A couple of jerks sit around a desk in office clothing talking about renegade cops and ninjas, when some old Paul Hogan-looking dude (also a ninja) calls to challenge them to the death. It is impossible not to witness the showdown without laughing uncontrollably, or at the very least resorting to an audible 'WTF?' The way the scene starts is what really makes this so hilarious. When pressed to choose his greatest worst fight scene, it had to come down to Ninja: Silent Assassin. Unfortunately for the prolific director but happily for our funny bones, experience in this case doesn't equate to action movie mastery.
Among his list of ninja film conquests are Ninja and the Warriors of Fire, Ninja Avengers, Ninja Commandments, Ninja Death Squad, Ninja in Action, Ninja Kill, Ninja Operation: Licensed to Terminate, Ninja Phantom Heroes, and The Ninja Showdown - and those are just the ninja films he made in 1987! He has directed 120 films including Undefeatable, the number two film on this very list. The man isn't just your ordinary director, he's an entire ninja movie industry unto himself. The film that takes the top spot in our list of the most hilariously awful fight scenes ever is Ninja: Silent Assassin by martial arts maestro Godfrey Ho.
MOST JUMPCUT MOVIE FIGH HOW TO
Whether it's the fact that lead star Matt Hannon's hairstyle flip-flops between real hair and a luxurious ladies wig several times throughout the fight, or the way that neither he or antagonist Robert Z'Dar seem to have even the slightest notion of how to fight or behave like a samurai, or the sped-up nature of their sword swings and the magnificent faces they pull, they all add up to what I can only describe as pure cinema magic.
MOST JUMPCUT MOVIE FIGH CODE
This battle is between two halfwits that apparently follow the Bushido code and it's extraordinary for many reasons. Confused continuity, heinous dialogue, ridiculous action scenes and wretched acting combine to make Samurai Cop equal parts awful and awesome, and the film's final fight delivers the clumsiest of crescendos. I've watched it a dozen times and can attest to the fact that the film is a poorly made gift that keeps on giving. Amir Shervan's film plays out like the shoddiest Lethal Weapon-clone imaginable (besides Lethal Weapon 4), but that doesn't mean it isn't still incredibly entertaining. In my eyes, Samurai Cop is probably the very best worst movie ever made.
