What a beautiful movie!

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I remember my excitement, as an 11 year old at the time, when I learned that "The Master" TV series was going to come out on TV. At the time I was really into Bruce Lee movies and just about any Kung Fu/Ninja related movie or show I could find. Of course the same year saw the release of "The Karate Kid" so this was just a great year if you were a fan of martial arts.Unfortunately this series didn't live up to the hype. But for me, it still holds a place in my heart because it happens to be the very first show that I ever taped with a VCR - a beta-max no less! I remember watching parts of that first episode over and over again as I marveled over my newfound ability to rewind and replay video.All these years later I can see that the show has no real legacy and was cancelled after just 13 episodes. If you watch this movie, it is really just the first 2 episodes of the series.

Hey Everybody, I'm desperately searching for the series "The Master" aka "Master Ninja" I bought the DVD of the first 2 episodes from a guy, by mistake - thinking it was the whole series of 13 episodes. It is definitely the worst good TV memory I have over 20 years later, but I just gotta have the little Asian ninja kid episodes - he really looked cool kicking all those adult butts. I've heard rumors that some lame production company put out the series on a 2 DVD set, and even though it was apparently a horrible transfer/dubbing, it was still worth it, but I can't find it, and trying to find 1 person willing to part with the entire VHS set of 2 episodes per tape is not going to happen.Anyone out there with any info, or who would be willing to dub me some copies of there old VHS recordings would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

I remembered that show from when I was a small kid. After each episodes, some friends and I played ninja outside in the woods near their house.I remembered key scenes like when The Master plays dead on the hotel room floor and I remembered Max's van.I recently got the series on DVD from Ebay. What a ride! It was as I remembered. A great show full of adventures. Typical of many shows from the 80's it involved the heroes dropping on some trouble or someone in danger in a random town...If you have the 80's nostalgia or are a ninja movie fan, I recommend seeing this show.

This was good. Lee Van Cleef was very and Van Patten was good.The one with a very young Demi Moore was exciting. This was an excellent ninja show!If you like ninjas and are able to watch it and haven't yet do so because its good!
