gets his kicks in" From a retrospective review, Donald Guarisco of AllMovie stated that film was a "pretty lackluster affair." Guarisco also commented on Franco Nero that it "looks uncomfortable as the ninja expert and fails to perform convincingly during the fight scenes" and that Susan George was wasted as the damsel in distress "Even though a large amount of Enter the Ninjas running time is devoted to fight scenes, they lack the skillful choreography and sharp editing that would give them the visceral punch they truly need." On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 35 out of 100, based on 5 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
