Where to begin.. well..let's glance at the meaingless taglines shall we. 'The ultimate super-hero of the future has arrived.' Ok, so he's not in the future then. He's arrived. He's here.. whatever, this makes my head hurt. Also, 'Tonight, he's deadlier than ever..' Implying..what? Yesterday he was trying to fight crime from a bath? With his hands taped together? With a sock over his head? Yeah, he was awful yesterday.. today however! Ohhh baby!
Then there's the artwork itself. Sweet jesus, look at that thing. Looks like it was cribbed from the 'Trancers' box artwork by some blind half-wit with barely functioning hand to eye coordination. The 'Shredder' style blades coupled with the muddly, fingerless fist..the sci-fi type hockey mask face. Truly bad. Truly awful. Well, perhaps the plot is good?
IMDB Synopsis: Leonard Miller is a frustrated artist. His publisher and his agent are out to capitalize on the blooming success of "Robot Ninja," the greatest costumed superhero since Batman! One night, Miller witnesses the brutal rape/murder of a young couple at the hands of ruthless thugs. He cries out for revenge! With the help of an inventor friend, Dr. Goodknight, Miller becomes the Robot Ninja, stalking the dark streets of Ridgway, intent on spilling some blood! The only thing stopping him is a remorseful Goodknight and a frustrated local cop that's always just one step behind him. ROBOT NINJA slashes, stabs, guts, pokes and jabs his way through body after body until his final confrontation with head baddie Sanchez. You'll never see comic books the same way again!
Ok. So it's a gore fest then? Hmm, seems something like 'Robot Ninja' could haven been something a little more kitsch and fun.. but that's only the synopsis...perhaps it's an undiscovered cult gem?
Oh. Ok. Seen the movie? Know something about it? Drop a comment below.
