Chinese Super Ninjas

The movie starts out by saying it’s based on Ancient Japanese catalogs and collections like the Samurai manual and based on many contemporary works of Japanese writers. Hey wait, I thought the title was Chinese Super Ninjas. This is an old school kung-fu theater type of movie. Traditional garb with badly overdubbed white people voices. Lots of sweet kung-fu action with various weapons that I’m sure they made up, rather than finding in some ancient Japanese text. The movie starts with some Chinese fighters hacking at each other. They throw in a Japanese samurai and he ends up killing himself honorably. But not until he sends for a Japanese ninja to answer some sort of challenge. And not until he poisons on of the head Chinese kung-fu guys. Whoa, now there are gold ninjas spinning golden umbrellas to blind the Chinese fighters. The umbrellas now have blades and now the blades are being shot from the umbrellas. I’m guessing that since today’s technology hasn’t invented these
umbrellas, these aforementioned Japanese texts don’t have them either. Now there are brown ninjas. And now there are blue ninjas. It’s like a gay rainbow ninja movie. Wait, now there are red ninjas. And now tan ninjas. Now there’s a random girl who’s uncle has forced her into prostitution. This story line is so
complex with all the colors and whores. There’s cool action, but the plot really isn’t all that solid (like a lot of kung-fu movies).
