By MICHAEL FLEMING

Sho Kosugi, who toplined a series of ninja films that began with "Enter the Ninja," is returning for a tail-kicking encore. Kosugi will reprise his role in "The Return of the Ninja," a film being scripted by Steven de Souza..



I wonder if Golan/Globus will be back producing?

Wow!

Kosugi is like 60+ but his son Kane could do the job. Anyway, can't wait for the sequel. Should be fun.

Ninjas are awesome. I have been hoping for a ressurection of the Ninja genre, Let's hope this kickstarts it!

I had hopes when glimpsing Elektra tha ninjas were coming back to US screens but they were gone in a flash, kind of like a real ninja.

Kane was absolutely amazing in the films he starred in with his dad.
Enter the ninja, Revenge of The Ninja & Ninja III: THe Domination were my favorites back in the day! Pray For Death was pretty cool too from what I remember. 60 or 160, I'm sure Sho Kosugi is still as hardcore as he was back in the 80's. I seem to remember that he opened up a couple of Dojo's in California a while back. In any event, I am definately looking forward to seeing whatever he puts out.

Silent, To my knowledge, they are all non-OAR FF discs. I don't even know if the latter two: Ninja III & Pray For Death, were even released period.

Was really into his movies when I was younger, but unfortunately they don't hold up well now. This one should be interesting.....straight to video?

my prayers, have been answered. however, i did pray for a kick ass cool ninja flick. i'll hold my breath on that last part.

samurai fiction was the last movie i saw that showed a decent ninja. red shadow, unfortantutely wasn't up to speed.
