- Quotes
[Yamata and Rin are surrounded by Jinnai and a band of dead ninjas that are controlled by alien organisms inside them]
Jinnai: You motherfucker.
[Surprised look on Rin's face. Jinnai then looks at her]
Jinnai: You motherfucker. Son of a bitch.
[Stunned look on Yamata's face]
Jinnai: Give me the fucking dirty pussy.
[Rin looks confused]
Jinnai: Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you!
Dead Ninja 1: Fuck...
Dead Ninja 2: ...you.
Dead Ninja 3: Fuck...
Dead Ninja 4: ...you.
Jinnai: Fuck you!
[Jinnai and all the dead ninjas continue to chant the words as they raise their swords and wave them before Yamata takes down one of them. Then the entire group stops their chants and freezes]
Yamata: [in Japanese] Shut up already!
Admittedly, the plot is a little derivative (it's essentially Predator, but with ninjas) and the pacing is a little off, with the film taking quite a while to get going, but those who hang on in there will be rewarded with some incredibly inventive visuals and lots of mindless bloody action—think 18-certificate Power Rangers (that's 'R' rated for those of you in the US)—all of which proves hugely enjoyable if viewed in the right frame of mind (ie., let go of all sense of logic and accept the sheer silliness of the whole thing).
In Alien vs. Ninja, the fashion conscious warriors wouldn't be seen dead in the traditional hooded ninja suits of the type found in many an 80s B-movie, instead opting for designer outfits equipped with nifty body armour and cool accessories; the aliens are dinosaur-like creatures—clearly men in rubber suits enhanced by CGI—equipped with deadly prehensile tails and small parasitic babies that crawl out of openings in their skulls. When the two species meet, the result is a whole deal of hyper-kinetic, well choreographed martial arts, with impressive sword-fights, lots of blood and guts (assorted severed limbs and decapitations), and plenty of gratuitous shots of sexy female ninja Rin bending over or doing the splits as she narrowly avoids being impaled on the creatures' tails or, later on, by the swords of the zombie-like ninja hosts of the alien young.
I had a huge amount of fun with this knowingly daft, intentionally humorous and action-packed gore-fest, more than enough to ensure that I won't be taking my copy back to the DVD exchange shop: it's staying on my shelf, right where it belongs.
