Of course, you gotta give it props to Sonny Chiba and Hiroyuki Sanada and Japan Action Club. NINJA WARS and SHOGUN’s NINJA, took the genre to another level. Respect to Sanada and Chiba for doing their own stunts. This movie has the ILLEST funk/jass fusion soundtrack:
NINJA WARS has to be the trippiest ninja movie ever. Jotaro vs the 5 Devil monks
Then there’s the black coffee, straight no-chaser, F*$k your feelings Ninja series
SHINOBI NO MONO
The dude that played Momochi Sandayu(a true historical ninja) was a trip. Living a double life in 2 separate ninja clans, training rats like passenger pigeons.
