I'm a collector of Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai films, and was quite disappointed that this movie was not a typical "cut & paste" movie with caucasian Ninja's in headbands, with bad special effects.
Nope, this is just a kung fu movie about 2 brothers that lose their family and get adopted by a family friend. This man teaches the 2 brothers kung fu, and sends them away from the land, far away to hone their skills. 20 years later the old man that raised them summons them back, to help protect their 'family' from invaders that are taking everyones livelihood.
There is one scene where they fight 'masked' men, which resemble Ninja's, but this movie is clearly BEFORE the Godfrey Ho Joseph Lai ninja craze that hit in the mid 1980's.
This movie is NOT bad. it holds its own, and there are a few scenes with good/cheesy music.
But if you are a collector of "cut & paste" type Ninja movies with Richard Harrison and the likes, this is not one of them.
