Classic Ninja Novella
Excellent DVDs! So many memories! This series brings me back to Los Angeles in the late 1980's when is first saw it on Channel 18. Sonny Chiba's acting ranges from funny to heartfelt. DVD's and packaging are in great shape and artistic. The period storyline is excellent. Thank you! I love it!

Fun entertainment.
If you like ninja and samurai, then you should enjoy "Shadow Warriors", (Kage no Gundan, in Japanese) starring the great Sonny Chiba. Has an all star cast.
