Revenge of the Ninja: The Best Ninja Movie Ever + Sam Firstenberg Interview

[@MrSonny665]

One of my favorite films of all time. I first watched it in 1989 it was first martial-arts film I ever saw, I was 4 years old at the time.

[@pawlee77]

This is the best ninja movie to ever come out of the 80s, possibly ever made!

[@fixxxer525]

Watched it twice in the theater. Collected a crap load of cans to recycle.

[@JV-ll1cu]

This is still the best ninja -movie that I have seen

[@danielmankowski922]

Fun fact: Kane Kosugi would star in another great sequel: Ninja 2 Shadow of a Tear with the always enjoyable Scott Adkins. Like father like son!

[@JoBloOriginals]

We love Scott Adkins!

[@ferox965]

My fave ninja movie. So unhinged and badass. Rented this all the time when I was a kid in the 80s.

[@wstine79]

I have memories of reenacting the climactic fight scene with my brother in the backyard dressed as ninjas.

[@JoBloOriginals]

Hope no one got hurt!

[@wstine79]

@@JoBloOriginals We had no injuries according to mother.

[@dragdragon23]

amazing film, great action, good story, good acting and I love the sound track of the final fight.

[@shirophoenix01]

Man, I love the theme of these movies. It pops up in my head every now and then when Im cleaning around the house and it makes something meanial epic lol My favorite is the third installment but I love all three of them!

[@RazorEdge2006]

Between Bruce Lee's last movie Game of Death (1978) and Jackie Chan's Hollywood breakthrough Rumble in the Bronx (1995), Sho Kosugi was the biggest Asian movie star in Hollywood during that interim period. It's a shame Kosugi has since been forgotten.

[@amphetamean66X]

Sho Kasugi is an absolute legend. I love him so much. I wish he had been in more films. He's easily my favorite martial arts star. More than Bruce, more Chang, more than Van Damme more than any of them.

[@michaelsitharcher2486]

i was a kid in the 80s ninja movies was one of my favorite movies

[@grapeshot]

I remember watching this movie all the time growing up in the 1980s and I remember that seeing where it shows that his mom was a badass. She just needs to be better at hiding.

[@alanguages]

Imagine if Tadashi Yamashita would have taken the role in Enter the Ninja, then there would not have been the Ninja craze of the 80's. Sho Kosugi's action packed performance is what set it all in motion.

[@ferox965]

Facts.

[@TheNameisPlissken1981]

You are absolutely correct. Revenge of the Ninja was one of my favorites growing up in mid 1980s. One of Cannon's best. How could you forget Avenging Force, though?

[@JoBloOriginals]

Oh we didn’t - it’s coming

[@pauldavidwilsonjackson.sup8726]

I saw this movie for the first time when I was 20, which was when I fell in love with Japanese martial arts. It was when I saw this movie and became a ninja the next day. I think this movie is the best ninja movie in history because 10 years later I was born to my sho kosugi is the god of martial arts the ninja of the 80s one day i will bring back the ninja mania and make ninjas cool again.

[@plastique45]

My friend had the only VHS in my neighborhood. He invited us to see this when it first came out on tape. We then re-rented it like once a month lol. I still know most of it by heart after all that time.

[@lobsterwhisperer7932]

Sho Kosuji catching the falling cup in mid air, that says it all, real ninja.

[@igable82]

Oh wow...I remember watching this as a young kid in the 80s. Man great movie! Loved it!

[@davidagiel8130]

By far the best Ninja movie, still to this day. American Ninja second.

[@magicpumpkin3]

Saw this gem when it came out and loved it.

[@Pdotta1]

This was great thanks!

[@sceanlyonz4571]

I have a large certified picture sign by both Sho Kosugi and Arthur Roberts!!!!!!

[@FreedomCompatriots]

I would like a video of 'What the F@ck happened to Sho Kosugi?" He disappeared for a very long time. Where did he go? Did he just go get a day job because in 2009 he shows up in Ninja Assassin as the head bag guy. If Hasbro had any sense, they would of hired him to be the Hard Master in the G.I.Joe Rise of Cobra monstrosity that came out the same year.

[@fraaank8215]

i filmed him 2018: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqGrhaObmtKGjas

[@edwardfortier2335]

When you think of Ninjas, you think of Sho!!!

[@kibayasha7301]

I loved ninjas so when this movies was in theaters I talked my parents into taking me. I was 7 and that opening sequence had me wanting to go home lol. Later when I got it on vhs at age 12 it became my all-time favorite ninja movie to this day. Lol

[@deepcloudsmusic]

Thank you for adding the Sam Firstenberg interview! This is my favorite movie of all time. Would be absolutely amazing to find some screen used props. The Brayden silver mask would be the holy grail :)

[@shaneburst5661]

My cousin and I rented it from the local Coast to Coast hardware store that doubled as a video rental and also sold Star Wars action figures in 1985!!! Life was great like that in 85.......

[@conm87]

Hands down my favourite western Ninja film!

[@JV-ll1cu]

What is a better ninja -movie than this then?

[@michaelg1352]

Crazy, but this movie and Sho Kosugi are what got me to start training in martial arts when I was a kid. I eventually went on to teach martial arts myself and had my own school. Finally got a pretty bad back injury and had to stop. But, I still bust out my Sho movies from time to time.

[@holden6104]

I don't think I've ever loved a movie so much as I loved this movie as a kid.

[@premierhoner614]

The BEST Ninja movie by far... Thats how I feel about it..........

