Blu-Ray Release: Neon Eagle Brings Us The Wild Kung Fu Classic, NINJA TERMINATOR
Later this Month, Neon Eagle Video brings one of the most iconic examples of ninja cheese to Blu-Ray in the form of 1985’s NINJA TERMINATOR. And they’re bringing all the bells and whistles.
Ninja Terminator is as infamous as martial arts movies come; directed by “cut-and-paste” master, Godfrey Ho. It features Garfield phones, Korean super kicker, Hwang Jang Lee, in a blonde wig and Richard Harrison, who went on to be one of the most well-known ninja actors in cinematic history. And rightfully so. His filmography is bonkers.
Previously only avaiable via shoddy VHS rips, Neon Eagle delivers a beautiful remaster from a 4K scan and a host of special features. Including:
