The sequel you've never seen... to the film you've never seen... that started the Ninja Craze you wish still existed! Yes, it is every bit as glorious as it sounds.
Generation X... We were the Self Raised Lock Turn Key Kids... Cannon Films was like our Video Store Uncle telling us about Chuck Norris, Charles Bronson, Sho Kosugi, Jean-Claude Van Damme & Break Dancing LOL amongst Many other fun things... May the Memories of Cannon Live Forever!
No, it's actually called a near miss; I was uncertain and just looked it up. "OSHA provides the following definition of a near miss in an Accident Investigation Fact Sheet: …incidents where no property was damaged and no personal injury sustained, but where, given a slight shift in time or position, damage and/or injury easily could have occurred." www.plantservices.com/articles/2010/06nearmiss/
i used to work in a costume store and I still see little kids dress up as ninjas, hell, even some girls, and not as a backup costume, they specifically ask for it. I'm surprised that ninjas haven't made a full fledged comeback.
Razorfist, can you basically just do a Cannon Films marathon? I mean. I just fucking love them so much and you seem to have a huge appreciation for the stuff too. PLEASE? lolol
It was *_OFFNESIVE!_* It was *_HILARIOUS!_* It was *_AWESOME!_* I was a teenage ninja in the '80s and _Sho Kosugi was my hero!_ Thank you for for this! I will immediately _not_ illegally download it!
I was a kid when Enter and Revenge of the Ninja, and Ninja 3 came out. These movies were FUCKING HUGE. I must have rented them a zillion times. Managed to find them all on DVD decades later and love them still.., lots of memories.
So I have binge watched these reviews and seen most of the films on here, some due to your reviews which are an absolute joy to watch. I just gotta say that dude in the cowboy hat with the feather has got to be the most flamboyant inner city gangster I have ever seen in any film.
Hey Razor this is off topic but, I just want to say thanks for igniting my love of 80s heavy metal bands like Judas Priest, Grim Reaper, and kickass guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteem. I never knew i would love 80s heavy metal before I subscribed to you, but after watching your Metal Mythos series of videos i have a newfound love for the genre. Thank you and GOD FUCKING SPEEEED RAZORFIST!!
SAVikingSA I found a blog about cult movies once, the writer was a huge fan of it. Guess that makes three of us, which is a shame because it's a pretty good example of what's great about 80's action movies, even if it forgets it's a comic book film at times.
I would love if it were both. I just think it errs on the side of caution and values vaguely plausible Yakuza and Mafia mooks over exaggerated, comic book villains, resulting in a more realistic (!) film. The balance just feels off.
You know, normally I'd feel compelled to speak in defense of MMA, which I know you aren't a fan of, and use my own experience as a fan and someone who has seen the sport live and grapples every week, but honestly, with the WWE-esque bullshit the UFC engages in these days, I really don't feel like they deserve it. I'll simply leave you with the recommendation that you look into a magical entity that started in 1997 and came to an end a decade ago called Pride Fighting Championships, which combines much of the pageantry and showmanship of pro wrestling with real fights, and adds in the batshit lunacy of Japan to make it truly memorable. Incidentally, due to its pro wrestling origins, there's a lot more concrete evidence of actual worked fights in Pride, but that doesn't take away from its greatness when it was legit. And with regards to the review itself, I must thank you for another superb entry in the Rageaholic Cinema and sincerely hope that more of the distilled essence of excellence that is Cannon Films finds its way on here in the future. Might I be so bold as to humbly request a review of Bloodsport? In any event, keep having the most awesome channel on CZcams, sir. God fucking Speed!
Holy shit, an MMA fan who actively acknowledges the influence of pro-wrestling on the sport. You sir deserve a round of shots. While you're at it try looking at UWF and it's reboot UWF-I. It's a Japanese promotion from the mid-80s formed by wrestlers who wanted to give the most realistic worked fights they possibly could. The result was that they wound up creating what was ostensibly the first MMA promotion. Some really interesting shit, even if most of it falls into that gray area where it's too worked for MMA fans and too low-flash for wrestling fans.
