Movie Review | Master Ninja (Clouse, 1984)

Imagine going to see Revenge of the Ninja or something like that in theatres, coming home and getting all excited to see more ninja action on TV, and tuning into this only to see 100-year-old Lee Van Cleef getting stunt doubled literally anytime he has to do anything physically strenuous, and getting barely any Sho Kosugi to boot? Yeah, not hard to see why this got canceled. 

As you can guess, this is super low energy and lame, and it doesn’t help that Van Cleef’s co-star Timothy Van Patten is whiny and off putting. I remember him being engaging in Class of 1984, but that charisma is absent here. Van Cleef still has that glint in his eye, but he’s also never looked more frail, which makes it all the funnier whenever it cuts to Sho Kosugi as his stunt double during the action scenes. I’ll say that the handful of minutes of ninja action, which usually come at the end of the episodes, are well done. So if you were around when this originally aired, you could probably tune in for the last ten minutes of the episode and skip the rest. 

This is supposed to combine the first two episodes. Tubi for some reason doesn’t have the first episode, but I found that on YouTube and checked out the second on Tubi. I will likely not explore further. 

The first episode has a telling moment where Kosugi, also playing one of the villains, disguises himself as an old white guy, which will give a lot to grapple with for those interested in unpacking the series’ racial dynamics. It also has Demi Moore as a guest star. The second episode features Soon-Teck Oh and Brian Tochi as guest stars, although sadly they are not allowed much depth. There is however a scene where Shanna Reed dances under duress, which is likely the non-action highlight of the episode. It also ends with wheelchair-bound Lori Lethin learning how to walk again, so race is not the only area where the series espouses questionable attitudes. 

So this is horrible and rightfully forgotten, but I’ll throw in that Van Cleef plays a white guy, in case you were worried about some horrifying yellowface acting.

I'd say click on the image for better quality but the crunched pixels lends to the cheap newsprint aesthetic.

I saw this meme today and had to recreate it with 2012- Lmao

Originally, it was just going to be the brothers alone, but I wanted to add little versions of Karai / April / Casey / and Splinter as well and what I feel they would respond with too ! 😌👍✨

The reason I put April in, "thursday" with Mikey and not, "Depersonalization" with Donnie is because: A. She's sarcastic a handful of times in the show, and I felt like this would be one of those moments where she would give a kind of snarky / clever reply ! || B. I love this fanfiction titled, "Of the same Cloth, the same Coin" by Kazegami, and April has this whole story arc going on with her alien genetics that I really enjoy ! So in a way, it was kind of a reference to that? Like, she's going through a lot all the time, so it's just another Thursday to her or something- Lmao || C. This is my own personal bias, but pairing her up with Donnie is annoying / boring to me- At least, canonically speaking-! 😭👍

Klunk! He’s just a little guy

I love cats, they’re so cute :) Wish we saw more of him in the show, but just the fact that they have a cat is great. Poor turtles need an emotional support animal for all that they go through.

Even though Splinter is a rat, I think he treats Klunk like a fifth son. After all, he too was a misunderstood animal who only needed kindness once, and the love that his Masters had for him inspires his own kindness even now.

The episode as a whole was adorable! Even though they live in the sewers and fear humans, the turtles still have a little community of their own.

When you've been hospitalized as frequently as I have, the same old hospital food gets to be a real drag -- particularly the flavorless swill they pump intravenously into your arms as you drift in and out of consciousness.
