RELEASE DATE: April 30, 2018
On April 30, 2018, Garagehouse Pictures will be releasing the Blu-ray for Ninja Busters, a 1984 martial arts-comedy directed by Paul Kyriazi (Death Machines) and starring Eric Lee (The Shinobi Ninja) and Sid Campbell (The Master Demon).
Filmed in 1984 but never released, Ninja Busters was a lost movie, never screened for audiences and doomed to obscurity—until now! Thirty years later, the sole 35mm film print of Ninja Busters has been unearthed, allowing this completely insane kung fu comedy to finally be unleashed!
Bernie and Chic (martial artists Eric Lee and Sid Campbell, who also wrote the film) are two loveable goofballs just looking for easy work, sexy ladies, and a good slice of pizza. But a beating from a gang of thugs convinces the buddies to train in the martial arts in the hopes of meeting girls… and maybe learning self-defense. After stumbling across the operations of some illegal weapons dealers and their army of paid ninja assassins, Chic and Bernie must team up with their kung fu comrades to contend with sleazy gangsters, ruthless ninjas, underwear-throwing bikers, militant revolutionaries, and bitchin’ breakdancers. Will our heroes be able to defeat the mob and bust the ninjas? And more importantly, will they ever score with the chicks?
Presented for the first time from a 4K digital restoration, Ninja Busters is action packed, absolutely ridiculous, and guaranteed to become a cult film favorite.
Ninja Busters also stars Gerald Okamura (Samurai Cop 2), Nancy Lee (Weapons of Death), Harry Mok (Tiger Claws II) and Carlos Navarro (Weapons of Death).

I was hoping this was going to be another ‘Miami Connection’ or ‘Samurai Cop’….but after watching that trailer, perhaps it should have stayed unreleased?
