It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

While I agree with a lot of comments on this movie (YES it's bad, YES it's spliced together and somewhat baffling), it IS most certainly watchable. It is not 'gouge-your-eyes-out bad'. If you're a fan of old Kung fu movies, and have a sense of humour, you will probably love it. Whatever vintage Kung fu movie is featured in "Zombie Rival" it's actually pretty good, I'd like to track it down. Those scenes are enjoyable. But the newer (presumably 1980's) ninja scenes are also enjoyable - comedy gold. The outfits. The headbands. The mustaches. The dialogue.. in between sword clashes they say things like "I told you... the dragon's fire burns HOT!" Here in the UK you can get this on DVD for Five Pounds or less, under the title "Zombie Rivals". I own it on oldschool big-box rental VHS, under the title "Zombie Rival: The Super Ninja Master". The video cover has a painting of a barbarian on the front. Seriously. A barbarian.Update: The vintage Kung Fu movie is called "Gravedigger". Yay!

I can't believe they credited this movie to Godfrey Ho. Now Ho is not exactly a great auteur, but if I was him, I'd sue for defamation. Half of this movie is an actual (probably terrible) Hong Kong kung-fu flick, the rest is comprised of footage that looks like it was shot somewhere in Utah with costumes that came from the dollar store. Did I mention all of this footage is shot on a consumer level VHS camcorder? The white Caucasion ninjas are, as others have pointed out, literally dressed in garbage bags, and not good ones either. The best is when characters from the Hong Kong film are cut to look as if they're interacting with the Caucasions. The reaction shots are priceless.Imagine Redneck Zombies, Mulva: Zombie Ass Kicker or A Night to Dismember, then take yourself WAAAYYY down a couple of hundred notches and you're still not even close to imagining how unbelievably poor this movie is.Zombie Vs. Ninja: Guess who wins? Not the viewer that's for sure.

A friend of mine and I went on a mission to find the worse movie of all time. After we watched this movie, we did not even bother to put in the other movies we rented.A plot summary, character break down, or comments on the directing and acting would be useless. Only see this movie if to want to see something that is truly bad.Also, do not make a mistake by thinking that this movie is bad in the way of the classic bad movies like, "Plan 9 From Outer Space". . . Zombie vs Ninja is just plain cut you eyes out, tear off your ears, smash your VCR, horrible. I am glad that this movie is not available to corrupt the DVD market.

Zombie vs Ninja is such a powerful piece of cinema that it somehow created a time warp around my living room and made it seem as if the movie took 4 hours to watch. The acting, editing, garbage bag ninja costumes were all terrible. The movie stunk to high heaven, and caused me to regrettably lose an hour and a half of my life. I'll never regain that time back and I am worse off as a human being for viewing the movie.
