Did Someone Ask for Democracy?

Commando Ninja 2: Invasion America

Santa Maria Madre de Dios — EL COMMANDO NINJA! The long waiting is over. Commando Ninja is back and this time war is coming to America. Clandestine powers have banded together and ganged up on the free world. But communists, terrorists and lizardmen reckoned without Commando Ninja's host.

You have to be completely crazy to produce an action-war comedy epic literally single-handedly. Benjamin Combes was shooting with two allies for 90 days. Idea, screenplay, pre-production, direction, camera, editing, sound and effects: Combes is a one-man film production machine just as his Commando Ninja is a one-man army.

We are showing an exclusive Brugggore cut at the festival.

‍

Anyone who dedicated themselves to action and horror films or to films in general with a certain amount of fake blood in the 80ies and 90ies knows PHANTOM COMMANDO, RAMBO or the entire NINJA films such as REVENGE OF THE NINJA or AMERICAN FIGHTER. It is precisely these memories that are awakened in Benjamin Combes' homage. And if a few more brain-eaters appear like in RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, then I am all in.
