Revenge of the Ninja (1983) - Comedic Movie Review 

Fun fact, the little boy Kane (Kane Kosugi) is the real life son of Sho Kosugi and since Revenge he has kept on acting as a martial artist action star. To this day he is still acting in movies, TV and even has done voice work for video games.

Man, back in the day, Sho Kosugi was an icon to every kid with a martial arts fixation 😂

Everything that is hilarious about this movie now, was the baddest, most awesome thing a kid saw in the 80's. This was a proper rated-R flick, and back in the day, the person in the box office would let unaccompanied toddlers into these movies. If memory serves, there was some gratuitous (as in "thank you") nudity. These were treasured scenes in the days before the internet.

Director Sam Firstenberg has a RU-vid channel talking about this movie and how batshit crazy it was when he worked for Cannon . He still has the silver mask Braden wore 😄

Fun fact! Ninja from the 80s were the only people who could set the clock on a VCR to stop it from blinking “12:00”!

Still my fave 80s guilty pleasure. This movie contained the immortal line: "Only a NINJA can kill a NINJA!". Also the ninja grandma was awesome 😁

Sho Kosugi was a legend from the 80's please tell me you are going to do 'Nine Deaths of the Ninja' it is a beautifully mental and fun film the bad guy was played by the late Blackie Dammett and for those who dont know who he is, he was the dad of Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis.

You’re killing me. I rented this movie from Block Buster like a million times. I subscribed to Ninja Magazines and yes, I bought a ninja suit, grappling hooks, busted my ass trying to scale a wall, my parents wanted me to go to therapy, great times.

I didn't watch many Ninja movies, but I never missed an episode of The Master.

Fun Fact: In the video game Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, the moves for the protagonist ninja character, "Rikimaru," were based on Sho Kosugi's. While the moves for the villain ninja, "Onikage," were based on his son Kane's.

The best ninja film ever. Finding his baby son alive, chasing the van, the final fight and the breaking of his vow so he can take revenge...pure gold!

That native american goon's actor was in one of the Halloween movies if I remember correctly, he played Michael Myers in it.=D

I saw these back when they were in theaters, during the "Ninja Craze". A lot of good memories, including a 7-yr-old self with neighborhood friends running 🏃‍♀️around in ninja outfits and literally throwing shuriken stars at each other...Yes, we all had parents btw Who do you think bought us the ninja gear ⚙? P.S. I owned one of those shuriken belt buckles at the time, too, and for several years afterwards. Never got to use it for anything practical, though, like someone shooting 🔫 a gun at me.

The shot of the ninja bleeding out on the rooftop looked pretty sweet to be honest. If this was my channel i'd probably have that in my favourite shots segment!

fun fact: Cathy (Ashley Ferrare) is also in The Master, a TV series of "American Ninja" quality, where she plays a character named Kathy

FYI at 9:54 that is Steven Lambert as the blue cowboy. He was the stunt/fight double for the silver masked ninja. He was also the stunt double for Sho Kosugi, during the car case scenes.

Used to rent this all the time when I was a kid. Reconnected with it many years later. I still love this flick. Fun fact-the goon playing the Native American is Donald Shanks. Shanks would play Michael Myers in Halloween 5.

Revenge of the Ninja is classic ninja movie of all time Starring the legendary Sho Kosugi and the DROP dead GORGEOUS Ashley Ferrare💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Your reenactment of dead ninjas in trees and on roofs is so spot on. Hahaha and lovely snow capped mountains of Salt Angeles 6. @6:57

The movie Pray For Death is also worth checking out. It's actually a little darker and more dramatic than this movie.

Dude This channel should be a show that comes on adult swim at 2:15am every Thursday and Saturday

Hello from Salt Los Lake Angeles City Utafornia. In fact, you can see the neighborhood where my house is in at 14:58. Pointless fact? About as pointless as an animatronic ninja arm coming out of a bathtub to create tension! But it’s fun to see your house in a film. Fun fact: 9:54 is how EXACTLY how Mormons dress in their down time! 😆😆 What another great review my friend! And it’s not that Ninja III: The Domination is better per se, it’s just weirder. I think Revenge of the Ninja has better thought out fight scenes, but Ninja III (especially the opening fight scene) is just something special. Plus, it has Special K from the Breakin’ movies…so top notch talent! I can’t wait for the review. Cheers and I hope the heat breaks soon.

