If you know if we better stop. We're better stop. I'm a passion tonight. Welcome back everybody to another episode of the Action Returns. I'm your host Brian. With me as always, is more brother than theirs. What's up? We're finally returning, everybody.

And it's hot down here in California. How's the weather up there? Raining. It's been raining. You get a couple sunny days in between. Makes you think everything's going to get nice. And then the next day, it's just raining. We had a couple weeks of rain.

Where it rained like every day, not like all day, but. And hopefully it helped a little with this drought. But I'm not sure. All right, everyone. We were supposed to do this long time ago. I'd say months ago, whenever the Revenge of the Ninja came out, or when we dropped that one. But let everyone know what we're doing.

We are doing Ninja 3, the domination. He is the most feared and powerful warrior, a ninja who explodes onto America. His soul transforms her into a lethal assassin. Who are you? Her only hope is Yamada, the master ninja who has been sent to destroy him. An epic struggle of superhuman strength and supernatural forces. Ninja 3, the domination. Raitador.

for action slash horror is what Google has it listed yeah we'll get to it all right let's see Google a woman with

ESP and an interest in ancient Japanese culture becomes possessed by the spirit of an evil war she had ESP did I black out I was about to say I just watched this I don't remember that part all right

maybe IMDB can clear this up. Let's see. Because I clearly, sorry, my internet slow, I'm trying to pull it out. I clearly don't remember no ESP or no mine powers. I don't either. Internet seems to be super slow right now. Yeah, maybe it's the rain. That's usually what happens here.

Yeah. You're able to pull up on it? Right there goes. an evil ninja attempts to avenge his death by beyond the grave by possessing a damn it pop-ups by possessing an innocent woman's body see that's the movie I watched

yeah I don't know this ESP the stars show Kosugi is that I believe I got someone came at me for mispronouncing his name Lucinda Dickie

Special K Yep Jordan Bennett David Chung Dale Ishmoto James Hong Legendary James Hong Bob Craig

Pamela Neese Roy Padilla Mosley John Lamata I think we're getting into people that didn't really matter Directed by Sam firstenberg written by

James Arles Silky I think I pronounce that right Nez Tell us about your thoughts on Ninja 3 The Domination

that had ESP and mind powers He's the ultimate killer She's the perfect weapon That's what the poster says I love the poster It's cool little She's special K

everybody I don't care what anybody says. I learned some stuff about this as well when we talk about how she got involved in this but I saw this the weekend it came out

because I just could not wait after Revenge of the Ninja and just it being awesome our Ninja Revenge of the Ninja being awesome I was like all right cool I'm I'm with this um

this did this come out before I think it came out no no no no no it came out after breaking yeah yeah so um

because I think they sat on it for a little bit because uh breaking came out then this came out then breaking too came out shortly so they must have just she must have been boom boom boom on a mission but um we'll get into breaking later on

but yeah I was like All right, cool. I remember seeing the trailers. You see the fighting. You see Shokosugi with an eye patch and it looks badass. I'll get to a gripe when we get to him later on in the film. But I was like, all right. I mean, I don't know. We know who this chick is. She's special K from breaking. So we're like, all right, cool. So me and my buddies were sitting there. We're ready. And then the movie starts and immediately dives into ninja action. And that's, And I'm like, oh, yeah. But when the movie was over, I was like, hmm, I don't know how I feel about this one. So, but we sat through, it was a double feature, another low budget kung fu movie. I can't remember what it was. But there was like tons of kung fu movies in 80s that were just boom coming out and didn't do anything really. So actually, I did see this again.

at another theater, it was a theater that was in downtown Oakland. It was Revenge of the Ninja and this one. So it was good to see Revenge of the Ninja on the big screen again. But over time, VHS, cable, and everything. And I was like, you know what, I like this film. It's goofy. It does have that horror, a touch of horror with the evil spirit exorcism stuff, which I was kind of shocked with the first time.

I was like, whoa, what the hell happened? in here. But overall, I mean, now I really love this film, but yeah, when I first saw it, I was kind of like, uh, okay. Um, it was mainly because Shokosugi wasn't the, the main star. He was just like, uh, second. I'm not even really second in command. It was because that other dude, the, um, the cop guy, he got a lot of screen time. What the hell? Yeah, they would take his shirt off and still have a sweater on.

Yeah, Jordan. is why. Jordan Bennett. Yeah, him. I was like, dead. God. Hey, everyone, I'm not a hairy guy, man. I got a mustache,

and that's about it, and long hair, but I do not. My chest is as smooth as a baby's butt, but I think compared to him, I don't think anybody's a hairy guy. No, I have some friends that,

like, they got shoulder pads on. From the t-shirts. But yeah, man, My wife, every time she sees somebody on the movies or whether, especially these old 80s movies when nobody grooms, it was just all, it was all men in the 80s, boys and girls. But she would go, oh, she always told, I'm glad you don't have a hairy chest. I said, I don't, I'm glad I don't either. I mean, my dad don't even have no hair on his chest.

But anyway, yeah, so I was like, all right, cool, man, whatever. I mean, we saw it then watching it over and over throughout the years. and now this is definitely a cult classic. Many people talk about it. I think out of these three ninja movies, this is probably the main one that everybody talks about. And yeah, because it's goofy and it was just kind of unexpected. I get into some more stuff later on that I found out about this film.

But what did you think of it? When did you first see this? I had to have seen that this must have been back into VHS days for me. and re-watching it, there's so much I forgot because the only thing, I know I probably brought it up in the last recording, but the only thing I ever remember was that weird-ass

V8 juice sex scene or whatever tomato juice sex scene was going. That's the only thing I remember. I swear at one point she danced the demons away, but that dance scene was very short.

So I must have remembered it wrong. But yeah, if you're thinking this is, the first two movies aren't even really connected. But if you think this has anything to do with the other two, you're wrong. Because once it gets into the possession and the James, James, uh, James, uh, Hong comes in. And he's trying to exercise the demons out. And then you got some aerobics shit in there. And then you got the police officers. officer with the sweater on.

This movie's like all over the place, but I think that's what makes it fun. The ninja stuff is pretty decent. I mean, it's outrageous. I thought the last movie with the robot decoys

was outrageous, but there's a guy that fucking corkscrews into the ground, into the earth in this one. So there's a lot of stuff. It might, it's definitely not the best out of the trilogy, but it's definitely one you have to watch. Yeah, this is why, if you guys have never seen this, this is,

get your boys, get your girls, whoever can sit down through this and just crack open your favorite drink and do some other things if you partake. But yeah, that's what was crazy. My wife came walking through. What are you watching? She only saw like maybe seconds of it. She goes, is that special K? And I went, yeah, she went, I already hate this already.

I was like, damn. No love for special K. But yeah, this one. She didn't really do anything in breaking. No, she was just there. I mean, they just needed their female. The other chick in the club from the other group roasted her. She had nothing for that other chick.

We'll have to get into those events. I don't know if they're streaming anywhere. I know that Blu-ray is out of print. I should have bought it when I saw it. Yeah, it's going for crazy money now. Yeah, how much have to buy the DVDs? But Ninja 3, The Domination, everyone. All right.

Don't even try to read the plot on Instagram, on Wikipedia because it cuts everything out of it. It gives you the main story, but it just doesn't do this movie justice. If you read it just to see what this was about, you're like, it kind of tells you the main things, but it leaves out all the action and all the craziness and the corkscrews and all that. It starts out with the craziness already that Christy Ryder is a telephone lines woman and an aerobics instructor. Why couldn't she just be one? Yeah.

I was watching some interviews and she said, this is. is a ninja movie meets flash dance meets the exorcist and weirdly enough i can see all that yeah um it's got a little of everything in this movie we even got a video game and some made up video game that even got some screen time but and this one the uh the bad one they just called them black ninja who Hon Juro played by

David Chung I know I've seen him in other things but he just didn't stand out to me but what did stand out to me is his Edgar haircut

for those of you that know the Edgar haircut I just learned it recently from my kids I was wondering while these boys have this haircut

and he said that's the Edgar I'm like what that's just so but anyway tons of memes out there but yeah

this guy he's the black ninja I don't know why he's called the black ninja because his ninja suit is green but like army green I'm like okay so he goes up and he's driving out in the desert somewhere

goes into some little secret cave opens up his little secret rock case and it's all electric electrified because it's got a light table with all his ninja gear, his stars

his knives and his swords and his other little things that he throws around his bow and his arrow and he gears up and then he goes out and while he's getting ready we see another guy I have some mob guy I assume he's trying to play golf with his girlfriend and he's got all kinds of security around him and then so the the dark the black ninja he goes and just goes after him and just uh See, there was no explanation really on why he was trying to kill this guy. I don't know. Yeah, I think we're just, are we just assuming he's a mob guy? Because they just kind of get right into it. Like, he's just doing a hit on somebody. Oh, he's either a mob guy or maybe some political. Yeah.

