Ninja iii: the domination (1984)

Lucinda dickey plays Christie an young curvaceous telephone engineer and aerobics instructor who works on an telephone connection box where she see's this stranger so she goes to help or at least tries until both started struggle in an tussle after that Christie was about to ran but stops and goes over and starts the ritualistic process of giving her this ninja sword and transfer his spirit into her body the next day she was taking a witness statement to officer Billy Secord after that she encounters an fellow officer and started having weird flashbacks of the officer gunning down her possessor in which later she embarks to hunt the officer down and kill him that ends up being the continuation through out she dose not know why she is doing this neither do Secord until he seeks help by this which doctor played by James Hong that agrees to get down to the root of Christie's behaviour even though she's not down with things like this but went along with the appointment it starts of normal at first then she starts spinning around that almost made the actress sick whilst filming it due to the conclusion that she's possessed only way Secord can release the demon is by turning to this stranger with an eye patch and cladded in black after being questioned for stealing the spirits body from the morgue whilst Christie continues to behave very strangely then Secord comes home to check on her then for her security he almost restrained her and was about to kill him Secord screams and she runs off and makes her way to the destination in order to meet the stranger for an second time but it all works well to say she wins Secord back but the film never had an full validation up on release and deemed it an commercial failure but later dickey went on to be in a successful film about urban street dancing with the title Breakin' a film to rival Beat Street that works on the same principal but Breakin' won hands down and declared it the successful movie of 1984 but at time of home entertainment media Ninja iii finally see the potential it deserves on Vhs following digital treatment's on Dvd and Blu ray but the film can be purchased on these formats selling for higher mark ups via ebay and amazon that is if you want it legitimately and a must have for martial arts movie fans without no doubt that this movie would have being on the hot list of video nasty's in England due to graphic violence with the usages of ninja swords and flying stars and potentially an 18 rated film and thus in which it did but scathed of the video nasty list thew what an relief but later inspired other female martial arts movies like rage and honour with Cynthia Rothrock and others that followed but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie due to a fan of martial arts and aerobics to say I am self taught in both but dickey won me over big time.
