Directed by \u003cstrong\u003eSam Firstenberg\u003c\/strong\u003e and written by \u003cstrong\u003eJames R. Silke\u003c\/strong\u003e, the film delivers a blend of family drama, criminal intrigue and spectacular ninja combat. It is the second instalment in the popular Cannon Ninja series, following Enter the Ninja and preceding Ninja III: The Domination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story begins in Japan, where Cho Osaki's family is brutally attacked by a group of ninjas. Cho survives the massacre, along with his young son Kane and his mother, but the tragedy leaves him determined to escape the violence that has shaped his life. With the help of his American friend Braden, played by \u003cstrong\u003eArthur Roberts\u003c\/strong\u003e, Cho relocates to California. Hoping to make a fresh start, he establishes an art gallery and puts aside the weapons and skills associated with his family's ninja tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCho's young son Kane, played by \u003cstrong\u003eKane Kosugi\u003c\/strong\u003e, is already showing an extraordinary aptitude for martial arts. When Kane demonstrates his ability to defend himself against school bullies, Cho is reminded that the family's ninja heritage cannot simply be forgotten. His mother encourages him to pass on the traditional skills, although Cho is determined that his son should understand the discipline and responsibility behind them rather than regard martial arts as an excuse for violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCho's new business arrangement soon becomes a source of danger. His trusted friend and business partner Braden is secretly involved in a criminal operation, using the art gallery as a front for an illegal drug-smuggling enterprise. The imported Japanese dolls conceal heroin, and Cho gradually discovers that he has been drawn into a criminal network without his knowledge. As the situation becomes increasingly dangerous, the gangsters behind the operation threaten the life he has worked so hard to establish in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen betrayal and violence reach his family, Cho realises that he cannot escape his past. He must once again become the \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Ninja\u003c\/strong\u003e, drawing on his exceptional ninjutsu training to protect those he loves. His confrontation with Braden develops into a battle between two highly skilled fighters, culminating in an elaborate showdown involving rooftop combat, daring stunts and explosive action. The film's central theme is captured in its memorable attitude: only a ninja can stop a ninja.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cast includes \u003cstrong\u003eKeith Vitali\u003c\/strong\u003e as Dave Hatcher, \u003cstrong\u003eVirgil Frye\u003c\/strong\u003e as Lieutenant Dime, Mario Gallo as Caifano, Grace Oshita as Cho's grandmother and Ashley Ferrare as Cathy. Kane Kosugi, Sho Kosugi's real-life son, made his film debut playing Kane Osaki. Sho Kosugi was not simply the film's leading performer; his martial arts experience also contributed to the fight choreography, helping give the action sequences their distinctive physical style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the camera, director \u003cstrong\u003eSam Firstenberg\u003c\/strong\u003e brought an energetic approach to the martial arts genre, while screenwriter James R. Silke developed the story around family loyalty, criminal betrayal and the conflict between traditional ninja discipline and modern organised crime. Producers \u003cstrong\u003eMenahem Golan and Yoram Globus\u003c\/strong\u003e were the driving forces behind Cannon Films, the production company responsible for many of the era's best-known action movies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction began on 1 July 1982. Although the film was originally planned for Los Angeles, the production moved to \u003cstrong\u003eSalt Lake City, Utah\u003c\/strong\u003e, where more favourable filming arrangements helped control costs. One of the film's most memorable stunts involved a simulated climb up a skyscraper. Stunt coordinator Steven Lambert used a cable and harness system to create the appearance of climbing the building's exterior. The climactic rooftop sequence required considerable planning, mechanical rigging, pyrotechnics and specialist camera work. Released in September 1983, \u003cstrong\u003eRevenge of the Ninja\u003c\/strong\u003e became an enduring favourite among fans of 1980s martial arts action, helping establish Sho Kosugi as one of the genre's most recognisable screen ninjas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Revenge of the Ninja (1983) - to find out more about the movie, posters, and movie trailers, go to IMDB.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0086192\/\"\u003eTo find out more about Revenge of the Ninja (1983) click here to go to IMDB.com.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Notes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImages may have a small 'MPA' digital watermark and this does not appear on the poster.
