ACTIONx52 (2024)
14. Watch An Action Film From The Cannon Group, Inc.
33/52
This kind of stuff is my jam! Then again I don't think there's a movie I don't enjoy from Cannon Group. Revenge of the Ninja cranks it to eleven. Hell the opening minutes a ninja feeds a ninja star to a kid's face, it's rare even for a horror film of this era to show a kid death.
It's a lot of what you could expect of an Americanized martial arts feature. The fight choreography is very basic- nothing close to the kind of stuff from Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest. This isn't any less fun though. Kills are typically over the top and unrealistic which makes the laughs and enjoyment only sweeter. I've heard a lot about Ninja 3 which only has me more excited after how good this sequel was.
