Critic Reviews for Revenge of the Ninja

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1)

Revenge of the Ninja appropriates part of its form from the then-voguish slasher ("What is this, Halloween?", a character is heard to ask), and part from the gangster flick.

B-movie action fans will appreciate the absurd plot turns and awful dialogue alongside its genuinely cool stunt work ... This is essential '80s cheese.

Audience Reviews for Revenge of the Ninja

Feb 15, 2013

This was a really enjoyable ninja action drama film. The fighting is excellent, the story is good, not perfect, but good, and the cast isn't bad either. It might not be the most original plot, but with all the good action, it didn't matter.

One of those film i loved so much as a kid that i wore out the video tape out, not seen for 20 years or so.problely aged badly like the first American Ninja so the high stars are for my childhood..I remember this one to be the best out of all the ninja movies of that time and given the chance would happly sit thou it again...
