Still one more Godfrey Ho cut-and-splice-films-together deal, this one has no bionic ninja in it. There's a guy who is sent on a mission to find a secret film, but has to deal with KGB ninjas (really, that makes as much sense as anything in a Ho film). Unfortunately, there's a whole 'nother film spliced in that's very talky and so poorly dubbed as to be entertaining... for a minute, maybe. There's very little ninja action until the dockyard showdown at the end, where our hero becomes a red ninja fighting a white ninja, switching the usual Ho dynamic of the good guys wearing white.
Oh my God, I just did a historical Ho sentence.
It's not the loopiest of Ho's films, as he seems to have hired the actors of the original film(s) to appear in new scenes together, to tie it together. Unfortunately, one gained weight and another changed his hairstyle, so there's no continuity. It's a middling Ho - for enthusiasts only.
