This is a 27" x 39" Egyptian one-sheet poster designed by Moaty for
a 1986 rerelease of the 1984 Ming Chin and Godfrey Ho film Ninja Thunderbolt
AKA zhi zun shen tou written by Ming Chin and Godfrey Ho and
starring Richard Harrison as Ninja Master Richard Lohman. Godfrey Ho
is known as the Ed Wood of Hong Kong and Ninja Thunderbolt is
his most successful effort. Plot summary: A member of the Ninja
Empire named Richard Lohman decides to leave because he's fed up with
the group's corrupt leadership. He enlists Hong Kong's Detective
Inspector Wang [Harry Wong] to track down the empire's leader and put
an end to his crime spree. The plot is disjointed and hard to follow,
but the plot is not the point. This film relies on outrageous fight
sequences and stunts to please viewers. It consists partly of reused
action footage from a Taiwan film with the English title To Catch a
Thief and includes a very funny scene with ninjas on roller skates
chasing Inspector Wang driving a tiny three-wheeled car. Although
Jackie Chan has top billing on this Egyptian poster, he has no
character role and only gets about 10 seconds of screen time in the
film. Like many other Arabic translations for the titles of foreign
films on Egyptian posters, the Arabic title on this poster fetat
al-ninja al-motewahesha [فتاة النينجا المتوحشة The Savage Ninja Girl]
has more to do with local marketing than with the content of the film.
Cast and crew: Ming Chin, Godfrey Ho, Jackie Chan, Richard Harrison, Don Wong, Yasuaki Kurata, Kulada Yasuaki, Barbara Yuen, Wang Tao, Randy To, Anna Jewis, Sidney Pang, Tracey Yeh, Mohammad Abel, John Ladalski, Mohammad Abel, Richard Cheng, Steve Kwan, Tao Chang, Hsiu-li Chen
