As a film, it might be no great shakes, but as an action flick, it's fairly awesome.

Martial arts stars Sonny Chiba and Hiroyuki Sanada stand on opposite sides of a battle over a hidden treasure in SHOGUN'S NINJA. Shiranui (Chiba) is a ruthless ninja leader who wants the fortune in gold held by the Momochi clan. In order to find it, he needs two daggers that point the way towards the money. To gain one of the daggers, he attacks the Momochi compound and slays its inhabitants. Many years later, while Shiranui still searches for the treasure, Takamaru (Sanada), a deadly kung-fu fighter, appears to challenge him. Takamaru holds the other dagger that Shiranui wants--and he wants revenge as the last surviving member of the Momochi! SHOGUN'S NINJA balances martial arts action with comedic scenes and the hypnotic presence of Sonny Chiba. [More]

Reviews for Shogun Ninja
A not too subtle knock-off of "Shogun Assassin" and its brand of over the top ninja action and violent samurai swordplay.
While it's a neat bit of schmaltz to make fun of over a few beers, it's really not a great flick.
