Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Dennis Vehlen – ★★★★☆
   “Ninja in the Dragon’s Den is a blast. It’s funny, creative, violent, and downright impressive in the best moments (like a stilt-walking fight scene).”
2. Spoonietox – ★★★★☆
   “Combine the humor of Jackie Chan films and the highly entertaining action of Shaw Brothers films such as Five Elements Ninja, and add a soundtrack which personifies 80s charm, and you have Ninja in the Dragon’s Den.”
3. Kungfuforever – ★★★★★
   “This is a great ninja slash kung fu movie with a good script filled with lots of humor. Great fights and a real classic.”
