    I don’t often agree with the ratings up on IMDb.com, but this movie’s 1.2 ⭐ is spot on…

      A decent amount of bad movies are still movies- they have audible dialogue, they have cinematography, they have a soundtrack, etc. but this… this is worse than high school level production. I personally find it barely watchable even with rifftrax

        I have an extremely high tolerance for trash but even I found this insufferable…

      I watch a lot of garbage movies on purpose and love them. I have never watched this movie on purpose but I have a memory of catching parts of it somewhere. Maybe on a Roku channel years ago in between other b movies? Maybe at a friend’s house when they were watching terrible movies? I don’t have any idea, really. What I do remember was absolutely fucking terrible, and not in the fun kind of way.

    This comes up every so often on the RiffTrax twitch channel and, try as I might, I can’t make it through more than 20 minutes of it. The guitar noodling, the nonexistent plot, that fucking voice, god it’s too awful to even be funny.

      I remember watching some of it… looked like it was shot with an old-school VHS camcorder and used the built-in microphone on it too. The ninja stuff was funny

      Now imagine sitting through the entire thing without the RiffTrax commentary track. That’s what I did. 🙃
