Episode 5 - Enter the Ninja (1981)


Finally, after four episodes, we come to our first good film.

This was the movie that set off the ninja craze of the 1980s, and one watch of it easily shows why. From the same director as The Apple (stunning as that may be) comes a well directed and acted action movie with impressive choreography, stunts, and moments that epitomize the lighter atmosphere of 1980s films.

Enter the Ninja is the first of Cannon's ninja anthology trilogy, and their first action movie altogether. The surprise success of this film would define the future direction of the company. But before we get there, we have a few more lesser films to get through.

This isn't one of them, however. If you are a fan of ninja movies, action films, or 80s cinema in general, you need to see this film. It is a great watch. Check the podcast to see our full reactions.
