Ninja Thunderbolt was released on 1 January 1984. It is a Crime, Action film with a running time of 91 minutes. Produced in Hong Kong. Filmoria has been tracking Ninja Thunderbolt since its release, keeping this page updated with the latest cast, trailer and streaming details.
Filmoria's Take: Ratings are still coming in, so it is early days for audience reaction. It has had time to find its audience by now. Fits naturally alongside the other Crime titles on Filmoria.
If there’s a Mount Rushmore of so-bad-it’s-fun cinema, Godfrey Ho is etched into the granite with a katana. And his 1984 film Ninja Thunderbolt is one of his most gloriously incoherent offerings. Slashed together from various incomplete projects and a few scenes of stock footage, entire sequences are unwatchable, filmed in pitch blackness with ninjas flailing about in the dark. There is even a jarring detour into a ski resort chase, complete with abrupt costume changes and what may or may not be stock footage of a dance party. But I would be lying if I said I didn't have a good time watching at least a few parts of this movie. It’s a rickety roller coaster ride of action and unexpected comedy, including dope car chases with the world’s tiniest little triangle car. It’s such a fun feature for seasoned film fans and lovers of the obscure. For my full thoughts on this baffling classic, check out the complete review on RottenPop: https://rottenpop.substack.com/
