Profile of Ninja Wars
The mood of Ninja Wars is stylized. The plot centers around a master warrior, a daring rescue, and good versus evil. It is a foreign, action, and thriller movie. Stylistically, Ninja Wars features martial arts and is gory. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. The setting is Japan. Ninja Wars is based on a book. It is especially suggested for a boys' night.
Summary of Ninja Wars
The ruthless Lord Danjo is determined to rule Japan, and learns of a prophecy that whoever wins the love of Princess Ukio shall succeed in that task. Enlisting the help of an evil wizard and his five monk warriors, Danjo seeks a way of seducing Ukio through diabolical magic. Enter Jotaro, in love with Ukio's twin, who is captured and killed by the monks. Jotaro now seeks to put an end to Danjo's sinister plot, but he can't do it alone--he needs the help of samurai swordsman Muneyoshi (Sonny Chiba). It's time for Ninja Wars as Jotaro and Muneyoshi pit themselves against Danjo and his allies in this bizarre martial arts epic.
