I decided to put the earlier scene at the end, as I didn’t want to reveal her face before the big unmasking by the male ninja.
Let’s start with some bad news:
There are some scenes in the episode where she is doing her evil ninja things and fighting with the good guy.
What is bad about it?
Well, the whole time a stuntMAN is playing her role.
That is SO annoying. I am wondering how they thought they could get away with it.
I mean, the audience didn’t know that this ninja is a woman for a long time until she unmasks herself.
But everyone should clearly see that the evil ninja was played by a guy in all those scenes before.
Yeah, they often used stuntMEN to play women in action scenes back in the day, especially in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Mostly due to the lack of stuntwomen.
But this show was aired in the early 90s! And they didn’t find any stuntwoman who could have played that role… fully masked?
I mean, even fully masked in a somewhat loose ninja outfit… you can normally see if it is a woman or a man after a few seconds. And here that stuntguy was shown for minutes!
That’s quite laughable and annoying and shows how badly stuntwomen were needed.
But let’s focus on the scenes in the video.
I think she could have easily gotten a shot at the guy, but she took way too long. Ok, I am not 100% what that barrel exactly was, I guess it was for a deadly dart?
Don’t think that it would have enough range, plus the handling of that thing seems awfully difficult in order to get a very targeted shot at a longer range.
But ok, that’s details…
I think she looks great in that mask, perfectly disguised. The fight is too short, but I love how he defeats and unmasks her! A good reveal for sure 🙂
Ok, some reaction from her would have been nice and she completely freezes in …disappointment(?), but ok…
The self-unmasking is a great reveal, even though it is a bit quick.
I wouldn’t mind having a TV show with a female ninja in the main role!
Then, in a black outfit with some tweaks to her costume.
