SKATETOWN USA dvd – an insanely CHEEEESY!!! movie. 1979, starring scott baio, patrick swayze, maureen mckormick, misc people like the UNKNOWN COMIC performs as well as Murray langston has an acting part, and horshack from welcome back kotter. this movie is jaw dropping, it is so cheesy it is actually good! the premise; roller disco contest, patrick swayze is “ACE” the switchblade carrying roller disco dancer gang member who rules the rink. i cannot go on enough about this movie, i was in awe from beginnig to end, its hilarious. think, “thank god its friday” in a roller rink with the strangest cast youll ever see. honestly and surprisingly this is actually a pretty good movie, and actually really funny. oh so 70’s though. this belongs in everyones collection! from 16mm print.

1971 movie RED SUN dvd Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune !! a samurai stuck in the old west, awesome!

1975 movie THE SAMURAI dvd this is a true spaghetti western unlike the above movie which is a high caliber western with bronson and “real” samurai with mifune, this movie is a low brow low budget italian made western. kind of like they call me bruce as a spaghetti western or something. bad bad bad.

1982 THE CHALLENGE dvd toshiro mifune scott glenn, classic!

1980 THE OCTAGON, the first american ninja movie? i think that is correct. certainly inspiration for some of the things sho kosugi does in enter the ninja. also the red ninja in this film was certainly inspiration for the ninja in the g.i.joe cartoon. i give this movie props for two reasons, it being the first american ninja movie, also the ninja all use properly curved swords, no imaginary “straight” bladed swords.

1981 ENTER THE NINJA dvd sho kosugi

1983 REVENGE OF THE NINJA dvd sho kosugi

2008 documentary SAMURAI the story of miyamoto musashi, the most famous samurai of all time, also famous for his two sword style, and legend has it was a ninja since he spent the first half of his life as a loan wandering outlaw.

1969 toshiro mifune samurai movie SHINSENGUMI; ASSASSINS OF HONOR

instructional video; SAMURAI SWORD TECHNIQUE vol 1 and 2

the movies that really started it all (for ninjas that is), the FULL 9 DVD SET!
………1962 black and white, japanese NINJA flick! all “SHINOBI NO MONO” movies 1 thru 9. movie 1 was made in 1962 thru to movie 9 made in 1970, OLD SCHOOL original ninja movies! credited as having made ninjas infamous. keep in mind these movies are based on ACTUAL historical events and figures, real ninjas, real ninja clans, and real battles. as well they dont feature a bunch of stupid camera tricks, mostly very well done, realistic sequences. high quality production, mature, not like a kids ninja movie, or an american ninja movie, more like a kurusawa samuari classic. english subtitles on all 9 movies.
………but wait i have many more ninja movies…..
the six movies below are from toei movies and are just like the shinobi series, as in well made, old school, ninja flicks, all highly recommended.
…………..THE RED SHADOW dvd 1961 toei
…………..SEVENTEEN NINJA dvd 1963 toei
…………..CASTLE OF OWLS dvd 1963 toei movie.
…………..SENGOKU YARO warring clans dvd 1963.
…………..THE THIRD NINJA dvd 1964 toei movie.
…………..THE NINJA HUNT dvd 1964 toei
………then an even earlier ninja movie called NINJA’S WEAPON dvd from 1956! this is actually in color and its more like “kung fu theatre” was, the ninja in this all have magic powers, lots of camera tricks, basically a fantasy movie, not like the shinobi or toei series.
………and another one like ninjas weapon, this one is from 1957 black and white and even more special effects, magic, and MORE special effects, called “NINJUTSU GOZEN-JIAI” dvd. there is actually more ninjas fighting with magic powers than with weapons in this one.
………then one from 1963 black and white, “KAGEMARU OF THE IGA CLAN” dvd, that falls in between the two above and the classics listed above them, its got lots of special effects etc, but its also got some good straight action and is overall pretty entertaining and solid.
…………..the next two are some later, but classics as well, although these two have a bit more “kung fu theatre” elements in them;
1980 sonny chiba classic SHOGUN’S NINJA dvd
1980 SHADOW WARRIORS the movie, which came before series and not even remotely similar to the series (below)
………lastly THE SHADOW WARRIORS tv series. a 1980 japanese tv series about ninjas 15/16th century starring Sonny Chiba as the legendary ninja Hattori Hanzo. its very well done, excellent story line, good acting. it has great sword fights in every episode. this is sort of the precursor to the american craze. it falls somewhere in between the shinobi classics and the american 80s movies, elements of both, the well done japanese style with just a little of the guilty pleasure american movies from the 80s. sho kusogi definitely borrowed elements from this series.
