Of course I wasn't really harboring the grandest of expectations to this 1992 movie. I mean, look at the title, that is more than enough to set the level of expectations. But still, since it was a movie that I had neither seen nor heard about, of course I opted to give it a chance.
And talk about a swing and a miss of a movie. I don't know what writer and director Mark Bessenger was thinking here. But it certainly wasn't really playing out all that well. I found the movie to be boring and pointless.
Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. Though the acting performances in the movie were fair, when you take into consideration the dumpster fire of a script that they had to work with.
It looks like the movie was shot on a 1970s camera. The footage was grainy, out of focus and riddled with moving black spots. It was so annoying, and it just took away my desire to sit around and finish watching the movie. Which, I incidentally happened not to do, because I grew tired of the grainy footage.
My rating of "Ninja Zombie" lands on a one out of ten stars.

Downright terrible...
25 Years Later I can finally own it!
Back in The mid 90's I worked at a grocery store as a bagger. Have have been a cineast for my entire life and at that time, as a teen I dreamt of nothing more than making a horrible no-budget movie. It just so happened the produce manager (Chad? Chet? Chip?) had a friend who made a no-budget movie himself: Zombie Ninja. The manager lent my friends and I a VHS copy, from what I remember it was yet to be released, but did have a distributor as he asked the director to add some boobs. So after work one night we all retired to my parents living room to watch Nonja Zombie. I remember nothing about it but there was a zombie (maybe dead ex-cop) and there were boobs (because the distributor wanted them) other than that I only remembered name. Glad to see the produce manager's friend finally got this to be see. By a wider audience. Does it deserve it? Maybe. I figure anyone who took the time to make a movie no matter how bad should have it be seen.
Bad on all levels
Bad acting, bad music, bad quality, bad sound bad story line. The movie feels so cheap. I am 100% confident any of you could make a better movie! I mean an 8 year old could.
