Enter the Ninja - Good Bad Flicks 

Half the reason I took karate growing up was because of all of these campy ninja movies on TV. The 80s were truly a magical time.

"Cole shows his disgust for elevators." - aaaand I almost choked to death on my tea.

I liked the villains shrug after he has a shuriken in his chest.

"It's a boy" 😂

I just bought a vhs copy for fifty cents at the flea market just this saturday.

fun fact: The guy playing "hook" is a famous Israeli actor named Tzachi Noy, who's been in many Israeli cult movies in the 80s - 90s.

"It's a boy!" LOL

Christopher George looked like he was having a blast. While everyone else was playing it fairly straight he decided to go full camp and cranked it to eleven. A little like Alan Rickman in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

I actually went to Japan and studied with Grandmaster Hatsumi because of this film. Sadly the dojo was in a dirty little industrial town that makes soya sauce (Noda-shi) and not a temple near a waterfall.

That stinger: " A position has become vacant." Savage.

"...Professor... Gilligan..." thanks for always making me smile, Cecil. and for always remembering Toto whenever Africa is mentioned.🤣

The local Torgo. I don't know about the master but I approve that joke.

My own personal Mandela Effect: Up until 14 minutes ago I would have sworn that Frank was played by James Caan. Apparently it's actually Alex Courtney doing a James Caan impression.

"He beats up ELO"! I'm still laughing at that whilst writing this!

Franco Nero and Sho Kosugi = Awesomeness! People really should check out his Spaghetti Western flicks.

Franko Nero is such a baddass, the man has never stopped working, and at 78 years old shows no signs of slowing down.

Douglas Ivan ( Force of the Ninja ) is also in this movie. Force of the Ninja is one of my favorite Ninja Films even though Ivan is not a Leading Role type of guy. Thanks for the video!

Franco Nero isn't just one man he and a dozen of other actors played Django, You mess with one Django you mess with every Django.

>ninja movie with Italian actors Would it make this movie a spaghetti eastern? >___sploitation film set in the Philippines >Cirio H. Santiago not involved in production or location scouting IMPOSSIBIRU

I hate when my dinner is interrupted by ninja 😞

The "Nope" should be a meme. :)

This was on Saturday afternoons when I was younger ALL THE TIME. Never got old. .... I’m sure Cecil’s review is perfect. But that FULL MOON ad has my 100% attention. Love how it still says VHS on the side of the pic. Ha!!

Movies like these are the reason every part of my body hurts at my current age. When they say, don't try this at home kids. You really should listen! :D In saying that, I had a lot of fun. Revenge of the ninja is still my favourite ninja movie of all time. It was to me what greece was to my younger sister. I wore out the video player watching it and my body joints practicing it :D American ninja was another favourite. Thanks for the video Cecil.

Revenge of the Ninja is still my favorite. It was clearly the inspiration for that game Shinobi.

Oh my, that gender reveal party reference.

Saw this movie on a hot summer night in the early 90s. This was one of those movies that was filmed in the 80s but still feels like the 70s. And this video finally explained to me why "Ninja III" was the "third" movie.

When i see enytrhig related tô ninja, i listen in my head go ninja go ninja go

Got up to go to the supermarket, and then I get a notification for Enter the Ninja. I sat right back down. I loved the old school ninja and kung fu movies.

8:06 Wooo! It's a boy! I literally LOLed at this. Too soon, but also HILARIOUS at the same time. 😂

My first ninja movie was probably Ninja III. I was a kid, and it impressed me. When I look back at the film now, it still impresses me as a source of unintentional hilarity. Very, very weird to see the Philippines referred to as the Philippines in Enter the Ninja. Studios shot movies here back in the day, using the locations as a stand-in for [insert Mainland South East Asian Country here] where the protagonist, usually a war vet, got his first PTSD. I'm sure the geopolitics of the time had something to do with it (also cheap, English-speaking labor). Keep doing what you're doing. I live for this stuff. :)

That's surely the most bad-ass Texan ninja I've ever seen.

You tease us with Franco Nero and Sho Kosugi, then just say "later"?

