Viewing Notes
Decided to give Tongan Ninja (2002) a go because it just looks ridiculous. And it is. It takes a basic 80s ninja trope and pokes fun. The premise is two disagreeable brothers grow up on an island trained in the art of the ninja (not really ninjitsu here, folks).
The good brother leaves the island and gets caught up defending a girl and her restaurant from a mob boss. The mob boss hires the bad brother to fight the good brother. Enjoyed the build up more more than the final arc. Dig Jemaine Clement.
