In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Five Element Ninjas (1982)
A kung fu directed by Chang Cheh.
A group of ninjas destroys a kung fu school, leaving only one man alive. He studies with another teacher and his 3 students and together they fight the ninjas.
This was actually really cool. The kung fu was good and the special effects were super cheesy. There was a great training scene and the final battle (or battles in this case) was epic. The ninja teams used themed strategies for each of the 5 elements and the kung fu guys had to come up with counter-strategies based on the ninja attacks. There was definitely enough blood and even some dismemberment. These last 2 things are not necessary, but were absolutely appreciated. I'm rating this best.
