Any news about "Enter The Ninja" and "Revenge Of The Ninja"?

I pre-ordered both titles from Amazon last month but my order still hasn´t shipped and both tiles are "Temporarily Out Of Stock" on Amazon´s site.

I browsed on the HMV site and "Enter The Ninja" is listed as shipping but "Revenge Of The Ninja" is listed as "pre-order".

Did someone get their DVDs or the shipping confirmation?

My copies of Enter The Ninja and Revenge Of The Ninja were shipped from HMV last week, and I recieved Enter The Ninja on Friday. Hoping that Revenge arrives today.

I wouldn't hold your breath for it arriving today, today being a bank holiday. BTW my local HMV has them both for sale in the store for £20 each. What a rip-off!

It's not bad at all. And in lovely widescreen.

I remembered that when I came home from work and it wasn't here.

My copies of both movies arrived from HMV last week and it looks like Optimum have done us proud. Fair enough, the only extras are trailers on each relevant release but at least ETN and ROTN are presented in glorious anamorphic widescreen. And to my knowledge, the former film has yet to show up on R1 DVD but it's only a matter of time before Franco Nero's martial-arts actioner hits Stateside shores given it's an MGM title.

Good covers too on Optimum's contributions and the U.K. ROTN definitely wins over the U.S. edition in the artwork stakes. That halcyon image of a Ninja hovering airbourne over a city with one hand hurling spikes and the other holding a portable flamethrower (Or maybe it's a Firework or flare? Hey, it was laser beams up the sleeves in American Ninja!) is truly iconic for fans of '80s 'Shadow Warrior' cinema.

Nice work, Optimum and here's hoping the company has more Sho Kosugi Ninja morsels on the menu.