Maybe he did the Japanese dirty or whatever. And they go kill this guy. I don't know. If you're looking for explanation or set up to this assassination, there is none. No, because it's him and his girlfriend or his lady friend, and he's got all kinds of dudes in suits around him. And he hits his ball into the, like, out of the way,

and then he makes one of the security guys go look for it, but then the ninja comes out of nowhere and picks up the golf ball and then crushes it with his bare hands, and then he commences to kick an ass. He starts killing the, I'm watching. and there's everyone. He starts killing the security guards. Like all of them, they all have guns, but they don't pull out their guns until they're like a few feet away from him. So, but he pulls out the ninja stars, starts throwing those, hits one guy, kills him.

Another guy comes running up with a gun. He pulls out his little dart shooter. And he shoots the dart and it goes into the barrel of the gun. And when he shoots the gun, the gun blows up at his head and he falls down. I forgot. I forgot this movie completely, other than the little, the exorcism part. That was the only part I really remembered. Or in the scene when he hides from the cops in the dirt. So he just killed, basically kills all his security. And then he goes up. This guy must be like a super strong ninja because the guy that he's going after starts to drive off. And he catches him. He runs after. He catches the back of his little. golf cart and then picks it up the back end with one arm and that guy's like get out run and run to

his girlfriend and then she gets out and runs and then he kind of lets go and then he runs after her and like stabs her in the neck with his sword and then he goes after the dude his target and then slices him and then he's dead and then he goes running off into the woods I felt like when he went and got all his ninja gear like that box or whatever gave him powers Or the sword did. I think it was the sword. I don't know. Because it turned into a

lightsaber a couple of times. Oh man. We'll get to that too. They really cleaned it up for the excuse me for the Screen Factory Blu-ray because I remember seeing this in the theater if you have the VHS copy, you can see the strings

when that thing was floating around. But anyway, so after he kills pretty much all, everybody in that old golf or that was around that dude that he was going after, the cops are called and they come like super fast

so then they start chasing him. And I believe this is out in Phoenix because I remember they were watching the extras that they film is in Phoenix. So the golf course is in the middle of the desert. So he's out running. Just trying to out running. I mean there's trees and rocks everywhere, but he

just keeps running down this main road and the squad cars and the police motorcycle are running after him. I love these ninja flips. They're just so unbelievable. Because you can flip jump and flip over anything. He jumps and flips onto the top of this police car.

I don't know why they didn't stop. But the two cops, one of them was like, get that mother. And then he's one of them shoots a shotgun through the roof, but misses. And then he gets his sword and stabs it through the, the, I assume the shotgun blast holes. And it kills the other cop. And then he gets his left hand, punches through the metal of the, or whatever it is of the car, the roof, and punches the driver in the head. And then he goes, ah, and then they go, they do this big jump over these pushes, and they go into the water. He takes out one of the other cops with a ninja star in the neck on the motorcycle.

He crashes. and then before the actually before the car goes into the pond he gets out his little ninja grappling hook throws it up and it hooks onto a tree so he spins around when the car goes flying into the water

he kind of spins around this tree and that second cop comes up and he like kicks him he kicks him off the bike and he clearly falls on the ground but the next scene cut scene we see that bike it goes off into the water

and that cop is flying in the air right after the bike. So I was like, who did the energy on this? So those guys are all dead. And then his helicopter comes. And they see all the cops in the water. And then the ninja starts climbing up this tree. And they're just kind of looking around for him. And there's other cops on the scene as well.

And then for some reason, this cop hovers right over the tree where the ninja could just easily jump up and hang on to the bottom of the helicopter. All right. This was awesome. I mean, shout out to the stuntman in this, but this part made me laugh the hardest because he starts fighting one of the cops. He kicks him in the face and throws him out and he lands in the water,

so I'm pretty sure he's alive. But the second cop pulls out a gun and starts shooting at him while the ninja is swinging around under the helicopter trying to hang on. But then he climbs up on one side. he I think he kicked oh no he puts a ninja star into his

left foot in between his toes if you guys know those ninja shoes and he hucks it into the helicopter and the way the helicopter pilot is he's looking forward but I don't know how there must have been a magical ninja star instead of hitting the left side of his face

it digs it into the right side of his face and then he goes and then he pulls the other cop out and throws him and then the helicopter goes out of control and crashes and blows up and I was like what's happening

mystical ninja powers. There's a little 13 year old Nez watching this in the theater going oh man this is amazing then I guess pretty much the whole the rest of the police force shows up to this golf course and they're still looking for him

one of the cops sees it looks like one of those tully or bamboo sticks basically the little the little ninja arrow or dart shooter he's under the water so he's breathing through that and a cop looks over to it like

stupid and then he comes out of water shoots an arrow or a little dart into him kills him and he gets out and runs more cops are coming he pulls out his ninja sword and starts slicing and dicing he must have killed in the end of the scene he must have killed at least 20 cops plus whoever he

went after and all his henchmen killed the whole police force that's why I'm thinking the guy that he killed was like a politician because that response time was quick yeah they came to elevate because he's pulling out everything

daggers, darts, stars everything slicing fools there was one scene where they surrounded him and there were that close and he just pulled out a sword and went in a circular motion and just took them all out. So after he pretty much kills at least 10 cops that are around him, the rest of the police force, excuse me, the rest of the police force shows up and they just all pretty much surround him and just start unloading on them. Not checking their background fire when they could easily shot each other, but okay. So they fill him up with holes and he's laying there dead or they think he's dead.

He kind of comes to, starts kicking ass again. And then they start shooting him again. And they kind of focus on like, I think there's like five or six cops that are in this. But he gets just blasted up like pretty much point blank with shotguns and pistols. the pistols okay because they show his body later and we see all the holes in him but those shotguns would have been ripping him apart that close but I didn't make this movie

um so he pulls out one of his little uh ninja smoke bombs throws it down and then it just big old puff of puff of puff of puff and they're like where the hell is he let's go let's look for him so everyone kind of spreads out the only thing they find on the ground

is his little ninja mask so they all start running around looking for him so when all the cops are pretty much gone the coast is clear his head pops out of the dirt and then he goes scuffling off and this is when we're introduced to what the hell's her name? Christy Ryder.

Christy Ryder. She's special K everybody. I'm sorry. For you 80s kids you guys understand so he comes she's doing her thing she's a what was she a telephone a telephone line woman

and aerobics instructor okay she's doing her thing she's jamming out to her tunes and she's having a good day in Phoenix it's probably like a billion degrees because it's like a hundred and fourteen down there

my son just came back from there and he said it was hell hot oh you couldn't tell by looking at her no she just looks pure 80s. She said she had straight hair when she did this, but they wanted to flash dancer up. That's why her hair was all puffed out and everything. So, but while she's up on this pool, she's doing her thing and then she sees the black ninja and he's like scuffling along and falling and she's like, hey, do you need help? So she climbs down and then she goes looking for him and she can't find him. But then he comes, she finds,

one of his little ninja rags or whatever it is. But then this mysterious wind comes blowing up. And then he grabs her from behind. He doesn't have his mask on. And he's just full of bullet holes. And his face is all bleeding and everything. He starts speaking Japanese to her. There was no subtitles or anything.

But you kind of get what he's saying with his facial and the tone. And he's holding out his, his ninja sword, his katana sword. He's holding it out to her. And then she kind of, she kind of ran off for a minute. But then when he's standing or yelling at her and he's holding it out, she kind of goes up to him and then sits down. And then he just like hands it to her.

And then he just, boom, he just falls over. And that's the end. So I assume the cops found him because she just took the sword and ran back to got all her gear and cut out. but when he was looking at her I guess he was this is when the horror aspect comes in the possession part

yeah he's he's looking at him with his little eyeliner ninja eyes and basically giving him giving her his thoughts because she starts to see all the guys that were shooting at him and then he just boom falls over

and so she gets the sword and the little holder and then she cuts out. But there's, every time they came to their possession stuff, her hair, the wind would blow and her hair would be blowing in the wind. But she starts getting all this.

