'Treasure of the Ninja' (1987) – William Lee.

Until quite recently I would have said that, Fred 'The Hammer' Williamson was arguably one of the more innately cool action heroes, but the sinewy pantheon of pugilistic perfection must also make room for dangerously slick, ninja-nuking Kung Fu fabulist mofo, William Lee!!! Rescued from undeserved obscurity by those stalwart restorers of superlative schlock at AGFA, Sensei Lee's extraordinary, wildly entertaining treasure trove of delirious D.I.Y martial arts mania is explosively represented by his exemplary 1980s NYC-set 'Treasure of the Ninja'. Shot on Super 8 and edited on video with appreciable skill and winning passion, the dynamic, William Lee's zealous recreation of Kung Fu cinema's myriad excesses illuminates every thrilling 8mm frame of gonzo street tough action! 

Generously packed to bursting point with kinetic martial Arts mayhem, the miraculously fleet-footed fight flick 'Treasure of the Ninja' is a righteous, consistently high-five inducing, non-stop Ninja-Fest. Discounting my earnest fanboy hyperbole, William Lee's likeable, charmingly lofi, blazingly busy B-Movie masterpiece remains a vastly entertaining homemade head knocker that any discerning Ninjoid would be a Kung Fool to miss! The enjoyably rough-shod, pyjama-clad, adrenaline-soaked chopsocky seranade 'Treasure of the Ninja' remains a singularly bracing experience, like shooting a full eyedropper of adrenochrome directly into your twitching eyeball! Forget the witless, and increasingly wickless, John Wick, welcome to your new favourite action master, Magneta Faze!
