Ninja Busters

1984 · 90 min

A goofy, scrappy martial-arts comedy that ambles along on charm, bad jokes and enthusiastic fight scenes.

Tagline
If you've got ghosts, call ghostbusters but if you've got real trouble call these guys!
Overview
Bernie and Chic are two loveable goofballs just looking for easy work, sexy ladies, and a good slice of pizza. But a beating from a gang of thugs convinces the buddies to train in the martial arts in the hopes of meeting girls… and maybe learning a little self-defense.
