that was day four of the inaugural rebelle rally , a female - only navigational road rally—the first of its kind . for seven days last fall , 72 women—36 teams of two—off - roaded over 1250 miles , through two national parks and five bureau of land management areas ( government - managed public lands ) . we started in nevada ' s lake tahoe and ended in glamis , california ; in between , we rambled down dirt roads , clambered over dry riverbeds and mountain passes , and coasted over terrifyingly high sand dunes .
in which dazzler is not a team player ; longshot is the zonker harris of the x - men ; juggernaut is that guy ; rachel and miles channel statler and waldorf ; and alex summers is seriously never , ever going to finish grad school .
titled 72 milesóek pravas , the movie is based on ashok vatkar ' s autobiography . yardi says ,
the film is about a young boy who runs away from his hostel . it ' s his journey on the run , where he meets a lady and her kids and how this young lad matures from being a boy to a man .
a kilometre ( american spelling : kilometer , symbol : km ) is a unit of length equal to 1000 metres ( from the greek words khilia = thousand and metro = count / measure ) . it is approximately equal to 0 . 621 miles , 1094 yards or 3281 feet .
turn left ,
jaclyn said once we set off .
our first checkpoint should be in 13 miles .
a few minutes later , we experienced the singular thrill of spotting a green checkpoint for the first time : a mix of relief , pride , and elation that never got old .
ashvini yardi says : ' ' it was my dream to produce a period film and with 72 miles , i have had the chance to do so . this subject and the plot of the film is so thought - provoking that it forces you to completely engage in the film , connect with the characters and grow with their thought . what ' s more it ' s by the same director of jogwa which won 6 national awards . akshay and i are very proud of this project and the opportunity to be able to produce such a marvellous film . the film will definitely engage with international audiences despite the language barrier and will let them in on our heritage , our culture and a panoramic setting of post independent india . i am sure the marathi audience will be proud of this film . '
miles , i’m another submissive fan of longshot and i loved what you did in “of mullets and miracles” . too bad that i find hard to understand completely your podcasts , but i think you were talking about longshot’s underlying melancholy ( in spite of his playful and joyful nature ) , which is something i appreciate as much as the bittersweet tone of his former series . could you explain just a bit what’s your opinion about that ?
it was 4 p . m . and 90 degrees when we finally decided to give up . for hours , jaclyn and i had been inching our jeep rubicon along a dusty unmarked road in the mojave national preserve , eventually finding ourselves trapped in a high - walled canyon . we had no idea how far off course we were : two miles ? twenty ? we hadn ' t seen another human all afternoon . soon it would be dusk , then nightfall .
rachel & miles did a cold open about the recent / likely temporary retcon of how wanda and ‘silver are not magneto’s kids because of ( fox vs disney for movie rights ) and it was so absurd that when i played their riff for my husband ( a spider - man exclusive fan , mostly ) he laughed so hard he nearly suffocated , then told me all my efforts to get him into x - men were now futile . there goes half a year of effort…
miles : a mile is a most popular measurement unit of length , equal to most commonly 5 , 280 feet ( 1 , 760 yards , or about 1 , 609 meters ) . the mile of 5 , 280 feet is called land mile or the statute mile to distinguish it from the nautical mile ( 1 , 852 meters , about 6 , 076 . 1 feet ) . use of the mile as a unit of measurement is now largely confined to the united kingdom , the united states , and canada .
yes and no . rachel and miles do mention in the podcast that it’s possible that claremont was aware of the ickiness and the audience was supposed to be turned off by juggernaut’s sexism . that’s a pretty charitable reading though , given the fact that wolverine , for one , also uses the same condescending pet names for women quite frequently . and while you and i as adults can certainly find plenty of other ways in which wolverine should not be emulated , he’s clearly a heroic character and someone children are meant to look up to . obviously , using those pet names is meant to be a tough - guy shorthand that calls back to bogart and other classic film leads , but it’s pretty behind the times in the ’80s . as feminist as claremont seems to be in other places , i’m really surprised that none of the females in his life ever called wolverine out for his condescension .

akshay kumar seems to be completely influenced by regional content . so after making oh my god ! , which was based on a gujarati play , he is now working on a full fledged marathi film .
says ashwini yardi , akshay kumar ' s partner in their production house , grazing goat pictures ,
making a marathi movie was my idea . i am a maharashtrian and i wanted to do a film in my mother tongue in memory of baburao pai , my grandfather , who was one of v . shantaram ' s partners in prabhat film company in the 1920s .
set in the 50s and 60s , it has been shot entirely in satara during may and june . for the period look and feel , props like old buses and other such vehicles have been used . directed by rajeev patil of national award winning marathi film , jogwa fame , the film is currently in the post - production stages .
after this , yardi confirms tapping into the regional market with a punjabi film . the producer duo ( kumar and yardi ) aim at producing four to five movies a year , the team also looks at making films in bengali and south and are even planning to make a sequel of oh my god ! with paresh rawal .

