Viewing Notes
Recommended by @BobFreelander, this was an attempt to fill a hole in my ‘80s era ninja movie watching, which is woefully incomplete.
Starring Shô Kosugi, the plot involves Kosugi’s family moving to the shit side of Houston and opening a Japanese restaurant. Would’ve had better luck with a methadone clinic. There they get harassed by some mobsters and a bunch of epic ninjaness occurs.
Campy fun in a way that could only have been a product of the ‘80s, and enjoyable stuff.
