Ninja III: The Domination is a 1984 American martial arts action horror film directed by Sam Firstenberg,[1] and starring Sho Kosugi, Lucinda Dickey, Jordan Bennett, and James Hong. It is the third film in Cannon Films' Ninja Trilogy anthology series, the first being Enter the Ninja, and the second being Revenge of the Ninja. Like the previous films in the series, it has also garnered a cult following.
Christie Ryder (Dickey), a telephone linewoman and aerobics instructor,[1] is possessed by the evil spirit of a fallen ninja warrior by his Ninjatō, Christine, coming to his aid. The spirit uses her body to carry out his revenge on the police officers who killed him. One of them is Billy Secord (Bennett), who catches Christie's eye yet cannot explain her preoccupation with Japanese culture or help her with her sudden blackouts. Out of options, they turn to a Japanese exorcist, Miyashima (Hong), who manages to summon the ninja within her. The exorcist reveals that he cannot force the spirit out of Christie but that "only a ninja can destroy a ninja". Christie and Billy are forced to seek the aid of Goro Yamada (Kosugi), a ninja hunting the assassin within her for killing his clan. The three force the ninja out in a dangerous gambit that results in the spirit repossessing his own dead body and fighting Yamada to death, finally freeing all three of the curses of the black ninja.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 44% based on 9 reviews, with an average rating of 3.62/10.[3] On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 25 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[4]
Sure enough the wrong print had been sent to the theater, a print for a film that had been released a full five years earlier. Oh I was angry at first. How could a projectionist not have known the difference between Ninja III and American Ninja 3? It should be perfectly obvious, right? RIGHT?!
You see once the Black Ninja (Chung) is gunned down by a horde of cops, he vanishes into the ground, only to escape where he runs into Christie. Christie, shocked at finding a ninja, then dances with him for a few moments, more then long enough for the dying ninja to impart his soul into her. And this is when the film gets really weird.
Now imparted with the strength and evilness of a super strong evil ninja, Christie begins to date hirsute men that she hates, beats up a roving rape gang and even begins to systematically kill the individual cops who were responsible for the ninjas death. Whether it be in a hot tub or at a funeral, she is a one woman killing machine.
40 years later and the curse of the black ninja still haunts us. Relive the dark ninja magic of the final entry in Cannon Films legendary trilogy and find out why only a ninja can kill a ninja. (BRANDON LIM)
Aerobic instructor Christie Ryder (Lucinda Dickey, Breakin', Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo) becomes possessed by the spirit of an evil ninja when she comes to his aid after he was shot down. Dominated by the killer's vicious and relentless rage, she sets out to brutally attack his enemies. Her boyfriend, confused by Christie's changing personality and afraid that he might be her next victim, enlists the help of Yamada (Sh Kosugi, Enter the Ninja, Revenge of the Ninja). In a life-threatening exorcism and ultimate fight to the death, Yamada proves that he is Christie's only chance for survival.
The output of infamous exploitation production company Cannon Films from the 1980s was filled with action films starring Chuck Norris, Charles Bronson, Michael Dudikoff, but their other magic touch was riding the wave of current trends and then remixing them out of the stratosphere.
After two semi-successful traditional ninja movies ENTER THE NINJA and RETURN OF THE NINJA, they went full rogue with NINJA III mixing martial arts, possession and aerobics into one of the most ridiculously addictive hybrid exploitation movies.
On a golf course somewhere in sunny California, a man and his lady friend are out with their team of bodyguards to play a round. Things are going well until the man hits his ball only slightly off the fairway. His team of goons is enlisted to help him locate the ball and upon doing so find that a ninja has been stalking them. The bodyguards go on high alert, they are quickly dealt with and the man and his companion are slaughtered easily. The fight however does NOT stop there and instead spills out into the larger town area where a helicopter, and a seemingly endless supply of police cars and motorcycles are destroyed by the single ninja.
