New York Ninja (1984/2021) - a podcast by Whatever Entertainment

John Hammond has picked some classics in the past, and this week is no exception. And when we say classics, we mean movies that fit into the category of 'so bad they're good'. Originally shot in 1984, New York Ninja was never released after the distribution company went bust. But Vinegar Syndrome picked up the film, which had no audio or script to it, restored it digitally and added some serious B-Movie voice talent! Originally directed, written and starring John Liu, this one was "Re-Directed" by Kurtis M. Spieler and has the voices of Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Michael Berryman, Cynthia Rothrock, Linnea Quigley, Vince Murdocco, Matt Mitler, Leon Isaac Kennedy, and Ginger Lynn Allen.
