All I can figure is, this guy gets out of prison for a crime he didn't commit, and he and his brother decide to go on a vigilante rampage to extract justice from the utter sleazebags who set him up in the first place. I would be able to write a more precise review, but some friends stopped over about ten minutes into the flick and I completely lost track for the next hour.

I do know that along the way we have: several flashbacks; a fight in a go-go bar; a classic battle with the brothers and a guy in Bermuda shorts; soap opera-type revelations; an almost Italianesque overuse of the zoom; and one great line of dialogue: "Quan Tung... now I'm going to kill you!!"

Even though the flick contains ALL of these elements, plus several stolen 1970s soundtrack snippets, as well as a Chinese version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Sounds of Silence," I can't recommend any movie in which the final battle features a villain clad in a terry cloth robe and Bermuda shorts.

Oh, by the way, despite the title there are absolutely zero ninjas. Let the buyer beware. Heck, you can see similar, if not better, examples of martial arts on Sunday afternoon TV. Save your money for liquid refreshments. Appreciated for its comic value only.
