Another classic ninja flick will be stalking Blu-ray this spring.
In an early announcement to retailers, Kino will be bringing 'Revenge of the Ninja' to Blu-ray sometime in May.
The Ninja are back! Brandishing swords and fists, leaping and kicking, wielding blow darts and explosives, they know a thousand ways to kill. Martial arts legend Sho Kosugi delivers a heart-pounding display of strength, speed and lethal Ninja know-how in this action-packed thriller that "takes us back to the good old days of the kung fu extravaganza" (Screen International).
When a band of Ninja assassins slaughters the family of Cho Osaki (Kosugi), he flees to America in the hope of building a new life. A former Ninja himself, Osaki tries to escape his deadly past but soon discovers he has become the pawn of a ruthless drug trafficker - an American Ninja intent on killing anyone who crosses his path... including Osaki!
Specs have yet to be revealed, but supplements will include a brand new introduction and audio commentary by director Sam Firstenberg.