I assume this is the ESP. She starts to see all this stuff. So, she ends up going home. Well, we kind of meet the cops, all the guys that kill her, because she does end up going to the police station

and I ask her all kinds of questions. well, what do you know? Have you seen this guy? She goes, I don't know nothing. I was just out there working and this guy came out of nowhere. And then I called you. So she's just getting out of here. She just wants to leave. One of the cops, these are the days in the 80s where sexual harassment was on the daily. In the movies, I'm not really sure how it was in the real world.

We'll get to some of that later. Yeah, in the next couple of scenes. I totally forgot all about that Because this guy Billy Secker He's one of the cops She like sees him And then he's just throwing it out

Hey let's go get coffee Let's go do this Let's go out And she's just like Hell no, leave me alone I just want to go home So she kind of just Trugs him off

And then she goes She goes home And she lives in like this warehouse And she's got this video game. She's playing and she lives with one of her other friends and she is all geared up in her flash dance

aerobic gear and then she goes off to work because like it said in the Wikipedia she's a aerobics instructor. Oh, well you missed a part of how this whole time after being possessed

and getting a question by the police she had the katana the sword. Nobody's seen her hold or carry the whole time all the way home. She had it in her, her van. So I don't think she took it into the police station because when she got, when she got home,

she was pulling out all her gear, our little telephone gear. And then she grabbed that thing in and she took it in. Her friend, her roommate, or whoever that girl was, saw it. And she, oh. I like the roommate connected it to the murder. Like instantly. Instantly. But it was

She was like, Nothing. I got just something I bought. Well, she goes to work. Yeah. She goes to work.

And this is when the flash dance stuff comes in. She's an aerobic instructor. This part was, I was like, man,

I don't know where this gym is, but the aerobus class is right next to all the weightlifting machines. And there's all

these meathead guys just checking out. They're lifting weights and pump and iron and everything, but they're all just like basically watching all these girls jump up and down and everything and licking their lips,

watching them. And then we also see the cop, the police officer that was trying to get at her. And he can't hack it in the class because he kind of just collapses. But he's still trying to throw it down on her, but she ain't having any of it. She keeps... Yeah, he's a borderline.

and stalker. Yeah. He was already in love when he saw her, but she's kind of, I guess he's wearing her down because she starts to laugh around and giggle at his jokes and everything. So class is over. She walks outside. Everyone's leaving. She hears something.

She hears like a girl kind of like scream a little and she sees these dudes. The guys that were gawking at all the girls, she walks over in checks. and there is four of them and they got her like in the corner against a wall and they're all like touching and grabbing her one of the guys grabs her bag and just starts dumping

all her clothes onto the ground and then Special K goes up to her like hey you guys need to leave her alone and then they're like ah well we'll play with you or whatever the crazy shit they were saying to her I don't know leave her alone Philly's watching the whole time

not doing anything there is all kinds of people watching other women and like maybe five other guys looking and not even trying to step in they probably would have got whooped on but they could at least stepped in and attempted to at least at least the police officer there should have said police officer he does but after the fact I mean he doesn't he's not like right there yet because they all just surround her and then she starts kicking ass she starts giving him

kicks, doing flips. She breaks out this metal bar and throws it at one of the guys, kicks another one, like, down the stairs, and he goes flying into a garbage can. I don't know how heavy this bar is, but she throws it down on the two guys and they go fall. And this is when Billy comes walking up, and everybody's hooting and hollering and cheering and clapping,

and Billy's just watching with his mouth open. So after she beat the hell out of those guys, Billy grabs her and all right Come on you're coming with me You're under arrest and she's like what And then she just gets in his car and he's I'm not taking you win But I just want to make sure you get home

And then he starts throwing his Mac down still And it's just like thirst The thirst is real Because all those guys got let off And he Allegedly arrest her Just so he can drive a with her to keep like you said putting it on her he basically takes her home and i guess she wants to

get clean clean all the sweat off because she goes into the bathroom and must shower up really quick all right here is a question was she possessed right here or did she just eff it i'm going to some i was going to ask you was she when she was kicking ass was that the possession or was that her. I think that was the possession. I don't think she I mean, she didn't do nothing like super duper special. I mean, because she said she was a gymnast, like

the real actress. She said she was a gymnast. So, because she said she was fighting to do her own stunts. I'm going to say this was her because it'd be weird if the black ninja was possessing her

body at this time to seduce him. well man didn't try very hard or he was trying hard but like maybe twice and then she finally said eff it and uh i'm gonna give it up because she backs him onto his couch and starts straddling him and then she gets the v8 and dumps it down her neck and then i i hated v8 back then but now i can drink it because i'm an old man i need my uh vitamins but he starts licking it off her neck and it's like oh my god i mean this guy hey i mean i'm i don't know no one's ever told me i was a good kisser or anything but he was basically trying to swallow her licking her neck i was like okay

is this necessary for the story he beats it up we don't see it but then um they're laying their sleep uh and they only met like the day before so maybe it's different than 80s. And her apartment is just total 80s. You got the neon lights and all kinds of little things in there. It's a nice place. I wonder how much it was back in the 80s. But she kind of wakes up because then the mysterious wind is blowing and then she's getting a light in her closet and then we see smoke or whatever coming out. And then there's this light flashing in her closet and then she opens it up and look and there's the katana sword and it's hovering and like I said back in the good old days you can clearly see all the strings it's hovering it comes out of its little holder and she's

looking at it and doesn't know what's going on and the lighting and everything with this shot man it can it seemed you could just the way they were shining it on it kind of just reminded me of a lights they were at times in this scene but it's hovering around in front of her and then she kind of just grabs it and I guess she's just feeling feeling the force of this Cassant

the Catanas sword from the black ninja and then this is how we know she's possessed at times because there's her she got that ninja eyeliner on and her face is really white and we see that she's like

got this real evil look in her face and then she has a little flashback of the black ninja when she lasts on. The katana sort is shaking and she doesn't know what's happening. There was a lot of scenes like this one. There was just no dialogue, just exorcists or possession stuff on the screen.

Billy wakes up because he hears something and she's putting the katana sword back in the closet. And he's kind of like, oh, where'd you get that? That's cool. Where'd you get that? It's just something. I'm going to hang on the wall. He's like, all right, cool. He's a bad police officer.

Yeah, he doesn't put two and two together. So he doesn't... He's not making detective. No, man, he's... He wasn't even thinking. He may be thinking about round two. Because you got the witness to the black ninja. But you also see her kick a bunch of ass and have samurai swords.

And you're just not connecting anything. You're just thinking about the next time. All right, next thing we go to the airport, Shokasugi's character. His name is Goral Yamada. I think that's how you say it. I might be saying his last name wrong. But he's met by some three Japanese gentlemen,

and they kind of realize just letting him know what's going on because they do hear the news story about the ninjas. That's why they kind of brought him in. And there is a backstory with Goral and the black ninja we'll get to later on. But the cop is still throwing it down on her and she's just trying to do work and she's just not really feeling it.

But when he shows up at her, she's doing a job. And he kind of pops up and shows up in his partner in his car. She looks over at him. And then she has like a little vision. It's one of the cops, the shot at the Black Ninja. So she's like, all right.

So now this is the guy. Because that's basically her mission is to find all the cops that survived that were shooting at him and go after him. So she kind of just gets in her gear in her van and just hauls ass and follows them. Basically follows Billy and he drops off his partner. He goes in the house and he's doing his thing and then she kind of ninja gears up. I'm going to skip it some things because there's some things where it was nothing. It was just more of Billy trying to get on her and let's go out on a date and all that. And she's like, eh, all right, whatever.

But while he's doing that, and she's just looking the fucking craziest. Like she's half dead. Because after she got off the phone with him, she goes, she's in her apartment and all the lights are flickering, the wind's blowing, the smoke is coming out everywhere. And she doesn't really know what the hell is happening. Her video game is moving and smoke's coming out of it. And she's just scared and just we know something bad is going to happen. Basically more possession stuff. So I don't know why she just doesn't leave her apartment, but okay.

