
Nick Selwood Watched this again last night just to remind myself what a great director like Godfrey Ho can do.Ninja Terminator is unbelievable from start to finish. Notice the clever, abstract almost Lynchian touches where he seems to be showing us a different film from the one we are watching. See the amazing lifelike crabs in Richard Harrison's kitchen - not steamed crabs but drunken crabs...Now I ask you, what other film has got drunken (or steamed) crabs? Hmmm??? None! Thats right...and that shows why Godfrey Ho is ahead of the pack.The acting, as usual, is superb. The sheer presence of Richard Harrison carries the film as usual with a Godfrey Ho epic but the Jaguar Wong character also engages with his non-stop smiling persona and seemingly limitless energy as he beats up assailant after assailant with no problem at all.For more evidence of the greatness of Godfrey Ho and Richard Harrison look no further than their masterpiece, Ninja Squad, which I will review at a later date. Ninja Squad is perhaps an even better showcase of Godfrey Ho's talent and genius.
Glen McCulla This truly is the greatest nugget of cinematic manna to emanate from the dream factory that is (or was) the IFD stable. Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai - masters of cinema, verily, mightier than that saccharine Spielberg - sure knew how to knock out these gems.This opus in particular is a marvel. Check out the genius of ninja master Richard Harrison, with his Garfield phone, his penchant for shurikening helpless crabs, and his communiques from the Ninja Empire received via clockwork robot. At this point, my brain melted to mush.However, the kicking skills of Hwang Jang Lee, and the undiluted charisma of Jaguar Wong - coolest man in kung fu film history - kept me riveted to the screen like a rabbit in the headlights. As to whether our hero ever got to find Michiko's restaurant is unclear: I found it hard to see through the tears of hysterical laughter. Highly recommended for an evening of drunken ninja fun. Oh, and drunken crabs, of course.
Rautus Ninja Terminator is one of my favourite ninja films because it's so entertaining, the effects are fun to watch especially when the Ninja's shoot fire and smoke out and when they vanish in normal clothes then appear in their Ninja outfit. The fight scenes are good, I love that sound effect they use when they punch someone, also the Ninja fight scenes are good too especially near the end when the three Ninja's fight each other for the Golden Ninja Warrior. The plot for Ninja Terminator is that three Ninja's steel the three pieces of the Golden Ninja Warrior, a statue that makes a Ninja invincible. A Ninja then kills one of them and then returns the statue to his boss, Ninja Harry who has one of the pieces tells one of his men to protect the Ninja's sister and find out what's happened, so the main plot is him fighting of people trying to find out who's responsible and save the sister that later gets kidnapped while the other plot sees Ninja Harry trying to get the other two pieces of the Golden Ninja Warrior and soon being challenged to take on the two Ninja's that have the other two pieces of the Golden Ninja Warrior.Ninja Terminator is a great low budget Ninja movie that has to be seen. 10/10
