There's No Kosugi like Sho Kosugi, like no Kosugi I know...

[Cryozombie]

Someone recently told me Sho Kosugi's son Kane was making Ninja movies in Japan. Anyone seen any of Kane's films, and how are they? Got any reccomendations for a Sho Kosugi fan, looking to see what Kane is up to?

Its from Mystery Science Theater, when they did Master Ninja 1

I liked Sho's films...haven't seen them in ages though.

Don't. My wife and I just watched an old Sho Kosugi ninja movie, and it was just painful. Keep it in the realm of fond memory.

Definately, keep it in the realm of fond memory. Going back and watching
them now is like getting a root canal.

Not true, me and another guy from my Dojo got drunk and watched Revenge of The Ninja last night, it was great!

 

[Bob Hubbard]

I'd need a quart of Scotch...the good stuff, not rotgut.

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Well now, if your drinking then maybe, just maybe it would
not be quite like a root canal.

I watched part of one just last week. It hadn't aged as well as I'd have hoped!

It says here http://www.kanekosugi.com/profile_e/index.html

that he played the starring role in Jiraiya in 1994...that was the same TV series that Hatsumi sensei and Noguchi sensei were in, although I'm not sure what years...

 

[Eireannach]

And there's me thinking you guys were talking about the new Sho Kosugi movie that's coming out next year: Return of the Ninja. I **** you not gentlemen!

I can see it now, aged ninja goes on one last killing spree in Sunnyvale Retirement Home... Seniors everywhere will be trying to find a pair of black Depends like Kosugi wears in the movie...

 

[arnisador]

Sheesh! Well, if they made a sequel to Deuce Bigalow...

Is this a bad Hollywood movie, or the latest from a certain popular bookstore ninja?

 

[Randy Strausbaugh]

I've got a DVD called "Blood Heat" which stars Kane Kosugi, but I have not been able to bring myself to watch it yet. I bought it out of curiosity, but always seem to be able to find something else I'd rather watch. I suppose I should force myself to watch it this weekend so I can give more info.

SARCASM ALERT I'm sure it'll be a top notch production. SARCASM ALERT

 

[Hand Sword]

If it's as action packed as the other movies that were directed by that director, prepare for the next generation of ninjas in your dojo's.

Actually, it now says (maybe it was changed) that the actual title of his 1994 series was "NINJA SENTAI KAKURENJA".

And the TV series he is doing now my kids watch on NHK. Karada de Asobou! (Lets play with our bodies) is a kids series on getting kids to try games and other things that get them active. They even have a little bit every so often about how the samurai moved. I thought the "Kein" I saw was him, but could not be sure.

Edit- found the link to NHK's site about it. Click on the red button for a better look at him.