i’m pretty sure that the bald scottish guy dazzler meets up with is meant to sean connery .
for all that i can find nostalgia in curious backwaters of continuity , i have no nostalgia for “mutant x . ” that was . . . not good .
aw , polaris . i always feel sorry for her , because i think she’s a cool character in general , but it’s ages before she ever gets a decent story where she doesn’t show up and immediately get mind controlled or go crazy ( thanks heaps , chuck austen ) i’m racking my brain trying to find a time before peter david’s x - factor run where she has any agency of her own in any story .
only tangentially related to this episode — the wildfire smoke basically blanketed large chunks of western canada this entire past week after the episode recording .
i suddenly want to go back and re - read mutant x . havoc has been one of my favourite characters since i started reading comics with peter david’s x - factor run , and i was really excited that he was basically going to get his own corner of the multiverse as his private playground .
i remember the first 12 issue arc being not terrible and having some interesting concepts — i also really liked that the universe where havoc was one of the premiere heroes was a lot more peaceful and had less mutant prejudice — but it quickly went off the rails following that story’s conclusion . perhaps not coincidentally , the book had originally only been pitched as a 12 issue mini - series , and it’s initial sales were good enough for the editors to push howard mackie to expand it into an on - going .
also , the juggernaut may be a jerk , but he’s great at being a jerk . has there been a cold open i’m forgetting explaining his powers ?
based on a couple cameo appearences ( ie rick redfern and joanie caucus in days of future past , as well as a lot of other drop ins ) the doonsbury characters exist in the marvel universe . so how many are actually mutants themselves ? i seem to recall mike doonsbury making one of his summer daydreams come true…which sounds a lot like franklin richards level reality warping to me .
so i’m curious about the view of gender identity in the dazzler / juggernaut situation . i think you’re right 90 % of the time on this . but i read this juggernaut thing really differently .
i saw it as juggernaut saying , the next person you randomly attack for no reason might kill you , especially if you insist on picking fights way outside your weight class . condescending ? totally . paternalistic ? definitely . but he’s also not wrong . had she done that with sabertooth , the beyonder , or any one of a dozen other hardcore villains , she’d be a corpse . especially if he’s a fan of the music , i can totally see him saying that .
i’m all for no - limits feminism , and there’s a lot that really troubles me about some of the sexist coding in comics . but this struck me as a small dog picking a fight with a big dog , and the big one telling him to knock it off . rather than a “womens should know their place” thing .
actually , i shouldn’t have said no reason . as you’re correct nearly taking people out with cars is horrible , still . the rest stands .
the whole thing would read as less condescending and sexist if he wasn’t calling her things like “doll” and “frail” the whole time . incidentally , was there a time in human history when people actually referred to women as “frail” ? i’ve literally never heard that time used outside of a claremont comic .
that last sentence should read “that term , ” not “that time . ” word press really needs an edit button .
touche’ sam . “frail” is pretty bad . but i think condescending is definitely supposed to be the point here . while i don’t think sexism is appropriate , from a villain like juggernaut it’s at least not a surprise . nor portrayed as something to be emulated .
yeah , this moment gave me pause too . i mean , we’re talking about what claremont intended juggernaut to express . i think he was trying to show juggernaut as a ) confused that dazzler , who is a pop singer as far as he knows , is trying to fight him – and b ) conflicted because this is someone who he really likes and has positive feelings for and she’s fighting him . he doesn’t want to hurt her .
juggernaut just wants her to stop , and to not be involved in this world . reading sexism out of it needs us to assume that claremont intended this scene to show juggernaut as a sexist . why would he suddenly do that ? he certainly hasn’t been portrayed that way up till now . or we have to assume that claremont himself is being sexist by writing “normal” dialogue which reflects his internalized misogyny . the gender politics of the x - men up to this point don’t give me much confidence in this theory .
i can easily imagine juggernaut behaving roughly the same way if he had come up against a male celebrity mutant part time superhero of whom he was a big fan .
yeah , i agree with this sentiment . i can picture him saying the same thing after beating the shit out of josh guthrie .
so you guys are getting pretty close to fall of the mutants , eh ? you’ve covered up to uncanny x - men 219 ( fall of the mutants omnibus starts at 220 ) , new mutants up to 54 ( fall starts at 55 ) , and x - factor up to 15 ( fall starts at 18 ) . obviously this event is huge , so i’m curious as to how you plan to cover it . thanks !
especially as it’s less “one big story” and more “three stories united thematically . ”
. . . i also want them to cover the daredevil issues somewhere in there , because the notion that daredevil of all books , had crossovers for this and inferno is just . . . awesome .
the fact that daredevil had crossovers is pretty self - explanatory – ann nocenti was writing daredevil at the time . however , she did a really good job at making the stories tangential . they weren’t necessary to understand the x - men world , but the backdrop usually did a good job of making the daredevil story richer . daredevil 252 ( ground zero ) is a very good example in a very nocenti - an way .
i know the background of them and the nocenti / claremont relationship and they’re loose , tangential relationship , but they’re still wonderful comics .
really enjoyable little surrealistic digressions and really go in some fun directions . inessential , sure . but nocenti gets a lot out of dd fighting a vacuum and a truck - eating dentist .
thank you for making me care for havok . i’v always seen him as rather blend character before hearing this episode . also , i would vote for this era’s psylocke any day of the weak instead of the later sexified psylocke .
magneto should not needle wanda about having grandkids , as that might lead to her rewriting all of reality again .
this episode reminded me of havok’s “how about alex” speech ( where he advocated rejecting all labels instead of being called a mutant ) . while it was certainly problematic , i thought it felt like something he would say . the character here is someone who isn’t necessarily hateful of his powers ( like rogue ) , but is someone who wants to reject all the responsibility that goes with them . his goal is normalcy . so , as long as you don’t read into the speech an editorial belief that it’s the correct thought , i thought it was a good addition to that issue .
you know , the “m - word” speech always struck me as something alex would say , too . not just because of his personality , either . he is a good - looking , white , cis - gender male who expects to be treated as an individual – not a member ( or representative ) of a “group . ” someone like that has been raised to believe that they , as an individual , are only an individual . then throw in alex’s individual psychology ( as you mention , “normalcy” being his big goal ) . then throw in his leading an avengers team , the ( nominal ) point of which was to show mutant - human cooperation ( and specifically to show how mutants were heroes just like the avengers ) and i agree that it’s a natural thing for him to say . like you say , so long as you don’t read it as the editorial position ( which didn’t occur to me on my first read of it , honestly ) , it reads as a very reasonable thing for someone with alex’s particular background , personality , and experiences to say .
“heads up– if havok’s position in ua # 5 really upset you , it’s time to drown yourself hobo piss . seriously , do it . it’s the only solution . ”
i think any attempt at subtley is out the window . ( the tweet was later deleted , but too many sites picked up on it for it to be ignored )
see also the later issue where rogue objects to havok’s comments and instead of a potentially interesting debate , it become a sequence of wanda telling rogue she’s wrong , without offering any proper justification . of course , the fact that alex can pass as a blond white guy ( and rogue and wanda are both human norm too ) gives a very” off” feel to the whole thing .
kitty’s rebuttal in either uncanny or all - new –i don’t recall which off the top of my head–remains the gold standard for on - page smackdowns as far as i’m concerned .
it is interesting to watch the different writers provide commentary via the mouths of their respective current characters to “smack down” commentary from other writers in a shared universe with which they disagree . reminds me of those “heroes texting” memes only more… fulfilling and relevant and , even , less cringe worthy ? maybe ? but when it comes to them bickering / commenting in real - life social media shit gets awkward .
oh , and in light of this sort of thing , i really find it interesting that in the pre - inferno new mutants issues where they riff with the hellions they proudly accept being called “the muties” by emma’s students .
well , i’m not arguing that the guy handles criticism well , just that it’s something that fits what alex summers would say . maybe i’m too charitable towards mr . remender , but i’m fine with the speech existing for exploring his character ( and the whole idea of mutants “passing” and how that affects mutant politics ) . and , as pointed out below , it set up kitty pryde’s rebuttal , which is also very much in character ( except that she actually managed to make a point without resorting to racial slurs this time ! ) .
i could be wrong , but i thought that there might have been some notice somewhere that places “x - men versus avengers” miniseries in the first trip to new york that havok took .
hmmm . it was coming out the same time , and according to the marvel wikia , havok and dazzler are in every issue .
