Enter the Ninja - The Cinema Snob

[@graemesmith6721]

I love the look on Christopher George's face as he falls. It's like, "Eh, whatcha gonna do?"

[@alexmammoth2916]

"The Cannon Group Presents the Tattoo on Some College Girl's Ankle." God damn that was an amazing line just to be glossed over. That's why you're the best, Brad.

[@what9681]

Nothing cures the blues like a good ole cheesy 80's ninja flick. Whenever I'm feeling down a viewing of American Ninja 2 always perks me right up, such a masterpiece :D

[@Zycyzyx]

The George S. Clinton soundtrack really boosts the energy on that one, makes it pair well with Avenging Force too. Hard to beat the pure inscrutable cheesy insanity of Revenge of the Ninja, though.

[@Wysiwyg43]

"A ninja from Texas. Ha!" LMAO I love the Snob! Miss Ted though...

[@janicechristinedenton0451]

THE CINEMA SNOB HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY NINJAS. ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO RESCUE THE CINEMA SNOB?

[@doughboydevito4529]

+Melinda Louise Well I can call the cops so they can rescue Brad. As you can see I'm a total badass.

[@thetalkingbear]

+Melinda Louise A secret lab can do an experimental procedure on Kung-Tai Ted allowing him to walk again. After a lengthy training montage he sets off to rescue the Cinema Snob from the ninjas.

[@howdoiputthecheeseintheove8437]

IM A BAD ENOUGH DUDE MOTHERFUCKER *drives a truck through chuck Norris's house*

[@KevinThePilgrim]

Chuck Norris? Kung Tai Ted??? No, you have to call the best, so good cause he always works alone. I'm talking about Fast...Ted Fast.

[@markosimunic4770]

+Kevin H. Pilgrim Because of course thats his name, why wouldnt it be!

[@harley-wp6xt]

I've seen that clip of the dude shrugging after getting a shuriken in his chest, and now I have context. Sweet.

[@kingofpointless]

This was the perfect Cinema Snob episode!

[@Order_of_Zero]

Sho Kusagi kicked ass back in the 80s!!!

[@IoEstasCedonta]

"You are certain your deeds are for good cause." ...you're ninjas!

[@jmalmsten]

The Shrug of Death truly is a classic. Though my favorite in the ninja trilogy is still Ninja III: The Domination. It starts out with awesome ninja insanity on a golf-course.... and then spirals farther and farther away into total madness. It truly has to be seen to be believed. But I do wonder... will The Snob ever do the immortal classic known as The Ninja Mission?

[@TheSoleProprietor]

Yes. The shrug of death is indeed a classic. Makes me laugh every time! "Who said I wanted Mr. Parker Alive?"

[@Kochiha]

"We must have Landers' property! I want it!" "Leeeeet's have a cockfiiiiiiiight!" "Yes! Ees like an ahmy!" "Anyone for tennis?" The delivery in this movie is gold. Solid gold.

Glory! I watched the hell out of this as a kid. My mom recorded it on vhs with the first vcr we ever owned and I wore it down playing it so much.

[@Tareltonlives]

Man, I miss Kung Tai Ted.

[@kamekadvance]

Me too. :(

[@chwenhoou]

[@mrmusickhimself]

I love smokin a bowl to new Snob vids, and I miss Cannon Films.

[@BobbyDrake2000]

This day was going pretty shitty up until the moment I saw a new Snob video had been uploaded. My day's looking a lot brighter now.

[@NodDisciple1]

04:04 Is that an episode for a future season of Ninja: The Mission Force?

[@DarkFortressPictures_Official]

Thanks Brad! You just made me spit up my coffee with the moment at 19:50! That's a blast from the past!

[@MforMovesets]

In soviet russia, ninjas enter you.

[@mathers1980]

From behind even!

[@firebladetenn6633]

In the words of Hikaru Sulu... "Oh my...."

