This looks amazing. At first I thought he was super inept but now I think he's more of a genius - he knows exactly what he's doing. "I've got 35 cents and some old Halloween costumes...let's make a movie!" "Record the audio in a bathroom stall? Done!"
Just the word "Ninja" on the headbands always gets me. I'm actually a little surprised EVERYONE isn't wearing something that says what their function is in these movies. Like all the henchmen wearing black t-shirts that have "HENCHMEN" in big white lettering.
Edward D. Wood Junior is truly an American legend whose mug ought to be on Mount Rushmore alongside Washington, Lincoln, T. Roosevelt...and Eddie Cantor, I dunno who all else. Ed was & so will always remain the Ultimate Schlockmeister. Which places him on the same level as God, or whoever else. And which means no foreign upstart can even begin to seize his coveted place in the Grade Z Cosmos. AND SO IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN!!
What should Jane do after leaving the jungle? A) Start a peaceful new life B) Beat Evil Willy to avenge her mother C) Settle down and have a family D) Find herself a nice apartment in the city The answer may surprise you! 😆
There's a semi-authorized sequel to the Tarzan novel series that has Jane and Tarzan separated many decades of marriage (they're both ageless immortals thanks to a formula he cribbed from a local magician when he was much, much younger) and her moving to Britain while he wanders off and winds up stuck in Pellucidar. I kind of despise the idea of the two just leaving each other like that, but I suppose when you've got eternity ahead of you and your kids are long since grown to adulthood taking some time apart doesn't seem unreasonable.
Though his name means little in mainstream movie culture, Richard Harrison is nothing short of a li ving legend in the exploitation field. Back in the Sixties, Seventies, and into the Eighties, the man appeared in too-many--to--count Grade B & Grade Z pictures, from respectably made low budgetters to bottom of the schlock swill bucket (as exampled by the Gregory Ho cut-rate cut-up reviewed above). Harrison's filmography is a vast one, comprising as it does a staggering 125 or more titles---and that's just a partial listing. He made his final movie appearance in 2000. Harrison was originally a bit player in American films (some of them A-list) until he wisely signed with AIP and traveled to Italy in search of opportunities. He didn't have to search long: With his well-toned physique & strong he-man features that Italia he easily landed plum parts in the "Sword & Sandal" mini-epics that Italian studios were busily grinding out like link sausages. Harrison shortly became a recognized screen presence in actioners like THE INVINCIBLE GLADIATOR (1961), GLADIATORS 7 (1962), MEDUSA VS. THE SON OF HERCULES (1963), MESSALINA VS. THE SON OF HERCULES (1964), THE TWO GLADIATORS (1964), and THE GIANT OF ROME (1964), among other titles. Most of these "quickies" were speedily dubbed in to English and then sold in syndicated package deals straight to American TV---which is where so many of us first watched them back in the day. By mid-decade the craze for quasi-mythical musclebound good guys was waning in favor of Spaghetti Westerns & Eurospy thrillers. Without difficulty Harrison made the acting transition to these emerging genres. One of his initial movies GUNFIGHT AT RED SANDS (1964) is worthy of note if only for being the first Italian Western to feature an Ennio Morricone score. Kinda wow & kinda cool, yeah? Later on Harrison turned down the starring role in Sergio Leone's upcoming picture A FISTFUL OF RAVIOLI...errrr...uhhh...DOLLARS, is what it was. But in turning down the offer Harrison recommended a little-known American actor named Clint Eastwood for the part. (Harrison didn't know the Mighty Clint personally, but had been impressed by his work on the popular TV Western RAWHIDE.) Harrison would later quip that his fateful decision was undoubtedly his "greatest" contribution to world cinema
I know him from Shaw Bros classics like Marco Polo. Dude must've just traveled to Asian countries and took any acting gig they gave him. Western actors were always in demand.
0:19 is that music from *Outland?* 1:19 I love how his partner speaks in bullet ricochets. 3:21 yup, that's *Outland* (specifically when O'Neil is chasing Spota through the crew quarters)
Also, a music cue from 'Nighthawks' (by Keith Emerson) during Harrison's trap laying montage. It's almost like watching Woo's 'The Killer' with a lot of James Horner's 'Red Heat' score thrown into the mix.
@@christopherwall2121 Even some Shaw Brothers movies do this... which is what helps to make them so much fun! I will say that the *Outland* action music is used quite effectively here.
The sequence with the girls encountering all the dangerous animals and then the tiger again reminds me of a Simpsons scene from many, many moons ago of Bart trying to escape from someone or something (the details are a bit fuzzy 🫤) and he’s running from edge to edge of a rooftop (?) and seeing a different danger on every side, and eventually winds up back at the first side, sees the same danger again, and says “Oh, yeah.” 😆 I wish i could remember it more clearly, but it still makes me laugh.
The Cape Fear episode! Trying to escape from Sideshow Bob on a boat- alligators and eels if I’m remembering correctly? Same episode where Sideshow Bob steps on the rakes a dozen times
One of the old Samurai Cat books has a character called the Hollywood Ninja, who is exactly what he sounds like. They make a point of calling him out for wearing white costumes at night or underground, and a black costume whenever he's seen in the daytime. When you're being told how absurd you are by an anthropomorphic cat with a katana and his gun-crazy kitten nephew you know you've made some bad life choices. :)
I always wondered what happened to the 2nd C-3 Unit that was immediately behind 3PO & R2-D2!?! It goes down an alternate corridor... & then we never see it again!
IMDb thinks it's called Hands of Death or The Secret Of The Lost Empire. Richard Harrison by the by is listed as having been in 21 movies with the word Ninja in the title between 1985 and 1988. Most of them playing a man named Ninja master Gordon.
Not the best portrait of AK I've ever seen, but love the t-shirt... It reminds me of a (really stupid) comment I heard on here last week. A guy reacting to Schindler's List said: "I never thought I'd EVER like a black & white film but..." and I couldn't help but shake my head in disgust... The fool obviously never saw any Kurosawa. People who dismiss B&W films because they're not in colour are mouthbreathers.
It's not just the fact that there's a "jungle picnic table".. It's the fact that the jungle picnic table has a NUMBER, so you can reserve it in advance.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spinning around and changing clothes (and actors)? That's not magic! That's purple ninja style technique! In reply to the theory in the subtitles, yes, that sound is definitely the result of one of the ninja crew hitting the boom mike against a banana tree.
I don't know about any Evil Willys/Willies running around out in the hinterland. HOWEVER there is a WILLIE DYNAMITE. It's a fairly wigged-out/off the wall Seventies Blaxploitation flick that starts out as standard genre fare, but then turns into a kind of comedy/spoof before it turns toward the end into an uplifting (?) tale of personal redemption. It's a thematically & tone shifting movie that kind of goes all over the place. But I dig it all the same. So git down.
I have never heard of Godfrey Ho. Where has he been all my life? This is just incredibly wonderful. I have to see it. And I can't wait to meet Jane in her apartment in the city Fantastic Woodian dialog
It sounds like the soundtrack to "Outland" without helping att all made a guest appearance in the "movie". That's probably the closest to making a movie with Sean Connery Godfrey Ho has ever been.
Godfrey Ho was notorious for doing that. He'd splice in music from other moves, from TV shows and anime, even pop song instrumentals, if they somewhat fit the mood.
Cripes, those endless Willy jokes. I don't think I've heard a better English dub since the Ghost Stories At School anime got its own very special treatment. Little disappointed none of the characters were named Dick, though. Feels like a missed opportunity. As far as "what happened to that character" goes, I guess it would be nice to see more of either the entire cast of Buckaroo Banzai (yeah, I know about the book) or the "Two Dollars!" kid from Better Off Dead. That was a gag that should have been used in more movies back while people still actually read newspapers.
Thanks for mentioning WHAT'S UP, TIGER LILY". But it's way more than merely 'clever"; it's an absurdly mad comic/satiric spoof that still holds up in its own fashion. Mr. Woody has long since disavowed it, as though it's a career embarassment. But that's coming from the "False Woody". The "Evil Woody" who killed off the "Good Woody" all these many years ago. Please don't get me started.

