Ninja Terminator is quite possibly one of the worst films
that I have ever seen or ever will see. All the problems I have with the
Maltese Falcon pales into insignificance compared to Ninja Terminator. The plot
and I use that word loosely is that three parts of a statue are split up and
have people are after all three parts. What happens is a mess of a film, well
technically two films because it’s clear that at least two films have been
blurred together to make it. As nothing actually makes sense it’s down to the
martial arts sequences to save the film but considering this is the only thing
in the movie that works what we get are several very prolonged sequences which
after a while get a little bit boring.
There are too many things that are truly mad to mention but
the idea of a little transformers robot causing any terror is a stupid idea and
all you can do is really laugh but it does make you wonder what was going on in
Godfrey Ho’s mind that he thought people would find this dramatic. You cant use
the classic excuse which is that it’s the 80’s. Richard Harrison seems to have
more fun with him Garfield cat than anything else. Random people turn up with
at times dodgy blond wigs and nothing makes any sense.
As dodgy as the acting is the directing is truly appauling.
There are several moments where the camera cuts off people and then slowly pans
back to get the right number of people. There have been instances where people
are talking but all we see are the people they are talking to. Ninja Terminator
has to be seen to be believed. These films effectively ruined Harrison’s career
but to end up in these sort of movies implies that he didn’t really have a
career.