If it was Cannon, it was the 1980s and there were probably a lot of Ninjas running about. Ninja III: The Domination was pure Golan/Globus hokum through and through. One part ninja movie, one part Exorcist ripoff, this horror/action flick has not aged at all well - which is a good thing. Ninja III: The Domination has grown into a cult classic becoming a mainstay of the modern midnight movie circuit. It's so ridiculous you have to see it to believe it. Scream Factory has gone back to the well for Ninja III: The Domination not only giving the film a fresh new 4K scan but also dredging up an incredible assortment of hilarious and informative bonus features about the film giving it true Collector's Edition status. I don't often love double dipping on titles, but kudos to Scream Factory for putting in the work to make this one worthwhile. Highly Recommended.
What more can one say about a movie so legendarily bonkers as Ninja III: The Domination? The film has absolutely nothing to do with Enter the Ninja or Revenge of the Ninja. It's a bad splice job of two different popular film genres; horror and martial arts. The acting is subpar. The plot is ridiculous. And true to form it features 80s ninja maestro Sh Kosugi (The Master) playing yet another new character within the franchise. Directed by B-movie legend Sam Firstenberg and produced by the incomparable Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, Ninja III: The Domination is every bit the definition of a true cult classic - so terrible as to be amazing, it's just waiting for the day when Hollywood produces an Oscar-worthy making-of film about it.
The plot - what there is of it - centers around a diabolical ninja (David Chung) who after assassinating some random guy, his girlfriend, his security detail, and about a dozen other cops, is finally fatally wounded in a hail of gunfire. Nearby, a hip and with it working girl by the name of Christie (Lucinda Dickey) witnesses the ninja stumbling around near death. When she attempts to help the man, the ninja passes her his sword and infecting her with his evil ninja spirit. From beyond the grave, he will possess Christie so that he can exact his revenge upon each of the hard-working police officers who killed him. Only Christie's new cop boyfriend Secord (Jordan Bennett) is determined to help her, even if that means turning her over to the mysterious ninja assassin Yamada (Sh Kosugi).
Not that you actually needed a recap of this movie in order to "get it," I just hoped that ridiculous plot rundown would inspire you to check it out! This is a true Cannon film in the purest sense. Known for their penny-pinching ways while promoting their films as would-be blockbusters, Golan/Globus really stuck it to Ninja III: The Domination. It's a decidedly low budget affair with all of the cheap trappings that were a hallmark of their catalog while aiming for larger-than-life entertainment value.
Cheap sets, bad acting, worse visual effects - that's the Cannon way! It's quite clear early on that everything featured in this film - right down to an unreleased arcade game called "Bouncer" - was intended to piggyback on what was already successful in popular culture. Working-girl Flashdance lead character knock off - check. Aerobics class music video sequence featuring hip cool rock music with fit people - check. Ninjas killing random guys with any number of implements - check. Demonic possession because those movies were still popular - check. You can practically see Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus running down the marketing checklist with an enthusiastic swipe of their pen without regard to whether or not it made sense for the film.
To the film's credit, the cast and crew go for broke. Shot before Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Lucinda Dickey was a fresh attractive young face and Menahem Golan was pushing to make her a star by strategically rolling out a series of films in a 5-picture deal prominently featuring Dickey. Lucinda is clearly eager and ready to show the world what she had to offer. Unfortunately, this film effectively killed Cannon's "Ninja" franchise forcing them to reboot with the classic American Ninja run featuring golden boy Michael Dudikoff. At the same time, you can see Sh Kosugi desperately trying to salvage things with his typically impressive stunt work lending an ounce of respectability - even going so far as to body double for Dickey as the possessed Black Ninja when necessary. Jordan Bennett does what he can to ground the film as the "everyman" boyfriend, but the script just doesn't allow for much movement beyond standing around wide-eyed with his mouth frequently agape.
Ninja III: The Domination only works because nothing about it works. Through chaos there is order. All of the worst elements of this film come together to create one of the best movies to watch with a crowd of people. You can certainly enjoy it on your own, but the more the merrier. One of the best theater-going experiences I've ever had was catching this film at a midnight screening with a packed house. The energy, the laughter, everyone feeds off this film and it's an unintentional delight. To that point, if you can't get to the theater, make sure you invite plenty of friends over. It's the best way to enjoy Ninja III: The Domination. You'll never look at a can of V-8 the same way ever again.
