Ninja The Protector (1986)

A Chinese kung fu film directed by Godfrey Ho.
Standard Godfrey Ho story: cops looking for criminal ninjas.
What a worthless film! At least it was only an hour and 7 minutes long. Crappy plot, crappy characters, lame-ass action scenes. you get the idea. Don't watch it. I'm rating it bad.

Ninja Champion (1985)

A Chinese kung fu crime drama written and directed by Godfrey Ho.
A woman hunts down the 3 men who raped her and her ex-husband gets involved while a group of ninjas watch and wait for the right time to attack them.
Holy muddy plots, Batman! This thing sucked the big one, but I don't care because as soon as I saw the words "Godfrey Ho" cross my screen, I busied myself with writing guitar parts and barely paid any attention to the movie. Why is it that there are European/American ninjas in these Chinese flicks? Reality check on line #1 for Godfrey Ho: Ninjas are Japanese. Static characters, no style, at least I could see what was going on, blah blah blah. I'm rating it poor.

Ninja Empire A.K.A. Ninja Phantom Warriors (1987)

A Chinese worthless piece of crap by Godfrey Ho.
Chinese gangsters are sending Russian weapons to the middle east. An American is sent to do... something...
I've said that 1987 is the best year for movies. Apparently, it's also the worst. The plot didn't make sense, the fight scenes didn't fit in the plot, the characters didn't fit together in the story and the camera-work and lighting were both horrible. This is how not to make a movie. It's worse than Ben Hur, worse than Some Kind Of Monster and probably worse than whatever beat them last. I had to turn it off about half way through, looked it up online and read about some fantastic ninja fight "in the last 5 minutes or so", looked for the fabled fight scene, but didn't find it. I have to rate this shit. Fuck you, Godfrey Ho.

Revenge of the Drunken Master (1984)


A kung fu directed by Godfrey Ho.
A young fighter who practices drunken boxing and acupuncture is chased by other fighters who want to defeat him.
Uncharacteristically for "drunken" named kung fu, there was some actual drunken boxing in this film. The style and production value were horrible and the plot and characters murky at best. I'm rating it poor, which is better than I rate most similar kung fu films.