+Mbk606 I certainly do enjoy the more grappling-centric, realistic Japanese style of pro wrestling, and it's impact on MMA can't be understated. Guys like Funaki, Suzuki, and Tamura all have their roots as pro wrestlers, and they all went on to have prolific MMA careers. In fact, the reason I got into the sport in the first place was because of Ken Shamrock, who I recognized from his WWF days, and who has his roots in Japanese pro wrestling as well. Most of those original Pancrase fighters have that as their roots, and I do love watching those old fights, even the worked ones. Sakuraba also had that as his background, and look how legendary his career is. My big problem with today's UFC, however, is them trying to ape the most insipid, idiotic things about the WWE. From the very insistent promotion of idiots like Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor for their most superficial aspects, to the pandering to casuals who care more about what's said at a press conference than the actual fights, it all just turns me off, and it effects their matchmaking as well. An organization like Pride did it right, with their elaborate stage designs, ridiculous backstage skits, and crazy entrances. The UFC just looks to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Mbk606 you kind of have to. I love MMA, I enjoy UFC and Bellator among other promotions, but you'd be ignorant to say the UFC isn't taking more and more of a WWE-like mindset and have been for quite a bit. I do enjoy the trash talk a lot of the time, but the rankings should be dictating the fights save for matchups that are personal or people are clamming for, and that's only if it's reasonable. what's going now is entertaining in its own way I guess... but I'm not sure I'm thrilled with the direction it's heading.
Cory Goodman We've definitely come a long way from the days of Fedor, Nogueira, and Cro Cop all fighting each other in title fights. Now, everyone wants to sit around and name who they want to fight after becoming champions, instead of fighting the best challenger. I get wanting to get paid more, but they also want no part of actually risking their championship status. Look at McGregor, who has never defended a belt in the UFC and looks like he never will. Look at Bisping, wanting to fight GSP instead of any actual middleweight contender. It's really sickening as a fan of the sport.
here’s a fun fact, both of Shõ Kousgi son’s appeared in this movie: Kane Kosugi played the part of Short Round and Shane Kosugi play the part of the son who took a shuriken to the face (1:54 into the review).
i love this film and i love fun facts! the kosugi sons are such nice boys! I took a test prep class with one of them back in the 90s. He was so cute !!!!!
I remember these when they came out..(I was born in 76) .The video rental craze was full on...My parents used to let me rent this stuff...I was a huge fan of the "Ninja Trilogy"...Got reacquainted with these much later (they were hard as hell to find on DVD)...I still love them, especially Revenge of the Ninja...Sho Kosugi was my fave back then...EVERYTHING was ninja back then...
I love that after he get out of the hottub the main character starts backfliping away, and not to be outdone. The Guy chasing him starts backflipping too!
This is why I love this channel! I'm a child of the 80's and ninjas were so popular back then, they actually had ninja magazines on the shelves in supermarkets and this review captures the spirit of those movies perfectly (I'd love a review of American Ninja). I would use this video to demonstrate why this is my favorite channel on CZcams: hilarious, creative, intelligent, and memorable...keep them coming Razor, fantastic work and great editing by Terran...as usual!
"Tokyo, Japan." I'm sorry is this supposed to be the 1980's or the 1880's? Because there's a bit less concrete and steel in that scene than I would expect to see In Tokyo.
I saw this at 13 on late night satellite tv at my friend's house. It was awesome. I still remember the first thing I ever saw from it. Spitting caltrops in a dude's face.
Sho Kousgi and Sonny Chiba are my favorite Oriental action stars of all time after Bruce Lee putting his stamp on the Asian action star in the popular main stream during his time. They can literally make you believe that they can punch through people and tear them up with their own bare hands.
