Ninja Fantasy

About This Movie

Ninja Fantasy is quite the curiosity from '86, blending elements of action with a hodgepodge of narrative chaos. You've got the drug dealing ninjas and CIA operatives, all wrapped in that delightful Z-grade sheen. The film uses footage from the Thai flick ตามฆ่า, which adds this strange layer of disjointedness. It's a wild ride with pacing that's all over the place, somehow both frenetic and slow, as if it can't decide what it wants to be. Practical effects are charmingly crude, and the performances are... well, let's just say they add to the overall absurdity. There's something about the way it mishandles its own plot that makes it stand out, a true testament to the DIY spirit of its time.

Unconventional narrative structure with disjointed themes · Curious blend of Thai footage and American ninja tropes · Charming practical effects that reflect its Z-grade status