Your jokes per minute on this video had to be more than a Zucker brothers movie.

Classic! This was one of my favourites when I was a kid :D

Ah this makes me reminisce of my days in ninja school.

Saw this movie 30 plus years ago. Forgot how badass it was. thanks for the refresher. "Fight the Ninja" Miami Connection

Definitely a video about Sho Kasugi. Actually being trained in the Ninja arts, He was the go to guy in Hollywood for most Ninja films.

Enter the Ninja is Hilarious. That part where Phillip George shrugs before he dies gets me every time. 🤣

Enter The Ninja is a glorious name for a film, regardless of the movie's quality

NINJA! I’ll never forget getting this on video as a kid. I was at the grocery store with my Mom and right outside their video rental store they had a shopping cart full of videos dirt cheap and this was one of them. And being 8 years old and obsessed with Ninjas (even had a stack of the old Ninja magazines) I watched this one over and over again till the tape finally wore out

"it's a boy!!" Underrated joke

Your comebacks (and those of Vanilla Ice) were on point with this one!

I used to love these movies when I was a kid. I had Sho Kosugi posters on my walls and everything. Very silly in retrospect,and I have to wonder why my parents let me watch R rated movies with people being slashed up with swords and gratuitous nudity when I was 7-10 years old, but they and the Films of icons like Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris started me on a life long journey in the martial arts (I started training in judo, the kwon do, and kempo when I was 9) that greatly influenced my life for the better and continues to this day, nearly 40 years later.

The main actor is Terence Hill, with Bud Spencer (also pseudonym) a star of many a spaghetti westerns. Spaghetti karate, now i have seen it all. Edit oh shiet its Franco Nero, AAA actor from Italy, wtf, i am laughing my ass off.

Thank you so much for this! I absolutely LOVE this flick, I grew up on it. You made my day! I hope you are doing better today, thank you again.

That sound effect for the throwing star is one of the reasons I love these old movies. It just makes no sense, but is still awesome.

I was expected a Godfrey Ho movie. Not sure I'm relieved or disappointed.

Man, thank you for reviving this old gem. I absolutely LOVED it back when I was in highschool and taking martial arts (karate) classes myself. I knew it was "bad", but to me, it was so "good"!

The Hook is Zachi Noy! No surprise there, because it is a Menachem Golan movie.

Jane Valderamma: "Hence the name "Enter the Dominatrix."" Kinzie: "Yep, single entendre. Very clever.

First off, thanks for the "Take the Nestle plunge" line. I haven't heard that in decades. Great job putting this episode together. This film was definitely one of the better action flicks that Cannon Films did and it came out at the perfect time. Action films were popular, but this one had the ninja gimmick. Not sure if I ever saw Ninja III, but I'm going to make it a point to watch the whole trilogy again. Thanks for another nostalgia treat.

"You dont bring a shotgun to a Ninja fight" love it!!!!

Movie??? These were instructional videos to my friends and I as kids in the 80's!

"Mr. Kosugi" is the name of an achievement in the game 'Shadow Warrior 2'. It unlocks when you take down 50 enemies while being invisible. I like that.

“You gotta police that moostache!”

THIS IS THE CHURCH AND THIS IS THE STEEPLE ah that brought back good memories.

Mike Stone busting out the 12 gauge in American Ninja 2 is one of the coolest things ever.

"Body karate". Omg you kill me man. 😂

Man, you can't go wrong with this classic! One of my favorite Ninja films! For all the bizarre reasons lol

awesome video good to see you back better then ever

One of the best videos on this awesome channel.

I love these videos. Plz, keep the great content, specially those funny ones.

As much as I love Enter the Ninja, I have to go with Ninja 3 the Domination as my favorite of the trilogy. It's The Exorcist with Ninjas!

New vid of one of my favorite childhood movies! Best birthday present ever!!

Goodbadflicks, thank you so much for this!! This was one of the many movies that I really wanted to see a review of!! You are awesome!!

Sho Kosugi rules! Possibly my favorite goodbadflick™ is Nine Deaths of the Ninja. What a stinker!