I was watching this while walking into the kitchen and then he goes "synthesizers and fucking death!" As my grandma heard....... Thanks razor i had a nice time explaining that one 🤣
This movie MADE ME, actually made me go out and buy as many chinese stars as I could...and ultimately destroy my parents backyard fence with my singular devotion to that ancient art. Great film, high cheese content...
YES! Stumbling upon these gems of the interwebs years too late, but DAMN! These were MY movies! I saw this in the actual theater! Little known fact of the 80s, there were ninjas everywhere...
So this was Ninja Gaiden movie? Sweet and people says that you can't make a good videogame movie. Now can you make a Rageaholic about highlander or hard boiled?
I was appreciating the legs of this film blonde, when I noticed I recognised her from somewhere: she is Ashley Ferrare and she was in Cyclone along with Deep Space Nine's Weyoun, the great Jeffrey Combs.
Good to see this movie get some recognition. RotN is basically the movie that plays in your head when you hear or even think about the words "ninja" and "movies" in sequence.
This is the best ninja movie ever made. I was fortunate enough to grow up during this time. Had ninja suits and weapons and we used to run the streets at night in full gear having ninja wars with smoke bombs made of baby powder. Oh the days when unthought ninjas were real and wanted to be one when I grew up. Lol
Your timing and delivery in this video is superb. I may not always agree with you on stuff you say, but you stay consistently entertaining throughout everything you do because of your delivery. It also helps that you seem to give a fuck about what you produce. Long winded way of me saying thanks for making videos on youtube. Days are less boring as a result.
Ole Sho Kosugi ,one of my 1980s Heroes as a 14 year old kid...bought this on video ...started me on my quest to become a Ninja...which ended about 5 years later when I discovered the pub !
Thanks man. I love your movie reviews. I grew up watching Sho ninja movies, thanks for kick starting my memory's . Staying up all night playing Nintendo and watching 80's action and horror movies.
Still got this on bootleg VHS with "Ninja III: The Domination" .Great 80's flicks.And the beats,man,the beats...Rip them on mp3 and on my phone for ringing tone.
That "never give the Japanese the element of surprise" joke was fantastic.
The "Ted Nugent's Worst Nightmare" joke was on point too🤣
And like Ted!
As a child in the 80s, I think I watched every Cannon Films movie. I think I enjoyed them because of the cheese, not in spite of it.
Same here...video stores were a magical place. Cannon was a big part of my childhood.
Generation X... We were the Self Raised Lock Turn Key Kids... Cannon Films was like our Video Store Uncle telling us about Chuck Norris, Charles Bronson, Sho Kosugi, Jean-Claude Van Damme & Break Dancing LOL amongst Many other fun things... May the Memories of Cannon Live Forever!
Damned straight, me too.
And golan globus
It was definitely not cheese back then, it was just purely awesome to every Gen X and early Millennial!
"Tokyo, Japan."
Just in case you confused it with Tokyo, New Jersey.
Except that it shows the Golden Pavilion which is famously in Kyoto, not Tokyo.
@@Aethgeir Same thing, just flip the letters around.
*Revenge of the Ninja* (1983) is a truly kick-ass classic ninja movie, definitely one of the best!
I have just been made aware of a movie where "Hey look! Superman" actually works. What a time to be alive XDXDXDXD
The only way that could have been better is if Superman had actually shown up and went Mortal Kombat on the guy.
When Sho dragged on the back of that van to the point where his legs were bleeding, 6 year old me was sold. Dude's a badass.
"More bodies than a Chinese cemetery"
A joke in 2017; a reality in 2020.
A hoax in 2023
don't drink while watching Razorfist.....it's fatal to your electronics.
Yeah, good advice - I just had a near miss.
same. fucking ninja grannie lol
You mean a near hit.
No, it's actually called a near miss; I was uncertain and just looked it up.
