Russian Terminator (1989)

aka Russian Ninja

How bad is it? It's a completely predictable espionage film in broken English.
Should you see it? Not really.

Despite the title(s), there's no Terminator - though a scene or two does get lifted from that film - and certainly no ninja. The film does have Russians, though; filmed in Denmark, this film seems authentically Russian, from the bizarre-looking hero to the minimalist landscapes. The film is about an FBI agent rescuing a kidnapped woman and they encounter a one man death squad that has a couple of martial arts moves that are almost Dolemite level. Most of the scattered laughs come from completely botched line readings from people speaking second languages.
