DAILY CALL SHEET: MARCH 25, 2024

 

Ninja Terminator (1985) Three ninja masters try to keep a totem of ultimate power out of the hands of an evil overlord, or something like that. It's hard to tell with Godfrey Ho at the helm. Spliced together from a pretty nifty 70's kung fu gangster film with all the dialog changed and mindboggling new footage shot in the 80's featuring aging 50's/60's stalwart Richard Harrison as the unbeatable Ninja Master Harry, this is arguably the apex of Ho's mix and match movie style of filmmaking. Forget plot and just flow with the lunacy.

TIL: With 40+ authors and 73 books (don't start on me, Protestants) written in different genres over the course of 1500 years, the Christian Bible is something of a splice job itself. However, if you understand that the overarching story is that of God revealing Himself to humankind over time then, unlike a Godfrey Ho film, it all becomes a cohesive whole.

I HAVE SOME NOTES: For better or worse, I'm still keeping a notepad nearby during my daily Scripture readings.
