Ninja Dragon (1986)
5/10
So rubbish it's hilarious
23 July 2007
I don't know if this film was supposed to be hilarious, but it's certainly succeeded in being so. It's a poor martial arts film. Badly dubbed (sometimes English badly dubbed over in English!), awfully acted, rubbish storyline, gratuitous nudity, generally really dumb and clichéd, and it's the combination of all these things that makes the film an absolute classic. The lead actor, Richard Harrison, is far too old to be able to do the stunts that his character is doing, so in the fight scenes he's completely covered from head to toe! A masterstroke! I love the way one of the Chinese girls is called Fanny as well. Her name is said over and over as well. Highly amusing.

If they had tried to make this funny they wouldn't have been able to, due to the complete lack of talent in the team. This is a perfect so-crap-it's-funny movie, that could be enjoyed by anyone who likes to laugh at something rather than with something.

7/10 for reasons of enjoyment. 0/10 for quality (in other words - I could have done just as good myself!).
