Ninja In The U. S. A. [uncut VHSrip] [widescreen]

About this film

Ninja USA (aka USA Ninja and Ninja In The USA ) is another entry into the cycle of ninja films made sometime in the mid-80s by Kuo-Ren Wu (here credited as Dennis Wu) with the ever-game Alexander Lou as the lead. If you’ve seen The Super Ninja or Wu-Tang Vs Ninja , you’ll know broadly the kind of messy but enthusiastic fun that’s to be had here. Fans of the Z-Movie will also get a kick out of the cast, which includes a rare performance (as the bad guy no less) from Sakura Killers legend George Nichols… If you’re a ninjologist, the first five minutes of Ninja USA will immediately set you at ease. You’ll know you’ve come to the right place and are accepted here. It’s five minutes of gratuitous mayhem as Alexander Lou, in some kind of chainmail-patterned ninja suit, duffs up several dozen black ninjas with an array of wicked stunts and tricks (including one bit where he slices up an entire tree for no reason beyond how cool it looks). These scenes bear little relevance to the plot but they’re exactly the kind of mindlessly glamorised violence that your parents, your teachers, Tipper Gore and pretty much every other authority figure in the 1980s warned you about. The body count’s highe…
