‘New York Ninja,’ Once Feared Lost, Heads To Blu-Ray At Last From Vinegar Syndrome

New York Ninja was shot and abandoned in 1984. The script, treatments, and audio were lost along the way, so the film was all but dead. The folks at Vinegar Syndrome acquired the film, restored the camera negative, and painstakingly pieced together the film over the course of several years. At long last, the film is ready for the world to see. Vinegar Syndrome is preparing to release the film on Blu-ray after nearly four decades on the shelf.

Check out the gloriously ridiculous trailer below, then read on for the details!

New York Ninja (2021) Synopsis

John (John Liu) is just an average man working as a sound technician for a New York City news station, until one day his pregnant wife is brutally murdered after witnessing the kidnapping of a young woman in broad daylight. Turning to the police for help, John soon learns that the city is overrun with crime and the police are too busy to help.

Dressing as a white ninja, John takes to the streets as a sword-wielding vigilante hell bent on cleaning up the streets of the city he once loved by ridding it of muggers, pickpockets, rapists, and gang members. However, in John’s quest for justice, he soon finds himself the target of every criminal in the city, including a mysterious villain known only as the Plutonium Killer.

Will John survive to become the hero that New York City so desperately needs?

John Liu and Kurtis M. Spieler directed the film. It features the voice talents of Don “The Dragon” Wilson, Linnea Quigley, Michael Berryman, Vince Murdocco, Matt Mitler, Leon Isaac Kennedy, Ginger Lynn Allen, and Cynthia Rothrock.
