Wonderful character development!
Admirable film.
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Kelly from Breakin' has changed her name and by doing this has been possessed by the evil spirit of a dying ninja. At first, changes in her behaviour is limited to having strange interactions with an arcade game, doing strange, erotic things with V8 juice, and being attracted to the hairiest guy this side of Alec Baldwin. But soon enough, she's killing the officers responsible for the ninja's death, and can only be stopped by another ninja.........The Cannon Group. That company would either make you jump for joy or shudder in fear when you sit down to watch a movie and see their logo appear pre-credits. Luckily I'm in the former, because I know the excellent cheese that they can produce, and here, it's one of the most pungent cheese-feasts I've seen from their studios.So it's the third in their Ninja series of films, all unrelated in both story and narrative, but they do have the word Ninja in the title. But I'd also subliminally class it as an unofficial three-quel to Breakin', because Dickey is literally playing the same character.But what do the makers do to make this stand out from all the other Ninja based films released around this time? Why, they cross the Ninja movie with The Exorcist.......So, not only do we have your usual slew of throwing stars finding their way into hench mans faces, we ha a prolonged sequence of Dickey being possessed, and with no disrespect to the film, it's hilarious. From spinning her full body around and around, and blurting out incomprehensible nonsense, it really does make the film standout, for all the wrong reasons of course, but in essence, it's a wonderful concept.Dickey for some reason, has always been a sort of screen presence, but here the focus is on her, rather than a dance style, and she handles her scenes pretty well, despite the things the script gets her to do (you'll never see vegetable juice in the same light again), she's watchable enough, even if her acting is a little questionable.Sho Kosugi comes in halfway through the film to try and give the audience sense of the uneven narrative, and gives us all the exposition to makes us give the possession lark the benefit of the doubt.The fight choreography is a little stodgy and lethargic, but if you've seen the other two ninja films, you'll forgive its shortcomings. Side characters are hilarious, and the love interest would put Chewbacca to shame on the hair level.All in all, it's a must for anyone who likes The Cannon Group, as this has to be one of their most bonkers movies ever made, and it's all the better for it.Plus it's the best film ever made about an attempted sexual assault by five men in broad daylight, where there is a group of people looking on, and ones a police officer!!!Luckily though the potential victims is Dickey, and she's possessed!Essential cheese
When I was a kid I was all about ninja's Ninja movies, and sho kosugi.( main ninja in this movie) I probably watched this thing 100+ times. Sho kosugi just looks cool in his costume and his weapons and techniques are Always awesome. This has some cheesy 80's stuff in it but It's still an awesome movie. Look his sons Shane and Kane up too. They were featured in a lot of his movies but as they grew up They made some awesome movies themselves. Having Tarantino make a ninja movie using the kosugi Family would be a dream come true and the baddest ninja Movie ever made. Check this one out you'll see what I mean. Then go on to revenge of the ninja, pray for death, and his sons movie blood heat. No need to thank me. Your welcome.
this is a strange movie.it's a martial arts movie,but there are horror elements,some scenes that seem to be parody or black comedy.mix in MTV 80's music videos,and you have a really strange marriage and one that doesn't always work.the the black comedy scenes probably aren't intentional,the horror elements don't really work the way they're intended either,in my view.as is often the case,and sometimes out of necessity due to script constraints,there is little to no character development here.but some aspects work.for instance,some of the martial arts sequences are pretty good.the story is also interesting and the acting is actually pretty good.overall,it's entertaining.for me,Ninja III: The Domination is a 7/10
This movie is surprisingly good. The ninja fighting sequences were unbelievable. I haven't see all Sho Kosugi's films but this is probably the best of those I've seen. Probably the most impressive fighting sequence was at the beginning when ninja killed about 20 people, that was one of the most impressive ninja fighting sequences I've ever seen. Another good fighting sequence was at a cops funeral where the ninja provide more people to bury. The last fight was also very impressive. Also I kinda liked the soundtrack of this movie. The story was good enough for a ninja-movie, actually it was kinda different from other ninja-movies. So if you are a fan of ninja-movies, you'll probably like this one.
