Groping Ninja is a curious entry in the pink film genre, directed by Satoru Kobayashi. It unfolds with a mix of playful absurdity and risqué moments that tiptoe around societal norms, creating an atmosphere that's both cheeky and a bit provocative. The pacing feels off-kilter at times, which oddly adds to its charm. Performances are as much about physicality as they are about dialogue, with actors embracing their roles with a certain bravado. One can’t help but appreciate the practical effects that, while not polished, have a rawness that enhances the gritty feel of the film. It's distinctive for its blend of humor and adult themes, making it a particular oddity in the pink cinema landscape of its era.
Groping Ninja has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, with few quality releases available. The film originally surfaced in the early '80s, but finding it now, especially in decent condition, can be a challenge. Its niche status as a pink film adds to its allure for collectors, who appreciate its distinct tone and style. There’s a certain excitement around discussing it among enthusiasts, as it's a piece of cinema that straddles the line between art and exploitation.