So there, some red laser comes out of her, out of her video game, video game called Bouncer, obviously something made up. It's like one of those little psychedelic lasers. If you go to like fish or tool or whatever. one of those kind of crazy concerts, Pink Floyd. And I assume this is just ninja possession beam. I don't know what it is, because she's just standing there, and there's lights hitting her in the face. And nothing's really happening, I mean, other than this light, and she's just got her eyes closed,

and her hair's blowing all over the place. So she goes into her room, and here comes the hovering. catanas sword out of her closet and it glides across the room in front of her again shout out the Screen Factory Shop Factory for erasing all the strings

but it looks so goofy and everything but hey Vince it's the it's the mid 80s everyone it still looks like it's floating on a string because it's not floating like perfectly it's just kind of dipping up and down yeah this is no

CGI boys and girls there was But not in this film. So she gets her possession, ninja eyes, the eyeliner, and she's looking all crazy. So, I need... Quick question. Is all these scenes with the sword coming out of the closet floating around and the wind blowing? What is, what is the sorry about dogs for? Well, are these needed?

Because he's already possessed her. Maybe once, twice at the most. but they show so much of this I don't think so maybe they were just we need to show some some demonic possession effects

I don't know but whatever it is so she's possessed now she gets in her van she drives out to that secret ninja cave she finds a little secret ninja rock that opens up and she finds all her weapons

and her whoa still out there blowing things up. So it's 4th of July when we're recording this. I thought they were all done, but it sounds like they're still blown stuff up here on the res.

Anyway, be careful if you guys are out there blowing up fireworks. Blow your hands off. So she gets all her ninja gear. She gears up. I like her little outfit. It's that same one as the black ninja. He's a little army green looking suit. She goes to the house

of one of the guys that was shooting at him that where Billy dropped off. He's in his house playing pool in his underwear and his wife beater and his big stogie in his mouth and she kind of creeps in into his house and then just kind of surprises him, comes out of nowhere and he's like, who the hell are you? And then he starts throwing cue balls at her. She grabs one. No, the first one he throws at her, she cuts it, she slices it in half.

And he's like, fuck. Then he throws up another one. She catches it. and then just squeeze it with her hands. So I guess she's got the black ninja magic possession strength. Yeah, don't, don't. If someone shows up late night to your house, dresses as a ninja,

don't question them. No, and especially if you're a cop, man, just start shooting and ask questions later. If they break in their house, you can go for it. Yeah,

don't throw pool balls. He swings the cue stick at her. a couple of times but she just cuts it in half with her sword um he tries to go reaching for his gun she throws a ninja star instead of hitting

him with it it like hits the wall but stops his hand and uh this is where she's got the secret ninja uh strength because she grabs him with one hand and then lifts him up against the wall and then she pulls out a sword

and cuts him in the face and then throws him out the window and I assume that killed him because he's laying there dead killed him he's laying there dead in his spankies and then she takes off

yeah so the cops come and they all find him and they he's dead because the the paramedics are bringing him out and they don't really know why or why he was killed or who have done it Billy's there on the scene and he's just kind of like

I don't know but I think his wheels are starting to spin Because when he's looking around at all the crowd We see Chokasugi's character Goro He's standing there looking at him And Billy kind of just notices But doesn't really

Think much of anything Yeah like I said Billy's horrible Because I think He mentioned something about Carl and Christie to see what she's doing And I don't think He's even talking about the case that's why he's a flat foot

he's not a detective yet he's not even good at that though he must be new on the force the next morning he's over at chrissey's house so obviously spent the night

and crushed it again but she's starting to tell him that yeah i don't know I'm just like kind of blacking out and not knowing what's going on because she goes I woke up and I got these bruises on me

and she has one on the back of her shoulder uh so he's like Well, I don't know, man. We should go to the doctor or something, whatever. And this is when he's standing there with his wife beater and his sweater. His hair sweater. She's hugging him, and her face is, like, right in all that shoulder. Dude, that sounds like a shotgun blast.

I don't know what they're doing out there. So he takes her to the doctor, or I don't know if he took her, but she goes and gets a brain scan. And the doctors are kind of just telling her, Yeah, everything's good, but there's obviously something wrong if you're blacking out and everything, but she's just still trying to figure out what the hell it is. So she goes to- Exactly what you want your doctor to say.

Everything looks good, but there's still something wrong. Yeah. She goes to the police station, I assume to tell Billy what the doctors were saying, but while she's in there, she sees one of the cops. And when she sees him, she has that flashback of him. him shooting at the Black Ninja and he's walking out of the police station. I don't know if these are two hookers or two receptionists that work at the police station. And they're just walking out.

He's getting them out of trouble. Yeah. Look, come with me and I'll make sure your records clean. So they walk out around the corner and she goes following them and they go into the, what's this place called? International Spa Health Resort. So go into the scene He's in the hot tub with these two chicks

And they're making out And he's laughing around Having a good time Special K comes walking in With towels Or she knocks on the door And one of them Oh, we need towels anyway

So come on in So she comes into the room And she's looking At the three that are in the hot tub And then she takes off her robe I thought she was naked at first But the cop like stopped and looked at like, whoa, hey, what's happening here?

And the other two girls, like, who is she? Why is she here? Get her out of here. And he's like, well, hey, man, she's here. She might as well join the party or whatever. Yeah, this scene was hilarious. Because one chick really is not feeling it because she's just like, oh, is this bitch. And the other one, like, she's like, oh, I want to see what happens.

Like, she's into it. Yeah, she was like, I want to watch. So, special cake comes. She's in a bathing suit. She's not in her birthday suit. She comes in and just slowly looking all sexy, gets into the tub, goes up to this cop and starts making out with them. Yeah, one of them gets out. I'm out of them.

No, they kind of just get away from them. One of them discussed it, and the other one said she's going to watch. But she's got this ring on, and it's got a little, I think it was like a little pearl that she pulled off. But it's got, it's like a little ninja ring with ninja poison. in it because while she's hugging and making out with this guy she taps the back and stabs him with it and then it just whatever is in that tip just immediately kills him because he kind of keels over and just falls into the tub and drowns uh the girls are screaming he grabs she grabs one of them and then rakes that ring uh across her chest and scratches or so the poison that instantly

kills her uh the other one tries to get out and run but she pulls out some kind of little ninja string or whatever, wrapped it around her throat and chokes her and then drowns her in the water and then she gets the hell out of Dodge. So those three people are dead. These two chicks are just casualties of war. Yeah, I think I changed my mind. Maybe it was the possessed Black Ninja seducing Billy because he's pretty good at it right here, seducing this

cop. So after she's gone, this is a question for me. Goro, Shokasui comes walking in. I don't know how long after, but he comes in. So does he just feel the ninja, the, the ninja force and he knows what's happening? I don't know. He just shows up for no explanation to this place where that cop and the two girls are dead. It's good ninja skills.

And so, because he kind of just kneels down, make sure one of them's dead or feeling to see, like checking her pulse on her neck. she's dead but he like touches the blood and then he like looks at it and then that's the end of that scene he doesn't know what's happening so but he's tracking him he's tracking him it's like sunny landum from predator uh speaking of him man have you ever seen southern comfort i spent a while i just watched it for the first time last night it's i didn't know he was in it shout out to him shout out to his daughter she was nice with me and mike met her last year. Yeah, rest in peace.

Yeah, rest and peace. Billy Bear. Anyway, so Special K is your Christine, whatever you guys want to call her. She's still like blacking out. She doesn't know what's going on.

She's telling Billy. Like, I don't feel right. But he's just like, well, I don't know what to tell you, man. The doctors and everything. And she's just like, all right. But he's basically, again,

bad cop. work he's not putting two and two together uh she's basically i need help i need help and all this so he's the they she kind of came up with the idea all right let's go see uh at first i thought he was like a like a fortune teller or something but um they go and see uh david lopin yeah low pan uh but he looks like snoddy from uh revenge of the nerds too right here What was this? He ever seen That movie Balls of Fury?

Yeah. Blind Master. I just watched Revenzing the Nerds, too. Well, I actually watched both of them back to back. And I forgot he was in the second one. He was a snotty. He was a boogers, uh, mentor. He looks just like how he did he.

He's got long hair and that little scraggly, uh, goatee and, uh, mustache. But, um, I, assume he was was he an exorcist or whatever you call those guys? I don't know. I thought he was a fortune teller

type thing. I think that was pretty much what he is because Billy does have to pay him to get his to get the work in. So he kind of does a little once over and then realizes there's something there's something wrong with her.

