11/20 TokyoScope Talk Vol. 7: NINJA ATTACK!

(Original flier art by Kazumi Nonaka AKA Batty Cheese)

Now you see them, now you don’t! 
The ninja – Japan’s famed shadow warriors of legend – are the subject of the next TokyoScope Talk film event, hosted by Patrick Macias.

Produced in association with Matt Alt, co-author of the new book Ninja Attack! True Tales of Assassins, Samurai, and Outlaws (Kodansha International), this presentation will explore the historical and pop culture legacy of the original men (and women!) in black.

Gasp in amazement as rare clips from assorted movies, anime, and TV programs such as “Shinobi no Mono”, “Red Mask”, “Shogun Assassin”, “Dagger of Kamui”, and “Alien vs Ninja” reveal the over-the-top skills, weapons, and deadly techniques of these fearsome martial artists!

*All attendees enter a raffle to win free copies of “Ninja Attack!”!

Admission $10

Patrick,

Just wanted to say that the lecture was really fun and informative. Best of all, I didn't get mugged afterward like I did after the Mecha Lecture!

I was wondering if you could post the ninja films that you think are most worth watching. Actually, I don't know if it's too late to take a trip in the way-back machine, but it would be great if you could do that for the previous lectures too. Anyway, it's a dream...

Hope there are more lectures to come!

Thanks for coming, Chris! I'll post a list of the clips I showed later today. They're *all* worth watching! Eventually, I'll go back and write up proper set lists, but for now, I think there's one up already for TokyoScope Vol. 6: Bad Girls & Wild Women. Look for more shows in 2011!
