Ninja the Mission Force
2012—2013 · VIDEO SERIES
Only a ninja can defeat a ninja. Sometimes, it takes two. When the villainous Bruce discovers the key to Ultimate Ninja Power™, ninja agents Gordon and Cheetah Lee embark on a globe-spanning quest to stop him. Along the way, they encounter an unlikely cast of allies and enemies, including pirates, cowboys, dinosaurs, cyborgs, evil gophers, and an assortment of Hollywood movie stars who were never aware they were part of the adventure.
Created by Meagan Rachelle and produced & directed by Ed Glaser, Ninja the Mission Force was inspired by the cut-and-paste Hong Kong ninja films of the 1980s, which shamelessly repurposed existing movies by inserting newly shot scenes of multicolored ninjas. The series applies the same approach to a wide variety of classic films, weaving re-dubbed scenes together with original footage to create a single absurdly overcomplicated ninja epic. The result is a fast-paced comedy that pays equal tribute to martial arts movies and the gloriously opportunistic spirit of the VHS era. The series received a Telly Award for comedy.
