Description
George has never seen any Kung Fu movies... except for Kung Fu Panda. He was not ready for the awesomeness of Vinegar Syndrome Pictures' first release: New York Ninja. Luckily, Vinegar Syndrome provided us with a sneak peak at the upcoming film. And Travis and Dan stepped up to show George what magic was waiting for him in the Big Apple of the 1980s.
New York Ninja was shot in 1984, in guerilla fashion around New York, by director John Liu (In the Claws of the CIA, Dragon Blood). But it was thought to be lost to time until it was rescued by the restoration wizards at Vinegar Syndrome. Director Kurtis Spieler compiled the nearly 30 year old footage into a streamlined story. And with the help of producers including Brad Henderson, also of Vinegar Syndrome, he compiled a cast of voice actors from the exploitation and B-Movie Hall of Fame (not a real place, but it should be).
Included on the upcoming Blu-Ray release is an excellent documentary look at the process of shooting a guerilla Kung Fu project on Staten Island and around New York in the 80s. But the behind the scenes feature goes on to explain the process of creating a new movie out of the old footage. The featurette is a must-watch, and very well may be worth the price of admission!
Will George's new drinking game catch on with our listeners... (we hope not!) Will Travis ever learn to love a movie with a redubbed audio track? (don't hold your breath!) Did Dan just say "Unrelenting Crotch Hell" in... context? (He did!)
Come for the Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja: The Movie vibes, and stay for the Beat-It aesthetics and Pink Floyd sexy scenes. New York Ninja is one to seek out!
Coming November 1st, 2021, from Vinegar Syndrome Pictures. Available at www.vinegarsyndrome.com
*Update* The review states that the film will be released on UHD, however a Facebook post from Vinegar Syndrome states that it will be in standard Blu-ray only. Don't let that dampen your excitement. This movie is still wonderful in 1080p!

Psycho (1960): A week ago, George didn't even realize that there was a movie called Psycho. A crying shame, we know, but did that horrifying revelation stop Travis and Dan from bring George to the Bates Motel? It did not. Today they do so, and with vigor!
