Remember Undefeatable? When this happened (eye trauma):
That was directed by Godfrey Ho and it turns out Undefeatable is one of his more competent movies. We're going to watch two of his lesser movies that he made with Richard Harrison because his lesser movies are his better movies. That's the way I do math.
Richard Harrison made 18 movies with ninja in the title and 4 with the word thunderbolt. But there's only one that has both and that's Ninja Thunderbolt. He also made 6 movies with the word force in the title. Alas there is no Thunderbolt Ninja Force but I still think it puts him in the running for coolest guy ever. He could hire that Dos Equis guy to wipe his butt. Too bad he may be most famous for turning down Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars and recommending Clint Eastwood for the part. Ouch.
We saw Harrison in Challenge of the Tiger (AKA Seize The Formula) which you may remember for four things. It starred a guy named Bruce Le, was written by someone named Poon Fan, it showed Bruce Le punching a bull who then turned into a cartoon and had women playing slow-motion topless tennis. All of which is in this trailer (and also some mild eye trauma):
Godfrey Ho would edit two movies together, inserting Western actors for American audiences. He would also use music from other movies. As a result, the soundtrack to Ninja Thunderbolt is great. As far as Silver Fox and Ninja Terminator, there's no one and no thing named Silver Fox in it. But it does have Richard Harrison using the least manliest phone in all of film.
Here's what happened last week (you may not want to watch this, especially if you're Marissa and you were thankfully asleep during this [eye trauma hat trick!]):
