The VHS Strikes Back

New York Ninja (1984/2021)


Listen Later

John Hammond has picked some classics in the past, and this week is no exception. And when we say classics, we mean movies that fit into the category of 'so bad they're good'. Originally shot in 1984, New York Ninja was never released after the distribution company went bust. But Vinegar Syndrome picked up the film, which had no audio or script to it, restored it digitally and added some serious B-Movie voice talent! Originally directed, written and starring John Liu, this one was "Re-Directed" by Kurtis M. Spieler and has the voices of Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Michael Berryman, Cynthia Rothrock, Linnea Quigley, Vince Murdocco, Matt Mitler, Leon Isaac Kennedy, and Ginger Lynn Allen.

Plot Summary:

In the heart of New York City, a shadowy crime syndicate has been wreaking havoc, leaving the citizens paralyzed with fear. Amidst the chaos, an enigmatic figure emerges to protect the innocent and restore justice to the city. He is the New York Ninja.

The story follows John, a mild-mannered janitor at a local community center, who witnesses a brutal attack on a group of innocent bystanders by the ruthless crime syndicate. Feeling compelled to act, John unveils his hidden martial arts skills and takes down the assailants, unknowingly becoming the city's vigilante hero, the New York Ninja.

As John continues his nightly missions, he begins to uncover the dark and intricate web of crime that has plagued New York City. Along the way, he forms an unlikely alliance with Lily, a tough-as-nails investigative journalist, and Sam, a street-smart kid with a heart of gold. Together, they become an unstoppable force against the criminal underworld.

As the New York Ninja gains notoriety, he attracts the attention of the syndicate's sinister leader, the enigmatic Mr. Black. Mr. Black is determined to eliminate the masked vigilante, viewing him as a threat to his empire. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues as the New York Ninja faces increasingly dangerous challenges, pushing him to his physical and emotional limits.

Throughout the thrilling action sequences, heartfelt moments, and unexpected twists, the New York Ninja grapples with his dual identity, torn between his desire to protect the city and the fear of his loved ones getting hurt. As the stakes escalate, the city's fate hangs in the balance.

In a climactic showdown atop a towering skyscraper, the New York Ninja faces off against Mr. Black and his elite henchmen. In this ultimate battle between good and evil, the city's destiny will be decided.

New York Ninja is an adrenaline-pumping action-packed adventure that showcases the power of determination, the resilience of the human spirit, and the strength of unity. It explores the complexities of heroism and the sacrifices one must make to protect the ones they love. As the sun rises over the city, a new legend is born, and New York will never be the same again.