"OSHA provides the following definition of a near miss in an Accident Investigation Fact Sheet:
…incidents where no property was damaged and no personal injury sustained, but where, given a slight shift in time or position, damage and/or injury easily could have occurred."
www.plantservices.com/articles/2010/06nearmiss/
Some one doesn't watch george carlin
You showed me Dirty Harry, and I wasn't disappointed.
Now you've shown me this. I'm instantly sold.
i used to work in a costume store and I still see little kids dress up as ninjas, hell, even some girls, and not as a backup costume, they specifically ask for it. I'm surprised that ninjas haven't made a full fledged comeback.
Well, they're not as popular in their pure form today as they were even twenty years ago, but ninjas were never "not cool."
They made a comeback. You just didn't see them.
God I need this film. the old lady fighting scene Is so ridiculous
Dog Yamato also find a copy of Tongan Ninja. He's the Tongan Ninja because he's a ninja from Tonga - actual film line.
Dog Yamato
It’s now available on Amazon Prime!
What a gruesome death scene. I couldn't sleep for weeks after seeing this and I was only 8!
She's one kick-ass ninja grandma!
Ridiculous or 80's?
I remember seeing this as a kid on cinemax,and was blown away by. it, that part with him blowing the blades in the dudes face freaking blew my mind.
Razorfist, can you basically just do a Cannon Films marathon? I mean. I just fucking love them so much and you seem to have a huge appreciation for the stuff too. PLEASE? lolol
It was *_OFFNESIVE!_* It was *_HILARIOUS!_* It was *_AWESOME!_*
I was a teenage ninja in the '80s and _Sho Kosugi was my hero!_
Thank you for for this! I will immediately _not_ illegally download it!
I love The Octagon. Me and my dad used to watch it when I was a kid. Ah nostalgia
This review had me dying. I just about blew a gasket at the mention of "Mad Gear" gang. Props for not making a Village People joke.
I remember going to the drive in with my best friend and dad to watch Chuck Norris in the Octagon. Still love that movie.
That swerve where Sho Kosugi finds out his "friend" is a ninja, was of Vince Russo epic proportions :)
Sho Kousgi the original ninja master
You should see his sons doing the Ninja franchise.
Kyō haha kusosupīdo
Finally another cinema.
I was a kid when Enter and Revenge of the Ninja, and Ninja 3 came out. These movies were FUCKING HUGE. I must have rented them a zillion times. Managed to find them all on DVD decades later and love them still.., lots of memories.
HELL YES.
Great, over the top 80's action AND Battle Beast as the closing bumper? I'm sold.
Sho Kosugi is legendary, the first movie I saw him in was Pray For Death and he blew me away.
"Behold; Ted Nugent's worst nightmare."
Aside from actually getting drafted and sent to 'nam right after shitting himself.
[rimshot]
So I have binge watched these reviews and seen most of the films on here, some due to your reviews which are an absolute joy to watch. I just gotta say that dude in the cowboy hat with the feather has got to be the most flamboyant inner city gangster I have ever seen in any film.
Finally! The wait was worth it, this is one of my all-time favorite movies. Thanks Razor, and keep the 80's cinematic magic flowing!
Eff yes! watched it 50 times as a kid. Amazing soundtrack. Sho Kosugi OG
Hey Razor this is off topic but, I just want to say thanks for igniting my love of 80s heavy metal bands like Judas Priest, Grim Reaper, and kickass guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteem. I never knew i would love 80s heavy metal before I subscribed to you, but after watching your Metal Mythos series of videos i have a newfound love for the genre. Thank you and GOD FUCKING SPEEEED RAZORFIST!!
"With that, they head to the-- *WHEEEEEN* THE _FUCK_ DID NIGHTWOLF JOIN THE MAFIA?!"
And he has a stereotypical tomahawk when in the other scene he doesn't have it then he does .after they all flew through the windshield
YEAH!!! but, we didn't dress like that in the '80's
NightWolf was best member of the mafia
I'm hankerin' for a Demolition Man review next.