i hated these issues when they came out . of course , it’s been three decades , and i’ve never wanted to reread them , so i can’t say in hindsight if it would have been better rereading with later context . but at this point :
1 ) my favorite x - men are all off the team . ( though hey , this arc was actually coming out the same time as excalibur started , meaning that i could read about many of those favorites somewhere else ! )
2 ) the characters replacing them are all characters i have no connection to whatsoever . with the possible exception of dazzler’s origin story back in the byrne days , i’d never read any comic with these characters in it before they showed up in x - men around this time . ( it does seem surprising to me that i hadn’t read anything with havok in it… does he maybe show up at scott’s wedding or something ? ) ( how cool would it have been if a couple of the new mutants had graduated up to the x - men instead ? )
3 ) these issues are just a random jumble of things . different art ( mostly dodgy ) every issue . plot that revolves around arbitrary crap happening . i mean , two issues in a row things are set off by our “heroes” being nearly run over / run off the road completely by accident ? !
4 ) twice in two issues we have the gimmick of “i recognize this from my time reading the x - men’s files . ” right…
5 ) the issues are driven by the stars acting stupidly . dazzler taking on juggernaut by himself , when he wasn’t obviously doing something dangerous ? that’s freaking insane . then there’s pretty much everything havok does . also…
6 ) wiping havok’s mind of his knowledge of meeting the x - men is completely insane and unethical . i mean , beyond the fundamental questions about wiping someone’s mind in any circumstances , isn’t the knowledge that someone has been targeting x - men and related mutants literally a matter of life and death for havok ? there’s every reason to think that he and lorna will be targets of the marauders , and of course as this issue reveals they actually are targets .
8 ) finally , the brood on earth is not a subplot you can forget about for a year ! so at the end of # 218 alex knows it’s vital to contact the x - men about the brood . at the beginning of # 219 he’s visited the x - men and had his mind erased . why didn’t he just call them ? if if alex somehow forgot to tell the x - men why he came to visit them , why didn’t betsy at least notice it in his mind when she was heavily editing it ? this is a potential extinction event for the human race , two of the heroes know about it and realize how serious it is , yet it is completely dropped without a word .
honestly , i’ve always assumed this represented some sort of editorial interference in plotting . something like “sorry chris , you’ve got to drop everything instantly and start a crossover next month ! ”
whoops , got confused about the timeline . this was still a year before excalibur , so my favorite x - men were all completely sidelined rather than appearing elsewhere .
i think plan omega’s intent was that the x - men could stop reacting to everything and begin to go after their enemies . unfortunately , it was never really stated that way and we won’t see it implemented until the australia period , with some mixed results ( i think about half of those issues were the x - men reacting to some situation ) .
when you put it like that it sounds like a good idea , but what they actually do is leave as large as possible a target for those enemies to attack and force them to react yet again . ( or just hang their friends out to dry , as they did with havok and polaris . )
a good episode that actually seems to tie these issues together than the issues themselves ever did .
coming out of the massacre into this prolonged dirge of an arc ( if it can be called that ) was the start of the issues where i started to lose interest , not only because that was a very stupid thing to ignore , but because the main x - team as they’d lost kitty and kurt and the increased focus on wolverine didn’t interest me that much . ( the casual ignoring of the space shark didn’t help as it was just too big a thing to ignore lightly )
whilst technically betsy might be captain britain’s little sister ( which you mention at least twice ) , it’d be more accurate to say she’s his twin sister , i’m not even sure who the older of the two actually is , nor by how many minutes , but someone else might i’m sure .
oh and the “let’s kill him” bit again ? ? i’ve said it before , i’ll say it again , psylocke is frighteningly keen to kill people since her introduction , generally a little too kill - happy for my tastes , or at least for someone else not to pull her up on it .
the third doctor was employed as “scientific advisor” to unit whilst stuck on earth and was officially under the brigadiers command , though the doctor cheerfully ignored him when it suited him , but respected him immensely , and the doctor has never officially resigned his position .
when the much loved actor who played the brigadier died in 2011 , the series producer and showrunner steven moffatt said in his tribute “… out of all the people the doctor has met , in all of space and time , nicholas courtney’s brigadier alistair gordon lethbridge - stewart was the only one who was ever his boss . ”
and in a later episode , the then current scientific advisor , the brigadiers daughter kate , says of the 12th doctor ; “welcome to the only planet in the universe where we get to say this : he’s on the payroll . ”
sorry , i’ve been a doctor who nerd a lot longer than i’ve been an x - men nerd . i’ll try to get it out of my system before your excalibur coverage starts .
marvel has a pretty spotty history with scientist characters , but sometimes they really hit something dead - on . havok and polaris as phd students who only want to be left alone to do their research , but instead have to constantly deal with real - world crises and being possessed , is such a perfect plot set - up for me . i wish it had been explored further ( or revisited in a drs . havok and polaris secret wars miniseries ) .
i just got back from pax prime and am still catching up on work , but i’d like to write a piece for the blog about exactly that sometime . keep an eye out ; hopefully i’ll get to that before too long ! ( and thanks for asking ! )
i hope it will at least take a moment to have a jerry seinfeld style “what’s the deal with ultimate longshot ? ” because i’m still trying to recover from that .
it was a radical upside - down , indeed . i’ve got to admit i liked him a lot , though –so shocking !
oh , man . we are now up to where i started collecting x - books on my own , instead of borrowing from a friend . – the havok issue was the first one i bought for myself , and it made a halfway decent jumping - on point . this , x - factor 17 and whatever issue of classic x - men came out that month ( think it was the reprint of 99 ) were where i started , and ran straight through until the 90s happened to the entire line .
i didn’t get to these issues until i was far down the rabbit hole of x - men addiction ; actually i think i got them as reprints of “sabertooth classic” in the ’90s… ick… but getting to my point , the bit about psylocke suggesting they just outright murder alex always struck me as the most important bit for this period . her transformation in “acts of vengeance” just seems to be a natural progression over the post “massacre” era that her battle with creed hinted at , but truly came to the fore , with this arc .
i have also noticed her brother , brian , was a bit of an epic , hard drinkin’ fist full o’ assholes around this time in excalibur . toss in jamie and we have an extremely interesting dynamic of a family of mostly heroes that is still , generally , a bunch of jerks . their interactions with the summers clan has depths that have shamefully not yet been explored .
…and sorry to keep commenting but this is totally an amazing piece of david wynne’s art and just listened to his spots on fantasticast . fuckin’ love that dude and thank you all for introducing me to his work
just realized i put this in the as mentioned in thread by accident . powers that be , feel free to delete that ! ( sorry . )
psylocke’s suggestion that havok needs to be killed is pretty bonkers . ( havok is an auxiliary x - man and she presents basically no good reason for killing him ! ) despite that , it seems to indicate an interesting mandate for the character that claremont never totally got around to fleshing out : that despite those prissy pink pajamas she’s meant to be ruthlessly pragmatic and actually kind of shady . we’ll see this expressed again again from time to time — like when she mentally pushes the team through the siege perilous against their wills– but it never quite develops into a real story . ( this , to me , is related to but separate from the more often explored but somewhat less interesting notion that she longs to be more physically imposing . )
the dark turn the book seems to be taking at this point is actually pretty exciting on an issue by issue basis . it’s too bad that it 1 ) ends up amounting to not all that much and 2 ) makes hardly any sense if you think about it too hard .
i think juggernaut’s skull - cap first appeared in marvel team - up # 150 , which was also the last issue of that run of the series . the story has juggy giving black tom the crystal gym of cyttorak and tom not appreciating becoming all big and juggernauty . it’s set while rachel was still on the team as just rachel , not phoenix . haven’t read it in ages , and sadly it’s not available on marvel unlimited .
the juggernaut secondary skull - cap actually made its first appearance in marvel team - up # 150 ( which happens to be my first exposure to an x - men story ever ! woot ) . it’s actually quite ingenious . since his helmet is the one thing protecting him from those pesky telepaths and every battle with the x - men essentially boils down to everyone trying to get his helmet off so that a telepath can knock him down , why not provide an added level of protection , with a second , even more tightly fitted helmet underneath the first one ? 🙂
if you havent read this mtu story , you should , i think it also bleeds into the main book continuity at some point . in this story rogue absorbs juggernaut’s powers turning into juggerrogue , which i distinctly remember getting referenced later on .

