Enter the Ninja is a 1981 American martial arts film directed by the late Menahem Golan and starring Franco Nero, Susan George, Sho Kosugi and the late Christopher George. It is the first film in the Ninja Series. It was followed by Revenge of the Ninja in 1983.
Cole (Franco Nero) is a former American military operative who's just finished his training in ninjutsu in Japan. He heads to the Philippines to visit an old army buddy (Alex Courtney) and his seductive wife (Susan George), who are living on a large property targeted by a wealthy CEO, Charles Venarius (Christopher George), for oil drilling. When Cole fights off his stooges, Venarius recruits Cole's old ninjutsu school rival, the vicious Hasegawa (Shô Kosugi), leading to an explosive showdown.
