Revenge of the Ninja (1983)

After seeing “Enter The Ninja” in the movie theater that I worked at in the early 80’s, I cringed of the thought of having to watch another American made martial arts movie when my boss notified me that “Revenge…” would be our next attraction. When the movie opened in 1983 and I watched the opening scene, I was drawn in and hooked!  Everything about this movie seemed perfect (except the acting). The locations were great. The colors and lighting in the film were great. And the fight scenes were fantastic. This page has revenge of the ninja 1983, watch online, revenge of the ninja 1983 free download, full movie hd.

I just purchased the DVD to see how well this has held up through the years, and I must say it has held up quite well. I didn’t even remember this movie being so bloody and violent (I had to quickly usher the “under 10” crowd away from the TV). Even by today’s standards, this movie holds on tight to its “R” rating for violence. There is very little profanity and very little sex in this film.

It’s funny that a movie with such good production values would have such bad acting. I mean some of the lines in this movie are delivered so badly I had to laugh out loud. And the “thugs” in the park look like the Village People! Honestly though, this is, in my opinion, a great action movie. And the characters, in spite of bad acting, are quite likeable (or hateful, whichever appropriate for the character). I also thought the music track was excellent, and doesn’t really sound dated now like a lot of early 80’s movies.

Revenge Of The Ninja is a classic 80’s ninja movie, I grew up watching this movie and other crap ninja movies and I would always come back to this one. You always knew when you rented an action movie which started with the Cannon logo on screen or was a ‘ Golan / Globus production ‘ you were going to be entertained. Yes, the acting is dreadful and the plot could have been written by a 14 year old, but its entertaining. 

The fight scenes at the time were amazing, baring in mind that action flicks back then did not rely on CGI effects. The action was also fairly brutal, as far as I am aware all UK VHS versions were heavily cut as the film was released around the same time the BBFC appeared and were censor happy on anything involving ninja stars and nunchakus etc. I can understand why someone watching it now who has never seen it before would find the film 100% crapola, but if you remember this film fondly from your childhood then make sure you watch it now, its just as good now as it was back then. Make sure you get your hands on the region 1 DVD version as it is uncut and has a good few extra minutes of violent action which was snipped from the uk video versions.