in our experience , update lag on stitcher is pretty unpredictable ; and unfortunately , there’s pretty much nothing we can do about that from our end . if you’re concerned about getting episodes as soon as they comes out , we’d recommend downloading them directly from urltoken or feeding the following link into any podcatcher : http : / / www . urltoken / xmen / ? cat = 23 .
( honestly , we post to stitcher because folks have requested , and because–aside from initial setup–it’s no extra work , but if you’re not already wed to it , we would recommend finding a different podcatcher . we get more complaints about bugs on stitcher than every other platform put together , by a very wide margin . )
rebelle rally : driving in the u . s . ' s only all - female endurance road race
i competed in america ' s first all - female endurance road rally . i ' d never even changed a tire .
we were lost . not can you pull up google maps ? lost , or do we still have a road atlas somewhere ? lost . no , we were are we in california or nevada ? lost ; thank god we have emergency supplies lost ; this landscape would be gorgeous if it weren ' t so apocalyptic lost . the jeep ' s gps system had been disabled , and our phones and laptops were turned off and sealed in envelopes . we had a collection of specialized large - scale topographical maps , but to figure out where you are on a topo map ( a relief map that shows a region ' s geographical features ) , you have to know how to read it . i was supposed to be the better topo reader in our pair , and i could barely pick out the most prominent landmarks . if coyotes or unfriendly strangers appeared , we ' d be completely , royally screwed .
we sat in the jeep with the air conditioning on high , eating sugary energy chews and gulping down coconut water .
this all called for a set of navigation skills no one uses anymore—unless you ' re a sailor or a fifth grader prepping for a social studies test .
throughout the course , 140 checkpoints were hidden behind broken - down mine shacks , just beyond hairpin turns , deep inside mountain crevices , and sometimes , blessedly , directly on the route . large green flags marked the easiest - to - find checkpoints ; smaller blue flags identified intermediate ones . black checkpoints , the most difficult to find , weren ' t marked at all . each was worth a certain number of points . the goal : rack up as many as possible .
every morning we were given a list of checkpoints to find that day ( one day there ' d be 12 ; another day , 22 ) , defined solely by their latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates . we had to plot them on our topo maps , then use geometry to strategize how to get from one to the next . this all called for a set of navigation skills no one uses anymore—unless you ' re a sailor or a fifth grader prepping for a social studies test . we weren ' t allowed phones , gps , or outside help . kind of like an adult female eagle scouts on steroids , or survivor meets the amazing race in the american west .
the automotive world is notoriously male - dominated , making a women - only motorsports event revolutionary . ( there are a few all - women rallies and races scattered across the globe , out of hundreds of annual motorsports events overall ; the rebelle is the only one in the u . s . )
i ' ve been in races where i was the only woman driving ,
the rebelle ' s founder , 50 - year - old emily miller , told me .
i ' ve had people recommend i wear a tight pink race suit .
miller grew up between arkansas and colorado , skiing , biking , and reading her father ' s car magazines . in her 30s , she launched a sports marketing firm and started to race cars and teach at racing and off - roading schools . when creating the rebelle—which took three years of planning , 40 bureau of land management permits , and 60 staffers to pull off—miller combined her favorite aspects of the rallies and races she ' d participated in over the years .
she was determined to create an event where women could test their mettle .
most automotive events are designed from a man ' s perspective ,
miller said , meaning that they ' re usually speed races , where the goal is to get from point a to b as fast as possible . but the rebelle isn ' t a race , she reminded us daily . it demanded endurance , accurate navigation , and communication .
women excel in endurance events ,
she explained .
women think about the rules and the challenge . they want to win , but they ' re not there to prove how fast they can go .
my team ' s combined experience was…limited .
winning
never crossed our minds ; we just hoped to finish without killing the jeep—or one another . my teammate , jaclyn trop , is an auto reporter who reviews luxury cars , but we both quickly realized that her professional expertise didn ' t translate into real - world driving and car maintenance knowledge . while she knows her way around a racetrack , she didn ' t know how to read a map .
naïve enthusiasm seemed like a perfectly legitimate qualification to enter a highly - detailed endurance event requiring a complex venn diagram of skills i didn ' t possess .
not that i know anything about cars . i can sort of drive a stick shift , and sort of change a tire . i ' d signed up for the rebelle rally because tooling around isolated southwestern back roads is one of my all - time favorite activities , something i discovered during the six years i lived in far west texas . ( aimless desert driving is terrible for the environment , but good for the soul . )