So I was like, all right, well, if all this is happening, then we should try this. I don't think he was expecting what he got because his little servant, she brings out like a leather belt with chains and everything on it, and they're like, well, what do you need this for? He goes, well, sometimes when people are possessed,

if things happen, this kind of holds them in place. so we can do this exorcism or whatever safely. So she's all geared up and everything. He gets all his little magic things and starts doing prayers, I guess. And then she just, at first she's like, okay, whatever. Billy's just sitting there like, what the fuck is this? He packs up the pipe. I don't know what was in it, opium or weed or whatever it was,

but he gives her a rip from it. And then his partner or whatever is there, and he starts doing his thing saying his little, whatever he's saying in Japanese, I don't speak Japanese, I don't know what he's saying, but basically doing some kind of prayers or whatever. But then the room starts getting out here. He comes at a black ninja wind is blowing in there.

things in there start moving around the light's starting to change he doesn't know what's going on the candles flames are going super high and then I think this is at this point he's low paying everyone

he's starting to realize oh something's happening because Christine her head is down but then she looks up and she's got that evil possessed ninja look but she starts saying things

but it's all in Japanese there was no no Japanese subtitle. There was no subtitles. So he's saying stuff back to her. And all we can do is just guess unless you guys know, understand Japanese. Billy's like, oh, fuck.

Because when she looks up again, her face is all white and she's got red eyes. And he's just, Lopan is just, ah, what the fuck? He's just all scared. She's blowing out smoke out of her mouth. And she starts screaming. And Billy's like, what the fuck, man?

What are we going to do? And he basically tells him, look, there's an evil spirit in her. And I don't know if I can get it out, but I'm going to try. So she's just, ah, I scream. Okay, whatever she was saying in Japanese, he pulls out a knife. And Billy's like, what are you doing? And he goes, she wants me to cut her loose. And he's like, well, fuck, man, look at her.

We can't. So he's like, well, she wants me to. I don't know. I think he was starting to get scared. and just going to listen to what she's saying. Because he tries to cut one of the ropes, but Billy jumps in and kind of shoves him down. But her secret possessed ninja strength,

she breaks the two ropes that her hands are tied. And then she's, again, she's got that leather belt, and she's chained up. But Billy gets another rope and wraps it around her and ties it up, and she's still, ah, screaming, and Lopan is on his knees. He's like, stop, stop, or whatever. I think you're just not supposed to get involved

when the exorcism is going on. She's starting to speak Japanese again, and then Lopan is just scared out of his mind. He didn't know what the hell's happening. She starts screaming, and then all of a sudden, he starts Lopan, I don't know his nameing this, but he starts gliding up the wall and she's looking at him and he's

ah he's screaming Billy's like what the fuck's happening here and then all of a sudden she just like starts spinning again she still has that chain belt wrapped around her and she's just spinning and spinning and circles and Billy's like what the fuck and you can clearly see it's a dummy

because it looks terrible according to Wikipedia the David Lopened is my Yashima and I guess he's supposed to be an exorcist. Well, he's not a good one. Yeah, as it comes off, like, maybe this is his first time.

Yeah, he just, maybe he knows what to do, but this is, yeah, he has his first time doing it. She says something again in Japanese and then just falls backward and kind of just blacks out. Well, Lopan is like, get this bitch out of here. So, but he's telling him, but you need to be careful. you you this this is serious shit man but i can't help you so sorry bro get lost so billy's like all right man whatever so i mean they don't know what to do so they basically have to leave and he still had to pay him yeah well he paid him right when they got there but uh he was basically telling him look man she's possessed with something and i don't know what what it is uh i think whatever what he was

whatever she was saying in japanese i think he realized uh who he was because he does tell bill he oh this is she's possessed by the hundrual the black ninja so this is serious shit man watch out so after that scene we see uh shokensugi he's uh god i don't know if you can hear that but that's motherfuckers damn um they're outside everyone blowing shit up i swear dude sounds like shotguns uh Anyway, you never know. Yeah, I'm not even go out there to look.

It's hot here in the studio and I got the window open. So Shokensugi shows up to the morgue and security guard comes out and he kind of beast the shit out of him. It doesn't kill him. He does throw a ninja star at him, but it doesn't kill him or stabbing or anything. But he just gives him some chops and kicks and then throws him down. And then he sneaks into the morgue. and he's looking for the body of the black ninja. Another security guard comes up,

hey, who are you? Roundhouse kick to him. Two more guys, two more securities come out with the billy clubs, and he chops them up and they fall down. There's no weapons. He just with his hands. Then he goes into the room where all the bodies are.

And there's two orderlies, I guess. I don't know. They got surgeon scrubs on. So he's, he's like, they're like, who are you? And he's kind of like giving them the, come here, look. And they go, what? What do you want?

He puts his hands on their shoulders and then grabs their heads and slams them together and they both pass out. Like three stooges style. I love that part. He walks over to the refrigerator and he pulls out the body of the black ninja. And I don't know why he's not covered, but he's got bullet holes all over his chest. So during this scene This is when we have a flashback scene

To Goro And I think it's his dad And the black ninja along with his crew They have Goro chained up Or tied up to a fence And then the black ninja has I assume that's Goro's dad

And then he like slices his throat And then he pulls out a ninja star And throws it and it gets Goro right in the eye Because his left eye has a patch over it. There's some symbols on his patch. I don't know what it says or what it means.

But he takes the body because he knows that he has to take it to these little sacred temples that are somewhere in the hills of Phoenix. It's clearly not really temples. It's just matting. It looks terrible. So he takes that body up to that.

And up in that little temple is a bunch of I don't know if these are ninja guys in training or who they are, but we go back to the police station, we see Billy and Christine, she's kind of just hanging out with them. Oh, during her little

possession, exorcism thing, I guess she was so scared. Some of her hair turned white. So if you remember Polter guys when Joe Beth Williams' character, the mom got scared and had that white hair, I assume that's what happened. or Nancy from

Lamar on the street yeah so she's sitting there and she's kind of just hanging out with Billy and then these two cops come walking up like oh hey Billy the funeral for officer so-and-so the one she killed when he was throwing

cue balls at her her his service is at four at the wherever wherever so I hope you be there she turns to look when she sees them talking and then she's got that flashback the ESP ninja flashback and she sees a Mexican and a black cop. She sees them

shooting at them. So she's kind of like all right, so she knows who these guys are and where they're going to be. So they're just kind of basically just telling Billy just show up and be there, don't be or be square. So she goes back home and she

because she was telling Billy that she feels weird but he's kind of like you're all right. Still not putting two and two together. well they must she she doesn't look all right i think he should well this is after the exorcism part she he shouldn't realize that all right you're possessed by and the the lopan told him so i didn't think he just kind of shot it off like yeah i don't believe any of that because he still he saw what he saw but he just assumed he didn't really believe it because if i would have seen something like that i don't think i don't want to see anything like that but uh i don't think he should have

left her side. Well, we all agree that Billy's not the best. Everybody does. We go back to her apartment and all the shit starts happening. The lights are flickering. The ninja smokes come in. Her appliances are flashing on and on. Her curtains are closing.

Everything covers opening up and down. Infrigerator flying all over the blocking her from trying to get out. She doesn't know what's. happening and I don't well I guess she did try to leave with the refrigerator stop the the door and just things are going crazy in her in her apartment and she's just trying to get the hell out of there she runs in her room tries to call Billy with the phone's not working because it starts saying stuff in Japanese when she picks it up um the the room starts shaking and then the light start flashing and then the

um her closet comes busting open and all this smoke and this light's coming out of it and it's trying to suck her in there because she's hanging on to her bed frame and everything and she's like ah she runs over and shuts

the blinds um really quick I was watching the extras uh she said that they built this her room on one of those little slanted uh things that can tilt the room so it doesn't have to have to act like she's falling but she's really falling but she's hanging on to that thing so this part was funny because after the she shuts

the closet and everything kind of comes down for a minute she turns on her stereo and starts dancing and then the closet busts open and the ninja sword comes gliding out towards her and slices the radio her little stereo and stops the music this is where I thought I remembered that she danced the demons away she tried it didn't work

it just probably made them matter the closet opens up again and it's like a poltergeist thing it's trying to suck her in there because she's hanging on but she can't she can't not strong enough for the ninja

spirits and it sucks her into the closet like Caroline so she's in there Billy comes to the to the cemetery for his

fellow officer's funeral while he's driving in there he sees Christine's a work van and he goes up to it and looks in and he sees her bag and when he digs in it there's a

ninja star in it so he picks it up and he's like fuck so he starts looking for her all right we see christine now she's all geared up in her ninja gear uh while they're having the funeral and she climbs up into the tree and before or when she was waiting for the right time to strike uh when the uh the cops are doing the uh the gun salute uh as soon as one uh fires she has her bow and and arrows ready So when they shoot, she lets one rip. And it hits one of the cops that she saw earlier. One of the ones that killed her was shooting at the Black Ninja. So after she hits him, all hell breaks loose.

