Corrected entry: When Braden sets out to kill Caifano's brother, he wears a business suit and carries a small bag as he enters the restrooms. But when he confronts his victim, he carries a ninja-to (ninja sword) in his sash. The sword is definitely too long to fit in the bag or under the suit, and I've never heard of dismantable combat swords.
Revenge of the Ninja (1983)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Sam Firstenberg
Starring: Sho Kosugi, Keith Vitali, Arthur Roberts, Virgil Frye
Factual error: Star shuriken, despite common misconception, are not inherently deadly weapons. They were mostly used for distraction, since their lack of a single weighted point makes their attack rather inefficient (although the weapon could be coated with poison). Although it is possible to hit an eye, it is very difficult to hit such a small target or scoring a sufficiently deep wound to penetrate to the brain with a star shuriken.
Cho Osaki: Only a ninja can stop a ninja.
Trivia: It is commonplace for Sho Kosugi films that whenever a family is to be portrayed; his two sons Shane and Kane are cast into corresponding roles.
