Someone recently told me Sho Kosugi's son Kane was making Ninja movies in Japan. Anyone seen any of Kane's films, and how are they? Got any reccomendations for a Sho Kosugi fan, looking to see what Kane is up to?
There's No Kosugi like Sho Kosugi, like no Kosugi I know...

Don't. My wife and I just watched an old Sho Kosugi ninja movie, and it was just painful. Keep it in the realm of fond memory.
Definately, keep it in the realm of fond memory. Going back and watching
them now is like getting a root canal.

Not true, me and another guy from my Dojo got drunk and watched Revenge of The Ninja last night, it was great!
I'd need a quart of Scotch...the good stuff, not rotgut.
Well now, if your drinking then maybe, just maybe it would
not be quite like a root canal.

I'll take a quart of Drambuie, straight. 
Have not see Revenge of The Ninja fo many years now nor any of his ilms or that matter. i remembe hm for action, blood and guts but the acting might have needed a little more to it.
Heac i stillloved them back in the day
Would like to see what his son is doing if they ever come to the states on dvd

It says here http://www.kanekosugi.com/profile_e/index.html
that he played the starring role in Jiraiya in 1994...that was the same TV series that Hatsumi sensei and Noguchi sensei were in, although I'm not sure what years...

And there's me thinking you guys were talking about the new Sho Kosugi movie that's coming out next year: Return of the Ninja. I **** you not gentlemen!

Is this a bad Hollywood movie, or the latest from a certain popular bookstore ninja?Kreth said:

I've got a DVD called "Blood Heat" which stars Kane Kosugi, but I have not been able to bring myself to watch it yet. I bought it out of curiosity, but always seem to be able to find something else I'd rather watch. I suppose I should force myself to watch it this weekend so I can give more info.
SARCASM ALERT I'm sure it'll be a top notch production. SARCASM ALERT

If it's as action packed as the other movies that were directed by that director, prepare for the next generation of ninjas in your dojo's.
Actually, it now says (maybe it was changed) that the actual title of his 1994 series was "NINJA SENTAI KAKURENJA".
And the TV series he is doing now my kids watch on NHK. Karada de Asobou! (Lets play with our bodies) is a kids series on getting kids to try games and other things that get them active. They even have a little bit every so often about how the samurai moved. I thought the "Kein" I saw was him, but could not be sure.
Edit- found the link to NHK's site about it. Click on the red button for a better look at him.
