It's not just that this movie has ninjas . . . it's that it takes such glorious pleasure in killing ninjas. Ninjas getting Uzi'd. Ninjas getting thrown off boats. Ninja's getting their butts kicked by cripples. Ninja's falling down staircases.
shareI have a theory it was part of Peckinpah's plan to make one of the worst action movies of all time. Yes, ninjas getting their collective asses kicked by a guy with a cane, who doesn't even break a sweat. Riiiight.
shareI always thought it was a post-Bruce Lee, 'kung fu is a hot trend' thing...
granted--not one of Peckinpah's better efforts...
'We all dream of being a child again - even the worst of us. Perhaps the worst most of all...'
Even worse, overweight, out-of-shape Burt Young shrugs off three ninjas attacking him at the same time and barely breathes heavily!
This had to be the world's worst bunch of ninjas. Lowest-bidder ninjas. This movie should have been subtitled "The Ninjas that couldn't kill straight".
"...by the director who got depressed and overdosed drugs while filming."
shareWell, Peckinpah hated this movie (could not change the screenplay), directed only parts of it, and actually overdosed on cocaine while filming.
