Mausoleum (1983)

"Simon, if this is demonic possession, some of my suggestions may seem very unscientific. Look, Simon, if you're too close, too involved personally... you'll have to step aside."

"I am that close. I'm that involved. That's why I can't step aside."

The Food of the Gods (1976)

My rating: 3/10

This could've been an enjoyable bit of 70s creature feature cheese, were it not for the fact that many animals appear to have been harmed (possibly outright killed) in the making of this movie. Still, I did enjoy the big animal puppets.

American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt (1989)

While I didn't enjoy this film, that doesn't mean you won't. No matter what I say, the people involved in this project did it: they actually made a movie. That's something to be applauded. With that established...

Let me preface my review of American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt by saying that I have seen the first in the series, but not the second. Is it possible that I missed something along the way, that I would recognize this as a masterpiece if I had seen each instalment in the franchise? No. The connection between this film and the other so thin it's barely worth noting. Even if it featured characters you cared about, the performances are appalling, the action scenes laborious & badly choreographed, the plot idiotic and the camera work amateurish. You’ll struggle to stay awake.

Martial artists Sean Davidson (David Bradley), Curtis Jackson (Steve James, reprising his role once more) and Dexter (Evan J. Klisser) learn of a powerful terrorist known as “The Cobra” (Marjoe Gortner). He plans on selling a new super virus to the highest bidder. To prove its effectiveness to the sceptical General Andreas (Yehuda Efroni), "The Cobra" infects Sean. Now, time is running out for him... and the world.

We’re scraping the bottom of the outhouse with this plot. "The Cobra” is finalizing his deadly virus because General Andreas doesn’t understand how biological warfare exists, he demands to see its effectiveness. What better way to prove your weapon will kill anyone and everyone who gets infected than by using it to kill the greatest martial arts fighter on Earth? Of course, that begs the question. How do you determine who the greatest warrior is? By throwing an endless amount of cartoon ninjas - the kind who always dress in black and insist on wielding medieval weapons against potential fighters - against a bunch of guys participating in a nearby martial arts tournament. Whoever beats the most gets the title, I guess.

Even if the set up made sense, the execution is awful. Most of the dialogue is dubbed over, probably because the original actors were either barely intelligible thanks to their accents, or so awful even shoddy filmmaker Cedric Sundstrom cringed. It makes you wonder what their performances were because nobody is convincing. Not when they’re following the script and certainly not when they’re improvising dialogue on the fly.

If at least the action scenes were good, but they aren’t. There’s no tension or excitement as our three heroes casually bat away black-clad morons in broad daylight. They’re so unconcerned with their opponents our heroes don’t even bother to hold onto the weapons they grab to defeat them. The camera always seems positioned at the wrong angle, or slightly too far, making you wonder if this wasn’t everyone’s first foray into motion pictures. It’s improved none by the climax, which features that trademark ninja magic courtesy of Chan Lee (Michele Chan), who comes in, solves every problem at the last second and makes you wonder why anyone bothered.

There’s something exhausting about a plot that only continues because the villains are too stupid or too stubborn to pick up a gun. The “who cares?” story, the flat characters and the general lack of ambition will have you pining for the good old days of American Ninja, and not because Michael Dudikoff is gone. The only good scene in American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt (what does that title have to do with anything?) features a small plane landing on a moving flatbed truck. It’s got nothing to do with martial arts, but that’s some damn good flying. (On VHS, May 27, 2018)
