Clash of the Ninjas (1986)
Nomination Year: 2000
SYNOPSIS: An illegal organ donor ring (the involuntary kind), run by ninjas, is operating out of Hong Kong. It's up to Tony, a plucky Interpol agent, to bring them to Justice. When the head ninja (who is the guy who killed Tony's master years ago) also kills his girlfriend, Tony really gets fierce. Turns out Tony is a Ninja, too (the good kind), and there's a climactic battle at the end where Good explosively triumphs over Evil.
- "Wanna Run That By Me Again?"
"'Mafia?' What's That?"
Tony explains to the Hong Kong police what the Mafia is -- and they've never heard of it before!
- "Alas, Poor Yorick"
Thanksgiving Already?
The ending fight is full of rotten special effects, impossible escapes, and, oh, a bad guy who explodes into stuffing.
- Worst Cover Copy
Is That Stallone?
The cover is nothing but a cheesy drawing of things that don't really happen. Tony looks like Sly. The back "synopsis" uses English words, but not English syntax.
- Inane Dialogue
"You're Safe."
"You're safe. No one can find you here." Guess what?
- Worst Special Effect
Lamethrower
The ninja guy uses a Lame Thrower on some cops.
