#Franco nero enter the ninja series
who won’t take no for an answer, and a series of escalating attacks forces Cole to take up his ninja training in order to end once and for all, which brings him to a final confrontation with Hasagawa… Cole leaves the dojo to visit his friend, Frank Landers, a fellow war veteran who is having problems with a local businessman named Venarius. He heads to the Philippines to visit an old army buddy (Alex Courtney) and his. Cole (Franco Nero) is a former American military operative whos just finished his training in ninjutsu in Japan. During his celebration dinner, Hasagawa (Kosugi) has to bitch out and point out that yes, somewhere in the film he’s going to be a BAD GUY. 1982 94 min R Action/Adventure Feature Film.

The film opens as we meet Cole, a Vietnam war vet (they all had to be in the 80’s) who has just finished his ninja Training in the Philippines, in the most ludicrous testing scene ever, where he runs through and it looks as if he’s killed like a dozen guys (even giving a dude a throwing star to the face! To the Face!) and then, after testing is done, those very same dudes walk back in like “it’s nothing. USA, 1981, 101 minReie: Menahem GolanScn: Dick DesmondKamera: David GurfinkelHudba: W. Now if the best of its kind means an Italian-actor-who-knows-no-martial-arts-pretends-to -be-a-ninja-master-for-two-hours-and-features-the-funniest-death-scene-of-a-villain-in-the- history-of-cinema then well, yeah, it is the best of the genre. Here we get a ninja film that dares to use the “Enter The…” in its title, which now somehow means it’s the best of its kind EVER.
