You always have to praise first. So, let's praise for the first (and last time) : at least, they used real Japanese actors, and not some Asian looking buddies pronouncing some inaudible ad-lib. Now, for the main part. Story is 150% laughable. Let's find a reason to come to NYC : hide a so-called sacred box to the "other side of the world". Let's find a reason to have a white man in a Asian club : he lost mama and daddy ! Let's find a reason to have a woman : it's the master's daughter ! Let's have a reason to have hooligan looking guys : it's a secret society, so secret that you don't really understand what are their values. What's this ninja doing with night vision goggles ? You must show that tradition surpasses technology. What is this "that is anger" thing ? They don't know that StarWars has used this before. What's this ninja girl totally incapable of defending herself ? Okay, okay, muscle man defending small weak girl. Where's the usual sexy scene ? Oh yeah, the double hot shower with clothes on, almost forgot it. What's the last scene opening to the future ? A family grave in the middle of the training field ... to show the next generation of Ninja ... (why not a pregnant Namiko while you are at it). BTW, what's the meaning of beheading Masazuka ? And, we still don't know who is the next Soke. We definitively need a part II !!
