This 80s classic is a must see for all fans of action movies regardless of how cheesy it may seem.
Multicolored ninjas, throwing stars, lasers, bodybuilder buddy, motorcycles and machine guns. Top quality, bottom rung ridiculousness. Joy!
Action movie with ridiculous premise. Watch it to hang out & laugh at it.
I give it a 4/10 for nostalgic reasons. It really is a dumpster fire of a film.
An action classic. If you love 80s action movies this is a must see.
A bit of violence from time to time doesn’t hurt anyone.
Pure '80s cheesy entertainment.
Classic Canon Ninja goodness
Cheap but likable
Horrible
