Racine wakes up in the hospital and is told that he is being targeted by the ninjas and that he will be taken to a remote island for his protection. When the ninjas attack the hospital, Racine manages to escape and he arrives at the city's train station. On the train he meets Taketa who, in the tradition of the samurai, wants to face the ninjas. Then there is a bloody argument between Taketa and the ninjas on the train.
When they get to the island, Racine meets the constantly drunk blacksmith Oshima, who is supposed to make a new sword for Taketa. While working on the sword, Racine is initiated into martial arts by Oshima. After the sword is finished, Taketa and Racine duel. Racine, who wants to return to New York, is captured by Taketa. During the night the island is attacked by ninjas, Racine is freed and Taketa dies in a duel with a ninja. Racine manages to overpower the ninjas thanks to Oshima's advice.
criticism
"A repulsive film full of blood-soaked massacres, based on a moronic script, enriched with unspeakable dialogues."
