FACTS

CRITICAL COMMENTS

RELEASE DATE: October 23rd, 1981 (USA) - Followed by two sequels: Revenge of the Ninja (1983) and Ninja III: The Domination (1984).

"Although no classic, Enter the Ninja is a fun, pretty violent martial arts outing with a fast pacing and plenty of action and cheesy comedy to count the bone-breaking acts of violence." -- Grim Reaper's Movie Guide
