Why hadn’t I heard of this move before? The Hunted (1995) is all about ninja fighting samurai. I’m not sure if it had a great plot or good acting, because I was too distracted by all the cool ninjas fighting the awesome samurai. They were throwing ninja stars at him, and he knocks them away with his katana and then chops up the evil ninjas.
That what I watch movies for.
Technically, the movie stars Christopher Lambert as a man on a short business trip to Japan who accidentally finds himself in the middle of a conflict between ninjas and samurai. He then spends pretty much the whole movie trying to stay out of the way of the aforementioned ninjas and the samurai until the very end when he fights the head ninja. He only has three weeks training with a sword, but there’s a twist to the fight that makes it somewhat realistic that he could win.
Unlike lots of cheesy 80’s ninja films, this movie tries to be accurate about the fighting styles and customs of the ninjas and the samurai. And why not; it was written and directed by the scribe of Pretty Woman. I haven’t seen that movie yet, but I can’t wait to now. It must be full of ninja/samurai action (and, I assume, some sort of attractive woman). Four stars.
It is a Great fun movie I recomend it.
I deeply regret that you have resorted to slurs against the ninja-american community. When will America ask the tough questions about our repression of ninja-americans since 1443 B.C.?
Classifying assassination as “murder” is a major grievance of the ninja-american community. Jailing innocent ninjas based on some white man’s idea of justice is a crime against all ninjas, everywhere. How, exactly, do you expect ninjas to earn a living if they cannot murder, maim, and blow poison darts at random?
Acknowleging and apoligizing for the atrocities committed against ninja-americans is only the first step. You must also hire proportionate representation on your website for the ninja-american viewpoint. Ninjas make up .0000001% of the American people. Rounding up, you must hire 1 ninja to avoid charges of racism. Since there can be only one writer of this website, a ninja is being dispatched to kill you and take your place.
Do not resist, anything you gurgle as your life-blood erupts from your throat can be used against you in a court of law.
Ninjas are a bad. I like to see samurai kill them.
Whats the difference between Ninjas and Samurais?
