On this episode of the podcast, Cannon time!
Enter the Ninja is a silly 80s exploitation/martial arts filmed in, where else? The Philippines! Because of course it is. That was a very cheap place to film back in the day, and is the geographical backdrop for many a cult classic.
And there’s a fun genre cast including Django’s Franco Nero, but also the Italian horror staple, Christopher George.
When a couple of plantation landowners are harassed by a wealthy developer, the male half enlists an old war buddy to help – a man trained in the deadly arts of the ninja!
Soon, the white ninja is beating the holy tar out of every village barfly, and even kicking the crap out of a man with a hook for a hand, a very Bond-esque villain.
Tune in!
This week on the podcast, one of the more obscure films ever covered on the program: No Exit, AKA, Fatal Combat.