[@acegrafik]

Would you consider made some video like this for "Lone Wolf McQuade"?Those precious few movies were the epitome of the 80's.

[@demonocusmetalocus3558]

Revenge of the ninja is the greatest ninja movie of all time.

[@SD78]

I remember watching this documentary when I was 8. Good times!

[@ronineditor9920]

3:23 - He gets killed in almost every single one of their films, haha... even in the American Ninja film, if I remember right... but definitely in this and Ninja III.

[@300kapslar]

You should have mention the awsome score this movie has. It makes the movie more superb than it already is.

[@robertquant1122]

I saw the soundtrack on aomeba records is really expensive

[@KOBUDERA1606]

The movie that marked my childhood

[@acegrafik]

Love the movie and LOVE the soundtrack!They don'e make them like that anymore!

[@mikegrady5669]

Greatest Ninja movie ever!!! Nothing has come close

[@Moe_Lester_fromUptwn]

Revenge of the Ninja was dope. That metal balls n spikes death scene was so dope.

[@Romermedia]

What a great video. Thank you! I subscribed!

[@turkishgermanrap]

what İ do not understand is, i remember at the final fight shou burst braden arm, but could never find those scene again. it seems cut scenes can not Be found anymore

[@ZarkAttack]

ONLY A NINJA CAN STOP A NINJA

[@kerrydavis7034]

I've been a shoka Suki fan for years. I was surprised to see him in ninja assassin.

[@JV-ll1cu]

shoka Suki 😅

[@patfer1189]

Let's see if anyone remembers what movie this may be, because I watched it decades ago and can't remember. It was a ninja movie. Can't remember what production company was behind it or even who was the lead. But the story pretty much involved a hijacked skyscraper with hostages. Our hero, a ninja, spends most of the movie climbing the side of the skyscraper at dusk, to reach the top and infiltrate it. While he is climbing we constantly flash back to his story and how he became a ninja, and essentially how he ended doing what he is doing now. Eventually reaches the top, kills the bad guys, and rescues everybody. Watched it as a kid, I believe either as a rental or one of those movies found on TV a Saturday afternoon, and never ran into it again. And clearly it wasn't a major production even for this sub-genre of movies, so it isn't as widely remembered as the Cannon films.

[@robertferguson5562]

The Last Ninja, 1983 tv movie

[@Just4Fun-Zocker]

Loved the movies as a kid even though the version we got was heavily cut.

[@VegasLoungeAct]

This was my favorite movie as a kid

[@Kthomasritchie]

The best scene is when Kosugi beats up the Village People.

[@billhobbs7077]

the dude dressed up as a cowboy reminded me of Rip Taylor almost expected him to throw a bunch of confetti around during the battle in the park

[@billhobbs7077]

just a thought here, but wasnt Sho going to start an art gallery as a plot device in the somewhat darker Pray for Death ?

[@kikinko]

Hi. Where can I find the uncut version of this movie?

[@gf2390]

Best martial art actor from the 80s. Ninja 3 was my favourite though.

[@raymondburlage6927]

Love that movie. Great job Joblo,

[@djbabyfaceatl]

Was this the one where the guy tried to catch the car and was dragged by it ?

[@speedygonzales378]

Would love to see sho kusugi in season 6 of cobra kai.

[@tezkatepuka]

First ninja movie i ever saw.

[@JV-ll1cu]

And still the best

[@chwenhoou]

The Cannon Ninja trilogy needs a box set release. I know there is one, but it is hard to come by. Have Arrow Video work on that. And have Sho Kosugi be on the cover front and center.

[@drjhale9801]

Try shout they have rights …to sell the DVDs

[@inatrance92SK]

Sho Kosugi = best modern day film ninja. Sonny Chiba = best medieval (Tokugawa Period) film/TV ninja.

[@demonocusmetalocus3558]

Shane kosugi was the kid who took the throwing star to the head at the beginning of the movie.

[@tehcarey]

All 3 ninja movies were amazing

[@danielhuckle4444]

U forgot avenging force from Sam firstenberg

[@JoBloOriginals]

No no - it’s coming. avenging Force gets its own video

[@hangonsnoop]

Is that The VIllage People at 09:30 ?

[@kerrywhitehouse74]

Dude why does no one ever mention Sakura Killers

[@beansgray4095]

hi jo

[@klaatubaradanikuto7195]

From a Japanese point of view, it's a movie that has a lot of misunderstandings about ninjas. There are no ninjas like this. This exaggerates ninja too much. Why did Sho Kosugi make such a movie when he should have known what a ninja is? It's arranged for America.

[@shoua7]

Sho Kosugi is THE only real ninja, IMO.

[@nakaiswilling0369]

Get it right only a ninja can kill a ninja and yes they did make some kick a movies

[@raptorskilltor4554]

I prefer Pray For Death by FAAAAR!!! But it’s still a good movie. 👍

[@billyheaning]

A little kid gets a ninja star to the forehead in the first five minutes. Of course it's the best ninja movie ever made. I'm not advocating violence against kids. But crotch goblins are still annoying.

[@kl7985]

I'm sorry but.... MK is objectively better than DoA. How dare you sir?!?!??

[@cchavezjr7]

Hot tub scene...

[@Kthomasritchie]

Pray for Death is better. Even though it's essentially bigger budget remake of Revenge of the Ninja.

[@Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

"The Hunted" is the ONLY good Ninja movie.

[@ferox965]

You spelled Revenge of the Ninja wrong.
