Godfrey Ho Is The Dr. Frankenstein Of Martial Arts Movies

Godfrey Ho is a director from Hong Kong and is believed to have directed more than a hundred films. However, unlike any normal filmmaker, Ho made his films by stitching together bits and pieces of other films with new content like some mad scientist.

Ho mainly made martial arts movies such as “Ninja Terminator”, “Ninja Dragon”, “The Ninja Squad”, “Golden Ninja Warrior”, “Ninja The Protector” and pretty much anything else to do with ninjas. He made these movies by taking bits from obscure and/or unfinished films, dubbing them and inserting several ninja sequences that he filmed. A lot of the time, the other films he used were not even martial arts movies so basically you will be sat watching a crime film and then for no real reason, some ninjas will start flipping across the screen. Sometimes, Ho would manipulate the footage in such a way so it looked like characters from one film would be having a conversation with characters from the other film but he was not very good at it.

Richard Harrison, an American actor that is a regular in Ho’s movies. Whether or not it has any relevance to anything else that is going on, you will routinely see him flipping his way across the screen in a ninja costume.

Ho also didn’t seem to care much about copyright as he blatantly steals sounds from major Hollywood movies including Star Wars. Also, check out the poster for a little film called Robo Vampire and see if you think the character bears any resemblance to RoboCop.