When you watched so many of these Movies, that you can go "Hey, the Dad is the 'Nine Deaths of the Ninja' Guy!"

What’s the film where Christopher Lambert learns to be a Samurai. Have you reviewed that?

Mate you should definitely do a review of Avenging Force from the 80’s (with Dudikoff and Steve James)…it’s right up this channel’s alley 👍

Cannon films was King of the 80's!! Sho Kosugi was on pretty much every Ninja poster sold at that time too. Do a review on Pray for Death.

The only stuntman name cooler than Dick Hancock is his Chinese counterpart Dickie Dong.

i find it weird that in the 80's they were obsessed with ninjas lol

At training camp we had what we called "arm parties". We did curls until we couldn't lift our arms.

The beginning look like the origin of scorpion 🦂. Speaking of that please do mortal combat the OGs

Damn! Dude turned into Rononoa Zoro with those arrows. 😂

Revenge of the Ninja is the quintessential 80s ninja flick. Non-stop action and violence, Sho Kosugi (who else), Professor what’s-his-name from The Running Man, kung-fu granny, blood geysers. That guy really did look like a vulture 🤣🤣🤣

"Revenge of the Ninja" sounds like something you get after eating to much sushi Great film and very 80's and I love it

Loving the reviews man. Question are you gonna be reviewing van Damme and other action stars like Jackie Chan and jet Lee?

Wish you did have that belt buckle patent but they actually used to sell those things in the back of Ninja magazine. And yes, there used to be a Ninja magazine.

Love the film, love the soundtrack, love Kosugi. To this day still keep the VHS from back in the day.Thanks.

The makers of this movie seemingly don't know anything about saunas. Still, as a Finn, it's always cool to see the sauna in some foreign movie. For example, Jason Voorhees has done one kill with a stove stone. 😎

I used to rent this movie all the time when I was a kid. My dad always got sick of seeing this movie and return of swamp thing. Not sure how he felt about return to Oz.

he found his family massacred and not shed a tear like a badass

🤔🙄wait a minute!.... this is the same start from the new mortal kombat movie!!!😳

Fun fact: Steven Lambert who is playing the cowboy is also the masked ninja

I knew some kids in the 80s who took gears off their bikes and sharpened them into throwing stars because of this movie lol 😅. Dangerous times.

7:04 A guy's combover gets kicked off his head as he hits the wall, amazing!

This is in my opinion the greatest Ninja movie ever made.

How the hell is Cho alive. He was beheaded in Enter the 🥷 🤣🤣🤣

I don't know if it's patented but I had one of those ninja star belt buckles as a kid.

I loved your Village People joke.😆

this movie is legendary, its still the best ninja movie ever made!

I remember watching this movie as a kid. It's a crazy movie, but I think it's the best 80s ninja movie ever... Hahaha

FYI there's a famous stuntman named Dick Warlock...apparently his is magical...

At points in the final fight scene you can actually see the U on the mountain for the University of Utah.

5:00 Didn't we all learn as kids NOT to put a cut finger in our bacteria-infested mouths? 5:21 A kid that age oughtta know better. Gotta have a catalyst, though. 9:21 Ackchyually, it's called a "keyup."

For my next vacation it will be in salt lake angeles!

There's one Sho Kosugi movie that no one has mentioned in the comments, therefore you MUST review, called 9 Deaths of the Ninja. Trust me, it's RedEye-worthy!

Why does the opening of this movie remind me so much of the new Mortal Kombat film, except it’s Braiden instead of Raiden playing devils advocate.

That vulture man is kinda like Joe Pesci

Oh man I like this movie a heck of a lot more than Enter the Ninja or Ninja 3

Thank you so much for this one hahaha literally my favorite red eye so far haha it’s the best when you’re just having a good time hahaha 🤣

That belt buckle you used to be able to buy. Was advertised in Black Belt magazine. Just for show, you couldn't throw it

At 17:17 Dude, is that you RedEye? 😳

I cant count how many Times i rented this movie in my teens and after me and my friends trained as ninjas 😂😂

This movie has so many unintentionally hilarious moments 😂😂😂😂🤣

Some kids go tp preschool but I watched this. Made me who I am today.

