Critic Reviews

Adam Lowes

The film‘s sparse narrative exists to simply connect one action set-piece to the next, with sporadic breathing space in between. It’s the kind of undemanding entertainment which was enthusiastically lapped up by viewers during the early video rental era. Read full review

Enter the Ninja represents an unusual hybrid action film, an Italian Western-type story filmed as a contemporary Japanese martial arts action film in the Philippines. Results are pleasant though unspectacular. Read full review

Richard Harrington

Ultimately, it's hard to decide which is more deadly, the action or the dialogue. [26 Dec 1981, p.D5]

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Despite its lack of imagination, this dull martial arts entry spawned two sequels: Revenge of the Ninja and Ninja III--The Domination. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Even on the level of unintentional humour this fails to entertain: the mark of a truly dreadful movie. Read full review