All the cops don't know what's happening. They're just basically shooting in every direction. She shoots the other cop with an arrow in the neck. He goes down. And all the cops are, ah, running around. They don't know what the hell is going on. One of the, a couple of the other cops were just in the line of fire of this bow and arrow.

So they got taken out. But she hit the two targets that she wants. So, but Billy, when all this is going on, Billy's running around trying to look for her. And then all the cops go running. They jump into the squad cars. They all immediately jump onto their motorcycles and start driving around. They have no idea what they're looking for.

they're just riding around. Christine gets a little grappling hook, slides down, kicks two of the cops off of their bikes. A squad guard comes riding up. The passenger cop hangs out the window with a shotgun. Can't shoot at all because he clearly missing her. I don't know how you can miss with a shotgun, but okay. When the car comes, she ninja jumps up into the tree.

She's holding onto a branch. That cop shoots, breaks the branch, and then she goes falling down onto the squad car and then starts running. She pulls one of the cops driving by off the bike and then she slices them and cuts his helmet in half. All these other cops are running after her with billy clubs and then they just start trying to beat her ass. I don't know why they didn't pull out their guns and shoot her, but okay, I guess she had to have some martial arts fight scenes. But these cops can't fight for shit because she just runs through all of them. I mean, they grab her and everything, but she's roundhouses throwing chops and everything.

There's like four cops right here. None of them, not one of them could have just pulled out their gun and fired it at her, but okay. Movie would have been over. What I did like about, shout out to all the choreography in this and the stunt guys, the cop and the ninja. There's times, like I said, that, what the hell is her name? Lucinda, Dickie, Christine. She fought to do her own stunts, but they were like,

you can't. What if you get hurt? Because she's, well, I'm a gymnast. I can handle it. What if you're doing a spin kick and you come down wrong and twist your ankle and we can't have that? So they had to get all, they had to get stunt women and stunt men to play her. There's times where you can see that you know it's a woman

and then there's other times where you can clearly see that it's a man. So after she beats up some more cops, She goes running and here comes Goro Shokensugi. He sees her and then she runs. She's running through the trees and then she comes to a fence. She stops. Does a ninja leap flip over this bobwire fence? Here comes Goro.

He does the same thing. He's standing right in front of the fence and he does a flip. If you guys seen Revenge of the Ninja, he did that and that as well. So she goes running into this abandoned house. and he he goes in there after her she's I assume it was cold when they were filming this

because he's breathing uh... Goro he's breathing and all the cold you see his breath so he kind of he gets he's trying to get into the house and she's like stabbing the sword

through all those wood but he eventually just kicks down some wood and goes in he sees her and she runs up to the stairs and this house is pretty much it's boarded up and the floorboards are all messed up

because he starts falling through things and the walls are all kind of pretty much taken down but he chases her up up these stairs and she just starts throwing everything and she throws a sink at him she throws a toilet

and all kinds of stuff while he's trying to go up these stairs but he does make it up there and then she starts fighting him but then he falls through the floor I think she kicked him or something

and then he falls he goes back through the floor back onto the bottom floor again and then he's looking around he's looking up trying to get her and he while he fell through the floor he gets stabbed with something like a piece of rebar or something but he like just pulls it out of him

but he's looking around he sees he notice her he can hear her steps so he jump does a ninja leap and goes through the floor of this and then they start fighting again while they're up on the second floor he pulls her mask off so he sees her but while they're doing this the cops show up so he's like he's looking at her like all right I mean he knows he knows what's happening he knows that she's possessed by the black ninja so when all the cops are coming he's like, all right, come on, you got to go. So she leaps out this window. And you can clearly see it's a man with a wig on.

So she gets the hell out of there. She, she's gone. She makes, she gets away. But then Goro comes out the front door and all these cops are right there. And they, uh, they arrest him. So he, because he just basically gives up like, all right, I didn't do anything, but all right, I'm going to go with you. Billy shows up and he sees, sees what's happening. But, uh, he doesn't, know what's going on. But Billy does remember seeing him earlier because he wants to talk to him. So he gets into the

Goro's in the back seat of the car. He gets in and says look, this is what's happening and this is what can we do? How can we stop this? And he basically tells him, look, go bring her to that temple that's up on, up in

the mountains. And he's like, all right. And he goes, we'll deal with it there when she gets there. so he's like okay so he leaves this part was funny it made me laugh um I thought

Billy gave him a key to get out of those handcuffs um but he uh girls in the in the squad car he's sitting in the back I don't know why he's not handcuffed with his hands behind him

but his hands are in front of him but he acts like there's a cop sitting next to him there's no like cage or whatever whatever, to divide the prisoner and the officers. It's early 80s. I like what he does. He reaches under his little ninja patch, eye patch.

He pulls out something. And then he looks over at the cop next to him and he shoots a little dart or something into his neck. And then he passes out. And then he, I guess that same little dart thing, he rakes across the, the passenger officer. And then he passes out. And the driver's looking around at both of them like, hey, man, what's the hell's going on? And Goros like, they're tired. They fell asleep.

And then he's like, what? And then he grabs that officer and knocked him out. And then just he ends up taking the, no, he, the cop stops. And what's happening? He says, they fell asleep. He pulls out his gun to try to, I guess he was going to shoot Gore, but then Gorel leans back and kicks him in the face and knocks him out. So he gets the keys to get out of the handcuffs and he jets. We go back to Christine's apartment.

Billy comes in. He's got his gun drawn because he's finally putting two and two together and you know what's happening. He walks in. He sees her little ninja suit there. And then he goes up to her or he goes into her bedroom and he goes into the closet and he's going to try to take the katana sword. But then she comes in and like, what are you doing? and then he pulls his gun on her like all right come on I need to take you up to that temple and she's like

why why and everything he goes okay he goes all right come on we we gotta do this this will help you and she's like no no he's like all right come on he pulls out his handcuffs and uh she's pretty much beat up from fighting all the cops because she's got a black eye and uh the part of her face is looks like it's bleeding okay really quick let me back up

uh in the beginning when the black Ninja was fighting all the cops and they were all shooting at him. He clearly sees all the ones that he was going after, but there was one cop that was like kind of in the bushes in the shadows. Yeah, and the sun was behind him.

So he really, all he saw was is still aware. So we didn't know who there was. We, the audience pretty much puts two and two together. So, but when she's looking at Billy talked to him, she remembers and then she realizes that he was the one that she couldn't see.

so she becomes possessed again she's got the ninja eyes she slaps him around pulls out the the katana sword I thought she was going to kill him right here he walks up to her or she walks up to him while he's laying on the ground

she starts to chop it but she kind of like snaps out of the trance and then she grabs all her gear and then jets out of house gets in a little work van and rolls so Billy goes still don't know what's going on

Billy goes Chase it after her But she's driving Halling ass down the road And he's hauling ass After her But he can't hang this one turn And crashes into the curb

And I assume Blue his tires out I don't know We go to the temple Goro shows up So he After he Knocked out all three of those cops

I assume he just threw him out Because he comes riding up In the squad car He goes into the temple And we see all these guys in Orange and their training and fighting and he's telling the I assume they're master. All right. This is what's going on and this is what we're going to do.

So he goes, hey, I may need you guys help? And he's like, sure, man, we'll stick around. So Christine shows up to the temple. She goes in and she's all nidjid up. She doesn't have her mask on yet, but she's kind of just walking around and she looks in there. She goes into this one big room and she sees the, there's a. a table with a red cloth over it. She pulls that back and it's the

black ninja. He's laying there. And he's all done up in his gear. So she puts her hood on and she's sitting there and then Goro comes up to her and is talking her and basically he telling like, look, this is what's going to happen. And we got to do this or

you're going to die or whatever, basically telling her that. And she's like, all right, whatever. So she springs into action. and they fight for a second. Yeah, she pulls out the sword and they start fighting having this awesome katana sword fight.

You clearly see it's not her. But good choreography. I mean, there's some scenes where they zoom in and you can see her eyes so you know it's her. But he doesn't want to kill her. He ends up flipping her and she falls down and she's laying on her back.

