New York Ninja

Step into the neon-soaked, crime-ridden streets of 1980s New York with New York Ninja—a long-lost action / crime / martial arts cult film that has become one of the most talked-about restorations in modern genre cinema.

Originally shot in 1984 by martial arts actor and filmmaker John Liu, the film was mysteriously abandoned and left unfinished for decades after its distribution company collapsed. Over 35 years later, the original footage was rediscovered and painstakingly reconstructed by Kurtis Spieler, transforming it into a fully realized cinematic experience for a new generation. 

Blending revenge thriller, vigilante justice, and over-the-top ‘80s action, the film follows a grieving sound technician turned masked ninja avenger, battling crime across New York City’s gritty underworld. 

What truly elevates New York Ninja into cult legend status is its electrifying, synth-driven score by Detroit-based band Voyag3r—a soundtrack that perfectly captures the retro energy and pulse of the era while giving the film a modern edge. 

The film made its long-awaited debut at Beyond Fest in 2021, followed by screenings at international festivals including Terror-Fi Film Festival and Night Visions International Film Festival, cementing its reputation as a must-see cult phenomenon. 

Across the web, fans and critics alike celebrate the film as:

• “A fantastic cult classic”
• “Rewatchable, quotable, and perfect for midnight screenings” 

Owning this product means owning a piece of cinematic history—a once-lost film resurrected into cult greatness. Whether you're a collector of rare films, a fan of vintage martial arts action, or drawn to the unmistakable sound of Voyag3r, this is a must-have addition to your collection.

Don’t miss your chance to experience the legend—New York Ninja isn’t just a movie… it’s a resurrection.
