Two kung fu clans are constantly scratching out each other’s eyes. Their ridiculous hair and snow white uniforms make them look like an 80s German synth-pop group. But their rivalry continues and they fight to the death, or at least until the loser calls in the Japanese ninjas. Ninjas! Red ninjas, gold ninjas, ninjas disguised as trees. Or underground ninjas whose sharp poles poke through the ground. Ninjas! A lost fight. But despite their wounds, the synthetic disco-dancers continue to fight until they keel over their own intestines with one final breath. One of them survives and begins to train a new army of ninja killers. Exit the ninja! Chang Cheh creates an unparalleled universe of kung fu bizarreness, populated by, um... German disco-pop dancers, full of fight sequences that almost look like circus acrobatics amidst some serious pig blood and intestines. A crowd favorite, and did we mention the ninjas!?
