NINJA III: THE DOMINATION, despite being number three after The Cannon Group's previous NINJA flicks — that needn't watching to jump on board here — stands, flips, jumps, tumbles and
kicks on its very own merit...
With buried lead and legit karate
expert Shô Kosugi, whose eye-patched Yomada eventually travels to America to avenge
the past (unseen) death of his father by the notorious Black Ninja who, after killing a golf-course playing scientist, his wife, several
bodyguards and more cops than RAMBO in a bombastic/awesome land
fight turned car chase introduction, telephone pole-climbing government
worker Lucinda Dickey as Christie, an aerobics instructor on the side who listens
to gloriously dated synth music ala Linda Hamilton in TERMINATOR, gets taken-over or dominated but particularly possessed given one scene that rips off THE EXORCIST full throttle...
Having taken the
bullet-splattered dead Ninja's soul, receiving his powerful sword along with vengeful
memories, Lucinda's Christie is surprisingly subdued during blackouts as she becomes a
sneaky Ninja assassin targeting obnoxious cops while having an affair
with a friendly helpful one: Leading to something sinister and
mysterious combining the horror genre with karate with the help of Yomada, always there on the sidelines during fight scenes involving Dickey's masked Ninja: like all the complicated numbers in Cannon's BREAKIN' the same year wherein SHE ALSO headlined despite not being a titular professional, she's also noticeably stunt-doubled and yet, even despite a sporadically robotic delivery, her 1980's dream girl hotness and physical
prowess helps carry this truly entertaining, action-packed wallop that deserves more genuine cult over maligned camp status.
