    Why don't we have ninjas in movies anymore?

    The last one I can remember that had ninjas is The Wolverine, which was, what? 2012? '13?

    I like ninjas. They need to make a comback.

    • Ninjas are a bit silly now, though as a kid it was my dream to be one.

    • Lego Ninjago movie?uan
    • That‘s what kids are into...Ninjagos and Pokemons...uan
    • Think I watched every bad ninja movie in the video shop. Just think street lights probably would catch them out more in modern times. :-)PhanLo
    • ^ This is why ninjas have throwing stars.monNom
    • Pffft. No self-respecting ninja would ever get caught out by something as banal as a street light!Continuity
    • Movies are full of ninjas. You just can’t seem ‘em ‘cause they’re ninjasscarabin

    • When I was 12 and into ninja movies I convinced my mom to rent one because it said "not rated" on the VHS cover.palimpsest
    • It had a lot of gore, obese topless women that might have been sex slaves and dirt bikes. When she walked by as I was watching it she wanted to stop it.palimpsest
    • But a deal is a deal and I could finish watching it. I found it really weird for a ninja movie, specially the dirt bikes. Has anyone seen it?palimpsest

    • If you remember the name of the film, palimp, let us know. It sounds awful enough to be awesome.Continuity
    • I'm looking for it but can't find it. I do it every 2 years when I remember it. I think it had subtitles, really low budget.palimpsest
    • @PhanLo has seen all of them so I'm waiting on him.palimpsest
    • I got it from this small shop in downtown Baltimore. I don't remember, because at the time I couldn't tell, if it was an arty rental place or a fetish one.palimpsest
    • I know exactly what street it was on though: 800 North Charles.palimpsest
    • superheroes with superpowers killed the ninjasneverscared
    • My ex... Japanese... couldn't understand why the west thinks ninjas are cool - in Japan it's seen as dorky/nerdy/childish...shapesalad
    • I reckon I saw that movie too Palimpsest but can’t remember the titlePhanLo
    • Well, I wanna know what it is!Continuity
    • I'd like to get rid of ninjas and superheroes unless they know how ridiculous they are, like Adam West.CyBrainX
