Many thanks for this upload, as it's great to see the full uncut version. I've got the Film 101 Cult Blu Ray which is the UK version and while the picture and sound are excellent, the more violent scenes have been completely butchered. Sho Kosugi is fantastic in this and James Booth is a brilliantly vile bad guy (interesting that he wrote the screenplay, as well as Avenging Force and American Ninja 4). It's also nice to see Norman Burton pop up as one of the only non-corrupt police, as I'd not seen him in much else apart from the Diamonds are Forever Bond film.
@davegiles26102 жыл бұрын
@LetSleepingCorpsesRiseUp&EatUsAll it's a shame, as the transfer is one of the best I've seen from 101 Films, as some of their stuff is a bit hit and miss. The funny thing is that I read a review of the film by someone who didn't realise they were watching the r rated copy, so James Booth's character probably came across as less evil than what he was.

@StormFive2 жыл бұрын
A way too over the top in depth assessment - the way the ending massacre was written where Sho unleashes his fury is brilliance in illustrating just how enraged he was. As a child when I watched this I thought how silly, these guys couldn't touch Sho: he is THE ninja of the 70s and 80s. Watching this as an adult, however, I see that he had to be shown as semi vulnerable in overcoming the levels of pain and suffering in order to avenge his wife. Had Sho simply steamrolled the evil forces, his vengeance (while complete) would have lessened the need for the retaliatory violence - pinning a man to a log with spiked nunchucks and then turning on the saw - would have seemed over the top and risked painting Sho as just another evil lunatic with unbridled rage. The way it went, however, from the death of his beloved to exacting cartoonish levels of violence upon the evil doers, made this a masterclass in story telling. One of the most underrated ninja movies from the 1970s and 1980s by the greatest on-screen ninja ever.

@psgary6622 Жыл бұрын
...and countless other victims of their violence. I wouldn't call it so much "revenge" as I would call it a well-deserved punishment. They had it coming to them when they murdered the wife God lent him. They blew their safety margin by raping her before murdering her, too. I would have looked for battery cables to put on them spikes Sho pounded into him so his death would be shocking and he'd beg for death after a few jolts if he had murdered & raped the wife God lent me, but like Yesterday goes, he's not half the man he used to be!

My favourite movie from sho👍🏻💯 I remember watching this as a kid , I must of been 8-9 years old watching it like 10x in a day😅 Great movie, great memories; but I love the ending when detective Anderson threw the star at Akira and smiles... Like "good job" on killing those p.o.s. That was a great ending. My favourite is 19:45 when Akira gives them a look like" I'll kill you" but then he restrains himself. Great discipline. But the ending I had a bit of problem with, Akira is supposed to be untouchable against regular people. Yet Limehouse stabbed him and fucked him for a minute. I could see if Akira was fighting another ninja, but Akira was fighting a Michael Myers type of villian,he should have easily killed Limehouse without being touch. An untrained man shouldn't have been able to lay a finger on a black belt ninja..
