I missed Chang Cheh's signature carnality and dismemberment; then I got to the climax....

Probably one of the best purely "ninja" action movies ever made. It does look a bit aged today because of the set and gore effects but it's a shaw brothers classic that influenced quite a few video games and other movies in the genre. The action choreography is still pretty good with lots of innovative weapon fighting scenes.

Ridiculously cool and colorful ninja mayhem. There's a part in this movie where a guy gets stabbed in the guts but keeps fighting with his intestines hanging out and dragging on the ground.

All the scenes with the element ninjas are great - imaginative costumes and great fight choreography. Those damn ninjas are pretty nasty and sneaky fighters. The middle of the film drags a bit, but definitely stick around for the end. Also, the dubbing on this film is hysterically awful, but that only adds to its charm, really.
