Z-Grade Movie Rebel Assault



Richard Harrison spent a lot time in Hong Kong and the Philippines in the 80's. Of course he spent a lot time in Italy in the 60's, doing bad spaghetti westerns and spy movies (he famously passed on the lead in A Fistful of Dollars). Ninja the Protector is one of LOTS of bad ninja movies that he made while trapped in Asia. I'm primarily interested in the box cover of this video nightmare, and not the actual movie so much. I only skimmed through the tape while it was ripping, but I don't believe the pictured combat motorcycles actually appear anywhere in the film. What a disappointment...

I uploaded the full cover scan and the side crop that you can use for an avatar.

On a side note, I feel that 20something gamerz [read: drink Ballz and watch G4 exclusively] who post on 4chan and use phrases like "epic fail" have ruined ninjas for the rest of us. Pirates as well. It makes me deeply unhappy. I suppose that I'll just have to be contented watching episodes of Felicity and Judging Amy edited together into two hour, multi-storyline tv movies.
