Ah, yes, The Ninja Squad. A Chinese movie filmed in the Philippines about Japanese ninjas played by American actors where Crocodile Dundee dates Blanche Devereaux. It's a classic!
Ninja Police Chief: You’ve cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage with ZERO results! You’re a loose cannon McNinja! The city can’t take your renegade ways!!! Detective Ninja McNinja: It’s hard to get results with so much red tape Chief! Ninja Police Chief: I’ve got the Mayor breathing up my ass McNinja! Detective Ninja McNinja: Probably smells better than your breath chief. Ninja Police Chief: That’s it! You’re off the case McNinja! Hand in your headband with the word “Ninja” printed on it!
Poor Richard Harrison went from Spaghetti Westerns to Italian Crime movies. He did maybe one film with Godfrey Ho, which went on to become eighty movies with Godfrey Ho.
Every time the Ninja named Gordan shows his face Flash Gordan music should play. that gang is so poor they can't even afford chopsticks, they have to share a single metal spoon. their bandanas have dual purposes; They allow them to not be mistaken as Power Rangers or Liberace backup dancers and they also state their pronouns. That ninja's pronouns are Nin/Ja.
There is just something addicting, engrossing and hugely enjoyable about 'bad movies' from the 70's and 80's. I can never watch modern bad movies. They bore me to death, esp the thing that comes from Hollywood. Ninja movie made by the chinese with filipino actors, haha.
Ya gotta love the headbands with the word "Ninja" printed on them. You know, just in case you forgot...Which, in the case of this crap, you might well forget. That guy Godfrey Ho, what a crook! Oh, the Ninja headbands, yeah, you can pick those up at Spencer's gifts and novelties...If there's still any of those around.
He is king of somehow making shitty movies that came together like a masterpiece dude had some of the best stunt and fight people to ever work as stunt doubles in film and pretty much made a action highlight reel for multiple stunt and fight performers
Great to see you back on the Godfrey Ho! Hope you get around to Ninja In The Killing Field eventually. It makes so little sense that it hurts, but I want you to share my pain. And the ending provides some much needed laughter therapy!
The Godfrey Ho ninja films with the spliced in footage of Richard Harrison and Pierre Kirby are probably his cheesiest films. He made like 80 of them in 10 years, just remixing the same footage into new films. He made a few films with Cynthia Rothrock that are higher quality and have plots you can follow.

First... The Ninja headbands really makes this looks like kids play fighting with mall bought ninja weapons... Second... Was that a Filipino movie stitched in? 😅
I actually saw one of these movies at the Alamo Drafthouse, thinking I was gonna see "Blood Debts". When one of the employees introduced the film and mentioned how Godfrey Ho's movies all recycled footage, I knew I had made a huge error. For all the fight scenes the movie had, I actually fell asleep halfway through it, despite sitting in the front row. But hey, at least I got to see the infamous "Garfield phone" scene (and all the talk about the ninja empire) in the theater. Sad thing is, another one of these movies where Harrison didn't play a ninja had him doing his own fight scenes/stunts and he's actually pretty good for a guy in his 50's. Would've easily given Charles Bronson a run for his money back then.
Making a new title for this movie ... Gordon: The Pink Ninja - The Totally Inconspicuous Assassin This movie isn't even "so cringy it's good", it is just crap all the way through. Rumour has it, that bad guy is still counting to this day. Thanks for adding it to your reviews!
Asian lady speaking with the accent of a southern bell this is why Godfrey is so high on my list of favorite shit cinema directors his choice in dubbing teams
You can tell he's a professional ninja because he's wearing the traditional fuchia with blue detailed whiet over coat ninja yoroi! The headband is just to help lameos who don't know all that technical stuff!
Ah...The famous White, silver and Lilac Ninja. From the late Edo period when the peasant assasins had learnt silver, white and lilac was the best camouflage for their covert operations in the deep of night.
You definitely need to do a review on the flying guillotine movie.... pretty please 🥺👍. It will be hilarious , especially for people that have never heard of it or know what the movie is.
The video we went to, you had to go down into a shop cellar and to this day I'm still trying to find and figure out some of the obscure horrors I watched. There were so many odd films on VHS.
@@RedEyeReviews Hee hee, it's a ride, that's for sure, especially when you follow the Richard Harrison branch of it and find the Silver Star series of even lower budget action schlock. Check em out if you want to see how bad it can get :P
So the footage he bought to make this movie is definitely NOT China. However, the story that he is telling takes place in China. I probably should have explained that lol
Um, actually... The actual martial artists in this movie are very obviously Chinese stylists. Everything from the weapons to the way they move are distinctly and unmistakably Chinese. Ninja are, ostensibly, Japanese
A Chinese movie using scenes from a Filipino gangster movie and edited together to make a NINJA movie...using 40 year old white dudes as Ninjas and dubbed using Australian and southern belle accents. Wow...
Call me crazy but those action scenes are better than some modern Hollywood movies. Come to think of it, so is the rest of the movie. Not bad for a film who's budget is whatever they could scrounge up on the morning of shooting.
@@RedEyeReviews I think I seen it twice and I honestly don't remember any of it, definition of forgettable. Ninja headbands though, that stick's with ya

Eight Films.
Blood Debts is awesome. Scorpion Thunderbolt is pretty good.

