Viewing Notes
Final film in my Sunday ninja trilogy is one I don’t recall seeing before today: Pray for Death (1985), yet another Sho Kosugi vehicle. This time his family tries to make a go of it in big city of Houston (apparently Kosugi’s ninja identity is hidden from his family who watches him perform on TV). Things go south when Kosugi gets pulled into some kind of crime syndicate and ends up fighting Silver Claw Ninja. Easily the least unintentionally comedic of the three today but still quite good.
