Just north of the Land of Weird Remake/Ripoffs, Indonesia (think Lady Terminator), lies the Philippines. They like Bond movies, apparently, are filthy with little people and their professional basketball league teams have names like the Burger King Whoppers, the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters and the Coca-Cola Tigers. That last fact doesn't figure into any of the movies but I found it interesting.
Shô Kosugi is not only the best ninja that has ever appeared in movies but he taught me everything I know about the art:
In 9 Deaths of the Ninja Kosugi plays a guy named Shinobi, borrowing the name of Sega's former ninja mascot. Revenge of Shinobi is still my favorite video game ever. At one point in the game you're fighting Spiderman (!) who then turns into Batman (!!):
It's weird. The final boss is just a guy that whips his hair around. Godzilla is in it. If you stab a guy with a shuriken he explodes. But enough about Revenge of Shinobi, this is supposed to be about 9DotN. Um, I've only watched half. There might not be a lot of ninjas in this, actually. The people that come early (i.e. on time) will see a delightful opening credits sequence.
I don't know why For Y'ur Height Only is spelled like that. I guess if you're extra short your personal pronoun is short too. That's why from now on Ii'll be known by mee or yoou. Yes, FYHO stars a primordial dwarf named Weng Weng. I guess Weng became somewhat of an Internet meme after the appearance this video (with spoilers) by The Chuds (!!!):
