  • Does Frank Dux know Ninja Secrets the rest of us don't? Find out 5 more fun facts about Revenge of the Ninja, which I go over with the actual film's stunt coordinator Steven Lambert. This video was inspired by an article titled "10 Things you didn't know about Revenge of the Ninja", which was posted on the bulletproofaction website. I had noticed that Steven Lambert, the stunt coordinator on the film, had commented on that article and mentioned that not all of the facts were accurate. In this video we'll go over the next 5 "facts" and find out whether are not they're true, plus get a ton more insight into each of them as they relate to Revenge of the Ninja.

A lot of places use Cape Town to represent the Carribean- even Black Sails, I think it may be to do with the deep rough waters and ship building expertise out there, they are very clever with their navy etc being resourceful with limited finances.

    I agree with Stephen Lambert you should be remembered for everything he's ever done he definitely is an artist he's very good at his job if it's playing a bad guy or stunt double maybe you can be a good guy one of these days as well either way I believe everyone that does anything in their life if it's career or whatever they should definitely be remembered respected and honored for whatever it is that they did because that is their legacy and I enjoyed that movie where he played the silver masked ninja as a little kid he was kind of scary to me but it was an awesome moving I was very excited

  • @MrSwyl

    It's probably true that Keith Vitali was gonna be marketed on the poster as the lead because it was already done with the Ninja 3 and the female Ninja aswell as with Black eagle and Van Damme even though he was barely in the movie.
    Back in those days(and unfortunately some what still to this day) wasn't seen as commercially viable to have an Asian lead. Going back even to Bruce Lee when they got a white actor David Carradine to play the Kung Fu Lead and in Enter the Dragon where Bruce had to "share" the lead role with a white actor John Saxon as displayed in the opening title credits.

    Another great interview! About Sho Kosugi not wanting to showcase Keith Vitali, there's an interview with Sho Kosugi in which he explains that the first idea of Revenge of the Ninja was to have two lead characters, Sho Kosugi and a white guy and Kosugi fought so hard to change this and have his son Kane Kosugi to be the one showcased in the movie. In the interview he said he was affraid to be replaced by another actor like it happend to Mike Stone in Enter the Ninja. Guess he just didn't wanted to take risks.

    Good follow-up video. Facts we didnt know. How they "winged it" a lot. Which might explain why they had "Cathy" the hot blonde in the film and yet not do what many of us likely expected. Why else do films bring in a beatuiful blonde or any beautiful woman ....in an action film....As I said....if she had done what we expected then the seduction scene would have made sense....minus the " Kasrate practice".... Didnt understand why they bothered to go that direction wit that scene and make it PG`13....
    Would have been nice if you could have asked Steven if he knew why....even if this video was I guess about the MA aspect....
    Or how they managed to leav in the scene where Shane gets a ninja star in hisi eye....or have "Cathy" fight Cane.....something that wouldnt have made it into a film today.

      Lol yeah definitely. Schwarzenegger might've even been able to own him all things considered. I've heard a few times that Arnie remembered all he was taught by his fight coordinators, and knew how to handle himself more than adequately, and he obviously had a high level of strength, fitness, and confidence. I wouldn't be surprised if even Stallone could've owned Dux too. He took a fair amount of accidental (and some wanted) bombs from dudes much bigger and stronger than him practically all the way through every Rocky film. Plus he had a round or 3 getting pummeled by Joe Frazer when he was testing him for what ended up being Mr.T's role in Rocky 3. I'm pretty confident that Dux never once experienced close to that level of pressure.

    It wasn't really a "robot" arm. It was a mannequin arm that just had stuffing poking out of the armpit. In ninjutsu, and in Naruto world, it's thought of as a "substitution jutsu." I can't recall the Japanese terminology for it. But it's where a ninja cleverly places an item or animal or doll likeness of a person that closely resembles the enemy to try and trick him, or use as a diversionary tactic.

    What was the reason ninjas popularity exploded in the 1980s to such a level where it became almost unavoidable in pop culture and videogames? Who told white people about them existing? I would like to know that. Did Chuck Norris kill one while he was in the Delta force and then found scrolls telling everything about how to be ninjas? Why are to this day still no ninja robots in japan to assassinate enemies despite the fact that the ninja techniques are public knowledge? It makes no sense. It would not be hard to make a robot with muscle that are stronger than humans and it sneaks past security hacks the cameras, throws grapple knife into a guys gut and uppercuts them in the air like scorpion in mortal kombat and then if the opponent is not dead, it sets them on fire with built in flame thrower. This is technology that isn't futuristic but available now.
