*THIS IS NOT A WATCH PARTY*

New York Ninja, a low-budget action film shot in 1984, did not see its release until 2021, which immediately invites questions about how a movie could be shelved for 37 years and then restored and released upon acquisition by a home video distributor.

This movie, rated 96% on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 7.3/10, may not technically qualify for this group, but its audience rating of 39% makes me wonder if this is the case of a gap between critics and general audiences.

Title: New York Ninja ("2021")

Director: Jon Liu (+ Kurtis M. Spieler)

Starring: '80s Low Budget Action Sequences, Economically Efficient Special Effects, Redubbed Dialogue
