We’ve been a fan of the Vintage Ninja site for years now and regard it as the super source for all things ninja movies especially because we absolutely love classic ninja flicks. It’s always great when we see a site or blog take the extra leap and follow through with a book and thats exactly what they’ve done with publishing their debut book, 50 Vintage Ninja Movies & TV Shows – Vol 1: Japan 1950’s – 1980’s.
50 VINTAGE NINJA MOVIES & TV SHOWS — VOL 1: JAPAN 1950s-1980s is 240 pages of amazing ninja media — from essentials of the noir-ish black-and-white 1960s boom to history-making anime and tokusatsu, featuring stars like Raizo Ichikawa, Sonny Chiba, a young Hiroyuki Sanada, and even Toshiro Mifune. 50 titles, from more familiar fare like Shinobi no Mono and Shadow Warriors to obscure gems rarely seen even in Japan.
These are the movies ninja exploitation icons like Sho Kosugi grew up watching, a surprisingly deep genre too often brushed aside, now getting its own representation on the bookshelf for the first time.
