This crazy Cannon flick is such a hodgepodge of different genres, there is really nothing quite like it. It's a supernatural (ninja) revenge movie that is extremely 80's in style. So while we get all those awesome ninja movie elements like throwing stars and katanas, this…

Primo Cannon Films nonsense in which Lucinda Dickey plays arcade games in her spacious loft, teaches aerobicise classes and uses veggie juice to seduce a hairy gorilla. Oh, there's also something about ninjas, and Shô Kosugi shows up as an eye patch-wearing badass. I had a…

Ninja Gaiden meets Flashdance. A ninja playing golf. A fine ass aerobic instructor ninja. Ninja action in a hot tub. A ninja with an eye patch. Lots of ninja madness. A cop who needs some Nair. This film is strictly for my ninjas.

yes, it's exactly as racist and sexist as you think a 1984 cannon production about the spirit of an evil ninja possessing the body of a sexy telephone company worker/aerobics instructor is going to be, but it's also even more amazing than you're imagining it is

Ninja III: The Domination

The action sequences are great in this movie, the possession scenes are hokey but still fun. A very unique (and good) 80s ninja movie!
