I saw this movie years ago - wasn't even 10 years old at the time - and I remember how amazed I was. I'd never seen anything like this before! Awesome fights, strange weapons, hard-as-steel characters, elaborate costumes, sets and props. Disappointingly, I didn't get to see the movie again for decades. But now the release of the DVD has given me the opportunity to watch it again, and - oh my god! This is the stuff, people. This does what kung fu movies should do. The movie's primary villains, the Five Element Ninjas, display some very cool techniques that - despite the limitations of inherent in the 1982 Hong Kong special effects - kept me very entertained. One can see the huge influence that 'Five Element Ninjas' had on one of Japan's best mangas, the 1993 film known as 'Ninja Scroll' in English. The major action in 'F.E.N.' starts, like 'Ninja Scroll,' with the brutal slaughter of pretty much the entire supporting cast by the eponymous ninjas. Another (sort of) similarity: 'F.E.N.' has these 'wood ninjas' who can change their bodies' substances to become tree-like, these 'water ninjas' who attack people from underwater, and these 'earth ninjas' who 'jump' in and out of the ground and can attack from underground. Sure, it's Hong Kong, it's 1982. There are no rock-skinned giants here, or snake tattoos coming to life, or wasp-nests hidden in hunchbacks or anything like that. But 'F.E.N.' more than makes up for its lack of the 'magical' kung fu styles with a boatload of well-choreographed fights and an impressive array of Chinese and Japanese weapons. For example, the first fight is between a warrior wielding what appears to be a giant pair of table-saw blades with holes/handles in their centres, and the protagonist Xiao Tian-Hao (Cheng Tien-chi, who was also one of the film's action choreographers) wielding a large-bladed silver spear. Looks very cool, but it is far from being the film's best fight. Plot rundown: (Amazingly enough, there's actually a plot in this one) Xiao Tian-Hao and Liang Zhi-Sheng (played by Lo Mang, in top form as a bare-handed fighter) are kung fu students, whose Master has answered a challenge from the archetypal evil master of another, evil kung fu school. In the ensuing tournament, Xiao and Liang and their kung fu brothers win 9 out of 10 rounds, but in the 10th round, the other school brings out a ringer: a Japanese samurai. Although the empty-handed Liang defeats the katana-wielding samurai (this fight RULES and ends with some great reactions from the two combatants) and compels him to reclaim his honour by committing 'seppuku'... this samurai has a powerful friend back in Japan, one who will avenge his death-by-suicide: Ninja-master Kembuchi. Kembuchi Mudou (Chen Wei-Man, whose icy manner had to be the inspiration for 'Ninja Scroll' villain Lord Gemma) is the 'King of the Ninjas' and the final 4-versus-1 fight against this guy absolutely has to be seen to be believed. In that fight alone, Chen's unstoppable ninja-master pulls out more secret weapons and dirty-fighting tricks than you ever thought existed, and nearly wins the final battle royale. Anyhow, after receiving the dead samurai's invitation from the leader of the evil Chinese kung fu school, Master Kembuchi comes to the `aid' of the evil Chinese kung fu school, and sends Xiao and Liang's kung fu school a challenge to fight against the `Five Elements Formation,' which is a wholly unfamiliar technique to the Chinese characters. The protagonists are wary, because they have no good info on what ninjutsu actually is, but they accept the challenge. Big mistake. From then on, it's non-stop action and brutal death. The ninjas fight, fight dirty, and attack the Chinese challengers without mercy (Best fight from this set: the 'earth ninjas' vs one seriously hardcore Chinaman whose character's name is 'Huang Han'). Then they attack Xiao and Liang's school. Then they attack Xiao and Liang's master. And these ninjas don't stop attacking. The Chinese defeat them, eventually, but only after knuckling down for some serious training. The memorable training sequences are almost as fun to watch as the 'Kung Fu vs Ninjutsu' end-fights that come afterwards. You wanna see some serious martial arts action, all of it in beautifully restored, vivid colour, and boasting a fantastic widescreen transfer? Get this DVD.

Super Ninjas, Five Element Ninjas, Chinese Super Ninjas, call it what you will, but if you know this title, than you know it is pretty much the greatest, classic kung-fu film ever! Not only is it the best kung-fu film, it is arguably the greatest ninja flick as well. This movie is action packed from the start, and chock full of glorious weapons in action, flowing glue-on facial hair and side burns, and copious amounts of fake gore. And the story is actually pretty damn good as well, not difficult to follow or lost in the translation like so many other films from the Far East. But enough about the movie, this is a review of the Blu-Ray DVD. As a fan of this film, I have collected nearly every release on VHS and DVD to come out, including all the European import versions, bootlegs, and most recently a Mandarin standard DVD release that included a restored wide-screen version with the original Chinese dialog. This was a treat, because for the past 30 years I have only been able to watch this film in 4:3 TV mode with the English dubbing. So to see the film in its original scope with the original audio was a real treat for a long time fan. I figured this version would be the best I would ever see, and that was until this Blu-Ray version came out, which is not only in its original wide-screen format, but it includes both the original dialog audio as well as the hilarious, nostalgic English language track. The picture is excellent, and appears fully restored. And perhaps the most important part of any good release, is that the film is devoid of cuts and edits. In many previous releases, this film had much of the excessive violence removed and the film cut for length. But this Blu-Ray release is pretty much perfection on plastic! This is the ultimate version to own, and I suppose the only additional comments I can make about this release, is regarding the special features, which are not all that exciting, but worth a watch once.

