Enter the Ninja

After just completing his training at a ninja school, an army vet travels to the Phillippines and finds himself battling a land grabber who wants his war-buddy's property. He must also fight his rival, who happens to be fellow Ninja, Sho Kosugi.Enter the Ninja, the first of the Ninja trilogy, oddly stars Franco Nero as the white-clad ninja and has a good screen presence but it's obvious he's not doing the fights, which are ok, but is doubled by Mike Stone' - a Karate champion and a former bodyguard for Elvis. I'm surprised they didn't cast Chuck Norris orJoe Lewis in the role, but Nero is an offbeat and ok casting, though his character can be quite dubious when he sleeps with his friend's wife after his friend tells him that, er, he can't rise to it anymore.The film itself has a "land grabber" plot, and it's fairly average here, but it's the Ninja elements that bolsters the film a bit. The opening scene is great as is the finale. Sho Kosugi steals the scene as the villain in an ok Ninja action. But it isn't great. Just passable.

A ninja movie classic but below the average

This is a very famous Ninja movie but it isn't a nice movie. If you want to see some ninjas and some figures, want to know some things about Ninjas see this movie. This movie only for ninja fans and who wants to make nostalgia.

First 20 minutes and last 20 minutes of the movie are best. You can just see Ninja figures and fight in this scenes. Between these are below the average, nearly bad as a movie. Acting is bad. Sho (black ninja) is the best actor in this movie. Frank Nero is a good actor and charismatic but he cannot fight good. Scenario is also not good. Its so simple. Franko Nero comes near to his best , old friend from army and war. He also protects him from mafia but he is having sex ( go to bed ) with his wife and his friend knows this but don't say anything to Nero negative. Is this possible in life ? What a friendship !

Finally this movie started a genre ; Ninja movies. Also there is the ninja master Sho Kasugi but some fighting scenes are not realistic and not fast even with shoo. This film is below the average even it is a classic.
