Ninjas invading Phiilipiines.
28 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This movie started the ninja boom in the United States. Beautifully filmed in the Philippines we are invited to a story of jealousy between ninjas, marriage problems between Susan George and her husband (she has problems with her partners in all her films), blackmail and threats by a land rich in oil, a woman stubborn for keep your land no matter how many people die and the infidelity quota that puts a plus in the equation. Franco Nero is an alpha male turned ninja master but barely able to kick. Sho Kosugi is a jealous ninja who cannot control his emotions. The ninja master makes questionable decisions: Franco Nero cannot be the best under any circumstances. Things get complicated: Franco Nero will help a friend in trouble but later sleep with his wife. He saves the land but things will not be the same. There is no problem with the matter; if a person has whiskey for breakfast he probably deserves it. The boss of the bad guys is outrageous and unbearable. Hard not to hate it. He amazes the fidelity of his assistants. He ends up hiring Sho Kosugi since he was the only ninja available (he was even recommended by his master). Everything ends in a fight to the death where the protagonists die and Franco Nero leaves with the guarantee of returning. He made up the phrase I'll be back.
