Unmistakably the work of a fan--I mean that as a compliment. Only an adoring devotee of ultra-violent comic books and stomach-churning splatter fests could've created this. Whatever its flaws, ROBOT NINJA is bursting w/ the passion of a dude making the sort of flick he himself would love to see.

Now watching ROBOT NINJA (1989), a superhero horror film in which an artist becomes so enraged that his comic book, Robot Ninja, has been turned into a campy tv show that he begins dressing like the title character and dedicates himself to offing criminals Written and directed by J.R. Bookwalter

MIDNIGHT DINER has the dreaded "Leaving Soon" on Netflix and if you have ever taken my advice about anything, take this--one of my favorite TV shows of all time. This is one I desperately wish I had the physical media of.
