I found this film to be entertaining on many grounds; the enthusiastic fights (the water one was wonderful) , the varied and interesting characters (the man tattooed on the head particularly), the plot twists, the bright red ninja costume the heroine pleasingly wears, the usual amusing dubbing of course and the zero attempt to convince the viewer that the film was set during the second world war. Hui-Shan Yang as the lady ninja out for revenge was compelling and the great Kuan Tai Chen was watchable as usual though sadly he only burst into action at the end of the movie. Yes, it is cheesy but like gorgonzola you either love it or hate it. It tasted fine to me.
