Shogun’s Ninja (2025) - Drunk Monk - 02-27-2026
I decided to celebrate earning my first black belt with a jidageki flick and this had been popping up as an Amazon recommendation for while now. It was surprisingly good. Lots of sword fights. Like the whole last half hour was sword fights. And they’re decently choreographed, complex multi-action single takes. It centers around two rogue ninja hawtties who don armor - shinguards, vambraces, chest guards and shoulder pads of metal which allows them to block swords in odd ways. There’s a gay shogun and his lover fencing sparring partner who has a dad, an older brother and younger sister who are all sword masters and a traumatized hawtty that plays with a pinwheel until she touches a sword and all her martial skill is triggered. It looks like it’s filmed on made-for-tv video with some cheesy ninja bomb effects. The the sword fights are ok, not mind blowingly fresh or violent, but consistently a dozen plus actions for each take. Good work. It’s not too sanguineous - one of the spit blood and die flicks - you know when some who gets a lethal blow because they spit blood.
Satisfying in an undemanding way. Mildly D00M recommended. You could do a lot worse wifh an hour and a half.
