Viewing Notes
a.k.a. Los Angeles Streetfighter a.k.a. Ninja Turf is one of the most amazing things I’ve seen. It defies all explanation. I believe @mattsinger of IFC was the first to bring it my attention. 30 year old high school students battle thugs and gangs in the streets of Los Angeles as all their voices are dubbed in post. Somehow they’re able to get steady gigs as security for parties around the city between the gang fighting get hired by a drug dealer. Then, inexplicably, decide to rob him. This brings Bill Wallace and Ken Nagayama into the picture as the heavies to enact revenge. Also love that Phillip “Best of the Best” Rhee is in this. I feel like we need to watch this at “Bad Movie Night” because I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like this.
