Reviews
A killer title, pretty good
"A killer title, pretty good execution. This is a fun movie that doesn't take itself seriously but probably should have. There is a little too much "camera wink" to some of the scenarios. That said, no regrets and it is fun watch."
— Ben H. (5/5)
The ultimate action film parody
"This made me laugh, again, and again, and again. Immediately after watching I ordered the sequel. Great movie."
— Randy F. (5/5)
Great movie so much fun
"Love the extras in the movie and the crime Syndicate is good and the camp is wonderful I love this movie 1&2 I will watch this over and over"
— Adam M. (5/5)
Low budget but lots of fun
"This is a parody/tribute to 80’s action movies, particularly Commando, Predator, and Terminator, but also many others. There is plenty of action, bloodshed but also lots of cheezy dialogues, just as expected in this kind of movie. Despite its low budget, this movie was clearly made with lots of love and great attention to details. Beside ninjas, you can also expect communists soldiers, cyborgs and other surprises. I definitely recommend this one highly to any fan of old action movies."
— Francis V. (5/5)
Nostalgia bait
"Briskly paced nostalgia bait. Not my favorite release but the cool practical effects won me over, and it benefits greatly by not overstaying its welcome. All in all a fun time, but I would probably rather just watch one of the 80s action classics that it is paying homage to."
— Jon B. (3/5)
Retro perfection
"I’m so glad someone still makes them like they used to!"
— Henry S. (5/5)
Commando Ninja
"Had to get as I bought the second part. It was going cheap and I know I will have a good time with this"
— Ryan F. (5/5)
Great Time
"Awesome send up of the action movies of my youth. Part 2 is also a lot of fun."
— Austin J. (5/5)
Lots of dumb fun
"Crack open some cold ones with the boys and get ready to laugh your ass off. It's a great time."
— Oscar M. (3/5)
Retro Tribute a Blast!
"It's probably been said a million times but if you liked Kung Fury (directed by someone else, by the way), you'll probably love Commando Ninja. As a matter of fact, if the words "Commando" and/or "Ninja" get your immediate attention, then you should probably get this. Strikes the right tone between old and new, poking fun at beloved '80s action flicks."
— Gabriel A. (3/5)
