Ninja vs. Shaolin Movie Reviews

Roberty Tai’s best

Shaolin vs Ninja is a nonstop mind blowing fight fest, the best and most coherent outing from Robert Tai, the Taiwanese madcap maverick (see also ‘Ninja final’ duel & ‘Shaolin Dolemite’) In this ‘Chinese vs Japanese’ sub-genre we see the typical portrayal of the Japanese as evil bloodthirsty thugs, and the Chinese fighting coming out tops over the inferior Japanese style. The martial arts scenes (which is most of the movie) are second to none, the choreography and ability of the performers are mind blowing (all pro martial artists here). One of my favorite scenes is the tournament in the court yard, where the Chinese are pitched against the Japs(funnily enough) in a series of bouts which are breathtaking in their execution. There’s a cameo from director Robert Tai here also.

People complaining about the plot (or lack of), the character development and silly dubbing are missing the point, this is a madcap fight fest, which also has some well impressive super sized Buddha statues. “Amor Tofo”

alexander lo does it again

Alexander Lo outdoes his earlier movie “Mafia vs Ninja” in this one.

“Praise be to Buddha.”

I watched an English language version, which had some of the worst dubbing I’ve seen–there are many lines where the characters continue to speak for two seconds after the voice is finished.

“Praise be to Buddha.”

The choreography you have to see for yourself (but then again, there’s not much reason to watch these dumb kung fu flicks except for some good laughs).

“Praise be to Buddha.”

One of the biggest weaknesses of “Shaolin vs Ninja” is that there is not really one main character to follow (theoretically Alexander Lo, but he is absent for a lot of the movie).

“Praise be to Buddha.”

Oh, yeah, and how could I forget? If you like drinking games, why don’t you try having a beer everytime the senior monk says, “Praise be to Buddha.”? If your brain hasn’t atrophied by the end of the movie, you will surely have died of alcohol poisoning.

“Praise be to Buddha.”

Rating: 2/10, but only because there’s actually worse

“Praise be to Buddha.”

The title tells you everything you need to know

SHAOLIN VS. NINJA is a typically nondescript Taiwanese action romp from director Robert Tai. The plot is exactly as it says in the title, charting the fortunes of a Shaolin Temple that gets attacked by a ruthless squad of ninjas. Much low rent action ensues, none of it much cop, even if it is mildly amusing. It’s not as much fun as the pure over the top goofiness of something like MAFIA VS. NINJA, which is still the pinnacle of this sub-genre in my mind.

Alexander Rei Lo is the peaceful hero spurred into action, with the usual familiar faces appearing along the way. The English dubbing is appalling, the sound effects are completely over the top, and the cheesy choreography takes some beating. Sadly, the whole episode is never quite crazy enough, leaving it unmemorable rather than a classic of its type.