power rangers ninja storm is an kid com that trades in the usual high school setting for a secret ninja academy , as well as an affectionate parody of other power rangers seasons .
an exception was made with ninja yellow from ninja sentai kakuranger , whose american counterpart ( the yellow alien ranger ) was also male , although the alien rangers were not used that much .
power rangers ninja storm : the three least competent students at a secret ninja academy  themselves the only sane man ( shane ) , a surfer ( tori ) , and comic book nerd ( dustin )  a pair of formerly brainwashed and crazy brothers from a rival ninja academy , and the deadpan snarker mission control . oh , and the mentor is a ninja guinea pig .
elaborate underground base : zeo , turbo , ninja storm , dino thunder , and operation overdrive .
in both the film and the arcade game a man ' s body and soul are stolen and used as part of a demon ' s castle . what ' s left becomes a cyber - ninja named shiranui .
non - serial movie : mighty morphin power rangers the movie , completely overridden by mighty morphin ' season 3 episodes 4 - 7 . the 2017 film is outside the tv series canon entirely , being a film - geared reboot instead .
great movie , if you enjoy this sort of thing . the special effects were the main emphasis of the whole film .
winner of the best film of the year in the takasaki film festival , this powerful japan - cuba co - production is based on the true story of freddy maemura hurtado , a nikkei born to a father from kagoshima and a bolivian mother .
the 15 classic martial - arts films feature some of the best ninja action ever put to screen .
character designs and directing of the film were done by keita amemiya of zeiram and kamen rider fame . both the game and the movie were released in the same year . oddly enough , despite the arcade game being released only in japan , the film was released outside of japan in an english straight - to - video release under the title cyber ninja .
a new film , boruto : naruto the movie ( temporary title ) , will be released in august 2015 . [ 91 ]

