The Hunted (1995)

“Any time we’re at a ninja school, my ears perk right up!” - Steve

On this week’s episode, we’re high-kicking off White Guy Karate Month with an episode on the totally fun ninja thriller, The Hunted, starring Christopher Lambert!

How wild is that hot tub scene? Should the contestants on Forged In Fire be drunk while they try and make their katanas? Would anyone wear the boxer shorts Lambert is sporting in this film? How bad ass is Sensei Takeda? And is that bullet train sequence one of the best action scenes of all time? PLUS: Is there any chance we’re seeing any ninja-related injuries on this season of The Pitt?

The Hunted stars Christopher Lambert, John Lone, Joan Chen, Yoshio Harada, Yôko Shimada, Mari Natsuki, Tak Kubota, Toshishiro Obata, Seth Sakai, James Saito, and Masumi “Detective Cheeseburger” Okada; directed by J.F. Lawton.
