It took me forever to finally see this one. I remember seeing the videocassette back when I was a teen, but I hadn’t seen the other two (I didn’t know they had no connections to each other at the time), and never really got around to them until recently. And it’s easy to see why it has become a cult film.

It’s just so bad that it comes around to goofy goodness that you just buckle up and enjoy for its absurdity.

And it’s crazy absurd from the get go when a ninja (David Chung) attacks a scientist and his security team on a golf course! Following that, the police show up, and it’s an all out assault on the ninja, which ends up with him being mortally injured (and that takes forever, which is laughably insane).

Working close by on a nearby telephone pole is phone tech, and aerobics instructor, Christie (Lucinda Dickey). When she tries to help him, he somehow imprints his soul on hers, that’s right the action film has now just become a bit of a supernatural horror film – she’s possessed!

Christie is haunted by visions of the police who assaulted the ninja, and is controlled to exert revenge on them. Read as kill them. And that’s going to be a problem for everyone, including Christie and her new cop boyfriend, Secord (Jordan Bennett).

But wait there’s more, there’s another ninja, Yamada (Sho Kosugi) who is seeking revenge against the ninja, and he’ll get it!

Between aerobics sessions, V-8 covered sex, scenes from Poltergeist, and a visit with James Hong, Christie as the ninja is hunting down the cops that killed the ninja’s body.

If I’d seen this as a kid, I think I would have absolutely loved it and not realized how bad it was. Seeing it now, I can tell you it’s horribly bad, and it’s so horrendous that it just comes around to good again. Well not good, but damned enjoyable. I laughed and applauded my way through the whole thing.

It helps that Dickey is incredibly attractive. I would have totally crushed on her as a teen. Throw in some ninja moves, aerobics workout gear, and of course I’d crush on her.

It’s goofy, silly, so bad, and it has James Hong. Oh, and a horrible soundtrack, and synthesizer score. There’s nothing really redeeming about this one, but you can’t help but enjoy it – it’s so bad.

What a goofy ride. Having said that, I like that I waited until now to watch it, because damn, I can appreciate all of its horrible flaws. And there are so many of them.