This is my favorite ninja movie. It's definitely the best.

Finished the third Kosugi review of yours, guesses I watched them out of order. 😆 He was so awesome back in the day. His kid's fight scene towards the beginning was really well done, especially for that time. I have to disagree with whoever told you Ninja III was the best, I go with this one and put III second...Enter the Ninja sucks. I'm going to do a quick search and see if you have a review on a particular early 90s martial arts flick.

Ninja hypnosis ends upon the job being completed.

You missed the best parts by like 1 second:. After. Gramma says she doesn't trust him, it cuts to him looking obviously like the bad guy When he's torturing the kid he laughs, closed the door, looks back in the window and laughs again When cho cones down the hall way his friend is suffering, then immediately perks up and chuckles before his dying quip to Another long sequence of hand signs, performed with the highest amount of effort.

I had to watch this movie every night before bed when I was 8 or so

Oh Redeye, you sir are THE shit lol , I love your reviews man

Speaking of Kosugi, can you do Pray for Death?

Wait, so he's got a mask over his mask because he's afraid his silver mask is too identifiable and thus must conceal it, albeit poorly? This script is uh, not very good, is it? Kinda like they didn't have a writer so much as a dude who watched too many kung fu films and his whole pitch was "ninjas but cooler because papier mache!"

Well yeah of course he goes after them, don’t you remember how long he said it takes to make just one doll and how expensive it is

I remember this movie from when I was A Kid Great review keep up the Good Work

Maybe explain it with Jackie Chan parkour

this is an amazing action movie for kids

Professional Doll Theives LMAO

Nope, no one can break bones like that, not even with a bat, only a ninja

HAYAH "punts a leaf

This movie was awesome

Steven lambert played the evil mask ninja 🥷 most of the movie as Braden Cause the actor Arthur Robert’s wasent athletic and wasent a professional fighter so he only made the scenes were he wasent with the ninja suit and when he’s not wearing the mask 😷 it was already too late to find a better actor so they kept him for the whole movie finale when cho kills him and ripped his face mask apart 😊

Back in the 80's,us kids/teenagers could buy real ninja stars and other weapons.What was great,was that the ninja stars and weapons were real.GOD bless the 80s when kids could get real weapons!

You're Review Is Hilarious. 😂😂😂😂

Well bags of cans can weigh something, when you take them to recycle if they are paying for them they weigh the bags so there’s some weight to those cans

One of the worst films from the 80s and yet one of my favorite films from the 80s.

Did we just witness the first wet t-shirt torture? Is that where all the CIA dollars go? Because spring break in Florida has been using that method for years

WHAT?? You totally missed Shoko Asahara from Aum Shinrikyo manhandling that little child at 11:12

Hey, are you ever going to do Charles Bronson movies?

So was the roof from a Hotel or some important utan (is this the name for people from Utah) they were allowed to use?

6:30 is that Jonathan Banks on the left????

WTF? The new Mortal Kombat movie just remade this film?!? Definitely ripped part of it.

do a review on Ninja Assasins

Biggest lie I was told as a child; "You can't grow up to be a ninja.". Jump to now: Japan is short on ninjas, there are news articles about it.

i dont know what your talking about,ive seen this master piece of none stop action and a class acting a hundred times.i give this movie a 10 im also a mental patient.

The new Mortal Kombat movie opening is very similar. Wonder if they ripped it off or just coincidence lol

The beginning of this movie is a little Mortal Kombat in a way... that white dude is Raiden?...or Rayden for my SNS disciples.

gold!!!!!!

Fun fact, little boy Kane Kosugi later became an action star but had his some what upper facing nose surgically fixed. Of course, this is evident from footage but isn't official info like it was for Jackie Chan, so yeah, Jackie was a boss for owning up to his plastic surgery as well, what a beast !

Ridiculous but back then its was awesome movies.... Canon film almost raised me!

I hope this one is better than the last one I watched or tried to watch and didn’t finish.

4:04 this is basically like "All asian kids knows martial arts".
