“Aside from concerns about artistic quality, The Instructor was quite fun. Bendell was creating, Chaney was acting, both were stepping outside their areas of expertise. Taken in context, the film was enjoyable. Having trained under Chaney, I understand the film. I may not quite understand why they made the film, but Iu0026#39;m glad they did. As for the film itself, it is classic: action, heroism, and the boy gets the girl in the end. A time-honored theme in a changing environment at the time. Of course, the memories most likely to stay with the viewer are the interminable running and the close-up hand action. Of them all, the hand-action was the least effective for the non-martial artist. Though a student of martial arts might enjoy the hand technique, the lay viewer would simply see flashing hands without understanding. As for the ninja who was not quite adept, he provided a lot of humor. Iu0026#39;d recommend the film for adult-like kids and kid-like adults.”
