New York Ninja (2021) ***1/2

The enjoyment that one gets out of watching New York Ninja (2021) is as much from marveling over the labor of love that rescued this 1984 film from obscurity (more on that here) as it is from the ridiculousness of the film itself. NYN is a whole lot of fun, the dubbing is very well done, and the score by Voyag3r (a band I’ve long been a fan of) is exceptional (plus that banger of a credits song). The strive for authenticity in every facet of this project shines in the outcome. This was fun to revisit with friends. Thank you Vinegar Syndrome, thank you Kurtis Spieler, and thank you John Liu.