What are the odds of a Punisher '89 review?
Maybe a retrospective leading up to the release of the Netflix series?
War Zone is great
Jacob, I think you and I are the only two people who have ever seen that movie.
SAVikingSA I found a blog about cult movies once, the writer was a huge fan of it. Guess that makes three of us, which is a shame because it's a pretty good example of what's great about 80's action movies, even if it forgets it's a comic book film at times.
I would love if it were both. I just think it errs on the side of caution and values vaguely plausible Yakuza and Mafia mooks over exaggerated, comic book villains, resulting in a more realistic (!) film. The balance just feels off.
this was so fantastic
I grew up on American Ninja flicks. Brings back the memories.
When I was a kid watching this I thought the gangsters were mad at him for breaking the doll.

its sad to see conor mcgregor hold 2 divisions and ufc hostage because he is waiting for the mayweather fight that might never happen.
Can you imagine the shitstorm that would ensue if this was released today? hahaha
alucard624: The only thing difficult about imaging that scenario is hiding how excited I'd be to see it.
De Luth Sure fire way to explode some SJW heads.
That would make me want to see it more.
13:26 No 80's action is complete without an interracial street gang.
Ninjutsu involves way more hot tubs than I had been led to believe
Glad you included those clips from the Cannon Films documentary. That was a very entertaining documentary.
I just discovered your channel and seeing a review of this movie made me fall in love
"What are you? Some kinda kid or something."
Good to see the rule of Ninjas applies here. When it's a single ninja vs a group, the group sands no chance.
sho kosugi was the true lord and master of my local video store back in the day
Wow... I haven't seen this movie in ages. Now I want desperately to see this movie again. I loved this movie. Ninjas were amazing!
Loved Sho Kosugi and those movies as a kid in the 80s. Hella campy tho
here’s a fun fact, both of Shõ Kousgi son’s appeared in this movie:
Kane Kosugi played the part of Short Round and
Shane Kosugi play the part of the son who took a shuriken to the face (1:54 into the review).
i love this film and i love fun facts! the kosugi sons are such nice boys! I took a test prep class with one of them back in the 90s. He was so cute !!!!!
Just ordered this movie. Damn I miss the ‘80’s sometimes
Mother of god a 20 min rageaholic film review i think my nads just launched into low level orbit.
Goddammit this channel is a hidden Gem. \M/
Good thing I found it
I remember these when they came out..(I was born in 76) .The video rental craze was full on...My parents used to let me rent this stuff...I was a huge fan of the "Ninja Trilogy"...Got reacquainted with these much later (they were hard as hell to find on DVD)...I still love them, especially Revenge of the Ninja...Sho Kosugi was my fave back then...EVERYTHING was ninja back then...
dude that was nutz i havent laughed like that in a while great job
I love that after he get out of the hottub the main character starts backfliping away, and not to be outdone. The Guy chasing him starts backflipping too!
I grew up watching Sho Kosugi & his sons in the 80's. Awesome movies. I think I watched every Cannon film group film back then.

One of my favorite movies when I was a kid. Can still quote it from memory.
18:58 20 bucks says that kid relives that memory when he turns 13
Mad Gear gang, perfect description. LOL
Gotta watch out for those Party City ninjas. Also Hatori Heroine.
The Hunted the Christopher Lambert ultra slaughter fest awaits your review.
Grew up with this movie. LOVE. IT.
"Tokyo, Japan." I'm sorry is this supposed to be the 1980's or the 1880's? Because there's a bit less concrete and steel in that scene than I would expect to see In Tokyo.
Because its actually Kyoto
I saw this at 13 on late night satellite tv at my friend's house. It was awesome. I still remember the first thing I ever saw from it. Spitting caltrops in a dude's face.
