Ninja in the Deadly Trap

Customer Reviews:

great story with ninja packed action.......2007-01-12

the story is pretty straight forward...it gathers everthing it needs to set up the storyline to bring the full packed ninja action against this magnificent 3 warrior brothers. You will see alot of different ninjas (black ninjas, sun ninjas, tree ninjas, and soil ninjas) using many kinds of deadly weapons including shruyuken. The sword fighting is straight up awesome. The only thing i complain is the fight between one of the three brothers against this one bodyguard of the boss during the final fight. Other than that, you will see deadly weapons used and raw kung fu fights in this flick. 4 stars

Decent ninja flick with 4 HUGE stars in it.......2006-11-03

Ninja in the Deadly Trap is not a bad movie, it is just extremely boring. It seems to have a lot of waiting around until we get to the action. The 3 most acrobatic venoms play the good guys in this film which was certainly a change for Lu Feng. So the General played by Ti Lung has been attacked and he sends his son to find these 3 great fighters. Their master has a line straight out of 5 deady Venoms but this movie sticks more to the 'Chinese Super Ninja' style. In fact, it was made in the mid eighties around the same time as Super Ninjas was made. It really does feel like a cheap ripoff, not just of Super Ninjas, btu many other Venom films. I can still look beyond the incredibly boring and unoriginal story though and be happy with the great action. Phillip Kwok is just amazing with his choreography but even the action starts to feel cheap. You don't have those 30 movements in one shot like you used to for their Shawbrothers films, and we don't get those spectacular 10-15 minute fighting sequences. Still, seeing Lu Feng, Phillip Kwok, and Chiang Sheng go at it with Yusuaki Kuratu and other no names got me by for the night. Still, the biggest dissapointment was seeing Ti Lung in a non fighting role, I think that he got literally a single swipe with his sword. It's Ti Lung, did he break his leg or something before the shoot?

The commentary is ok but warning, they give away the entire plot of 'Chinese Super Ninjas'. They do give some good info on Sheng and Kwok, but don't even mentionj any of the Taiwanese films Sheng did like Ninja Death or Drunken Dragon or how he directed Ninja USA and Ninja Death... Picture is full screened but it is watchable.

The "Five Venoms" in a non-Shaw film.......1999-12-12

Members of the "Five Venoms" made this film after leaving the Shaw Brothers studios. Don't pay attention the the review by "A reader from Tacoma,Washington". This film is not cut. He is confusing this film with the film Super Ninjas.

Could have been better if it wasn't all cut up.. 8-(.......1999-09-25

My favorite movie to watch in the 80's...Best fight scenes I've ever seen in a long time.. This movie will have you thinking your a ninja too.., but the end was cutabout...30 minutes..They show the sun ninjas..but they left out the underground ninjas...tree ninjas...and the black ninjas.. but if you've never seen it before, then you wont be missing out that much because this movie still kix azz.. 8-)

NINJA IN THE DEADLY TRAP-Ninja in the Deadly Trap is not a bad movie, it is just extremely boring. It seems to have a lot of waiting around until we get to the action.

NINJA VS. BRUCE LEE-Ok first off, THERE ARE NO FREAKING NINJAS!!!!!!!!! Not only no ninjas, but that shot of Bruce 'Le' with a machine gun doesn't show up in the movie either. Basically Bruce Le is called in to handle a case and it is basically him just getting in one fight after the other. It was Nice Cheung, even in a limited rle. James Nam is decent as the Karate master and Lo Lieh has a cameo and also my favorite fight of the movie. The final fight with Kong Do is hardly worth watching but a female karate cop helped to get me through this movie for the full 86 minutes. Overall it is clear that Bruce Le is a good action choreographer, he just sucks at actually performing the action. Recommended for people who want a fight filled movie that it barely a step above of the standard chop and block.

Picture quality is full screened but watchable. 1.5/5

Overall not a good 2 pack of movies, but not terrible either. Check out the 6 pack called Ninja 6 that Tai Seng put out recently. A lot more bang for your buck.
