212 - Nine Deaths of the Ninja

Published: May 5, 2023, 6:12 p.m.

Your Stupid Minds returns to ninjas with Cannon\u2019s Nine Deaths of the Ninja from 1985, starring Sho Kosugi, Anthony Kiedis's dad, and Harlan Crow\u2019s ex sister-in-law.

Spike (Kosugi), Steve (Brent Huff), and Jennifer (Emilia Crow) are part of an elite anti-terrorist squad that consists mainly of Spike doing ninja stuff on a bunch of terrorists while Steve crosses his arms and chuckles. When a terrorist confederacy of gross drug addicts, a lesbian militia, and a smattering of ninjas kidnap a bus full of tourists, Spike and the team spring into action. The terrorists are led, of sorts, by a disabled Nazi named Alby the Cruel (played by Blackie Dammett, a.k.a. the dad of the Red Hot Chili Peppers\u2019 Anthony Kiedis), who also has a monkey wearing a diaper.

The team go to the Philippines and there\u2019s some mild ninja stuff, Jennifer shoots some dude with an epoxy gun, and Sho Kosugi\u2019s real sons play pranks on the terrorists.

A reminder: Your Stupid Minds will be at this year\u2019s Comicpalooza in Houston, Texas, to discuss Halle Berry\u2019s Catwoman LIVE! The convention is Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28, so come check us out!
