The William Lee cult classic has finally made it's way to DVD. Since 1988, this film has only been available on VHS and then only in scattered locations across the globe. Produced in 1987, for less than $1500, shot on film without sound, but using dubbed dialog, this martial arts cult classic was Indie Filmmaker William Lee's last full tilt Ninja genre film. Containing the infamous "cussing ninja" sequence, this undiscovered gem shows all the inconsistency of an indie production, while presenting action sequences staged with real knives, swords, shurikens and Nunchaku!
William Lee wrote, produced, directed and starred in this film, which concerns a secret agent guiding an adventurous female professor on a search for the Treasure of the Ninja. Bad guys, good guys, thugs, thieves, and of course--ninja fight to the death in this inspired production, which was far ahead of it's time. William Lee does his finest "Bruce Lee" impersonation and choreographed the fight scenes according to scenarios he viewed at least 100 times while watching Bruce Lee's epic films, frame by frame. Cheesy acting, bad dubbing, sometimes questionable photography, and pure electronic 1980's music! And then, there are the superb fight scenes and lots of bad ass Ninja! What more could you ask for! See how the William Lee legend started. Self distributed in 1988 by William Lee, this is a classic showcase of getting it done against all odds. All hail the Ninja!
