Strap in for a this year’s wildest cinematic ride with Ryan Harrison and his fevered, gonzo journey into the gorified world of the NINJA BADASS. The Ninja VIP Super Club is doing a slow drag across the American Midwest, culminating in female sacrifice. When they kidnap a super hot babe that local scumbag, Rex, has his eyes on – it’s up to him to become a ninja and steal her back! From exploding cows to bazooka cops, hillbilly senseis, even more super hot babes, deadly flying feet, badass ball rippers and an over-the-top ninja villain in cowboy boots with an appetite for everything that’s soft and fuzzy – along with the original song “I’m a Ninja Now” from Vince Johnson, the singer-songwriter behind Joe Exotic’s viral songs such as “I Saw a Tiger” — this outrageous twist on ‘80s B-ninja flicks is a singular, out-of-body experience moviegoers won’t soon forget! Director / writer / producer / editor / Ryan Harrison joins us for a wide-ranging conversation on what inspired this raucously funny story, the challenge of holding together his Ninja dream project over a five year time-span and how his background as a special effects artist impacted the project.
