When I was a kid I was all about ninja's Ninja movies, and sho kosugi.( main ninja in this movie) I probably watched this thing 100+ times. Sho kosugi just looks cool in his costume and his weapons and techniques are Always awesome. This has some cheesy 80's stuff in it but It's still an awesome movie. Look his sons Shane and Kane up too. They were featured in a lot of his movies but as they grew up They made some awesome movies themselves. Having Tarantino make a ninja movie using the kosugi Family would be a dream come true and the baddest ninja Movie ever made. Check this one out you'll see what I mean. Then go on to revenge of the ninja, pray for death, and his sons movie blood heat. No need to thank me. Your welcome.

"Ninja III: The Domination" is energetic, sometimes priceless popcorn fodder from those reliable folk at the Cannon Group, producers and distributors of so many irresistible B movies of the 1980s. An in-name-only sequel to "Enter the Ninja" and "Revenge of the Ninja" (all the three movies really have in common is star Sho Kosugi) with its own stand alone story, it functions as a martial arts / "Exorcist" mash-up as an evil "black ninja" assassin (David Chung) slaughters some people on a golf course and then leads the police on a chase. Eventually, he's pumped full of bullets, but he has enough life left in him to stumble his way to a young woman, Christie (Lucinda Dickey of the "Breakin'" movies) and then transfer his spirit to her body. He then periodically takes control of her in order to avenge himself on the cops who shot him, while a good ninja (Mr. Kosugi) is sent from Japan to take care of the situation.Director Sam Firstenberg, a regular in Cannon Group productions (his other credits including "American Ninja" and "Avenging Force"), really seems to be having fun with the melding of genres here, and this movie sizes up as *very* cheesy and *very* funny entertainment that scarcely takes a breath. Its opening 17 minutes surely has to rank as one of the best ever openings for a cult film. There's plenty of action to enjoy; Dickey looks great in and out of ninja costume even if she is doubled by stunt men for the majority of the action sequences. Mr. Kosugi is in extremely fine form, especially for the final showdown with the black ninja at the movies' conclusion. Jordan Bennett, as a cop who becomes Christies' love interest, is annoying for a while but he does eventually grow on you. Also among the cast is the incredibly prolific and always wonderful character actor James Hong, playing a Japanese spiritualist. The horror parts of this movie are never exactly scary, but that's part of the clunky charm of this thing, which does feature one of the oddest bits of product placement ever seen in cinema.Bottom line: this is solid no-brainer escapism. If you're ready to just kick back and put your brain in neutral, the laughs and thrills are enough to keep you satisfied for 94 straight minutes.Eight out of 10.

This is one of the many Golan - Globus made movie. They had series of low budget movies that were pretty entertaining. This is one of it.For almost no reason at all (At least it's not explained in the movie), a guy comes into a cave looking for a hidden sword. He finds it, and the sword transforms him into a super ninja. He then goes out to a golf course, and kills a couple (Again it's not explained who they were) and gets chased by the cops. Cops shoots him with guns and shot guns, but the ninja guy doesn't die (Again no reason). Then he escapes, and meets a girl (Lucinda Dicky). Then a strange thing happens: The spirit of the sword transfers to the girl, and now the girl becomes the super ninja. Then the possessed girl goes out on the revenge on people that shot the first ninja guy. Now enter Sho Kosugi. He's a ninja too, and seems to know all about what's going on, and shows up at key locations (Again for no reason explained). How would they save the girl from the ninja possession ?This is movie that's purely made for entertainment. As you can see, the premise of the story suddenly happens, and then just keeps going without any explanation, but you don't care because of Lucinda's physical charm. She's the most beef cake actress I've ever seen. Other supporting actors are pretty good. Whatever the reason, the producers knew what they were doing, because this is an entertaining movie.It's a good movie, and is recommended for viewing.

Ninja III: The Domination was one of those 80s movies that were always on TV, and were pure entertainment. Nobody knew why it was called "Ninja 3" and no one really cares about it. This 80s Cannon Films were great, no doubt about that. The plot: a near-immortal black ninja posses a beautiful babe to make her commit revenge against the cops that kill him. Thats basically the story of this gem.The first action sequence of the movie is amazing, pure action, lots of ninja action and gunshots with cool and absolutely dated synthesizer movie (i love this music in this 80s films). No logic, lots of plot holes this is a no-brainier that its very enjoyable7/10
