As a kid, I loved this series. Seeing it for the first time since it aired, I gotta say, I still enjoy it. Yeah, it’s ridiculous, cheesy, and, despite Timothy Van Patten’s often film noirish gumshoe dialogue, reeks of the era, but Lee Van Cleef is a Ninja Master! What more do you need? Oh, of course you get obligatory 80’s ninja Sho Kosugi, too. It also gets ripped in an MST 3000 episode.
The first two episodes
Now I may have to watch some Kosugi films
