Five Elements Ninjas

ActionAdventureDrama108 min

After a massacre destroys his martial arts school, a young fighter swears revenge on the ninja clan that killed his master and his brothers. Tien-Hsiang Lung leads as the lone survivor, who seeks out a new teacher, learns ninjutsu, and returns with new brothers at his side. Meng Lo and Michael Wai-Man Chan are part of the sprawling Hong Kong ensemble around the rematch, which builds toward a confrontation with the deadly gauntlet known as the Five Element Ninja challenge. The setup turns a school-vs.-school feud into a revenge story shaped by martial arts training, rival codes, and escalating ninja warfare.