[@TheKML777]

I'm surprised that Snob didn't mention that Hasegawa faked his death, changed his name to Okasa, and went on to pursue Lee van Cleef across America.

[@marapatrick609]

"oh no! a ghost!" lmao :D I love your videos!!! Thank you for posting!!

[@RavynMad121]

14:03 is one of my favourite Snob jokes of all time, it really speaks to my ADD and makes me happy.

[@L1701]

The "What about Africa" line was meant to show that Cole and Frank Landers served together in the Angolan Bush War.

[@Godzilla52]

I lost it at the James Caan bit. I was thinking the exact same thing

[@troyschulz2318]

So Sonny Corleone went back to his ethnic homeland, met Franco Nero, joined the French Foreign Legion, fought in the Angolan Bush War, bought a sugar plantation in the Philippines, married Susan George, and gets killed by Sho Kosugi AFTER being shot 500 times by Virgil the Turk's men. What a diverse life Santino Corleone has led.

[@____KB]

I was crying throughout... the mustache jokes were killing me.

[@MdArtsandGaming]

You weren't kidding with this film being shot in the Philippines, Brad. I recognize some of the scenery!

[@aussiebaka4588]

The reason Hasegawa hasn't learned how to properly pat someone on the head is because in Japan and other parts of Asia, it is considered rude to touch someone on the head. It's thought to be condescending and disrespectful. So it's likely that in this movie, rather than the man being killed by Hasegawa somehow crushing his head with that tiny Asian hand that doesn't even fit around his crown, he more likely symbolically died from the shame of having a little Japanese man touch his head and belittle him.

[@somedude3413]

maybe his family was killed by this movie and he refuses to support anything mentioning it

[@TenguBE]

My god, I remember watching this as a kid.

[@shonuffdamasta3791]

I'm biased, but the Snob needs to review Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon.

[@lancelindqvist8848]

Agreed

[@DrWeethetbeter]

"A ninja eliminates...but there are exceptions" Guess you get a lot of liberty in the "exception" part of the job according to the bodycount in this video. These last reviews have been pretty damn amazing, and the year just started! Thanks for all the laughs Snob:)

[@marclewis5505]

10:06 "Godamnit! Stop making me sad!"😁

[@tereziamarkova2822]

One of the best reviews Cinema Snob has ever done. I enjoyed it so much...

[@collectingmemoriesyt]

Wow that ABC bumper takes me back. Saturday mornings watching Reboot and Bump in the Night. Good times.

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

*FYI:I wrote this before the end information you gave* No f'n way..this review took me back to my childhood looking up 'Ninja III:Domination' which stars Lucinda Dickey who's ALSO in 'Breakin' which is the next recommended video from CS! WTF?? Actually why am I even surprised, this shit happens to me aalll the time. Scouts Honor ✌

[@virochanaasura8521]

So that was the Chunin Exam at the beginning.

[@itsdigitalmagic]

Hey Brad, you probly never will read this but you should do a review of the Swedish produced Ninja Mission by legend Mats Helge Olsson. The movie that help launch & finance New Line Cinema into greatness.

[@Exmachinagamma]

I've seen Christopher George's death with Guile's theme attached with it!

[@KuWota2k]

You should review the 1976 king kong remake, or its sequel king kong lives... or even the last dinosaur.

[@XLuftWaffleX]

Is it just me, or has he improved his game since he left Channel Awesome?

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

+KilroyTheGreat I'm still on Channel Awesome =)

[@videobeetle8]

+Nick Jermichalesactionjackson I think you mean Mike Michaud.

[@princesstamika]

+Stoned Gremlin Productions but still you've seriously reached a high level of quality in reviews. like i don't want to say "improved" cause you've always been awesome but I guess the word I'm kinda looking for is "matured". ..in the sense of a fine wine or whiskey. Am I being pretentious enough? Can I be a snob now?

