Ninja

The title is often confused with Jackie Chan's martial-arts movies, but the 1981 film commonly listed as Ninja is not a standard Jackie Chan vehicle. Film databases contain similarly titled ninja productions, so the country and cast should be checked before identification.

Ninja refers to a martial-arts action title centered on ninja-style combat and revenge themes. Because several films share this short title, year and cast are important for distinguishing the correct release.

Check the listed director, country of production, and cast rather than relying on the title alone. The 1981 year is not enough by itself because ninja films from different markets were released under overlapping English titles.

Jackie Chan's major 1980s hits include The Young Master from 1980 and Police Story from 1985, both built around his recognizable stunt-comedy style. A film simply titled Ninja should not be treated as one of those productions without matching the cast and credits.
