NEW YORK NINJA

“It’s a must-see for anyone who loves outrageous old action flicks, and who appreciates the labor of love that is film preservation.” – Lee Jutton, Film Enquiry

Filmed in 1984, New York Ninja never ended up seeing the light of day after its distribution company went bust and the project was abandoned. That was until 2021 when cult distributor Vinegar Syndrome found and re-edited the original footage into a love-letter to 1980s genre cinema. So after 37 years in the making, join John Liu as an ordinary man who becomes a vigilante ninja in order to take revenge on New York City’s bloodthirsty criminal gangs in this fun, beautifully recreated B movie treasure.

Join us at Archive Leeds for a social screening of New York Ninja. With an introduction from the What The Film Club team + a free WTF giveaway prize raffle. Treat yourself!
