Ninja the Protector (1986)
Nomination Year: 1999
SYNOPSIS: A convoluted nexus of interlocking subplots that would take pages to describe, so I'll summarize: Cops, crooks, ninja, martial arts, sex on the beach.
- "Wanna Run That By Me Again?"
Passive-Aggressive or Just Plain Stupid?
"I like people who are honest and you lied to me earlier, but now you're telling me the truth, so I'll hire you."
Huh?
- Best One-Liner
When Secret Santa Gets out of Hand
"This is my present."
Aw, how thoughtful. Somebody left me a ninja. I hope they left the receipt, too.
This is what happens when Secret Santa gets out of hand.
Inane Dialogue
The Unrefusable Challenge
"It's a challenge. No one can refuse a challenge."
"Are you going to accept the challenge?"
Jeez, it's like talking to a wall.

Ninjas: Men of Ancient Traditions
OK, I know ninja movies can get pretty weird, but the final battle scene is a ninja joust on motorcycles. With fire extinguishers. The traditional way of settling ninja conflicts.
