Ninja in the Dragon's Den

"Ninja in the Dragon's Den" (1982) — a Hong Kong action-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Conan Yuen sets Japanese ninjutsu against Chinese kung fu: a young ninja known as Black Shadow tracks his father's killer to China, certain he's found the man he's been hunting for years.

He hasn't factored in a stubborn local who knows the suspect as a quiet, harmless old man — and won't step aside. Hiroyuki Sanada and Conan Lee work through their differences with fists before the real enemy comes into view. The fight choreography is the real draw here: clean, fast, and far less padded than most genre films of the era. Watch "Ninja in the Dragon's Den" (1982) online on iFILM.