@@ashleys9397 Yeah, the only palatable explanation for modern groomer/pedophile Woody Allen involves mirror universe replacement theory, agreed. Presumably the evil twin shaved off his goatee to conceal the truth.
Just wondering if Godfrey Ho is an Asian version of Alan Smithee. One of the few movies to make THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN look like CITIZEN KANE. I'm sure the guys that nailed this cinematic masterpiece together had no idea what " Willy " meant in English speaking countries ( you thought at at least one of the White Guys would have told him ). Hot pink ninjas running around in the jungle? Was this going to be a Kung Fu version of BROKE BACK MOUNTAIN? " I can't stop thinking about Willy ! " . If Robin and Graham had sit through this movie more then once, then they have did indeed earn themselves a Purple Heart. Poor guys must mental scares that will never heal.
Pink ninja are very... Inclusive...😂😂 You know, in the jungle you must be absolutely cool... But... poor tiger, poor Snake... Poor elefant... Thumbs up for the asian Sheena of the jungle, I love her.
So Willy owns the mine? Now, while not strictly accurate, I'm using that as an excuse to refer to him as Miner Willy henceforth, meaning that this film takes place in the Manic Miner/Jet Set Willy universe.
I think it was a convenient , randomly chosen, number-- like "Plan 9 from Outer Space" or "Catch-22" ; not a meaningful number like "The Magnificent Seven" or "Fahrenheit 459". 😎
I think it would be better to say while hunting for treasure various people fight in better movies. I have a sift spot for these movies they are bonkers but strangely fascinating and just silly fun.
Ah, this must be when Godfrey decided to cash in on newer movie trends and threw in commandos into his ninja movies. Also, Robin didn't name his character in this review, so I have to assume that Richard Harrison is once again playing Ninja Master Gordon in this movie. If so, this is probably the most proactive role Gordon has played in any Godfrey Ho ninja movie I've ever seen him in.
Cause little Willy, Willy won't go home, But you can't push Willy round Willy won't go. Try tellin' everybody but, oh no Little Willy, Willy won't go home.

In the color chart, the contrast between the pink of the ninja and the yellow-green of the jungle is too strong. They were too conspicuous.
One of the old Samurai Cat books has a character called the Hollywood Ninja, who is exactly what he sounds like. They make a point of calling him out for wearing white costumes at night or underground, and a black costume whenever he's seen in the daytime.

Too bad Willy doesn't pop up in other movies.
Bugger me kieth lemon a pink ninja! Who knew?
You should review Ninja Terminator. It's the most bonkers Ho movie I've seen.
It's also one of the most coherent at the same time.
GOD BLESS GODFREY HO!
It always amuses me when non-Japanese people call themselves "ninjas," and refer to their "sensei," and their "dojo." Gives me "the willies..."
Pepto Bismal Ninjas
Were they too self conscious to have a Soft Willy, Fast Willy, Blind Willy, Bald Willy or Little Willy?
Its a shame Yourube nuked the posting of links. I'd have posted the song, "He's My Best Friend" by Jellyfish.
When the two American Ninja crews started fighting each other, it was a blast. Passed that, this movie was a raging mess. How'd you find this piece of trash? Thank you for posting!
Those pink ninjas are really more purple (at least on RUclips). Just sayin.
Nimja 😅
Willy was too strong for her mom.