One of my all time favorite martial arts/ kung fu movies gets a proper American release. The film quality is excellent! There has always been a lacking quality in all subsequent region 1 releases (poor picture quality /full screen/ no sub titles). The English dub is still the same and while I'm not one to harp on translation and voice acting, the American dub is pretty lame. I can always look past such things as it is not part of the true film itself. I will not go into plot details to extremes because you can read many other reviews on why people love this movie, but here are a few reasons why it tops my list. The plot is fairly simple, the costumes are lavish and super hero like, the blood flows, the variety of cool weapons is unmatched, there are ninjas (duh!) whose weapons and costumes match their element style, there is gore (fighter steps on his own guts/man gets drawn and quartered, etc.), the fight choreography is imaginative, wild and well executed, there are slow motion sequences, Meng Lo is a bad ass, jeez this list could keep going! I still get excited seeing the very beginning open were blood flows to reveal the title (how cool is that?). I absolutely love the first battle scene between the two clans. The top fighters are going one on one to see who is best. Each fighter has a different weapon style. It's just killer! If you own any other version of this film or if you just love over the top wild martial arts films, you need to own this! It is the best version out there. As I've said before if you are a martial arts realist nerd stay away! And while the film is based on actual ninja techniques and weaponry, it is a fantasy, it is a comic book, and it is a lot of fun! Bonus: Subtitles. During certain scenes Chinese characters pop up in the upper parts of the screen. The subtitles reveal what element style is being preformed (something I have always wondered, never being able to read Chinese).

I would not recommend Five Element Ninjas as a blind buy. You have to know this particular genre often referred to as Chop Socky kung fu movies in order to be able to appreciate just how awesome this movie is. It is over-the-top, filled with heroic figures who are willing to kill others and themselves over the slightest of whims and in the bloodiest manner possible. This is not a movie that is going to win any awards outside fun clubs and dedicated websites. This movie has the thinnest of plots, character motivations and one of the most nonsensical and uneven scripts in all of the late 70's or 80's kung fu movies of all time and that is saying a lot. Still, the action scenes, choreography and the undeniable charm of this movie will win over most if not all fans of this type of genre. If you know what to expect, this movie will be nothing short of a delight to watch. I have waited for decades for a print of this quality and this blu-ray release is my dream come true and much more. No longer am I forced to watched cropped full-screen, scratched up, grainy copies of this true classic. The quality, considering the age of the movie itself, is pretty amazing and the top notch video quality made 5 Element Ninjas (aka Super Ninjas) that much more engrossing and entertaining to watch. I love the movie even more due to seeing the movie in blu-ray HD quality. I highly recommend anyone considering an upgrade to do so. It is worth every single penny.

As soon as i discovered that this film is on blu ray, i went and ordered this film, with expedited shipping. And i will say that i am happy to be a owner of this film. This film includes some of the best fight scenes, than any shaw brothers film in the SB catalog. The opening alone, in which the narrator descibes the different forms of martials arts you are about to see, derived from many different manuals and techniques/weapons is one of the most memorable scenes to me. The Five Element ninjas while campy, still gives a aura to the film, as the action sequences and stringwork is derived from Wuxia films and it is in full effect here. This combined with the many beautiful yet obviously handpainted drawn backgrounds compliment the feel of the film and succeeds in it. Now keep in mind i am speaking for myself, and i base my opinion on the many films i watched growing up appreciating Grindhouse films and Kung Fu. This is one of those films you will love if you appreciate the aforementioned genres of film i watch. This film in short, is a fun movie to watch,has many forms of martial arts and weapons represented in it, beaufully shot and choreographed fight scenes, lots of gore (as i read that the blu ray is the uncut version, which was rare to see on vhs in the 80's, a real gem) and to see that they actually got to clean it up, keep the same silly and quirky english dubs from the original release of the film, AND the original language version of the film LOOKING BETTER than when i first seen it, this was a no brainer for me. Lots of good memories of this film, that i had to reown it. Than you TOKYO SHOCK, i been supporting your releases since you were only known as Media Blasters in NYC. Since way Back in the vhs days... :)

Five Element Ninjas is a classic martial arts film from the legendary Shaw Brothers studio, known for their iconic contributions to the genre. The movie tells the story of a group of skilled ninjas who are trained in the five elements of nature - metal, wood, water, fire, and earth - and use their powers to wreak havoc on a rival clan. The action in Five Element Ninjas is nothing short of thrilling, with expertly choreographed fight scenes that showcase the incredible skills of the martial artists involved. The use of different elements in the ninja battles adds an extra layer of excitement and creativity to the action. But it's not just the action that makes this movie a must-see. The stunning visuals of the Blu-ray format truly bring the movie to life, with vibrant colors and sharp details that enhance the overall viewing experience. And for fans of the genre, the bonus features included in this Blu-ray edition are a real treat. From commentary tracks with martial arts experts to behind-the-scenes documentaries on the making of the film, there's plenty of extra content to dive into and learn more about the world of Five Element Ninjas.
