Count me in as a victim of the “mass dream” referred to in the excised Wiki Lore section about this movie only recently re-released in un-remastered form by the Warner Archive. (To no editor’s credit, the new page now includes the name of an online review series as part of its title.) I really ought to stick to my lessons about plumbing the past, but the results can sometimes be interesting: the visual in my mind all these years of Carl Weathers being dragged by 浦島太郎’s turtle had been from a different angle. 22-year-old Connie Sellecca might’ve seeded our generation’s response to Kristin Kreuk, whose Chun Li burn might actually make it to the player if only she wouldn’t try to act. And that bit of the soundtrack which immediately struck me as being hijacked by the Shaw Bros. had me fast-forwarding through four more DVD’s last night, without any conclusion other than Super Ninjas has one helluva ending.
