You just took me back in time with this movie! I grew up in a heavily Vietnamese influenced community ( I’m white).

I have a bizarre story related to this film. I had a friend whose grandfather was very ill(literally on his death bed) he called said friend into his room, and gestured everyone else to leave.

I believe the Original name of this movie was "The 9 Deaths of Sho Kosugi's Career as an Action Ninja Star." I might just have made that up, though. When the next Unboxing? My Submission should be there.

[@Texscripter]

Funny thing is, Sho Kosugi was (is? I know he's still alive but have no idea if he still practices at his age) a legit martial artist, well-versed in many things including ninjutsu, Karate, Judo, and many others. I'm guessing the acting gigs paid the bills. My friends and I, growing up in the 80s, absolutely adored these cheesy ninja movies. I even wrote a cheesy ninja comic based on the silliness in these movies. It's hilarious to see your reactions because these were all exactly the same reactions we had back in the day, ha!

[@JoshuaKirtley]

Sho Kosugi starred in a movie in 1988 with Jean Claude Van Damme called Black Eagle. Might be worth a watch.

[@danielvandersall6756]

In answer to your question Erin, he moved to LA when he was 19 and earned a degree in economics at CSULA. He got the acting bug, of course, and actually appears as a background extra in "Godfather II." He was hired by Cannon Films to do a series of Ninja films during the ninjitsu craze of the early 80's, and starred in a trilogy of ninja films for them--Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja and Ninja III: The Domination. He then appeared in a one-season prime-time show on NBC called The Master, starring Lee Van Cleef as a renegade ninja who traveled around in a van, A-Team style, helping others with his hotheaded pupil (Timothy Van Patten). Kosugi played the villain, and further established himself as the Ninja to call in Hollywood.

[@nayR1972]

I absolutely loved this stupid movie as a kid. And I still get a chuckle out of it today. And for those of you who think that the title is misleading or just makes no sense... exactly nine ninjas die in this movie! My friends and I counted them! Six ninjas in the early flashback sequence and three during the raid on the terrorist camp!
