Apatros Review Ep-0073: For Hire [1991] ("Lethal Ninja")
AR-0073: David Heavener was something of a major name in C-grade DTV [direct-to-video] action movies and thrillers during the start of the DTV market, putting out a whole heap of strangely quirky movies that weren't exactly terrible, but in a way genuinely entertaining, albeit in a perverse manner akin to what we Bad Movie Masochists are accustomed to.
For this particular film, Heavener was only playing the lead, instead of also directing behind the camera [for this film, one-shot director Stefan Rudnicki took his one chance to make a movie, even though his day job is as an editor], in this el bizarro martial arts / thriller / dopey comedy / drama / exercise in weirdness that ended up being the very last ninja movie of the 20th Century...
While this obscure film only started getting something of a minor reputation in the mid-to-late 2010s from internet reviewers only just starting to hear of it, I had personally been aware of this film since 1992 as my father had not one but TWO copies of the Australian VHS release in his personal collection, and I saw it for the first time back in '92 as a curious seven-year-old. This movie did see an Aussie DVD release through an obscure label formed by the same people responsible for Avenue One - the most infamous DVD company of the early 2000s Australian DVD market, due to their hideous quality DVDs.
My Grade: D+ [Disappointing]