what do you think was the greatest ninja movie ever made ? let us know in the comments section .
token trio : though ninja storm and rpm switched it up by having the minority male be the leader .
power rangers 2017 is a continuity reboot film produced by saban brands and lionsgate , going back to the original mmpr characters and premise .
the movie is the first film to be an official part of the naruto storyline , set during the timeskip that occurs between chapters 699 and 700 . in an advertisement published along with the final two chapters , the film was officially dubbed chapter
699 . 5 .
after a peace loving japanese immigrant and his family become victims of a crime syndicate , a master ninja emerges .
ascended fanboy : crops up from time to time since ninja storm , though justin of turbo was the first .
ninja storm had storm chargers , the sporting goods store where dustin ( and later hunter and blake ) works .
alternately known as the
baby cart
series , one of the most famous samurai movie franchises of all time began with this film ; which features ninja as primary antagonists and inspired the graphic novel ( and tom hanks hitman movie ) road to perdition .
canon films followed their moneymaking b - grade ninja hits enter the ninja and revenge of the ninja with this third
spiritual sequel
in a series unified only by the presence of sho kosugi in ( unrelated ) supporting roles . this is the strangest of the three , and therefore widely considered to be the
best
of the lot .
a man’s body and soul are stolen and used as part of a demon castle . what’s left becomes cyber ninja .
this deeply moving fantasy - drama , based on keigo higashino’s best - selling novel , was nominated for 10 japanese academy awards including best film .
character designs and directing of the film were done by keita amemiya of zeiram and kamen rider fame . both the game and the movie were released in the same year . oddly enough , despite the arcade game being released only in japan , the film was released overseas by orion pictures in straight - to - video releases under the titles cyber ninja ( in united states ) and warlord ( in canada ) .
the cyber ninja - a master warrior , named shiranui , who was captured by the evil forces and transformed into a boosted fighting machine . not very ninja - ish , but you can hardly blame me for the movie ' s title .
cyber ninja :
do not stand in my way . i have come to take back my body and soul .
at the end of winter — a character cd song sung by nana mizuki , the japanese voice actress of hinata , was released with this film .
a bizarre mash - up of ninja and exorcist movie tropes , the plot concerns a woman who becomes possessed by the spirit of a dead ninja , which forces her to commit martial - arts murders against her will . james hong tries to help as a chinese exorcist , but the task of setting things right ultimately falls to kosugi , as a good ninja who can expel the evil through a ritual fair duel . there ' s nothing else quite like it , even in the ninja genre .
, the ninja in his village who is acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all . the series is based on a
the soon - to - be karate kommando stars as a ninjutsu - trained former karate champ conscripted to help fight a terrorist cell that turns out to be a ninja clan whose ranks include his japanese ninja
blood brother
( tadashi yamashita ) and can only be infiltrated by surviving a deadly obstacle course called
the octagon .
generic plot aside , it ' s a thoroughly entertaining actioner with excellent ninja scenes , often credited with kicking off the
ninja craze
in low - budget ' 80s action cinema .
the movie met with largely negative reviews from western film critics . it currently holds a 44 %
rotten
approval rating on rotten tomatoes . [ 4 ]
the 2009 hi - definition event of the wizard of oz spoiled many of the scenes from the film during the documentary shown before it , including the ending .
ho films are often interchangeable , but ninja fantasy ( also released as twinkle ninja fantasy and empire of the ninjas ) remains one of his more easily - identifiable and well - known efforts — particularly thanks to an infamous sequence wherein a blue - clad ninja battles a swarm of red - suited attackers who sneak up on him and his lady friend on a secluded beach by transforming into fish . ho may have been a master cynic , a gonzo outsider - artist , or both , but his bizarre fight scenes have an unmistakable energy to them , and his signature penchant for skittles - colored ninja costuming has influenced everything from teenage mutant ninja turtles to mortal kombat .
when low - budget ninja movies were at peak popularity in the u . s . , japanese actor and martial - artist sho kosugi shot to b - movie stardom on the basis of memorable appearances in canon films ' so - called
ninja trilogy
( enter the ninja , revenge of the ninja and ninja iii : the domination ) and being a
real - life
ninja . . . in as much as he ' s reputed to have extensively studied ninjutsu along with karate ( shindō jinen - ryū school ) , kendo , judo , iaido , kobudo and aikido . he also had onscreen charisma to spare , and got to demonstrate it in pray for death — one of the rare american martial - arts films of the era that placed asian characters at the center of their own story .
the mockbuster paranormal entity takes this to extremes . three minutes into the film , it is revealed that the protagonist ' s sister is dead , he went to jail for her murder , he hung himself , and then his mother ( who got possessed ) hung herself too . the remaining 87 minutes of the film are pointless .
sometime in the distant future , the suwabeh clan is losing their war against the lord of darkness and his army of mechanical ninja . so the text informs us , but it is followed by a confusing stream of film . most of the suwabeh warriors are outfitted with samurai swords , though both sides have laser weapons and battlemechs . to add more entropy to the mix , the mecha ninja shoot laser bolts that transform into shuriken upon impact .
film that was released on december 6 , 2014 in japanese theatres . it was made to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the franchise as well as the first instalment of the
scott adkins ( soon to be seen in doctor strange ) is the most dynamic western martial - arts star working on the b - movie scene today , beloved by fans of hardcore action for the two undisputed sequels and universal soldier : the reckoning . but while the original ninja was a largely forgettable affair outside of adkins ' bone - crushing fight scenes , ninja : shadow of a tear is a bonafide ninja classic .
we don ' t have enough data to suggest any movies based on cyber ninja . you can help by rating movies you ' ve seen .
as befits professional killers paid to undertake what would today be called
black ops
missions , little is recorded of actual ninja activity in japanese history . rather , the world mainly came to know of them through chinese historical - fiction ( the word
ninja
itself is an early middle chinese translation of the kanji 忍者 ; which is read as
shinobi
in japanese ) , where ninja were popularized as an example of treacherous , dishonorable behavior to be expected of japanese villains . this , of course , made them a popular villain for the originally chinese - centric martial - arts film genre as well . and when so - called
kung - fu movies
exploded in popularity worldwide in the ' 70s and ' 80s , the ninja legend exploded right along with it .
cs : what were some of the influences on the look of the action , was it hong kong action movies or samurai movies ? was there any things specifically you looked at that you wanted reflected in your movie ? mcteigue : ah , yeah , you know , see i was interested in almost making a black and white film in color , like having that super high contrasted look . like some of the older films were like kurosawa films but then i also looked at a bunch of film noir like
panic in the streets .
i remember when naomi came on board , i showed her a bunch of disparate films like
the getaway
and
badlands
but i also showed her
ninja scroll
which is an animated thing i really liked . i showed her
samurai champloo
which i think is a great anime , so i was trying to fold those kinds of elements into the film , and some of the classic ninja films from the ' 80s . the lorded - up ninja films like
shinobi non mono
which is a great version . it ' s the classic ninja film i guess . cs : for some reason , i just assumed that this movie was optioned from some japanese anime i ' d never heard of . mcteigue : no , it ' s an original thing , an original story .
during its first weekend , the last earned ¥515 million ( us $ 4 . 35 million ) . the film has grossed ¥1 . 29 billion after three weekends . by the end of december 2014 , the film had earned about ¥1 . 75 billion ( us $ 14 . 76 million ) and it was closed with 2 billion ( us $ 16 million ) earning .
the aforementioned godfrey ho has at least 115 known films to his credit , so don ' t be too surprised to see him turn up on this list twice . ninja terminator is often regarded as ho ' s
best
ninja movie and is certainly the most quintessential , as it features some of the best action ( thanks largely to underused martial arts actor richard lam ) the most coherent storyline ( a quest to collect three pieces of a gold statue said to grant ultimate ninja power ) and the presence of b - movie star richard harrison — often thought of as
the
godfrey ho ninja actor .
zords in particular have been saddled with repeat names ; we have two sets each of dinozords ( mighty morphin season 1 and dino thunder ) , thunderzords ( mighty morphin season 2 and ninja storm ) , ninjazords ( mighty morphin season 3 and ninja storm ) , rescuezords ( turbo and lightspeed rescue ) , and omegazords ( lightspeed rescue and spd ; though the latter is properly the omega max megazord ) , plus two different dragonzords ( mighty morphin and ninja steel ) .
at the end of the film screening in japan , it was announced that a new movie featuring naruto and hinata ' s son , boruto uzumaki , would premiere on august 7 , 2015 .
even in a future day — a character cd song sung by junko takeuchi , the japanese voice actress of naruto , was released with the special edition dvd and blu - ray releases of the film .
the german version of the who ' s tommy has an opening narration that states
tommy can not be dubbed !
in this exact words . the narrator then proceeds to give an overview of the film ' s plot which means he gives away every plot twist until the very last moment of the film as if he was reading the synopsis off of wikipedia . the narration also plays over the first two minutes of the film where tommy ' s parents meet until the start of the war and cancels out any music . then the movie proceeds with subtitles , making the inclusion of the narrator completely pointless .
on december 6 , 2014 , a new movie , the last : naruto the movie , was released . canonical to the franchise , the film tells the story of naruto and his companions two years after chapter 699 of the manga trying to stop the moon from colliding with earth . as with road to ninja , the script and character designs were created by masashi kishimoto .
season 2 of mighty morphin power rangers combined footage from kyoryu sentai zyuranger , specially filmed footage and gosei sentai dairanger . season 3 added ninja sentai kakuranger into this mix .
this is dvdrip of japanese release so it ' s in japanese with no subs . but anyone willing to sub would be cool . seems to be a much better film in it ' s raw form .
the host : naruto the cd — a drama cd about a new mission arising under the orders of the sixth hokage , was included with the special edition dvd and blu - ray releases of the film .
robot buddy : alphas 5 and 6 for the zordon era plus lost galaxy , circuit in time force , ric in spd , tensou in megaforce , and redbot in ninja steel . ninja storm ' s cyber cam might fit by proxy , since he ' s a computer - generated duplicate of cam , but pretty solid for a holographic counterpart .
cut to a helmeted warrior slicing up mecha ninja like they were pitiful opponents . this is our cyber ninja , though from what i can tell , the body is completely robotic with an electronic imprint of the man ' s brain . he is neither quiet nor stealthy , nor does he possess other assassin qualities - he ' s more like a robotic samurai . akagi meets the mysterious fighter and bars him from traveling through territory where
only humans are allowed .
the cyber ninja seems to shrug before wandering off .
despite having originated in japan , the way the global popular culture imagines ninja is based almost entirely on their portrayal in chinese martial - arts films . shaolin challenges ninja ( alternately titled heroes of the east and challenge of the ninja ) is one of the all time classics of the genre — directed by the legendary lau kar - leung ( the 36th chamber of shaolin , master of the flying guillotine , my young auntie , drunken master ii ) and starring gordon liu ( kill bill , the eight - diagram pole fighter ) .
viewed today it ' s more of a curiosity item , a chance for martial - arts fans to see ninja presented in peckinpah ' s more
grounded
western style ( no wirework , no exaggerate sound - effects , no invincibility to gunfire ) , though some may be disappointed to discover that when killer elite ' s ninja do finally make their appearance , they don ' t exactly rate the proper respect from the main ( western ) cast . instead , the film treats them more as a deadly ( but hardly terrifying ) part of the japanese characters ' strange /
exotic
cultural quirks . regardless , at the time , seeing kung - fu / grindhouse fixture like ninja sharing the screen with major hollywood stars was something entirely new and exciting .
) from previous seasons ) . also introduced the only completely american team morph , the ninja ranger powers , which were an intermediate mode between civilian and full - up ranger powers .
the case of ninja steel is debatable , however , as the rangers had to travel back in time on the dino charge finale to stop earth from being swallowed by a wormhole .
director fushihara’s delicate , charming documentary won the kinema jumpo best film of the year ( cultural section ) and tells the story of 90 - year - old architect shuichi tsubata and his 87 - year - old wife hideko .

