In that full version, the Ninja fight scene moves beyond the conventional leaping, sword fighting and Shuriken Ninja throwing stars.

In the cut-down version I watched, that fight scene abruptly end mid-fight, so make sure you watch the full version of Ninja Phantom Heroes instead of the Ninja Empire edit. As is tradition for these movies, the final showdown is where you’ll find the biggest and best Ninja fight scene. The original footage is rather lacking in Ninja action. Martial arts fights break out occasionally too. It’s not perfect, the various motorbikes are all dubbed with the motocross engine whine, but I enjoyed this scene. From the reused footage of Struggle for Leader, the best action scene by far involves a protagonist trying to escape a torch-wielding motorcycle gang while driving a Ford Cortina. What did I enjoy about Ninja Phantom Heroes? Apart from a few scenes here and there, not a lot. A Ninja who is, somehow, helping the criminal Triads in the reused film footage to sell weapons to Arabs in the Middle East. The story involves our hero, an American Vietnam war veteran who happens to be a Ninja, being brought out of prison to help bring down a criminal Ninja organisation in Hong Kong.

The majority of the movie is reused footage from Hong Kong action crime drama Struggle for Leader (1983) (originally titled Di yi ba jiao yi). The original scenes shot in Hong Kong star Caucasian cast regulars including Danny Raisebeck, John Wilford and Jonathan Isgar as bad guy Morris. And it was produced by Tomas Tang for Filmark International Ltd. The screenplay was written by Godfrey Ho (as Duncean Bauer). Ninja Phantom Heroes turned out to be another cut-and-paste Ninja-exploitation title directed by Godfrey Ho (as Bruce Lambert). A little review of a different Ninjasploitation cut-and-paste release from Godfrey Ho than the one I’d planned. I wasn’t going to re-watch the whole thing, but skipping through it I noticed some of the action scenes were longer.
Looking into it further, not only had I just watched an alternate title version of Ninja Phantom Heroes, but I’d missed out on ten minutes of footage from the ‘proper’ version. Only afterwards, I realised nothing I had just watched matched IMDb. So when I found this on YouTube, with matching title and length as the IMDb entry, all seemed good. in some markets and Ninja Empire in others. How did that happen? The short answer is, Ninja Phantom Heroes is also titled Ninja Phantom Heroes U.S.A. Instead I watched Ninja Phantom Heroes (1987) by mistake. What IMDb has listed as the last of Godfrey Ho’s cut-and-paste Ninja-exploitation (Ninjasploitation) titles. I’d planned to watch Ninja Empire (1990). Have you ever watched the wrong film by accident? That happened to me this weekend.
