(1985) 9 Deaths Of The Ninja
ACTION
Written and directed by Emmett Alston, which according to RT "Meant to be a parody of the martial arts genre" but if that is what it's supposed to be then I must be missing something here, because I thought it failed on all levels since the fights were badly staged that could use better sound effects, when their aren't any except for the explosions etc... The plot is a dime-a-dozen which centers on some kidnapping of some English speaking tourists or Asian while riding on a bus somewhere along the Philippine jungle and the terrorists who hijack it for a release of one terrorist hostage who also happens to be a Philippine terrorist who seems to be quite useless once release. A group of three (who are suppose to be the best) are then sent to save them- one is of course Sho Kosugi (who was also credited for the martial art choreography) another is a mercenary who happens to be a Caucasian and a Cauacasion female whose supposed to be an expert on explosives. Oh, and one last thing some of the terrorists also include model-like Caucasian women. Actor Sho Kosugi's son also has a small part in this as one of the hostages. I probably counted at least 10 cringes on my forehead upon watching this.
