Consider a fictional 1980s Cannon movie called “Executive Ninjas”. A team of elite ninjas works for the president. The president might say to the ninja leader (and to the audience)…
“The United States is producing more exquisite and elite weapons than at any time in our history. They are being delivered on a daily basis to our forces in the Middle East, and beyond. Our defense company factories are moving 24/7, while at the same time building, on average, 4 to 5 larges scale brand new plants each! But…”
Ya gotta have a “but” - this is a movie after all. The president gives the ninja leader his team’s super-top secret mission that must be accomplished as soon as possible. The country is in dire danger from the plans of the dastardly Evil Muslims or whoever. Maybe the Evil Muslims are working in cahoots with the Evil Soviets?
I rewatch the opening of Ninja 3: The Domination where the ninja solos dozens of cops on a fairly regular basis, it’s possibly my favorite movie scene ever.
I had it on VHS as a kid, must have watched it like fifty times
The scene where the bikers are all knocked off their bikes with a big chain, then a bunch of people run up and shoot them while they’re writhing on the ground, is pure :chefs-kiss:
Especially when the kids show up out of nowhere and start dancing among the corpses

Ah, Cannon Pictures
You peaked with Death Wish 3

If i ever need to feel better, I just remember how in Death Wish 3 there’s a character named The Giggler and then Charles Bronson kills The Giggler
Which leads to the immortal line, “They killed The Giggler!”
“They killed the giggler, man”
“He should not have done that”
I saw the movie once in 2005 and that line was burned into my memory

now i get why golf courses always ban me for dressing like a ninja.
They also complain when I crush their golf balls in my fist while they look on in horror, really ruins their day.
I am choosing to believe that Trump’s 30 cart convoy full of Secret Service members is him hoping to recreate this scene
Not bad, though he probably could kill them all if only he dressed in orange ninja suit, but i guess that was discovered later.
so good. back then, movies were still a relevant art form
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Didn’t Death Wish go at least until 5?
Yep, 4 is not very good and 5 has him going after the Velvet Mafia
3 is the one where Bronson casually kills a ton of gangers during riot?
Yes, including the non Keanu half of Bill and Ted
