rating: 4 QuoteAnother Sonny Chiba/Henry Sanada classicQuote
Ninja Wars is a freakishly entertaining story about a wicked magician who exchanges the heads two beautiful young women, so that a lustful baron can have his cake and eat it too, so to speak. A spooky collective of deranged monks and demonic killers are in the employ of said magician, who use poisonous projectile vomiting, image multiplication, spells, spears and resurrection techniques to thwart the infernal meddlings of Henry Sanada, our hero. If you love films like Shogun's Ninja, Lone Wolf and Cub, Sex & Fury, Kill Bill and The Killing Machine, you won't regret buying this! February 27, 2007

This movie is just weird. I think that they were looking for 2 knives in this. I'm sure the plot had a little more to it, bu tthis was just god-awful. The only thing I loved in this movie was the nudity, and there is a lot of it. WARNING- there is a fat chick and she has THE BIGGEST FLOPPERS I HAVE EVER SEEN.

So it stars sonny chiba and his favorite protoge, but the action sucks. maybe this movie was just a huge letdown bacause I had just watched shogun's ninja. I didn't think shogun's ninja was all that good, certainly not a classic, but it was a hell of a lot better than ninja wars. And if you wanna see a really great MOVIE, check out shogun's samurai.

I like this film becuase it is one of the most crazed films I have seen with Sonny Chiba in it. Come on a fat chick on aphrodisiacs!! crazed henchmen with hilarious powers!! Some weird looking bum!! Man life couldnt be any better. But the ending is why I gave it four stars it made no sense it gave me no closure. The film is still good though, if your not a very serious person about these types of films. January 23, 2006

One of the more interesting Ninja Wars films, NOT - But YES. I am happy to present this review of this "special" addition to the Ninja "genre."
There are several films with the name "Ninja Wars." I found that I had, not just one but, two copies of THIS Gem. A "kind of" accidental enrichment. Take note.
This film has it all: Good Japanese film dubbed into English and subsequently the dialogue is ruined? Flying Ninjas. "Sinister" Plots to overthrow rival Ninja Clans. Tears of raped virgins used to make an aphrodisiac? Vomiting Devil-Monks? Heads cut off and replaced on other bodies? "Naked" fat and "naked" thin japanese women in a Japanese film? Hoards of rival Temple Mongers attacking another Temple? Burning Buddha Temples?
My God. I loved this film. Lots of surprises.
Whip out that credit card NOW. Buy this film, without delay, from ME, and be sure to pay top dollar for a good copy (mine).
If you do NOT have this film in your collection and you have ANY interest in Martial Arts Films, shame on you. This film is now THE most cherished and important film in my collection - at least in my Martial Arts Collection.
P.S.: I AM one of the Devil-Monks. Really. But, I do not Vomit? Really. August 2, 2005

I rented this movie from a video store back in the late 80's and I have never forgotten it. Projectile vomiting and some of the cheesiest dialog ever! June 18, 2003
