![]() ![]() The first 10 minutes or so of Enter the Ninja, where Cole undergoes his final Ninjutsu test, feature a few exciting moments, but are far from the film’s strongest along with the odd continuity issue (at one point, Cole fires a white arrow at an opponent, only to have it miraculously turn into a brown arrow in mid-flight), Nero looks uncomfortable in his ninja get-up (he certainly doesn’t move like a ninja). Venarius's orders to Hasagawa are simple: kill Cole using any means necessary, and as the experienced ninja already knows, the best way to get the upper hand on a guy like Cole is to threaten those closest to him. Parker (Constantine Gregory), hires his own Ninja, a man named Hasagawa (Sho Kosugi), who was Cole’s main adversary in Japan. So, the tycoon decides to fight fire with fire, and, with the help of his assistant Mr. Time and again, Frank and Mary Ann have refused to sell, causing Venarius to resort to extreme methods (including hired goons) to “persuade” them to change their minds.Īs Frank and Mary-Ann soon discover, having a trained Ninja around has its benefits, and before long Cole has Venarius’s thugs running for cover. As it turns out, Cole arrived just in the nick of time Frank and his pretty wife Mary-Ann (Susan George) are being harassed by wealthy American businessman Charles Venarius (Christopher George), who, for months now, has been trying to buy the couple’s farm. ![]() Well… it is strange, but aside from this (and a handful of other glitches), Enter the Ninja is a fairly effective ‘80s action film.Īfter completing his ninjutsu training in Japan, Cole (Nero) heads to the Philippines to visit to his old war buddy Frank Landers (Alex Courtney). Trivia: There is no spoken dialog in the first ten minutes of the filmįranco Nero, star of Django and other great Italian westerns, playing a Ninja?!? Sounds like a strange bit of casting, doesn’t it? ![]() Tag line: "Ninjitsu, the darkest and deadliest of all the Martial Arts" ![]() Starring: Franco Nero, Susan George, Shô Kosugi ![]()
