Ninja Dragon (1986)

A requirement for watching this film is being drunk! Richard Harrison is in his ace. Being an almighty ninja, and far better than all other characters. He is far too old for the stuff his character is doing. But rest assured, the director got that problem tackled: “We jus t dress him up from top to toe in ninja outfit and let the stuntman do the entire role!”.

The film-editing is doing everything it can to ruin any cool ninja effects by using some of the oldest tricks in the editor books. Ex.: rewinding the film, so it looks like they are jumping really weird ninja-jumps. They are clipping the movie together like a child would do it. In some fighting scenes it is so obvious that its two different scenes mixed together so it should look like one.
