The Great Ninja Movie Thread
We have some Samurai threads floating around.
So what are some great ninja movies? Drama, action, any genre will do that features some wicked ninjas.

I saw this ninja movie on TV one time many years ago. I completely forget the title but it was based on a book called The Game or something along those lines.
It was basically a foot race where contestants could fight each other, there were people chasing and trying to kill you, and other various obstacles.
Rather vague description, but if that sounds familiar to anyone, it would get a vote from me.

bump.
i just saw samurai fiction, and while not a ninja movie, it's depection of ninjas was great and fullfuly what i would want to see in a movie about ninjas.
i realize the same director followed up with Red Shadow, which is ninja based so i look forward to seeing that asap. but i am curious of other ninja movies, where ninjas are not the focus but are somewhere in the mix and presented well.

i loved Shaolin challenges Ninja
also most of the Sho Kosugi ones
and American Ninja 1 and 2 were good, after that the series went downhill
Ninja 3 the Domination is terrible !

The Lone Wolf & Cub manga features ninja heavily, so many encounters made it into the movie series. Not always your typical ninja, but plenty of exotic weapons and tricky tactics.
