What do I do when I’m bored? I statistics all the things.

Usual shit: IMDB search, filter out games and series, sort by year.

What did I find?

118 movies between 1962 and now. Roughly two a year. 1986 and 1987 were the golden years of ninja movies. About one rolled off the assembly line every month. I don’t think that there is any chronology to them either. 1984 had Ninja 3: The Domination, but there wasn’t a real Ninja 2 or Ninja 4.

Grouping them by decade we get: 56 in 80’s, 22 in 90’s, 15 in the new millenium and 21 recently. By the mid 90’s, studios were pretty ninja’d out and shit like the “3 ninja’s” started coming out and that absolute shit called Pocket Ninjas. If you like training montages, watch Pocket Ninjas.

Here is a list of the movies. How many did you watch?
