Mafia vs. Ninja aka Hong men jue e zhe is a 1984 martial arts movie made in Hong Kong, starring the near-legendary Alexander Lou in one of his many memorable movies alongside the African-American Eugene Thomas. Directed by Robert Tai.

[edit] Plot Summary

Two sewage workers, Jack Do (Alexander Lou) and Charlie Wu (Charlema Hsu) get mixed up in heavy business when their mobster boss gets assassinated by another mobster who wants to control Shanghai and overflow the streets with opium, along with the usual mafia-related affairs like gambling and prostitution. He is aided by a team of professional assassins, with the most notable two being gaijin, one a black American fighter called Mr. Jones (Eugene Thomas), and the other an Italian knife-expert called Mimo (Silvio Azzolini).

[edit] Trivia

The movie utilizes several poorly made special effects, where wiring and other equipment is clearly visible, which along with the generally poor acting and editing leaves quite a comedic result.
