IFD has a copyright of 1973 on this movie and describes it as so: “Eagle miraculously survives the massacre by General Lung in which his parents are killed and his wife is kidnapped. After spending months alone honing his fighting skills, Eagle sets out to rescue Jade from Lung and kill him and the others responsible for the massacre. But his biggest challenge comes from Boris, a Westerner who has come to old China to become a ninja master.”

Sure, I guess it’s about that.

It starts with Leon, a ninja wearing all pink everything and a headband that helpfully says ninja, battling two black ninjas who have chased one of his friends ad upset his meditation. They’ve been sent by Boris, the yellow ninja, who relates how he and Leon were once friends to his red ninja friend Luther. Leon has sent a message. “Tell Boris the Judge is here.” The henchman who delivers it relates that it was a frightening experience to battle Leon.

Well, Boris did burn down Leon’s house, setting his family ablaze and the last thing Leon said to him was “Justice will be done… and I’m The Judge!” so I assume that this is the same ninja, as does Boris.

Meanwhile, we move on to footage from Cheh Chang’s The Dancing Warrior, whose drunken fighter is now sober and referred to as Eagle. We get to see some of his fighting power as he cuts down a tree with a sword and then blows up some oranges.

Eagle has been looking for his wife Jade, who was taken by General Lo. That journey will take Eagle to some strange places, like a bunch of barbarians in furs fighting, a tiger-striped dude with a mohawk who throws fire at our hero, some ninjas and a chicken.

In between all of this fighting, Leon and Eagle meet one another. As always, the footage is totally different and it’s two people speaking that have and will never meet except through the magical lunacy of a Godfrey Ho movie.

Unlike most ninjas — well, other than Snake Eyes — Leon also will use a flintlock pistol in combat. He doesn’t use it all the time, but it freaks Boris out. I mean, Leon is cold, as he puts it right between the eyes of one evil ninja and says, “Bullets are expensive and hard to come by. Consider yourself lucky! Goodbye!” before letting the guy live. I’m shocked he didn’t piss his red shinobi shozoku.

At one point, Eagle saves a lady from some toughs who are threatening to beat her up outside her restaurant. It’s a ruse. The lady — who seems like she wants to pay Eagle back with a furtive handjob — instead drugs him and gives him over to the general, who ties him up and nearly kills him. Eagle recovers and kills nearly everyone as his woman is killed saving him. Just when he nearly kills the general, that man’s young daughter jumps into his arms and begs for her father’s life. That’s the same thing Eagle once did and an entire movie of being told that revenge is not the right path all hits him at once.

This kind of life lesson will not do in a Godfrey Ho movie, so we return to the last battle of white guy ninjas.

Pierre Kirby played Leon in this and unlike so many of the white ninjas in Godfrey Ho movies, he has some actual martial arts skills. Supposedly, he was a sailor who would act as the boat captain for wealthy people as well as a boat courier. He disappeared around 1990, as he was on the way to the Philippines to deliver a yacht when his ship was boarded by pirates. Yes, not in the movie. In real life.

Cinema Snob Brad Jones said, “His sister once got in touch with me after I did Pierre Kirby week, because she had no idea that her brother ever did any movies and she wanted copies of them. She said the weirdest part was seeing him with a dubbed voice, as he had a heavy British accent in real life.”

If you’ve seen Konan the Barbarian Swordsman or Metallic Fury, you’ve already seen this.

As for the music — always my favorite part of any Godfrey Ho movie, includes repeated use of “Toccata and Fugue in D minor,” as well as Gustav Holst’s “Mars, the Bringer of War,” Pink Floyd’s “Saucerful of Secrets,” “Rubycon part 2” by Tangerine Dream, several songs from the A Nightmare On Elm Street soundtrack, some of the Outland soundtrack, “Zig Zag Title” by Oliver Nelson and “Put Yourself In Los Angeles” by Chris & Cosey.
