Best Ninja movies?

[phonogram12]

Heroes of the East and Ninja in the Dragon's Den - two Hong Kong classics that feature ninjas prominently.

Then of course there's Revenge of the Ninja and Prey for Death. I like Ninja Assassin, too, but I felt it was just too slick in certain areas. The CGI just kills certain scenes for me. I thought the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles produced by Golden Harvest was great, too. Way better fight choreography than I would've ever expected from a bunch of guys in rubber suits.

I also liked the depictions of ninjas in the second season of Daredevil before the whole K'un L'un reveal.

Red shadow:akakage is good, samurai fiction is good too but obviously that’s a samurai movie. They are part of a shared universe though.

Thats right. Only movie I knew who made an effort to portray the Ninjas realistically.

The Shogun TV Series had that too, as far as I remember.

Seeing them as a Kid I thought they were the best ever. Seeing most of them again a few years later not so much^^. Esp. the Dudikoff movies or the Lee van Cleef TV Series were really bad. I think the best in my opinion were two japanese ones but I can't remember the names anymore.
