Enter the Ninja 1981  R, 94 min.
Genre: Action
Director: Menahem Golan
Cast: Franco Nero, Susan George, Sho Kosugi, Alex Courtney, Will Hare, Zachi Noy, Dale Ishimoto, Christopher George
In this, the first of a series of three films, Franco Nero and his rival Sho Kosugi go at it, with Christopher George thrown in to make it more fun. These films are pretty weak entries, especially compared to Bruce Lee flicks. "Revenge of the Ninja" and "Ninja III–The Domination" follow.

| | Anonymous 03/01/2012 | | This is a wonderful film. What a great way to talk about prejudice and learning and respect across cultures! We enjoyed it very much. |
| | Canadian movie fan 05/25/2011 | This is a very delightful movies: touching, amusing, very entertaining. I had to look it up to find out who played
Mr. Osano, but when I read it was Alec Guiness (what an actor!) I could see it certainly was that immensely talented
gentlemen. Coupled with the great Rosalind Russell, it sure is a treasure. |

 Ninja III: The Domination 1984 R, 95 min.
Genre: Action
Director: Sam Firstenberg
Cast: Sho Kosugi, Lucinda Dickey, Jordan Bennett, David Chung, Dale Ishimoto, James Hong, Bob Craig, Roy Padilla
This follow-up to "Revenge of the Ninja" is, hopefully, the last one and is probably the best of the lot. A bad Ninja is killed, but his spirit haunts Lucinda Dickey. Some pretty good action scenes.
