This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Let it be known that I simply love martial arts movies. Anything with ninjas, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Steven Seagal and of course Chuck Norris. Yes, growing up I watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... the originals made in the 80s no less! And yes, I stood in line and sat in theaters to watch their films. A craze overtook American in the 80s, Ninja Fever. And in the midst of that period, this television series emerged. *Sigh* Sadly, it's not all that good. Like most series that don't do well, in a desperate move the makers slammed two pilots together and released it as a movie called MASTER NINJA. And that is where MST3K entered the picture. Their comments are brilliant as we watch the annoying, whining Timothy Van Patten (anyone notice his little lisp?) and Lee Van Cleef (wasted in the role) battle it out with ninjas, corporate monsters and share unfunny banter. Also in the first half, look for a young gravelly-voiced Demi Moore. A lot of the special martial arts stuff is so fake and it's obvious that Lee Van Cleef had stunt doubles. Plus the storyline is so incoherent that things soon get confusing. So what is there to like? Henry, the hamster! He's so darn cute!! Only see this if you want a good laugh, in the company of Mike and the Bots, or your own brood!

I remembered that show from when I was a small kid. After each episodes, some friends and I played ninja outside in the woods near their house.I remembered key scenes like when The Master plays dead on the hotel room floor and I remembered Max's van.I recently got the series on DVD from Ebay. What a ride! It was as I remembered. A great show full of adventures. Typical of many shows from the 80's it involved the heroes dropping on some trouble or someone in danger in a random town...If you have the 80's nostalgia or are a ninja movie fan, I recommend seeing this show.

This was good. Lee Van Cleef was very and Van Patten was good.The one with a very young Demi Moore was exciting. This was an excellent ninja show!If you like ninjas and are able to watch it and haven't yet do so because its good!

i must say, the action sequences in this had me laughing. Did Van Cleef really have to break the slot machines, bar glasses, and roof support to prove his point? Plus, seeing Demi Moore in this humiliating story was great. Van Patten has the martial nuances of Jeff Speakman. I just waited for the end of this watch us walk on jump ropes horrid tale of boredom, lunacy, and pure gibberish!