one of the all - time great ninja - centric action movies and easily one of the best original james bond films . . . if you can manage to look past all the incredibly uncomfortable ( even by james bond standards ) racism — which is easier said than done in a film whose central plot element is that sean connery can
become japanese
with some skin - darkening makeup and black hair dye . yeesh .
director and character designer keita amamiya ' s feature film directorial debut . though the plot resembles
star wars
a bit , the samurai action styled film is the furthest thing from period films envisioned by akira kurosawa whose films inspired the george lucas blockbuster . in amamiya ' s unique and bizarre world , samurais in feudal japan are armed with laser weapons , and they fight villains who ' d feel right at home in the
mighty morphin power rangers
movies .
the 1995 and 2017 movies subvert this by having the suits made of pvc and metal plating to give them more of an armor - like feel ( and in the 2017 film it ' s explicitly designated as

reverse cerebus syndrome : ninja storm brought a level of silliness and self - awareness back to the series ( though not quite to the level of mighty morphin ) . samurai does this in contrast to rpm ' s darker elements .
like so many other ninja - adjacent films in the genre , the plot concerns an annual international martial - arts contest capped off with ceremonial duel for national pride between the greatest swordsmen of china and japan . but while the two main combatants face their inner demons during the journey to the tournament , other masters making the same trip are being systematically abducted by ninjas as part of a sinister japanese scheme to steal the secrets of chinese kung - fu . the film is today best remembered for its innovative swordfighting scenes , where combatants

for aerial attacks by sweeping their swords under their feet and kicking - off to stay airborne , but back in the day , it was the new - school ninja action that set off the chatter .
in the film adaptation of eragon , along with being almost nothing like the book , the audience is informed of the fact that arya is a princess during the opening narration and plot set up . a fact that readers didn ' t find out about until halfway through the second book .

samurai also has armored versions for megazord piloting , to match the toys created to only sorta resemble the show ' s outfits when it was thought there wouldn ' t be a new american season . dino charge and ninja steel followed suit .

judging from what ' s left of it , the original movie showed some visual flair in its sets and costumes , although the miniatures and optical effects are mostly rudimentary . whatever it was before macek got his hands on it , the film is still no match for contemporary hong kong - produced fantasy action
sam peckinpah ? one of the greatest action filmmakers of all time , made a ninja movie ? ! with james caan , robert duvall and burt young ? ? ! ! for action junkies it sounds too good to be true . . . and unfortunately it is . this fairly by - the - numbers thriller about a team of veteran mercenaries protecting a japanese diplomat doesn ' t rate as one of the legendary tough - guy director ' s best , and isn ' t a particularly enthralling ninja feature , but it ' s a solid movie and a landmark for ninja fans as one of the first mainstream american feature films to give the shadow - assassins a
realistic
presentation — albeit one confined mostly to the extended shipyard - brawl finale .
and one - offs like cool boards ( in space ) , big badass rigs ( ninja storm and dino thunder ) , an awesome personnel carrier ( spd ) , rocket rides ( mystic force ) , and a cool plane ( operation overdrive ) .

nobody did more to make ninja a fixture of video store shelves in the ' 80s ( but also targets of ridicule and parody ) than enigmatic hong kong producer / director godfrey ho , believed to have been behind over 80 films between 1980 and 1990 under a litany of assumed names , including godfrey hall , benny ho , ho chi - mou , ed woo , stanley chan , ho fong and more . nearly all of his films featured the word
ninja
somewhere in the title and were created by editing newly - shot fight scenes featuring colorfully - costumed ninja into ( unrelated ) pre - existing low - budget films from thailand , the philippines , and elsewhere in asia , and then using english - language dubbing to ( loosely ) tie the scenes together with an entirely new plot .
it is the 1960s and film was losing its status as “the king of entertainment” to tv , a change triggered by the televised wedding of the crown prince . aspiring young director kenji dreams of making films and spends his days at his favourite theatre , the romance gekijo , watching old black - and - white films . he’s particularly infatuated with princess miyuki , a character from a forgotten film . one night lightning strikes the theatre and the princess miraculously steps off the screen and into kenji’s world . still in black and white , kenji takes her out to introduce her to the beauty of color : rainbows , blue skies , purple wisteria flowers and red roses .
too bad , since it features the best bond ( connery ) , the best bond villain ( donald pleasance as ernst stavro blofeld ) , the best bond villain lair ( a rocket - launch base hidden inside a hollowed - out volcano ) and the best bond finale action sequence ; with 007 leading an army of ninja to storm the volcano base . it even has one of the sharpest screenplays of the connery era , thanks to roald dahl ( really ! ) on adaptation duties . too bad the film ' s second act ( built around the
japanified
bond ) is so profoundly uncomfortable .
it was followed by legend of the stone of gelel , which was released in theaters in japan on august 6 , 2005 . the film involves naruto , shikamaru and sakura during a ninja mission in which they are involved in a war between the sunagakure village and a large number of armored warriors .

