Bad Movie Night Toronto presents 9 DEATHS OF THE NINJA
When a group of international drug runners have one of their cronies thrown in jail, they kidnap a bus of US tourists in the Philippines and demand their friend be released. Enter Spike Shinobi, a lollipop-obsessed ninja (?!), who must gather together his crisis response team and rescue the hostages before time runs out. It won't be easy though - in order to save the day, Spike will have to fight a gang of little people, kick ass in an old man disguise, and confront a Dr. Strangelove-esque villain at a polo game. Wait... what? Exactly!
9 DEATHS OF THE NINJA mixes shitty martial arts action with a plot that feels ripped from a rejected James Bond film (and we're talking about "Moonraker" levels of wackiness here). This movie will keep you on the edge of your seat, asking questions like, "Was that supposed to be a joke?" and "Who on earth thought this was a good idea?!"