And all of a sudden, her eyes start to glow. and then her whole body glows and it looks cheesy. A girl does a backflip to get away and the spirit of the black ninja comes out of Christine in this crazy little smoke thing and then it goes into the black ninja Honduro's body and the katana sword goes hovering and lands into his arm and then he, I don't know, I don't know if he was on a platform or what, but he kind of spins sideways. He's still laying stiff.

And then it's just, it stands him up. This part was weird. I didn't get why they did this. So, because earlier, Gorel told Christina, like,

because she goes, well, can you help me? He's like, yeah, well, how are we going to stop? And he goes, well,

I have to kill him. There's only a ninja. It's a story of ninja. Yeah, only a ninja can kill a ninja. So she's like, all right. So,

but when this, black ninja comes back to life, he starts, walking toward them and swinging his sword and fighting him, but he's walking like a robot or a zombie. He looks like a zombie. He's skin's all pale. I didn't get why he's able to fight in this body. I thought he jumped into her

body because this body was all shot up. I don't know. I guess the possession. And you would think on top of being shot up, he's been, this body's been dead for for days. So it can't be any good. I don't know. We didn't write this movie.

So they start fighting. They break out the swords and they're doing the kicks and everything. But then the black ninja kind of jumps up, steps back. And all those little guys that were in training, the guys in the orange, they're kind of standing off to the side watching. But the black ninja does, who's the guy that throws the fireballs in Mortal Kombat? Is that Luke

Yeah, yeah. He does the Lukang fireball, the Black Ninja, and throws it at the little ninja guys in training. I assume that's who they are. And it kind of like bounces off their heads and goes through them. And then they become possessed because they're like, ah, then they grab all their gear and their little crazy weapons. And they all go after Goro.

But there's no match to him. Does Goro not have powers? Because the Black Ninja has all the powers in the world. Power of the dark side. Goro's just fighting all these guys. He's not killing him because he knows that they're not themselves. But he ends up beating the shit out of all of them, all the ones that come at him. But yeah, he does tell him, look, man, I can't kill you guys.

So he fights some more of them. They're all chasing them and everything. But he's just trying to get away from them. He throws a ninja bomb down the smoke screen and then he kind of gets out of there so he can go chase down a black ninja. So he runs outside and he's chasing the black ninja. And then this is when Billy shows up. Christine's laying there on the altar all passed out. He goes up and hugs her.

And then she kind of wakes up. And when she wakes up, she looks at him. And yes, she's surprised and shock gives him a big old hug. and all right, let's start making out. How did he know where they were? He told him. Oh, okay. He, uh, Goro told Billy that, you need to bring her to that temple up on the mountain.

Oh, that's right. I thought Billy did some police work. So that's why you showed up, but I don't know, understand this makeout session. Back outside, Goro's taking on the black ninja. The black ninja starts throwing smoke bombs. Adam. They look like smoke bombs or flash grenades because there's big explosions. Billy and Christine go out to look for them. Back to Goro and the Black Ninja, they pull out their katana swords and they're fucking just slicing and dicing.

I love the choreography for this and shout out to whoever the other stuntman is for Goro. I don't know or not Goro, the Black Ninja. I don't know if that actor is a real stunt man. I don't know, but they made it seem like he did some of the stunts. But all the stuff for Shokensugi, that was him. Maybe that wasn't him when he did that flip, ninja flip over the fence. But they're going out. They're fighting up on this hill, like on these big rocks and there's big cliffs on sides of them.

But they're having an awesome katana sword fight. the black ninja ends up getting Goro's sword away from him and then he starts He basically just knocks it out of his hand So Goro's like oh man out of the Yeah Goro's like what the fuck so he's kind of getting backed over to this cliff But then he just starts doing his

The hand-to-hand stuff And starts kicking his ass But then he gets the black ninja's katana sword Out of his hand and gets it away from him So then they go to hand-to-hand combat and everything. And they're beating the shit out of each other with the flips and the crazy ninja jumps and all that. How the hell did he stop? Oh, Billy and Christine are watching.

And the Goro, he pulls out like one of those little ninja chains. the little ninja chain thing he's got and he's swinging around trying to stop him and then black ninja's kind of kicking his ass for a minute he pulls out his katana sword again he's throwing it around but uh billy he pulls out his side arm he's going to shoot the black ninja but christine stops him and pretty much told him um the ninja can only kill a ninja that's why basically that's what she told him but they don't we don't hear him say it. But Goro eventually gets the

katanas sword away from the black ninja and just kind of throws it. And it lands over by Christine. She picks it up and goes running full speed and stabs the black ninja and looks like on the side. And he's just stumbling around.

Goro's just looking at him. The black ninja reaches up to the heavens. He comes down with his little ninja sign. and this is when we get the famous ninja corkscrew. He starts spitting, like really slow, but like, and it just goes into the dirt. And then.

Yeah, because at first you're like, what is he doing? Because he's not really going into the earth right away. Yeah, he's going really slow. Yeah, but then eventually he starts going down into the ground. And you're like, oh, he's corkscrewing into the ground for, some reason. Yeah. So once he goes into the ground, then the earthquake starts.

The ground's shaking. The Goro's like, what the hell? He's like getting ready to fall. He pulls out his little ninja grappling hook and throws it over to a tree. But the ground is still shaking and it opens up into like a little cavern in between. He goes fall. down that but he's still holding on the rope hanging on but then while he's trying to pull himself up the uh the black ninja i assume came out of the the crack uh when the earth opened up and it jumps

up and he grabs um goro's leg and goros just trying to kick him off but he but he can't all right really quick right here i was watching an interview with uh with um with christine or special k Lucinda Dickey They filmed this scene And then they were done They were The movie was wrapped And she said

So as soon as this was done They said they didn't need me anymore She went and started filming breaking So while she was doing that They kind of got a hold of her They said hey look cook We're not really happy with this ending We need you

And we need Jordan Bennett to come back So we can do Some more shots that we can add into the ending So she was like okay, so on her off days from breaking, she went over to do it. But if you guys remember her hair in breaking, she had really short hair. So she goes, yeah, I was in the middle of filming that film. So they had to put a wig on me to film this last scene.

And though you can clearly see it's a wig, it looks terrible. So she goes like, yeah, when we were filming this, there was no lines. She goes, all we had to do was react. She said the director was saying, all right, the ninjas are. fighting down here. He's trying to get up. You guys are looking down at him and act shocked or scared or whatever. So that's all they did. They didn't even say

one line in those reshoots that they added. But Black Ninja is hanging on to Goro's leg. But then he pulls out his little ninja dagger and then stabs the Black Ninja right in the top of the head.

And then he just kind of lets go and then falls falls to the ground and that's pretty much the end of him. He's looking down at him and then he sees that he's finally dead and then he ends up crawling to the top and then tells him, all right, it's over. And then so Christine and Billy are like, oh, yay, evil's punished. And he just kind of stands there and looks and you tell him he, he tells him, like, yeah, it's over.

And then he just kind of gives him a bow. They bow back to him. And then he just walks off. I don't know where he's going. He just ends up leaving. He does look back and smiles at them. And she kind of standing there with a shitty wig. And she looks at him.

And Billy's like, okay, this is over. Now what? Her eyes should have like flashed or something. Yeah. So they start making out again. We flashed to the ninja, the black ninja. We see him laying there. he still has the katana sword all the way through him and the one in his head

but then there's a huge white flash and then he disappears and the only things left are the dagger and the katana sword we see shokensugi goro yalamata walking on the ridge of this mountain that they're on sunset in the back and that's your movie but i do like this song during the credits, it's the same credit song they used

in Revenge of the Ninja. But the guys that wrote all this, they said, oh yeah, this is just a continuation, because it even says it in the trailer where Revenge of the Ninja End is where Ninja 3 begins. But none of these guys are the same characters.

