you know and after the first few chuck norris movie and i get so i could tell that a movie be produce by golan globus even if i tune in in the middle and without ever look at the credit or the title . what more i could tell it be golan globus within a minute of screen time . something about the story structure and the goofy relationship between the character and the mannered dialog and the wooden acting ( spike with the occasional outright terrible performance ) and the scene tempo and rhythm that make albert pyun look like john mctiernan and the paper thin plot and not ready for prime time fight choreography . golan globus have be incredibly consistent over the year in style and subject matter and point of view . what can you say and it must work for them and since they have produce literally dozen of movie . you go to one of their production and and you know exactly what youre get . and it ain not brain food and folk . ninja 3 be another piece of hackwork in a long line of product from the g g sausage factory and and offer the typical limited pleasure to the movie goer palate . you have get a bad ninja and slice up cop and criminal and anyone else who get in their way . you have get a good ninja and pledge to stop him . you have get a westerner throw into the mix so we american can identify with him ( or her in this case ) and be reassure that we can still beat those pesky oriental at their own game . you have get a love interest ( who be usually also the bad actor or res in the film ) fencing with the hero . you have get your endless string of assault and assassination and linger shot of men gurgle in agony while an arrow or throw star stick unconvincingly out of their eye and neck and or chest . you have get your beefy white guy or bodyguard in suit call a ninja a son of a btch and throw a roundhouse punch and only to get his s hand to him . you have get a final confrontation between the good guy and the bad guy which go on for 20 minute and just sort of stop like a roadrunner cartoon instead of reach a climax or a resolution . ninja 3 be a little different and in that the plot revolve around a scrappy female athletic type get possess by the bad ninja and so she end up kill a lot of the cop and criminal and beefy white bodyguard in suit while under his spell . but all the other element be there and a formal in their way a a kabuki play or a noh drama . i actually think lucinda dickey be pretty likable in this film . she nicely muscle and curvy and have great cheekbone and some athletic ooomph to her movement and and you can actually suspend belief enough to accept that her character could do some of the feat she pull off in the movie . she can almost and but not quite and carry this thing . one extra start for her participation and good energy . naturally and sho kusugi be in here and and he pretty much dominate the last 10 15 minute of the movie . and just to show you how 3rd rate and uninspired g g movie be and the director and editor inter cut the last climactic fight between kosugi and the bad ninja scene with numerous reaction shot of dickey and her boyfriend watch the life and death battle with an expression of mild bemusement . i be serious . for all the emotion and reaction they show to the proceeding and they could be look at a sea turtle in an aquarium at marineland . i can only imagine how dickey must have felt when she saw the finished product she probably want to run the editor through with a katana for real because those reaction shot make her look like a complete idiot . an enjoyable waste of time . but it definitely be a waste of time . maybe if you be a sho kusugi fan and or even a linda dickey fan you would find it worth your while .
