That aspect ratio change is bizarre. It's like two people edited the film, the second one came in and enlarged it from the point they took over but didn't bother going back to do it for the rest of the film.

[@sadpacman3290]

Since the CinemaSnob started sticking to more mainstream fair years ago, I've missed z-grade reviews like this. Thank you for picking up that torch.

Godfrey Ho is a legend in the world of low budget schlock films. You get some buddies, some beers (well, more like A LOT of beers) and a few of his movies and I guarantee you your sides will be hurting bad before the evening is over.

[@Eggy79]

In light of the Titus Paar interview, RedEye should get Godfrey Ho and a few beers and get some stories out of him.

[@aylmer666]

I know Richard Harrison (the star) decently well and have been to his house and interviewed him a few times. The woman talking about Drunken Crab is his real life wife Maria Francesca… the name of his property is hence “Villa Francesca” in California (a real beautiful property in Malibu overlooking the ocean). He is open about his entire career EXCEPT for these movies, which he notes as the whole reason he quit acting.

[@aylmer666]

If anyone wants to see what he was like in 2011ish, click on my profile and one of my videos has him at the Spaghetti Western convention doing a Q&A

[@vibeslide]

You can get a villa overlooking Malibu by starring in movies like this? Damn...

[@fletchkeilman2205]

I don't blame him. I love Harrison. Always seemed like a cool guy.

[@aylmer666]

@@vibeslide unlike a lot of B-movie stars I think he was very wise with his money and investments… and it didn’t hurt that he was for a time the son-in-law of James H. Nicholson, who was a big Hollywood producer.

[@cesarmadrigal36]

Then I need your help, I'm a costarican journalist trying to get in contact with Mr. Harrison to write an article regarding his career and specially one of his movies, "Operátion Las Vegas". Is there a way I can contact you?

[@armitagehawkshaw]

oh dear LORD your "evil chuckle" supercut at the end is a masterpiece of the form

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Most of the time I watch your videos, I can't imagine the movies themselves being funnier than you. That moment in RedEye Reacts where you compile all the moments where the guy says "hehehe" multiple times just had me laughing so hard. Thanks for starting off my weekend with laughter. Cheers.

The Cinema Snob introduced me to Godfrey Ho and Pierre Kirby almost 15 years ago at this point. Those movies are absolute gems of Hong Kong cinema. You did a FANTASTIC job with Ninja Terminator. You really captured the essence of the movie and the genre. I can't wait until you tackle more of these! :)

[@aperson806]

Ah, Godfrey Ho! When I was a kid back in the 80's a friend of mine had a poster for one of his movies (Ninja in the Killing Fields) that he'd gotten from the local video rental store. Being obsessed with ninjas (it was the 80's after all) we were convinced that it must be the greatest movie of all time - It was called Ninja in the Killing fields, FFS! After much pestering his dad finally rented it for us and... yeah. I remember being utterly confused by it, completely unable to tell what was going on from scene to scene. I watched it again a few years ago and tbh it wasn't much less confusing than the first time (yes, it's another Frankenstein's monster of a movie). The last ten minutes are absolute gold though, and it's totally worth sitting through for that alone. Incidentally, Undefeatable, a film I recommended in a previous comment, is actually one of Ho's, and goes to show that when he was prepared to put in some effort he could actually make a genuinely competent B movie. Also, the guy in the blonde wig was Hwang Jang Lee, former Korean army combat instructor and genuine badass (watch out for him in No Retreat No Surrender 2). Sorry not sorry for another wall of text!

[@RedEyeReviews]

Never apologize for a wall of text :)

"Is this your Ninja star?" "No that's not my Ninja star. Mine had 12 points." "Oh, I guess I must have made a mistake...except what's in your right front pocket?" "There's nothing in my right front pocket. I'll show you. Wait a minute. There's something here..." "Is that your Ninja star? If so, the Ninja Empire will destroy us unless we destroy them first!" "All right, we're going to film the Harry at home scenes. We need props. What can you get from my son's room?" "I found this robot and a Garfield Phone." These Godfrey Ho films don't make a lick of sense, but when they plot is moving or guys are swinging swords they're a lot of fun.

[@jshakseby2279]

Probably the greatest movie of all time. Including "ambush point" and the awesome Jaguar Wong. One of the best nights with my mates howling with laughter after popping this bad boy into the dvd player.

[@nignamedmutt7270]

Random fact about the Garfield Phone: There's a beach in france that's had those phones washing up on shore for like 35 years, with no real definitive reason for why they started showing up.

[@RedEyeReviews]

That is an amazing story lol

[@TheDarkestMarcus]

It was discovered years later that a cargo ship carrying loads of Garfield merch had sank not too far from the shore, leading to those phones washing up in that location for years and years.

Haha thank you so much

[@davidfausel9029]

Holeeeee shit. Amazing video - and that might be the best Redeye Reacts segment ever. Two observations: 1) When the ninjas steal the statue pieces and run down the stairs, that music is a track by Tangerine Dream from the 1981 soundtrack of Michael Mann's THIEF - so Godfrey doesn't just steal from his own movies lol. 2) That statue's face..... looks like we know where Blizzard got the inspiration for the look of the goblin race in World of Warcraft.

I've seen only 2 of his films: "Ninja Terminator" and "Ninja The Protector" and had enough :P It's more fun to read some stories about him than watch his movies, though I want to check out his early flicks to see how he started this madness.

[@eduardopena5893]

You took my advice! This director is a bottomless goldmine for bad schlock content! Ninja Dragon; another film starring Richard Harrison has AMAZING voice dubs....also has one of the best intro tracks ever. I think only Master of The Flying Guillotine has a better one (which is another movie you should do) because they use that same song from the intro that they pirated, slow it down to 1/4 speed, and use it as a theme that plays for the main villain...and it is AWESOME.