Because if you guys remember, Enter the Ninja was the first one, Shokosugi was the bad guy and he's dead. Because that one dude, the white guy was the white. Ninja was the hero in that film. And then Revenge

of the Ninja Shokosugi was the hero. But he had an issue with this film. When they called him to come back to do it, he was already for it, but he didn't realize that he wasn't the star of this one. He was just

kind of the third character, the good ninja, and this is the backstory and everything. But when they were doing this, they kind of did explain to him, well, this is this is what we're trying to do we're going to do a possession type of thing and he was like uh he kind of frowned upon it but he's like all right man whatever let's let's do it but the guy that played the black ninja for this if i if i understand it right he didn't like that they were doing

a possession thing with with ninjas because i guess in that uh i don't know if it's a religion or whatever the ninjitsu or whatever you call it they didn't they wanted it to be more authentic with the ninja lore but there was some ninja lore throughout the three films but i mean they kind of threw that out of the window when you're making these films but he he was kind of like i don't know but he just they just they just hour amount maybe they paid him more well to Sam Fersonberg's kind of, he keeps it loose with the ninja lore because he does go on to do American Ninja 1 and 2 right after this. You remember that one, those two, we get ninjas in the daytime and we get a ninja in the daytime and we get a ninja way. How far did we did the first two?

Okay. we're gonna do three soon because yeah I watched it recently and yeah it's a movie everyone I mean they're definitely worth watching if you like these type of ninja 80s movies but

they said the director he was like fully on board he was like hell yeah man let's do this he he was having a really good time filming this movie and Lucinda Yeah Lucinda Special K, she was saying

that she really liked him and it was awesome that they did all the stuff that they did making this film because she was a little iffy at first because she said when

she got the part I guess she did some auditions and they just didn't call her so she kind of went back home for wherever she was from and then they called her and they said hey we're gonna we want you for this role uh so she's like okay so she had to go back

out uh to hollywood to to do it or to uh sign the papers or whatever so larry you're hired you're gonna do this film she was already she was mainly just really stoked that she got uh the main role in this film so she went and and they filmed it but she said like the first week uh it was just all training they had to train her how to fight they had to train her um how to climb a telephone pole with all the telephone pole climbing gear and everything

yeah so she had to do all of that stuff but she said that she did it all and she was all good and then they finally gave her a script it was good they like working with each other because I didn't know he went he did Sam Fersonberg directed Breaking 2 oh he did

yeah right after Ninja 3 he did Breaking 2 well that's cool because she said she had signed a five-picture deal um and they were supposed to make a break in three but they just didn't do it because breaking two kind of tanked um and this one ninja three tanked so um i guess they filmed it and then she rolled right into breaking uh they finished all that she had to come back to shoot some stuff over but breaking came out first i guess they kind of held off on the ninja three because they were like well, she's got this movie coming out.

Let's see how that does. And then we'll put our movie out, hoping that if that movie was breaking was successful, everyone's going to go see Ninja 3. Some people did. I went and seen it because I had already seen the first two Ninja films. So let's see what they got. I didn't realize that that was her until I saw her on the screen.

Because I didn't look to see who the actors were. I didn't really pay attention to her on the poster. I do remember one of my friends and it's the chick from breaking and when I saw her on the screen I was like oh okay that is her so breaking came out and it was just a goofy movie but it was a huge blockbuster for for the time um because breaking breakdancing at that time was at its peak I would say before it kind of disappeared and then came back um because there was break in there was beach street breaking two they should they threw break dancing and all kinds of ages. these movies. Break dancing and flash dance. Yeah. I mean, there was break dancing and thrashing. You guys have seen that film. But I mean, breaking is still big, man. Those dancers out there

are still doing it. Even the OGs that were doing it back in their day are still out there doing it. Maybe they can't do everything they did, but they're still out there doing it. She did one more movie after Breaking 2, and that was cheerleader camp, 1988, slasher movie. and the only thing movie-wise she did after the 80s was electric boogaloo the wild untold told story of canon films and documentary so basically she interviewed so she did one more movie after breaking two and that was it yeah she said that um after him she made all her movies i guess she met her husband got married she had two kids and then just kind of retired from acting, wanted to just stay home and raise her kids and be a wife.

So, because that's what it says here. This is the first film of a five-picture deal with Lucinda, who Minnie M. Golan wanted to make her a star very badly. The other films in the deal include Breaking, Breaking Two, Electric Bugaloo, Breaking Three, which was planned but fell apart. She was also offered a role for King Solomon's Minds and its sequel. the Alan Quarterman and the Lost City of Gold. But the later three films didn't happen of her because she felt that both she and Cannon films were totally tired of each other at that point.

Yeah, I guess because she was making these movies for them like boom, boom, boom, boom, right after another. So I think she kind of just realized, I don't know if I want to do any more. So they kind of agreed. Make breaking three now. uh well no what's his name he died um turbo turbo turbo not turbo uh ozone ozone yeah he he passed away i swear just seen turbo in something no he ozone passed away you can do it in the memory of ozone

you do it like all these other dance movies where they got a dance in a competition to save something but everybody's doing the same thing and they got to they got to they got a find some old school people to teach him the old school ways. Like it's Turbo. I mean, he, he can still do it. I saw him at a con. I think it was Albuquerque Comic Con. I saw him down there. And people were talking to him and they, somebody had some music and he played it. And he got up and did a couple of moves. He can still do it. Yeah, I saw him. My aunt took us all when we were, I think I was like 15, 16. He was like on tour.

he had like this stage show where they basically was like breaking the stage show and he was still doing the thing he was one of the um station robots and uh bill and ted bogus journey i don't know which one he was but he was one of them uh i want to say he was one of the turtles too in um i think was it the first turtles movie i think i could be wrong everyone he wasn't the one where you can see the guy's eyes in the mouth. No, I don't know. Yeah, which one is he in?

I know he was in family matters. He was the Urquil Robot. I could have swore. I thought he was in turtles. I guess he's not in turtles. He did Breaking. He was uncredited. Bill and Ted. He was in Family Matters.

He was a naked gun 33 and a third. I don't remember that. Dudley Do-Rite and I don't know. I must be thinking of someone else. But yeah, I mean, I saw him at the con. He still had the moves and- Michael Chambers, aka Bugaloo Shrimp. Rest in peace, ozone.

He passed in December of 2020. Shabbadoo. Yep. But Ninja 3, the domination. It was a movie, boys and girls. But it's a movie you have to see, though. Yeah, it's goofy and everything, but just watch it and have a good time. You either love it or you hate it.

If you love goofy, cheesy movies, then this movie is for you. But if you're going to sit there and try to analyze it and everything, then don't watch it because you're just going to make yourself sick and tired and maybe shut it off. but this is the movies that I grew up with and I loved it. I was all about the little ninja movement that was going on in the 80s. I believe this movie cost $2 million to make and I don't think they even made their budget back. Because this one was pretty much a flop.

It didn't hit as big as Revenge of the Ninja because Lucinda said that when she went to break it And it was like packed house and everything was all good. She goes, but when Ninja 3 came out, she went, she went to go see in the theater, but she sat in the back. And she said it was a lot of negativity of that screening and everything. I probably just went to a regular screening of it with the public and everything. So, but she said, I have all this stuff. Excuse me.

That she did. This is the movie. If somebody sees her in the street, this is what they talk to her about. so she's like it's it's a cult film and i'm happy i did it and i'm happy for the the people that they come up to her and tell her they all they love this film and everything so she because she said at that time when it came out she was like oh my god my career's over what did i do but i mean i don't think this killed her career she did more work right after should it should be remembered because technically if you consider this a cult film then you

have to consider well breaking and breaking two cult films so she's she's an all star she'll always be able to remember yep she is and all right everyone that was

Ninja 3 The Domination came out September 14th of 1984 and it is definitely a classic it's still on Blu-ray so if you're a physical media collector

and you have the other two movies you might as well get this one as well. Blu-ray is cheap too. It's like, depending on when you catch it on Amazon, it's like between like $9.99 and $11.99. I caught it when it was almost 30 when it first came out.

Yeah. But I don't know because Chow Factory, Screen Factory, whatever, they're, they're kind of wishy-washy on their titles. Sometimes they'll put one out and then it's limited. And then I think they're falling off. I don't like, this thing they're doing where they're just re-releasing

older stuff they released but now it's 4K yeah they got me with the fog steel book I had the first steel book but I like the art on this one yeah so I was like do I need it no but I'm gonna get it

I got like three two steel books and just the regular one with the slip cover for the fog but all right bry what uh what we got next for everyone well niz you asked for it in the facebook group i don't like this guy personally and as an action star i think most of his movies are garbage but he said we needed to do code of honor from 2016 starring stephen sigall I think it's on Tooby

I don't think I'm blue check worthy, but I ain't paying for something when I don't know. Maybe it just makes someone feel. Yeah, I always felt like blue checks were to verify if a business or a famous person was who they really was, not just anybody can get one if you pay for it.