[@DjVortex-w]

+princesstamika Mentioning wine and whiskey in the same sentence? Definitely not snobby enough. A true connoisseur never puts those two things so close together.

[@OnDavidsBrain]

10:06 Someone needs to make that into a clip.

[@kellyrawls7765]

damn... I saw ninja in the title and got my hopes up for a Godfrey Ho movie... *cries single tear*

[@moomoopuppy5810]

I used watch all these "USA Up All Night" type of movies at a discount cinema called Gould Cinema here in San Jose years ago.

[@spookydonkey42]

nothing beats brad talking about ninjas with moustaches! and a kung kwon todd reference, maybe a little norm of the north joke? and appearance from long lost kung thai ted? this video has it all!

[@deadaccount7520]

I can't see a ninja without thinking of that panhandler with the sign that read. Family stolen by ninjas. need $$$ for karate lessons to get them back.

[@videobeetle8]

Norm of the North review confirmed.

[@rebelyell1983x]

Your reviews are getting more funny!! :) Keep up the great work Snob!

[@3DSDF]

I was waiting for that Pierre Kirby reference!

[@Magitek1112]

I actually own this movie on DVD for..some reason.

[@KyoujinAnei]

Yesh, just what I needed. A new Cinema Snob video! My day is now better.

[@endplanets]

Its crazy how similar the start of this movie is to Ninja Gaiden Black. Main character just shows up, fights ninjas in wilderness, climb cliffs, interior dojo looks very similar, sorta boss fight, turns out its training resulting in main character and "bad guy" sitting down and talking.

[@gutspuck721]

12:56 greek subtitles, I love it when you use greek vhs copies

[@ricardoaguirre6126]

"A true ninja doesn't kill." Really? Because assassination was their main mission.

[@greghayes6052]

It was espionage.

[@Madhouse_Media]

They eliminate. It just sounds more noble. 😝

[@adamlaray4170]

I appreciate the cover art for this review, in which Brad cosplays as Pink Guy from the Filthy Frank show.

[@tdnguyen0413]

Enter the Ninja is mostly a ripoff of Bruce Lee's The Way of the Dragon, because Way of the dragon was about Tang Lung (Bruce Lee) helping a family member preventing the syndicate buying the restaurant while Enter the Ninja is mostly a similar concept where it's Christopher George wants to buy the land from Alex Courtney.

[@BurnRoddy]

MOAR Nija movies? Do want! Because MOAR.

[@GingerKing1439]

I loved this review and your other ones Brad... hope you could make more of the reviews of the Cannon ninja films of the 80s!

[@Feasco]

I only remember two things from the one time I watched this when I was a kid: the opening sequence, and that a friend I watched it with thought Enter The Ninja was the actual name of the main character.

[@TheLost_and_Tony]

I just found about and watched the Apple and oh my got I would love to see Brad do a review of it ::crosses fingers for the next musical month::

18:14 LOL! Loved this part. Who did the voice, I wonder? Well, whomever it was did an excellent job impersonating the dude that was from Silent Night Deadly night.

[@Inspectornills]

lol, when Brad showed that dude dying in that really awkward way (22:13), I thought he was gonna cut away to that scene from Karate Girl, the worst death scene ever

4:06-4:16 I see Brad still has Norm of the North on his mind.

[@timm5362]

The thing that makes Ninjas a joke is the fact that they're not violence crazed kung fu maniacs. In reality they're highly trained spies. They're so good at what they do that they are never detected. If they do kill or incapacitate somebody, it's for the sole purpose of accomplishing their mission. Even then it's usually their final option

[@spiff2268]

+Tim M And real ninjas never wore outfits like that. Ninjas remained unnoticed by blending in. And what's the best way to blend in? By dressing just like everybody else.

[@timm5362]

spiff2268 Exactly

[@DANTVSVERGIL]

Don't forget, they never wore white or black, they wore Dark Blue, they never fought in open combat, and they virtually never spoke. At least some of the weapons were correct.