Sho Kousgi and Sonny Chiba are my favorite Oriental action stars of all time after Bruce Lee putting his stamp on the Asian action star in the popular main stream during his time. They can literally make you believe that they can punch through people and tear them up with their own bare hands.
One of my favorite movies when I was a kid.
I was watching this while walking into the kitchen and then he goes "synthesizers and fucking death!" As my grandma heard.......
Thanks razor i had a nice time explaining that one 🤣
I saw this movie as a teenager and it was f*cking awesome!
I saw this in the original theatrical release. It was an epic movie!
I remember this movie. This and american ninja were my favorites
Holy poopoo! Who tapped into my 1980s childhood? Who Kosugi was classic movie kickass!
Aside from American Ninja, this was how I thought ninjas should look and fight when I was a kid. This was my favorite ninja movie back then.
still waiting for Conan: The Barbarian(1982)
Dude why can't you do 1 of these 80's movie reviews every day??? I need it.
thank you Xenu! been waiting with great anxiety for a new rageaholic cinema.
The dude in the denim jacket in the background just yelling c'mon c'mon c'mon always shat me.
This movie was alot of fun. Extremely campy and the fight choreography was excellent. Solid recommendation.
"Short Round has a short fuse"
This movie embodies all the tropes of those great 80's ninja movies in the best possible way.
love this movie...watched it a million times when I was kid ...and at least 1-2x yr now
Jesus H Fucking Christ! These are greatest videos. Metal mythos, music mythos, rageaholic cinema are the best videos. I can’t stop watching these!
NINJAS!!!!!!!
*edit* Octagon... Please... Needs must occur.
This movie MADE ME, actually made me go out and buy as many chinese stars as I could...and ultimately destroy my parents backyard fence with my singular devotion to that ancient art. Great film, high cheese content...
YES! Stumbling upon these gems of the interwebs years too late, but DAMN! These were MY movies! I saw this in the actual theater! Little known fact of the 80s, there were ninjas everywhere...
It's been a while since you've done this kind of video. Glad to see them back.
So this was Ninja Gaiden movie? Sweet and people says that you can't make a good videogame movie.
Now can you make a Rageaholic about highlander or hard boiled?
It was a glorious time to be a kid in the 80's during the ninja fad.
I was appreciating the legs of this film blonde, when I noticed I recognised her from somewhere: she is Ashley Ferrare and she was in Cyclone along with Deep Space Nine's Weyoun, the great Jeffrey Combs.
I randomly found this movie about 4 years ago on youtube. It was the best surprise b-movie i ever discovered.
I watched this video so many times as an 80s youth!
That mob boss looks just like that yellow guy in "Sin City".
Razor, your cinema reviews are the very best on CZcams. They never disappoint and I always rewatch.
Good to see this movie get some recognition. RotN is basically the movie that plays in your head when you hear or even think about the words "ninja" and "movies" in sequence.
I've missed Rageaholic Cinema. Thank you.
This is the best ninja movie ever made. I was fortunate enough to grow up during this time.

16:18 *wu-TAAAANG*
I loved this movie when I was a kid. I haven't seen it since about 1990 or so. Soooo funny to see this years later.
This movie was phenomenal checked it out and the rest of the trilogy. Great stuff especially Ninja 3.
Ole Sho Kosugi ,one of my 1980s Heroes as a 14 year old kid...bought this on video ...started me on my quest to become a Ninja...which ended about 5 years later when I discovered the pub !
Thanks man. I love your movie reviews. I grew up watching Sho ninja movies, thanks for kick starting my memory's . Staying up all night playing Nintendo and watching 80's action and horror movies.
Ninja's and bad ass action movies of the 80's give me more FUCK YEAH !
12:00 WOAH she got lo-panned and just shrugs it off, hardcore!
Still got this on bootleg VHS with "Ninja III: The Domination" .Great 80's flicks.And the beats,man,the beats...Rip them on mp3 and on my phone for ringing tone.
