Die Herrschaft der Ninja (1984)

Die Herrschaft der Ninja: Directed by Sam Firstenberg. With Shô Kosugi, Lucinda Dickey, Jordan Bennett, David Chung. An evil ninja attempts to avenge his death from beyond the grave, by possessing an innocent woman’s body.

“This is a pretty silly film, including what may well be the least erotic come-on ever to make it to the big screen (the heroine pours V-8 all over herself and invites the hero to lick it off — yuck!). And yet it also features the resplendent Lucinda Dickey in what is far and away her most erotic performance. In those long ago days, women — even action heroines — with real muscles were a rarity, and I can still remember the way my jaw dropped when Dickey took off her shirt, revealing the most powerfully built female back and biceps Iu0026#39;d ever seen. Dickeyu0026#39;s beauty and vitality carry the film: she could have been a female Schwarzenegger if anybody had had the vision to promote her.”
