Viewing Notes

Yay! Taiwanese ninja movie with kung fu fighting! Another DVD I picked up at G-FEST for $4.28. Came highly recommended by the seller who told me some bullshit how this was a sequel to FIVE ELEMENT NINJAS. I humored him since he gave me a deal.

Two holy shit moments: the five element ninjas are introduced then given a backstory! I guess this is a sequel of sorts. Damn. Also they use the Star Wars score during one scene! WTF

well this isn’t the all-that flick that was hyped up to be by the seller. If I didn’t know I’d think this was another Godfrey Ho movie as it’s at the same level of acting and action plus ninja (gold, red, black, white, etc.). More like a film you’d see play at B-Fest. Not terrible but not great by any means. Not as good as the first two movies I just watched that I bought at G-FEST.

Hope the others he convinced me to buy are better.
