The Nextlander Watchcast 068: New York Ninja (2021)
🕑 Added 2023-11-21 00:27:55 +0000 UTCTurkey month is in full effect, and this week we're sifting through the detritus of Vinegar Syndrome's New York Ninja, a movie so bad the people who originally filmed it couldn't even be bothered to finish it! But we did! We watched the whole thing, and we also made you do that, probably, if you're listening to this episode. Sorry?

"How Did This Get Made" just did this movie three weeks ago and it was great fun listening to them discuss it. It's good to get multiple POVs on this terrible movie.

I thought this was more entertaining than Ninja Terminator.

Of all the things that broke me watching this movie it was the Newspaper Title "Another Lady Kidnapped"! Like what victim of kidnapping would ever be called "lady" in a serious newspaper. I need to listen to that commentary...

Oh, you bet I'm listening to this! Mainly because if I don't, then I slogged through this wild mess of a movie for nothing... and it's all gonna be worth it!