Little Bruno Mars LOL
But you missed a golden opportunity to point out Chinese Fred Sanford at 14:51
Haha you nailed it! Redd Foxx would be proud
This movie doesn't have Steven Seagal in it, how is it the worst movie ever?
Are you a ninja? That's what it says on my headband isn't it?
Welcome to Godfrey Ho's universe.
"I seem to be getting a lot of questions about being a ninja that are already answered by the headband"

Ah yes, Godfrey Ho. What a legend. I remember Shitcase Cinema reviewed some of his films. Ninja Terminator is a classic.
He is king of somehow making shitty movies that came together like a masterpiece dude had some of the best stunt and fight people to ever work as stunt doubles in film and pretty much made a action highlight reel for multiple stunt and fight performers
SUSAN!
@@JustJohnny We're looking for SUSAN!!!
The Tashman....YOU GOOOOON!!!!!
Those head bandanas are legit ninja bandanas
pretty sure those sick headbands were available at most July 4th carnivals in the 80s and 90s
Those and Def Leppard coke mirrors…. also, feathered roach clips.
The Billy part looks suspiciously similar to a certain Filipino movie I know 😂😂😂
@13:35 That dude in red looks similar to Max Alvarado lmaooo
Yes it's actually filmed in the philippines those men drinking outside is so pinoy culture.
Great to see you back on the Godfrey Ho! Hope you get around to Ninja In The Killing Field eventually. It makes so little sense that it hurts, but I want you to share my pain. And the ending provides some much needed laughter therapy!
The headbands say "Ninja", just in case you forget... Kinda like a Sheriff's badge. Makes sense. 😂
Did they actually use the same damn font on both headbands in your thumbnail!? Couldn't watch the video neither the movie
Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Copolla, Quentin Tarantino, Godfrey Ho. All in the same boat of greatness!
U just got them in wrong order and Godfrey should be top
Forget the martial arts and swordfighting, I wanna be a ninja for the backflip teleportation.

"Look Gordon you said these Ninja and Nin-ja headbands would sell...!!!"
"I got an idea" ,said Gordon

Imagine if the headband plot from Afro samurai was a snipet from this 🤣🤣🤣
Yay. Just got home from work. So happy to have a new RedEye video to relax and unwind to. Love you redeye!
Those ninja costumes are what kids would wear in the 80s-90s while trick or treating on Halloween! Great job to the costume designers on this film...😄
Both the commentary and movie was hilarious. Nice work :)

did they order extra large prop guns or extra small prop gun holders?
Does this mean we're going to get some Pierre Kirby movies? There's nothing better than a team up of Pierre Kirby and Godrey Ho.
You are very quickly becoming my favourite channel.....hilarious dude x
Great to see you back and well. Now can you please do BvS and MoS.
Without her mask, the pink Power Ranger gives a very different vibe.
I was thinking their whole outfits gave Power Ranger vibes 🤣🤣🤣
Hey, getting close to Pierre Kirby movies, alright.
I'd love to have RedEye cover the Pierre Kirby films. The Cinema Snob made them legendary.
Bro, I don't care what anybody says, this movie is a masterpiece!
100%
"He's a master of making his sword go swoosh!"...😂
Let's do that introduction with properly applied sarcastic quotes.
"The Ninja Squad" is a "1986" movie "directed" by "Godfrey Ho."
This is a philippine movie titled kumander .45 (Commander .45).
Do you think at the camp ground people watching them just thought they were really big rich kids making a nin Ja home movie?
Making a new title for this movie ... Gordon: The Pink Ninja - The Totally Inconspicuous Assassin

I love your appearance on final guys.
Omg ty redeye❤😂

This movie comes in a double feature pack with Raw Force. A jewel in my collection of terrible movies.
Ninja Squad. A Bonafide classic in everyone DVD collection around the 2000's in the UK
If it was a Christmas movie would it have been directed by Godfrey Ho Ho Ho?
1:25. Teka muna. Parang napanood ko na 'to, ah. Bakit iba ang boses nila?

Nine Inch Nails advertising with the headband
The worst?
Sir! Sir...I believe you mean the best.
I recon Mortal Kombat's Scorpion and Subzero costumes were also inspired by this movie.
These movies were made for the video rentals and boy did we love them! Every weekend we got blown away with movies like this one.

collecting headbands! seems to me like Afro Samurai
NOT THE NINJA WOODFIRE AD 💀
You're not a real ninja if it doesn't say ninja on your headband. And, it has to be written in English.
Luck there, headbands had ninja written on them. Otherwise, I would have been lost
*NINJA* headbands xD omg
I've never seen a bad ninja movie. Some of them just make you laugh, unintentionally so or not.

Fun fact, where I live in Australia has a huge chinese community so his trip to Australia is not that crazy.
