KFEB 1001: Ninja, The Violent Sorcerer - a podcast by Stan, Jack, Jim, Nic and Brad

Do You Believe in Magic? Season 10 kicks off with Ninja The Violent Sorcerer, an early VHS-era film from Hong Kong legend Godfrey Ho! Also called Ninja in the Killing Field, this magical ninja flick is a weird and wild start to a season of magic-filled films!



Stephen Baker/Barker/Parker (his name is random through the film) is aided by the magic of Taoist Collins, an expert in keung si, to cheat his way into becoming the Gambling King. He challenges Myer, a gambling master to a card game with their lives as the stakes, and wins by cheating. Even though Stephen cheated, Myer keeps his word and shoots himself, much to the consternation of his son, Leslie (and can we pause for a second to ponder that one of the tough guy characters is named Leslie?)



Rose Myer, the ghost of Myer's wife, individually comes to her brothers-in-law, Roger (a ninja in white), and Ken (a ninja in green, who also disguises himself as a keung si and a Taoist priest at various points) and wants her husband's death avenged. Collins sends his keung si after the two of them, while Leslie Myer and his father's best friend seek out the help of James Webber, a master gambler who became an alcoholic after losing. After Leslie calls him a coward, Webber agrees to help, but not alone. He recruits his friend Anna, who we find participating in a bar fight, and his friends Ricky and Lily, working as a stuntman and a pyrotechnician on a movie, respectively. These three combine their fighting and gambling prowess to send dice flying into walls and so forth.



At least, that's what IMdb tells us happened, but honestly any summary seems like a guess. 



As always, the KFEB hosts provide ratings for the films that are based on the fun, enjoyment, and craziness of the film. These scores are tabulated and an on-going grid will keep you up to date with the search.

So sit back and enjoy the laughs as KFEB dives into the boogaloo film with the most Mad Libs-style title so far!