[ 81 ]
believe it or not , japanese pop - culture remains less consistently fascinated with ninja than the west , and especially neighboring china , but the subject enjoys intermittent bouts of public fascination , particularly in the realm of manga , anime , and historical - fantasy novels . shinobi : heart under blade is an adaptation of one such novel , futaro yamada ' s the koga ninja scrolls , a fictionalized dramatization of a feud between the koga and iga clans at the dawn of the tokugawa shogunate that also served as the basis for the anime series basilisk .
in the film horsemen ( starring dennis quaid ) , ziyi zhang has second billing in the opening credits . even if you didn ' t recognize the name , the fact that she ' s the only asian actor in the movie gives away the fact that her character is more than she seems to be when she is first introduced .
pictures . further compromised by atrocious dubbing , the story now makes little sense , with major plot elements ( like the kidnapping of the princess ) omitted altogether . the lengthy action sequences are clumsily staged and totally unbelievable . in sum , cyber ninja is a nearly unmatchable mess .
the only morphers that don ' t fall under either category are in mighty morphin ( belt buckles ) , ninja storm ( an amulet ball for the sixth ranger ) , jungle fury ( sunglasses for the core trio ) , rpm ( flight sticks for the sixth rangers ) , megaforce ( handheld card reader - things for the core team ) , dino charge ( guns ) , and ninja steel ( giant shuriken ) . the sixth ranger ' s morpher being very different most of the time often means someone will fit into this category if not everyone .
, and , for the first time ever , he also exercised complete editorial supervision , while the script was written by maruo kyōzuka . this film is said to be a love story by the manga author , given how he always wanted to write one . as such , its tagline is
the last episode ; a first love
(
/ 未来忍者 ) . what i didn’t know about cyber ninja was that it is probably the first example of a feature length video game commercial , a much too - long advertisement for a namco arcade game that never made its way into american pizza parlors and miniature golf course arcades .
storming the castle : not as often as the reverse all your base are belong to us , but it happens . as noted above , zeo and jungle fury used this in place of all your base for their finales , and ninja storm and dino thunder used both at once .
fleeting demographic rule : the seasonal themes ; recycled ones include dinosaurs ( eleven years between the first season of mighty morphin and dino thunder , ten between dino thunder and dino charge ) , ninjas ( eight years between the third season of mighty morphin and ninja storm , 14 between ninja storm and ninja steel ) , animals ( six years between wild force and jungle fury ) and cool cars ( twelve years between turbo and rpm ) . also , we had rangers - as - public / civil servants in lightspeed rescue ( 2000 ) and themes around time and space in time force ( 2001 ) — spd would be aired in 2005 and its seasonal theme is arguably a combination of those two ( and although the events are in space is alluded to here for normalizing relations between earthlngs and non - earthlings , it is relatively minor theme - wise ) .
naruto video games have appeared on various consoles from nintendo , sony and microsoft . most of them are fighting games in which the player controls one of a select few characters directly based upon their counterparts in the naruto anime and manga . the player pits their character against another character controlled by the game’s ai or by another player , depending on the mode that the player is in . the objective is to reduce the opponent’s health to zero using basic attacks and special techniques unique to each character that are derived from techniques they use in the naruto anime or manga . [ 109 ] the very first naruto video game was naruto : konoha ninpōchō , which was released in japan on march 27 , 2003 , for the wonderswan color . [ 110 ] most naruto video games have been released only in japan . the first games released outside japan were the naruto : gekitou ninja taisen series and the naruto : saikyou ninja daikesshu series , released in north america under the titles of naruto : clash of ninja and naruto : ninja council . [ 111 ] [ 112 ] in january 2012 , namco bandai announced that they have sold 10 million naruto games worldwide . [ 113 ]
after seeing a tea ceremony , misogi and what appears to be ninja training , alice remarks that all of the activities look quite interesting . in the background , a trainee manages to take flight on a kite , a callout to the book “koga ninjutsu gokuhi” , where genzo hattori , a ninja , infiltrated a castle to torch it by means of descending unto it via a kite . this sounds perfect for a mythbusters episode , and it is likely the myth would be busted , since a kite is inherently difficult to maneuver and unlikely to generate enough lift to slow a person’s descent .

despite being introduced as shredder ' s lieutenants , chris bradford and xever are strangely absent from the intro of teenage mutant ninja turtles ( 2012 ) . instead , shredder is shown standing with the mutants dogpound and fishface . no prizes for guessing what ' s going to happen to bradford and xever .

harrison , a veteran of the gladiator and
spaghetti western
genres who once joked that his
greatest contribution to cinema
was turning down a fistful of dollars and recommending clint eastwood for the role instead , was paid to shoot what he thought was a small number of ninja movies for ho while working in hong kong . only discovering later that , through ho ' s cut - and - paste editing , he had
starred
in over a dozen z - grade ninja movies , which would later be said to have ruined his reputation as an actor but are today amongst his most widely - known work .

other violations of the limit include two kats and a katie ( mmpr - turbo , spd , and time force respectively ) , two mikes ( lost galaxy and samurai ) , and two hayleys ( dino thunder and ninja steel ) . incidentally , both

the company is joined by mr . cyber ninja while storming the entrance to caves under the castle . one fight follows another in this movie and the few times the characters speak it does little for development . in this way the movie resembles any number of power ranger type television shows or video games . imagine that .
fan film : a hollywood - quality fan film simply entitled power / rangers was released in early 2015 with swearing , graphic violence and sexual content . with its high production values and known actors ( katee sackhoff and james van der beek ) and skirted close to copyright infringement . ( all fan - created content offered to the public is technically illegal regardless of earning money from it , except in cases of parody and / or review . most are ignored because of the quality of the product and futility of chasing down every piece of fan fiction or fan art . the movie was good enough that it could be mistaken for an official production and especially because of the graphic content , it could have hurt the brand ' s image . saban had the movie taken down in short order .
carl macek , president of the santa monica - based streamline pictures , has done some valuable work in importing japanese animated films for us audiences . what he ' s done here , however , as
english language adaptation producer and director
of cyber ninja , is a joke . much in the manner of k . gordon
but more importantly for our purposes , it reshaped the way ninja were presented in the genre for decades . color - coded uniforms were out , black pjs were back and small teams were replaced by a surplus of infinitely - renewing foot soldiers swarming over action scenes like human fire - ants — and that was just the beginning .