Just picked up this and Pray for Death on blu ray. Both were great 🖤

This video made me laugh, a lot. Which was much needed this week. Thank you!

Dude that got shuriken'd at the end fell like the Diva in The Fifth Element.

I still have the video rental display box for this one; obtained during one of my many shopping sprees when VHS rental places went out of business. I also own this movie on blu-ray...one of my many terrible movies owned on both VHS and dvd/bd

LOL! Cecil's kids are going to lose their minds when they get old enough to get his jokes. Then again, I love Cecil's dad jokes so they might actually end up enjoying them too. lol

Keep up the solid work!

That may be the best death of a movie villain I’ve ever seen! 😂 Another great video!

I absolutely loved the Ninja movies as a kid! I had quite a few tapes that I watched over and over. If there was a new ninja movie to rent at the store, I needed to see it. Ninja 3 the Domination was my favorite of the trilogy. Cheesy+Awesome. The American Ninja movies and Bloodsport were my favorites martial art movies. But if I had a friend who didn't know who Sho Kosugi was, I had to sit them down to watch these movies. Even my favorite Halloween costume, was a really nice Ninja costume my dad got me when I was 10 years old. I loved it so much I used them as pajamas and slept in them. Besides, you never know when Ninjas might crash through the window in the middle of the night. Gotta be prepared!

Love this movie, hope you do the rest of the trilogy. Keep up the great work

This is a classic.... hopefully you get around to Pray for Death as well. And also Christopher's George is an awesome actor. Loved him in Rat Patrol.

keep the good work broo ! i m french and listening you from Mexico !

I don't know if it's the movie, but this has to be one of your funniest videos. Great as usual, Thanx!!!

That was one of the greatest death scenes in cinema. Ninja star to the chest followed with a gesture of "What are you gonna do?" Brilliant!

LMFAO "it's a boy!" 🤣😂

This review had me giggling all the way through. 😂😂😂 Keep up the great work.

YEEES! Another GoodBadFlicks! I love your "Exploring" videos. But, the B-movie reviews always have top spot in my heart. Thanks for a ray of light during dark times.

2:16 Cole's friend Frank somehow looks like the very improbable lovechild of Sonny and Fredo Corleone. ...

One of my black cats is called Ninja. When Venerius (good lord, what a name) calls out "NinJA! NINja?!" I expected a shy "Mrreow?!" as a reply.

I'm pretty sure I watched this movie with my father when I was a kid. I went back through your Exploring series and watched the I Sell The Dead episode. I watched it the next day and I really liked it. I never even heard of it before I saw your video on it. Thanks for the recommendation. I know your busy, you should do like a Cecil's Recommendations Video once a month of a short list of movies you like but don't have time to do a full exploring video. Thanks again for the recommendation, keep up the good work.

Do revenge and domination next!!!!

My friends and I watched this movie so many times in the 80s!

Thank you for reviewing Enter the Ninja thanks to the Cannon group we got so many good ninja movies. I would love a Ninja 3 the domination review, Love some Lucinda Dickey

Great vid Love from Portugal 🇵🇹 !!!

Worth noting that Sho Kosugi continued on with the genre and was in 2009 Ninja Assassin, by far the best ninja movie.

The review I’ve been waiting for

Saw this movie for the first time in s long time a few months ago. Loved it. And Christopher George is GREAT in this!

The 80’s had me believing I would face a significant ninja threat in adulthood. My adulthood has been disappointing, to say the least.

Christopher George from Day of the Animals AND Grizzly? Awesome!

That's where that death is from! Thank you!

Funny observations in this video. Well done!

Not gonna lie -- I've been waiting for you to get to this one since I discovered your channel way back when. :-)

I knew this was shot in the Philippines when I saw the stainless steel Jeep. After WWII, the US left all the military jeeps there and the locals liked them so much they started stamping out stainless steel bodies and assembling their own jeeps. You can still buy a stainless steel tub from the Philippines and ship it to the US if your willing to pay for the high shipping cost.

I loved watching all those 80’s ninja movies.

5:58 Frank goes in the front while Cole sneaks in the back IS a good way to catch Venereal
