Comeuppance Reviews When a woman named Rose is attacked in the woods and raped, she makes it her mission to track down her assailants one by one and get violent revenge. After killing one of them, she's on the run from the law, mainly represented by Interpol agents Donald (Baron) and George (Lam), though she and George continue to see each other on the sly. But the Interpol agents are also interested in these dastardly characters because they just so happen to be a gang of international diamond smugglers. Aren't they all. Presumably this is where Richard Harrison, playing a guy named Richard, comes into the picture and some warring ninjas face off in acrobatic duels, but it's hard to tell. Will Rose get her revenge? And what are all these ninjas doing here? Find out today...? By Godfrey Ho standards, this particular outing is relatively straightforward. By any other standard of movie-making, it's still a silly, nonsensical oddity, but what we have here is more or less a revenge drama with a couple of spliced-in ninja moments. Maybe Ho and the gang injected the ninjas simply because it was the Ninja Boom of the 80's and in order to get your movie in video stores, it had to have the word "ninja" in the title somewhere. And being the honest man that he is, he wouldn't give the public a movie called Ninja Champion and deprive it of ninjas. (Though to get really specific, it's not exactly clear who the "champion" refers to, but that's neither here nor there.) The movie would have worked just as well without said ninjas, however, and as a revenge drama it more or less works, if Godfrey Ho's style means anything to you.Of course, the loud, abrasive dubbing is here, but to counteract that the clothes the characters wear and the home decor are truly something to behold, as they usually are in Mr. Ho's works. While George is an "Interpol agent with a license to kill", and Bruce Baron, who has had an interesting career in low budget movies, is there to back him up (though he does look a lot like Richard Harrison, so his casting adds yet more unnecessary confusion to the proceedings), and of course Harrison is here, from some other movie no doubt, but the most welcome re-appearance is the Garfield phone (first seen in Diamond Ninja Force). It's back! Fans must have demanded it, and it was nice to see.Then a guy in a Michael Jackson jacket fights a guy with a bow-tie wielding a sword. Or, as an abbreviation, MJ Jacket vs. Bow-tie Sword. And including the aforementioned Baron and Harrison, the whole movie is a cavalcade of admirable mustaches. The baddies wear very weird clown makeup at random times, and of course our ninjas wear headbands that say "ninja" on them. Naturally, it all ends up at an abandoned warehouse, and by Ho standards the ending isn't even that abrupt.So if you know and love the nutty cinematic stylings of Mr. Ho, here you will get what you're used to.Others will probably be confused, but likely still reasonably entertained.

Mike Reynolds Whenever I sit down and watch Ninja Champion, I wonder to myself. "Did team of people that actually collaborated to make this movie actually think it was good?" There's just a mistake after another that even the least skilled film watcher could point out. The third generation film and audio, the quotes! When the boxer is dying on her bed, he claims the wine they drank was poisoned, she corrects him:"No not the wine...my nipples, you jerk!"She actually calls him a jerk! The guy raped her and the only thing she can come up with is "jerk"!? Touché! Then she proceeds to whip him to death with a SHOE LACE!?BRILLIANCE!myfriend_mikeps:If anyone knows the name of the track that plays when the bald guy is leading the tampon cigarette guy and the short guy to their boat base, I will give them 10 bucks.

HaemovoreRex This is one of the very best of the many cut and splice ninja outings as cobbled together by those legendary cinematic rascals Joseph Lai and Godfrey Ho.What can I say? This is absolutely mental!!!!!!!!! It truly has to be one of the most unfathomable, illogical and downright demented films I have ever had the pleasure (and confusion) to sit through! The plot in this is without doubt the most bizarrely complex and muddled I have ever witnessed in any film! The ending especially, when Maurice the evil ninja explains 'the beauty' of his plan (complete with a maniacal laugh!) is completely and utterly baffling and I frankly defy anyone to follow it without rewinding the scene a good few times in order to take it in! Needless to say, Donald, our ninja hero played by always welcome genre regular Bruce Baron, is mightily peeved upon learning the villain's evil scheme (and no doubt also by his bewildering recounting of it!) and challenges him to a climatic battle which just has to be seen to be believed! This film is about as crazy as they come and is all the more fun for it although be warned, it may well induce severe brain damage!!!

kimble_bobby Ninja Champion is a collage of martial arts movies glued together by a ridiculous plot. But that's what Godfrey Ho is known for. In the 80's Mr. Ho discovered you could take a bunch of cheap crappy movies and edit their fight scenes together to make a new movie!The plot for Ninja Champion is as follows; three men rape a woman. The men turn out to be part of a diamond smuggling ring. The woman's ex-husband is an Interpol agent who wants to stop the diamond smugglers and help his ex-wife kill the three men that raped her.Throughout this movie there are random scenes of nameless guys beating each other up for no reason. Nothing is ever explained. In one fight scene, one of the men changes from a guy with no shirt into a ninja dressed in a red suit. This is never explained, but then again the reason these people were fighting in the first place was never explained either.If this movie were intentionally made as a comedy it would be the work of a genius. However, I don't think that was the case.
